1. About these Terms
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply when you access or use sofang.com.au and related services (“Sofang”). Sofang is operated by SOFANG PTY LTD (ABN 80 649 963 673) (“we”, “us” or “our”). By using Sofang, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website.
2. What Sofang does
Sofang provides a property information, advertising and enquiry-connection platform. Unless we expressly agree otherwise in a separate written engagement, we are not a real estate agent, buyer’s agent, conveyancer, valuer, lender, mortgage broker, lawyer, accountant, tax adviser, financial adviser or investment adviser. We are not a party to any property sale, lease, finance arrangement or professional-services engagement between users and third parties.
3. Eligibility
You may browse public content without creating an account. You must be at least 18 years old and have legal capacity to create an account, submit a listing, purchase a paid service or enter another binding transaction through Sofang.
4. Accounts and security
If account functions are available, you must provide accurate information, keep your login details secure and notify us promptly of suspected unauthorised access. You are responsible for activity conducted through your account unless it results from our failure to take reasonable care. You must not create an account for another person or business without authority.
5. Your content and licence to us
You retain ownership of listings, text, photographs and other content you submit (“User Content”). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, copy, format, display, communicate and promote that User Content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure and promote Sofang and the relevant listing or profile. This licence ends when the content is removed, except for reasonable backup, legal, fraud-prevention and archival requirements and material already lawfully shared by others.
6. Your responsibilities for content
You must have all rights, permissions and consents needed to submit User Content. You must keep material information accurate and reasonably current and must not submit content that is false, misleading, deceptive, unlawful, discriminatory, defamatory, infringing, fraudulent, unsafe, malicious or invasive of privacy. Listing publishers are responsible for obtaining any licences, authorities, disclosures and approvals required by law.
7. Property information and independent checks
Listings, market information, maps, images and advertisements may be supplied by third parties, generated from public or licensed data, or change without notice. We do not guarantee their completeness, accuracy, availability or currency. Before relying on information or making a decision, independently confirm price, availability, ownership, measurements, boundaries, zoning, planning controls, building condition, inclusions, school catchments, taxes, charges, licences and contract terms with the publisher, relevant authority and appropriately qualified advisers.
8. Enquiries and advertisers
Submitting an enquiry does not create an agency, advisory, finance, sale, lease or other professional relationship with Sofang. A general enquiry addressed to Sofang remains with Sofang unless you choose to consent to a relevant referral or another lawful basis applies. An enquiry form clearly directed to an identified publisher, advertiser or service provider may be sent to that recipient so it can respond. Third parties act independently and are responsible for their services, statements, contracts, licences and handling of personal information.
9. Advertising and sponsored content
Sofang may display advertising, sponsored content, promoted listings or paid placement. We will take reasonable steps to identify commercial content where its nature may not otherwise be clear. Payment or placement does not amount to our endorsement, verification or guarantee of an advertiser, property, product or service.
10. Fees and paid services
Sofang does not currently provide an enabled online payment gateway. If we introduce a paid advertising, subscription, featured-listing or other service, the applicable price, GST treatment, service term, renewal, cancellation and refund conditions will be shown before purchase. You must pay charges you validly authorise. Nothing in these Terms limits any refund, consumer guarantee or other remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
11. Acceptable use
You must not misuse Sofang, including by scraping at unreasonable volume, bypassing access controls, introducing malicious code, impersonating another person, sending spam, harvesting contact information, interfering with the website, copying a database or substantial part of it without permission, or using Sofang to facilitate unlawful, fraudulent or harmful activity. Ordinary sharing and linking are permitted provided you do not falsely imply our endorsement, frame content in a misleading way or bypass security controls.
12. Moderation, suspension and removal
We may review, refuse, correct obvious formatting errors, restrict or remove content, or suspend an account where we reasonably believe it is necessary for security, legal compliance, user safety, fraud prevention, a material breach of these Terms or protection of Sofang. Where reasonably practicable and not urgent, we will give notice and an opportunity to respond. You may contact us to request a review.
13. Third-party links and services
Sofang may link to third-party websites or services. We do not control them. A link does not amount to endorsement, and your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider’s own terms and privacy practices.
14. Sofang intellectual property
Except for User Content and third-party material, Sofang’s branding, website design, software and original content are owned by or licensed to us and protected by law. You may use public pages for personal, non-commercial property research and share ordinary links. Any broader reproduction, commercial reuse, systematic extraction or modification requires permission unless permitted by law.
15. Privacy and electronic messages
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. A property enquiry does not, by itself, subscribe you to unrelated marketing. Where you separately consent to marketing, you may unsubscribe using the method in the message or by contacting us.
16. Availability and changes
We aim to keep Sofang available but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may maintain, improve, replace or discontinue functions. If a material change affects a paid service, we will provide any notice or remedy required by law.
17. Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified, including under the Australian Consumer Law.
18. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss caused solely by inaccurate third-party content, a third party’s acts or omissions, or your failure to undertake reasonable independent checks. We do not exclude liability to the extent it arises from our own fraud, wilful misconduct, negligence, breach of an applicable consumer guarantee, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Where the law permits us to limit a remedy for a service, our liability may be limited to re-supplying the service or paying the reasonable cost of re-supply.
19. Indemnity
You are responsible for reasonable loss, damage, liability and external costs we incur to the extent caused by your unlawful User Content, your infringement of another person’s rights, your fraud or wilful misconduct, or your material breach of these Terms. This does not apply to the extent the loss was caused by our act or omission, and it does not require you to indemnify us for liability that cannot lawfully be shifted to you.
20. Reports and complaints
To report a suspected false listing, infringement, privacy issue or other concern, email info@sofang.com.au with the page URL, a description of the issue and supporting information. We may need to verify your identity or request further details before acting.
21. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the service, law or security needs. The current version and effective date will be published on this page. Changes apply prospectively. If a material change affects an existing paid service or materially reduces a user’s rights, we will provide any additional notice or choice required by law.
22. General
If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be read down or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will continue. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver. These Terms, together with any specific paid-service terms shown before purchase and our Privacy Policy, form the agreement concerning your use of Sofang.
23. Governing law and contact
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Courts with jurisdiction in New South Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any rights you have to bring a claim elsewhere under applicable law.
