Our website does not store or capture personal information automatically, but merely logs the user's Internet Protocol address which is automatically recognised by the Web server which then delivers web pages to your computer. If you are connected to the Internet you will have an Internet Protocol address which may look something like this: 198.524.68.7.
The only personal information that we will collect is the personal information that you provide to us when you register, or when you communicate with us through our Website. We will at any time, at your request, provide you with a copy of any personal information that we are holding about you.

The Weekly is mailed as a bulk email and we cannot guarantee the delivery of the Weekly every week as individual organisations/servers have capacity to block emails and we have no control over that (although we do attempt to resend the Weekly if it bounces back and we contact the subscriber). The use of the information is at the discretion of the user. OzScientific or any of its subsidiaries are not liable for any damage whatsoever caused by the email or newsletter or by use of the information in this email or newsletter

Your subscription may be cancelled without refund if there was an evidence of the misuse of the single-license subscription. We reserve the right to refuse subscription, vary subscription rates and offer variable rates. Invoice for renewal is sent at the end of the subscription; subscribers are required to confirm if renewal is not required within 2 weeks. Failing that, we will assume that the subscription is renewed. Renewal subscription payments are due within 4 weeks of renewal; delayed payments may incur an additional service charge.
