Terms of Service

About the portal

The Kharchu Membership Portal is an online service provided by Kharchu Centre Brisbane Inc. to support membership administration, member account access, contributions and related records.

Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using the portal, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the portal. Other policies or arrangements communicated by the organisation may also apply to particular membership activities.

Eligibility and account responsibility

Use the portal only to register for, access or administer a membership or account that you are entitled to use. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in method and account access secure, and for activity carried out through your account. Contact us promptly if you believe someone else has accessed it.

Accurate membership information

Please provide information that is accurate and keep it reasonably up to date. If you notice an error in your membership information, use the available portal functions or contact the organisation for assistance.

Permitted use

You may use the portal for legitimate membership, account and contribution-related purposes, and in accordance with these terms and any instructions shown in the portal.

Prohibited misuse

You must not:

• access or attempt to access another person's account without permission;
• interfere with the portal, its security, or another person's use of it;
• use the portal for unlawful, deceptive or harmful activity; or
• submit information that you know is false or misleading.

Membership payments and contributions

The portal may let members make membership contributions and view related payment records. Payment processing may be provided by Square. Contributions and any applicable membership or payment arrangements are handled according to the organisation's communicated policies. These terms do not create a separate refund or cancellation policy.

Third-party services

The portal may rely on third-party services, including authentication, hosting and payment services. Your use of those services may also be subject to their terms and policies. The organisation does not control third-party services and is not responsible for their separate terms or availability.

Google Sign-In

If you use Google Sign-In, authentication is provided through Google. Your use of Google Sign-In is also subject to Google's terms and privacy information. The portal does not ask for or store your Google password.

Account access and security

You are responsible for using your own account and keeping access details confidential. Do not share sign-in links, verification codes or credentials. The organisation may take reasonable steps to protect accounts and the portal.

Suspension or restriction of portal access

We may suspend or restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the portal or users, address suspected misuse, maintain security, or comply with an obligation. Where appropriate, we will seek to provide information about the restriction and a way to contact us.

Availability and changes to the portal

We aim to keep the portal useful and available, but access may occasionally be interrupted for maintenance, updates, technical issues or circumstances outside our control. We may change or discontinue portal features where reasonably necessary.

Intellectual property

Content, branding and materials made available through the portal belong to the organisation or are used with permission, unless otherwise indicated. You may use them only as needed for your legitimate use of the portal, and must not reproduce or use them in a way that misrepresents the organisation or infringes applicable rights.

Disclaimer and limitation

The portal is provided to support membership services and is not a substitute for contacting the organisation where you need assistance. We take reasonable care in providing the portal, but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies a right or guarantee that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified. To the extent permitted by law, the organisation is not responsible for loss arising from events outside its reasonable control or from your unauthorised use of the portal.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when the portal or our practices change. The current version and its last-updated date will be published on this page. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated terms.
