Website terms of use

Scout Local Media publishes Compare A Broker Directory as an independent directory of mortgage broker businesses in Gold Coast. Scores come from public review data, computed under the published rubric on the scoring method page, and the same rubric applies to every business. These terms govern your use of the site.

Information, not endorsement

Listings and scores are information, not an endorsement or a recommendation. Business details can change faster than any directory updates, so confirm the specifics (availability, pricing, credentials, insurance) directly with a business before engaging it. We work to keep the data accurate but do not guarantee it is complete, current, or error-free.

Enquiries and referral fees

This site may route enquiries to listed businesses or partners and may receive referral fees for doing so. Fees never affect scores or rankings: those are computed from public review data under the published rubric, and no payment can change them.

Corrections, disputes, and removals

If your business is listed on this site and a detail is wrong, or you want to dispute a score or request removal, the process is set out in our listing policy.

Acceptable use

Use the site to research businesses and send genuine enquiries. Scraping or republishing the compiled directory content, submitting false enquiries, interfering with the site’s operation, and any unlawful use are all prohibited.

Ownership of content

Editorial content, scores, and the compiled directory are the property of Scout Local Media. We do not claim ownership of the public reviews the analysis is derived from (those remain with their authors), nor of any business name or trademark that appears in a listing.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided as-is. To the extent the law allows, Scout Local Media is not liable for losses arising from your use of the site, from reliance on the information in it, or from your dealings with any business you find through it. Your agreement with a business you engage is between you and that business. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Applicable law

These terms, and any dispute about the site, are governed by the laws of Australia and subject to the jurisdiction of its courts.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms from time to time; the current version is always the one published on this page, with the date above. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms. Questions about them can go to hello@scoutlocalmedia.com.au.
