1. Licence to Use the Website

We grant you a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable licence to use the Website in accordance with these Terms. You may access and use the Website (including any incidental copying that occurs as part of that use) in the normal manner and may print or store electronically one copy of any page for your own personal, non-commercial use.

You must not add any content to the Website:

  • Unless you hold all necessary rights, licences and consents to do so.
  • That would cause you or us to breach any law, regulation, code or other legal obligation.
  • That is, or could reasonably be considered to be, obscene, defamatory, discriminatory, threatening, harassing, or otherwise inappropriate.
  • That would bring us, or the Website, into disrepute.
  • That infringes the intellectual property or other rights of any person.

Some content on the Website may deal with mature or sensitive themes, including drug use. Viewer discretion is advised.

2. Memberships and Paid Services

Loiter™ offers membership options with different levels of access and benefits:

  • Loiter Member (free tier) — newsletter access; access to public posts.
  • Loiter Subscriber (paid tier) — all benefits of Loiter member, plus: access to all posts; access to comments, and access to additional newsletter content such as curated playlists.
  • Loiter Supporter (paid tier) — all benefits of Loiter Subscriber and Loiter Member tiers, plus: delivery of a quarterly print magazine (produced in limited, hand-signed and hand-numbered editions), invitations to private author Q&A sessions; the ability to submit questions for interviews and features; the ability to pitch ideas and content for consideration; acknowledgement on our “Thank You” wall.

We do not guarantee that all submissions, pitches, or questions will be reviewed, published, or responded to, and participation is subject to availability and the willingness of individual authors.

Details of the current entitlements for each tier are published on our Website. We may vary or update those entitlements from time to time but will use reasonable efforts to ensure that each tier continues to provide benefits of comparable overall value.

Loiter Quarterly Magazine: One copy is provided per active Supporter for each issue. To be eligible, you must hold an active Supporter membership at both the billing date and the dispatch date for that issue. The first eligible issue is the next scheduled after joining; no back issues are supplied. A valid Australian postal address is required for delivery. If a copy is lost or damaged in transit, remedies will be provided in accordance with Australian Consumer Law. If delivery cannot be completed due to an incorrect address, we may charge a reasonable re-delivery fee.

Membership fees (where applicable) are charged in AUD and include applicable Australian taxes unless otherwise stated. Payment will be processed through our nominated payment provider.

  • You may cancel your membership at any time; cancellation will stop future renewals but will not result in a refund for the current billing period unless required under Australian Consumer Law.
  • Under the Australian Consumer Law, you are entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund if the service has a major problem (for example, it is not provided as promised). We do not offer refunds for change of mind.

By posting or adding any content onto the Website, you grant us a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide and transferable right and licence to use that content in any way (including, without limitation, reproducing, changing, and communicating it to the public) and to permit others to do the same. You consent to any act or omission that would otherwise infringe your moral rights, and you must ensure that any third party who has moral rights in the content consents in the same way.

The Website may contain links to other websites and content added by people other than us. We do not endorse, sponsor, or approve any such user-generated content or any content available on any linked website.

  • in the case of services: resupplying the services or paying the cost of having them resupplied.

6. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Website if you breach these Terms. Termination will not affect any rights or obligations that have accrued before that date.

7. Assignment and Severance

If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or judged to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
