11. Australian Consumer Law Compliance

Crazy Games Australia operates in compliance with the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), including the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) set out in Schedule 2 of that Act.

Under the ACL, consumers are entitled to certain guarantees that cannot be excluded by agreement. Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any rights or remedies you may have under the ACL or any other applicable Australian legislation, to the extent that such rights or remedies cannot be lawfully excluded, restricted, or modified.

In particular:

• Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled to cancel your service contract with us and receive a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. If the failure does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have problems with the service rectified in a reasonable time.
• We do not engage in misleading or deceptive conduct in relation to our services. All descriptions of games, features, and services on the Platform are accurate to the best of our knowledge.
• As the Platform is provided free of charge and does not involve any financial transactions by users, many ACL provisions relating to paid goods and services may not directly apply. However, we remain committed to operating transparently, honestly, and in accordance with the spirit of the ACL.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
