Legal
Terms
Plain language, and the commercial agreement for paid work is a separate document you will be sent before anything starts.
What this page covers
Use of this website and the free resources on it. Paid work is governed by the written agreement between us, and where the two differ, the agreement wins.
The free resources
The award deadline list, the guides and the glossary are provided free and in good faith. Dates move and organisers change their pages without notice, so confirm every detail on the programme’s own site before you rely on it. We are not liable for an entry missed because a date here was out of date.
You are welcome to use and share the deadline list, including inside your own firm. A link back is appreciated and not required.
What we do not promise
We do not promise you will win, place or be shortlisted. Award outcomes depend on the judges, the field and factors outside anyone’s control. Figures on this site that describe the engine, such as claims sourced or claims stopped, are measured from real submissions run through it. The win rate quoted on the home page is the founder’s own record of submissions written by hand before Probative existed, and it is not a prediction of your result.
Your material and your submission
You keep ownership of everything you send us and of the finished submission. You review it, you edit it and you lodge it yourself. What is submitted in your firm’s name is your firm’s responsibility.
Accuracy
We take real care that nothing in a submission goes beyond what your material supports, and the engine is built to enforce that. It remains your responsibility to check the finished entry before you lodge it.
Governing law
Victoria, Australia.
