By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should not use the Site.

2. Description of the service

The Site serves as the public web presence for SOCii PTY LTD. It provides information about SOCii, its mission, and its publicly available platforms, including:

• A-GIC, the Australian General Independent Census, accessible at census.socii.au; and
• AIM-HR, the Australian Independent Model for Housing Reform, accessible at housing.socii.au; and
• Facecut, an advocacy media utility application, accessible at facecut.socii.au.

The Site itself is informational in nature. It does not directly collect census responses, run housing models, or process user-submitted data. Each sub-application (A-GIC, AIM-HR, and Facecut) is governed by its own terms and privacy policies, which are available on the respective platforms.

• legal advice;
• financial advice;
• housing, planning, or property advice;
• tax advice; or
• professional advice of any kind.

Any data, models, projections, or analysis accessible through SOCii platforms are for informational and modelling purposes only. They are not a substitute for independent professional advice. You should not act or refrain from acting based solely on the content of the Site or any SOCii platform without first seeking appropriate professional counsel.

4. Acceptable use

When using the Site, you agree not to:

• use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in contravention of any applicable Australian Commonwealth, State, or Territory law;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site, its servers, or any connected systems;
• introduce any virus, malware, or other harmful code to the Site;

6. Third-party links and sub-applications

The Site contains links to sub-applications operated by SOCii PTY LTD (A-GIC at census.socii.au, AIM-HR at housing.socii.au, and Facecut at facecut.socii.au). While these platforms are operated by the same entity, they are separate applications with their own terms of service and privacy policies.

When you click a link to A-GIC, AIM-HR, or Facecut, you leave the main SOCii website and are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective platform. SOCii PTY LTD is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or completeness of content on third-party websites that may be linked from the Site.

8. Digital communication and electronic signatures

You consent to receiving communications from SOCii PTY LTD electronically, including via the Site, email, or through notices posted on associated platforms. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
