Terms of Use

1. About these Terms

These Terms of Use (Terms) govern access to and use of the Ready Venture website, ReadyVenture OS interfaces, online forms, resources and other website features made available by READY VENTURE GROUP PTY LTD trading as Ready Venture (Ready Venture, we, us, our).

Ready Venture is a registered business name of READY VENTURE GROUP PTY LTD (ABN 79 701 288 459).

ReadyVenture OS is the platform and technology brand used in connection with Ready Venture services.

By using interactive website features, submitting an enquiry or form, creating an account, accessing a gated resource or purchasing or using a service, you agree to these Terms. If you purchase a paid service, membership or platform entitlement, additional terms may apply under a proposal, order form, Master Services Agreement (MSA), Statement of Work (SOW), invoice, payment page, data-processing addendum or other written agreement.

2. Ready Venture's role

Ready Venture provides business and venture-readiness consulting and professional services. We help founders and companies assess readiness, identify gaps, strengthen evidence, organise materials, prepare data rooms and reports, and, where appropriate and with consent, prepare structured handoffs to approved licensed, authorised, exempt or specialist partners.

ReadyVenture OS is the platform and technology layer supporting these workflows. Ready Venture does not itself act as a broker, placement agent, investment bank, lender, credit provider, financial adviser, investment adviser, law firm or tax adviser. Where regulated or specialist services are required, they must be provided by an appropriately licensed, authorised, exempt or qualified independent provider under the applicable engagement.

3. Intended users and business use

The website and launch services are primarily intended for businesses, founders, directors and authorised representatives acting for business or commercial purposes. You must have authority to submit information or enter into arrangements on behalf of a company.

If you are acting as an individual consumer rather than for business or commercial purposes, please contact Ready Venture before purchasing a service so the appropriate scope, terms and applicable consumer protections can be considered.

4. Website information

Website content is general information about Ready Venture services, readiness frameworks, educational material and potential pathways. It is not a substitute for a tailored professional engagement and should not be relied on as a decision to invest, lend, borrow, issue securities, claim a grant or tax incentive, enter a market, sell securities or complete a transaction.

5. Paid services and order of documents

The scope, deliverables, timing, dependencies, pricing, taxes, acceptance process and payment terms for a paid service are set out in the applicable written proposal, SOW, order, invoice or checkout terms.

If there is a conflict, the following order applies unless the signed documents expressly state otherwise: signed MSA or negotiated agreement; SOW or order form; approved proposal or service-specific terms; these Terms; general website content.

6. Your responsibilities

You agree to provide complete, current and accurate information reasonably required for the service and to identify any material facts, restrictions, disputes, liabilities, ownership issues or missing documents that could affect the analysis.

You are responsible for obtaining any internal approvals and third-party permissions required to provide information to Ready Venture. You must not upload material that is unlawful, misleading, infringing, malicious or outside your authority to disclose.

Ready Venture may pause work, qualify an output or decline a partner handoff where information is materially incomplete, inconsistent, unverifiable or outside the approved scope.

7. Fees, payments, cancellations and refunds

7.1 Fees, currencies and payment

Fees, currencies, payment timing and any applicable taxes are those shown in the relevant proposal, order form, Statement of Work (SOW), invoice, checkout page or other written service terms.

Unless stated otherwise, fees are payable in the currency displayed at the time of purchase. Bank charges, card charges, payment-processing charges, withholding taxes and foreign-exchange costs imposed by third parties may be additional where permitted by law.

Payment purchases the relevant Ready Venture readiness service, assessment, consultation, membership, platform entitlement or other agreed professional service. Payment does not purchase or guarantee funding, investment, investor access, lender approval, credit approval, grant approval, market entry, a transaction outcome or any other third-party decision.

Ready Venture is a registered business name of READY VENTURE GROUP PTY LTD (ABN 79 701 288 459).

7.2 Service-specific terms

The rules in this Section apply unless an applicable proposal, SOW, order form, invoice, checkout page or service-specific term provides additional or more specific terms.

Where there is an inconsistency, the order of documents stated in Section 5 applies, subject always to any guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

7.3 Cancellations before work begins

If you wish to cancel a paid service before substantive work has commenced, you should contact Ready Venture as soon as reasonably possible.

Where no substantive work has commenced, Ready Venture may provide a refund of amounts paid, less any clearly disclosed and non-recoverable third-party costs or agreed administrative charges, where permitted by law.

Instead of a refund, Ready Venture and the client may agree to apply some or all of the amount paid as a credit toward another Ready Venture service.

For this purpose, substantive work may include onboarding, document review, research, analysis, assessment, preparation, configuration, drafting, report generation, data-room work, strategy preparation or other work specifically undertaken for the client.

7.4 Cancellation after work has commenced

Once substantive work has commenced, a full refund may not be available.

If an engagement is cancelled after work has commenced, Ready Venture may retain or charge a reasonable amount for:

- services already performed;

- work completed or substantially progressed;

- professional time already committed to the engagement;

- onboarding, analysis, preparation or research already undertaken; and

- non-recoverable third-party costs incurred specifically for the engagement,

to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Any remaining refundable amount will be determined having regard to the work already performed, the stage of the engagement, any service-specific terms and applicable law.

7.5 Consultations, meetings and booked sessions

Consultations, readiness calls, workshops and other booked sessions may generally be rescheduled where reasonable notice is provided.

Where a client cancels with insufficient notice or does not attend a scheduled appointment, the booking fee may be non-refundable where professional time was specifically reserved and could not reasonably be reallocated, subject to applicable law and any booking conditions disclosed at the time of purchase.

Ready Venture may, at its discretion, offer a replacement appointment, rescheduled session or service credit.

7.6 Deposits, staged projects and milestone payments

Some projects may require an upfront deposit, commencement payment or staged milestone payments.

A deposit may be applied toward onboarding, assessment, preparation, reserved professional capacity, research, analysis or other agreed work.

If a project is cancelled after work has commenced, any refund of a deposit or staged payment will take into account work already performed and any non-recoverable costs incurred, subject to applicable law.

Where milestone payments apply, amounts attributable to completed milestones are generally not refundable solely because the client later chooses not to proceed with subsequent stages.

7.7 Memberships, subscriptions and platform entitlements

Where Ready Venture offers a recurring membership, subscription or platform entitlement, the applicable checkout page, order form or service-specific terms will state the billing period, renewal terms and any available cancellation method.

Unless otherwise stated, cancelling a recurring service stops future renewals but does not automatically create a refund for a billing period that has already commenced.

Any mandatory cancellation, refund or cooling-off rights available under applicable law continue to apply.

7.8 Change-of-mind requests

Unless required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise, Ready Venture is not required to provide a refund solely because a client changes their mind after purchasing or commencing a service.

Ready Venture may nevertheless consider reasonable requests in good faith and may, where appropriate, offer a reschedule, service credit, alternative service or other practical solution.

7.9 Service concerns, approved refunds and payment disputes

If you believe a service has not been supplied as agreed, please contact Ready Venture promptly and provide reasonable details of the issue.

Ready Venture will review the matter and, where appropriate, may offer completion or correction of the service, replacement work, a service credit, cancellation, partial refund, full refund or another remedy appropriate to the circumstances.

Where a refund is approved, Ready Venture will generally return the refund to the original payment method where practicable.

Refund processing times may vary depending on the payment processor, card issuer, bank or financial institution. Ready Venture is not responsible for third-party processing delays after an approved refund has been submitted.

Unless required by law, Ready Venture is not responsible for foreign-exchange movements, currency-conversion differences or separate fees charged independently by a client's bank, card issuer or payment provider.

Clients are encouraged to contact Ready Venture before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback so that any service or billing concern can first be investigated and, where appropriate, resolved directly. Nothing in this paragraph limits any lawful right to dispute a payment.

7.10 International clients and mandatory consumer rights

Ready Venture provides services to clients in Australia and internationally.

The governing-law provisions in Section 21 apply subject to any mandatory consumer protection or other statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded in a client's jurisdiction.

Where applicable law provides an international client with additional cancellation, withdrawal, cooling-off, refund or other mandatory rights, those rights apply to the extent required by law.

Where a client requests that Ready Venture commence services immediately, including during any applicable statutory cooling-off or withdrawal period, Ready Venture may commence work at the client's request. If the client later exercises a statutory cancellation or withdrawal right, the client may be required, where permitted by law, to pay a reasonable or proportionate amount for services actually supplied before cancellation.

7.11 Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these Terms, this Section or any service-specific cancellation or refund term excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including any rights that may apply under the Australian Consumer Law.

Where the Australian Consumer Law applies, remedies may include re-performance, cancellation, refund, compensation or another remedy depending on the circumstances and the nature of the failure.

See also Section 19 — Non-excludable rights and fair contract treatment.

7.12 Contact for cancellations, refunds and service concerns

Requests relating to cancellations, rescheduling, refunds, billing or service concerns should be submitted through the Ready Venture Contact page or by email to finance@readyventureos.com.

Where milestone payments apply, amounts attributable to completed milestones are generally not refundable solely because the client later chooses not to proceed with subsequent stages.

8. AI-assisted analysis

Ready Venture may use AI-assisted tools for intake, document review, summarisation, scoring support, risk identification, drafting and workflow administration.

AI outputs may contain errors or omissions and are not automatically released as final client or external outputs. Ready Venture review is required before client-facing release or a partner-routing decision. You should review final deliverables and promptly notify Ready Venture of material inaccuracies.

9. No regulated or professional advice

Unless expressly delivered by an appropriately licensed, authorised, exempt or qualified professional under a separate engagement, Ready Venture does not provide financial product advice, investment advice, securities placement, credit advice, lending services, brokerage, legal advice, tax advice, grant eligibility determinations, R&D tax advice, foreign-investment advice or market-entry advice.

Readiness observations, pathway categories, checklists, scores and gap analyses are business-preparation tools. They are not recommendations to acquire, dispose of or hold a financial product, choose a lender or credit product, enter into a transaction, make a tax claim or take a legal position.

10. Partner pathways and handoffs

Ready Venture may maintain relationships with independent professional, commercial, strategic, technology, capital, debt, grant and specialist service providers. Where appropriate, and with the client’s consent, Ready Venture may introduce or refer a client to an independent third party whose services may be relevant to the client’s stated needs.

Ready Venture may facilitate introductions or referrals to independent third-party providers where relevant to a client’s readiness needs. Ready Venture’s role is limited to the services expressly described in the applicable engagement terms and does not, by itself, constitute securities placement, investment advice, financial product advice, credit advice, lending or transaction execution.

Any investor, lender, grant provider, adviser or other third party introduced to a client acts independently and makes its own decisions regarding eligibility, engagement, pricing, underwriting, investment, lending, grants, professional advice and transaction terms. Ready Venture does not have authority to bind, commit, approve or make decisions on behalf of any such third party.

An introduction, referral or handoff by Ready Venture is not an endorsement, recommendation, guarantee or representation that a third party will engage with a client, provide funding, approve credit, make an investment, award a grant or complete any transaction.

Ready Venture may receive fixed referral fees, platform fees, workflow fees, sponsorship fees, directory fees or service fees from independent third-party providers where permitted by law and where relevant to a client engagement. Any material referral arrangement or potential conflict of interest will be disclosed where required.

Ready Venture does not receive fees calculated as a percentage of capital raised, investment completed, securities sold or credit advanced.

The existence of a referral or other fee arrangement does not guarantee funding, investment, credit approval, grant approval or completion of any transaction.

11. No guarantees

Ready Venture does not guarantee funding, investment, lending, grants, R&D outcomes, investor or lender interest, introductions, term sheets, approvals, founder liquidity, market entry, partner engagement, valuation, revenue, growth or transaction completion.

Outcomes depend on third-party mandates, underwriting, eligibility, market conditions, jurisdiction, timing, company information and independent decision-making outside Ready Venture's control.

12. Intellectual property

Ready Venture and its licensors retain ownership of the Ready Venture brand, ReadyVenture OS, ReadyScore, ReadyMemo, ReadyRoom, website content, software, templates, methodologies, scoring systems, taxonomies, prompts, workflows, report structures, know-how and other background intellectual property unless a written agreement states otherwise.

Subject to payment and the applicable engagement, Ready Venture may grant a client a limited licence to use and share final client-specific deliverables for the purposes stated in the engagement. This does not transfer ownership of Ready Venture's background intellectual property.

You must not copy, resell, reverse engineer, scrape, reproduce or commercially exploit Ready Venture's software, hidden prompts, non-public scoring weights, internal routing logic, templates or confidential materials except as expressly permitted in writing.

13. Client materials and confidentiality

You retain your rights in materials you lawfully provide to Ready Venture. You grant Ready Venture the rights reasonably necessary to receive, store, analyse, reproduce and transform those materials to provide the requested services and operate the agreed workflow.

Confidentiality obligations for paid work are governed by the applicable contract. Ready Venture aims to limit access to client material to authorised personnel, approved service providers and, where consented, approved partners with a legitimate need to know.

14. Accounts and security

Where ReadyVenture OS or another service provides user accounts, you are responsible for keeping credentials secure, using available multi-factor authentication and promptly notifying Ready Venture of suspected unauthorised access.

15. Third-party services and links

The website and services may integrate with or link to third-party providers, including scheduling, payments, CRM, forms, cloud storage, analytics, communications and specialist partner services. Third parties operate under their own terms and privacy practices.

Ready Venture is not responsible for third-party availability, decisions, content or services except to the extent required by law or an express written obligation.

16. Acceptable use

You must not use the website or ReadyVenture OS to break the law, infringe rights, upload malicious code, misrepresent identity or authority, interfere with security, scrape restricted content, attempt to obtain hidden prompts or confidential scoring logic, or use the service to facilitate fraud, misleading fundraising or unlawful financial activity.

17. Suspension and termination

Ready Venture may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect security, comply with law, respond to non-payment, investigate misuse, protect another user's rights or enforce an applicable agreement. For paid services, termination rights are primarily governed by the relevant MSA, SOW or service terms.

18. Disclaimers and liability

Subject to Section 19 and to the extent permitted by applicable law, website information and general Ready Venture content are provided on an “as available” basis and may not be complete, current or suitable for your particular circumstances.

You are responsible for obtaining appropriate independent professional advice before making legal, tax, investment, credit, securities, grant, R&D, foreign-investment, market-entry or other regulated or specialist decisions.

Ready Venture does not guarantee that website content, readiness assessments, scores, checklists, reports, AI-assisted outputs or other general materials will be error-free, complete, suitable for a particular purpose or sufficient for any regulatory, investment, lending, grant, legal, tax or transaction decision.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Ready Venture is not responsible for losses arising solely from reliance on general website content, third-party decisions or services, client-supplied inaccuracies, unauthorised use of accounts, system interruptions, or events outside Ready Venture’s reasonable control.

Liability relating to paid services is governed by the applicable proposal, Statement of Work, Master Services Agreement or other written client agreement, subject always to any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

19. Non-excludable rights and fair contract treatment

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including rights that may apply under the Australian Consumer Law or other mandatory law.

If a provision is unlawful or unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, it is to be read down to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions continue to operate where legally possible.

20. Privacy

Personal information is handled in accordance with the Ready Venture Privacy Policy and any applicable service-specific privacy notice, data-processing addendum or international transfer terms.

21. Governing law and disputes

Subject to any mandatory local law that cannot be excluded, these website Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia and applicable Commonwealth law. The parties submit to the courts with jurisdiction in Queensland for disputes relating to these website Terms.

A paid client agreement may specify a different dispute process, governing law or jurisdiction.

22. Changes and contact

Ready Venture may update these Terms to reflect changes to services, technology, risk controls or law. The current version will show its update date. Material changes will apply prospectively where required.

Questions about these Terms can be submitted through the Contact page on the Ready Venture website.
