Scope of Our Services
WWW.COM MEDIA PTY LTD provides an online Platform that introduces Users who wish to learn about Venues that have created Profiles and published their Restaurants on our Platform for the purposes of making them available for enquiries (referred to as “Services”). WWW.COM MEDIA PTY LTD may provide Services either online, by email, by telephone or through any other means.
Users make enquiry directly with Venues. WWW.COM MEDIA PTY LTD acts only as an intermediary to help advertise Venues, to refer Users to Venues and to increase your traffic. Any contract, arrangement or agreement is between you and a User. WWW.COM MEDIA PTY LTD is not a party to nor liable under any contract, arrangement or agreement entered into between Venue and User, nor is WWW.COM MEDIA PTY LTD a contracting agent or insurer.
Through our Platform, a User can view details and learn about Venues and Restaurants and send you Enquiries which you agree to receive.
Users can find Venues by browsing Venues who registered with us and published their Profiles. Alternatively, a User may fill in the “Help me with venues” form or contact us by any other means, so that a 10 of The Best Representative will select or suggest a suitable Venue for a User. In doing so, 10 of The Best Representative will take into account User’s preferences and requirements. Consequently, a User may send you a Enquiry or, if requested by User, a 10 of The Best Representative can send you a Enquiry on User’s behalf which you agree to receive.
You agree that you will respond to Enquiries from Users or 10 of The Best Representatives either by replying to or rejecting Enquiries.
