About this website: This website, king.com.au, is operated by Matthew King ("we", "us", "our"). It serves as both the author website of Matthew King (providing information about his books and writing, links to third-party retailers, and an optional email mailing list) and the website of Matthew King's digital consulting practice (providing information about professional consulting services).

​

About these terms: Use of this website constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use this website. We may modify these terms at any time without prior notice. Any changes take effect when published on this website, and continued use after that time constitutes acceptance of the changed terms.

​

The website

Intellectual property: All content on this website, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, book cover artwork, excerpts, and descriptions of services, is the property of Matthew King or of third parties whose rights are identified, and is protected by the Commonwealth of Australia Copyright Act 1968 and international copyright law. You may access, display, download and print portions of this website for your own private, non-commercial use. Any other use, including reproduction, redistribution, or commercial use, is prohibited without our prior written permission.

​

Website functionality: We do not represent or warrant that the website will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the website or its server is free of viruses or other harmful elements. You use the website at your own risk.

​

Consulting services

This website provides information about the digital consulting services offered by Matthew King, which may include digital strategy, business analysis, e-commerce, content strategy and management, systems (CMS and CRM) selection and setup, information architecture, UX/UI design, product development, agile delivery and project management, and related advisory services.

​

Information only: The descriptions of services on this website, and any general guidance, articles, or "common sense advice" provided here or in an initial discussion, are for general information only. They do not constitute a formal engagement, professional advice tailored to your specific circumstances, or a commitment to provide services.

​

Engagements are governed by a separate agreement: Any provision of consulting services is subject to a separate written agreement, engagement letter, or statement of work agreed between us and the client. That agreement, and not these website terms, governs the scope of work, deliverables, fees, payment terms, timeframes, confidentiality, intellectual property in work produced, and the responsibilities of each party. Where any conflict arises between these website terms and a signed engagement agreement, the engagement agreement prevails.

Enquiries: You are welcome to contact us to discuss your requirements, including for an initial conversation about your digital landscape. Making an enquiry does not create any obligation on either party until a separate engagement is agreed in writing.

​

Mailing list

This website offers an optional email mailing list, which you may join to receive news about Matthew King's books, new releases, and related updates.

​

Consent and joining: You join the mailing list only by voluntarily submitting your email address through the sign-up form on this website. By subscribing, you consent to receive commercial electronic messages from us in accordance with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth).

​

What we send: Mailing list messages may include news of new and forthcoming books, release announcements, occasional updates about the author's work, and related offers. We aim to send messages no more frequently than is reasonable.

​

Unsubscribing: Every email we send includes a functioning unsubscribe link. You may unsubscribe at any time, and we will action your request promptly. You may also contact us directly at [matthew@king.com.au to be removed.

​

Your information: We collect only the information you provide when subscribing (such as your email address and, if you choose to give it, your name). We use it solely to operate the mailing list and communicate with you about the author's work. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We may use a reputable third-party email service provider to manage and send the mailing list, and your information may be stored and processed by that provider for that purpose.

​

​

Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. We collect personal information only where you provide it (for example, when joining the mailing list, making a consulting enquiry, or otherwise contacting us), and we use it only for the purpose for which it was provided. We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold. If you have any questions about privacy, or wish to access or correct the information we hold about you, please contact us at matthew@king.com.au.

Third-party links and retailers

This website contains links to third-party websites, including online retailers such as Amazon, where Matthew King's books may be purchased. We are not responsible for the content, products, services, pricing, availability, or privacy practices of those third-party websites. Any purchase you make from a third-party retailer is governed by that retailer's own terms and conditions, not these. If you have a problem with a linked third-party website, that matter is between you and the operator of that website.

​

Purchases of books: Books by Matthew King are, unless otherwise stated on this website, sold and delivered by third-party retailers (such as Amazon), and any such purchase, its pricing, delivery, and any refunds are the responsibility of that retailer under its own terms. This website does not itself process those sales.

​

Social media

This website may include links or buttons to social media platforms. When you interact with those buttons, data may be sent to the relevant platform, and your interaction is subject to that platform's own terms and privacy policy.

​

Disclaimers and liability

The content of this website is provided for general information only. While we take care to keep it accurate and current, we do not warrant that it is complete, accurate, or up to date, and you should not rely on it as a substitute for professional advice tailored to your circumstances.

​

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, this website or its content. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law or other law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where liability can be limited but not excluded, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. Liability arising from any consulting engagement is governed by the separate engagement agreement for that work.

​

Notices

We may notify users of this website by a general notice published on the website, or by email to an address you have provided to us.

Governing law

These terms and conditions, and your use of this website, are governed by the laws of the State of New South Wales, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that State.
