6 About Immiworkers

6.1 The Immiwork Rating system

An Immiwork Rating reflects Immiwork’s assessment of a given Immiworker, based upon the information obtained by or submitted to Immiwork. Someone else’s assessment of the same Immiworker may be very different, or be based upon different information. An Immiwork Rating is not an endorsement of any particular Immiworker, and is not a guarantee of an Immiworker’s quality, competency, or character. Nor is the Immiwork Rating a predictor of the outcome of any matter in which such Immiworkers are involved. Rather, the Immiwork Rating is intended to be a starting point to gather information about Immiworkers who may be suitable for your needs, but you should not rely solely on the Immiwork Rating in deciding whether to contact or hire any given Immiworker.

6.2 Information on the services

Our Services display both Immiwork-created content and content that is not created or developed by Immiwork (the ” Information”). We may review third party-content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. But we do not routinely screen third-party content that is published via our Services. This includes the Information that Immiworkers post on Immiwork, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or quality of any such Information, or the qualifications of those posting it.

If Immiworkers believe information on their profiles is not current or correct, they should immediately rectify the issue or contact us at support@immiwork.com to get us to correct the information. We will double check the information with the relevant regulatory body or licensing authority before making any changes.

6.3 No formation of an Immiworker-client relationship or professional privilege

The Information found on Immiwork is intended for general informational purposes only and should be used only as a starting point for addressing your issues. The Information is not the provision of legal/Migration/Education/Translation or other similar services, and accessing such information, or corresponding with or asking questions to an Immiworker via the Services, or otherwise using the Services, does not create an Immiworker-client relationship between you and Immiwork, or you and any Immiworker. It is not a substitute for an in-person or telephonic consultation with an Immiworker licensed to practice in your jurisdiction about your specific issue, and you should not rely on such Information.

11 Disputes between you and Immiwork

11.1 Mandatory Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

We hope we never have a dispute, but if we do, you and we agree to try for 60 days to resolve it informally. You may send us the details of your concern to legal@immiwork.com  However, if Immiwork is not able to informally resolve your complaint, you and Immiwork agree to refer the dispute to the Australian Commercial Disputes Centre (ACDC) for final settlement by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules of the ACDC, or by another dispute resolution process suggested by ACDC and accepted by the parties. Any fees payable to ACDC or to the person appointed by ACDC must be paid by the parties equally.

The following applies to any arbitration proceedings between you and Immiwork:

Before moving an unresolved informal dispute into arbitration, you must first send us a Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and the specific relief sought. This notice may be sent via email to legal@immiwork.com.

Any arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with ACDC within One (1) Year from when it first could be filed. Otherwise, it is permanently barred. If applicable law prohibits a one-year limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.

Whenever feasible, the arbitration will be held telephonically unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. You may choose the location of any in-person hearing from either your county of residence; or, if you are a business, the county of your principal place of business; or, Immiwork’s principal place of business in NSW, Australia.

Notwithstanding our agreement to arbitrate disputes as provided above, the following exceptions will apply to the resolution of disputes between us:

Disputes not Covered by Arbitration: In the event that arbitration is found to be inapplicable or unenforceable for any reason and if both parties, you and Immiwork, exercise the option to opt-out of arbitration, the claim at issue will be brought under judicial proceedings in federal or state courts in state of NSW, Australia, and you and Immiwork consent to personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue in such courts.

Option to Opt Out of Arbitration: Immiwork and You may mutually opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. In this case, the mutual and post hoc agreement of both you and Immiwork must be obtained. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to the arbitration provision in these terms and conditions. To opt out you must send us a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration, along with your name, residence or business address, and the email address associated with your account to: legal@immiwork.com. Immiwork must reply to you in 30 days after you sent your request email. If Immiwork mutually agrees with your request, then both parties can opt out of arbitration.

No class action: You may only bring individual claims. Under no circumstances are you allowed to bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class. Class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private lawyer-general actions, and any other proceedings where someone acts in a representative capacity are not allowed. Any combining of individual proceedings must have the consent of all parties.
