Terms of use

Scout Local Media publishes Swan Valley Winery Guide as an independent directory of winery businesses in Swan Valley. Scores come from public review data, computed under the published rubric on the how we score page, and the same rubric applies to every business. These terms govern your use of the site.

No endorsement

Nothing on this site is a recommendation to engage any particular business. Scores summarise public review data; they are not a promise about the service you will receive. Check the details that matter to you directly with the business before engaging it. We aim for accuracy but do not guarantee the information is current, complete, or free of errors.

Enquiries and referral fees

This site may route enquiries to listed businesses or partners and may receive referral fees for doing so. Fees never affect scores or rankings: those are computed from public review data under the published rubric, and no payment can change them.

Corrections, disputes, and removals

If your business is listed on this site and a detail is wrong, or you want to dispute a score or request removal, the process is set out in our listing policy.

Acceptable use

Use the site to research businesses and send genuine enquiries. Scraping or republishing the compiled directory content, submitting false enquiries, interfering with the site’s operation, and any unlawful use are all prohibited.

Content ownership

Editorial content, scores, and the compiled directory are the property of Scout Local Media. We do not claim ownership of the public reviews the analysis is derived from (those remain with their authors), nor of any business name or trademark that appears in a listing.

Our responsibility

The site is provided as-is. To the extent the law allows, Scout Local Media is not liable for losses arising from your use of the site, from reliance on the information in it, or from your dealings with any business you find through it. Your agreement with a business you engage is between you and that business. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Which law applies

These terms are governed by the laws of Australia, and any dispute about them falls under the jurisdiction of the courts of Australia.

Updates to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time; the current version is always the one published on this page, with the date above. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms. Questions about them can go to hello@scoutlocalmedia.com.au.
