Use of the Service

We do not give any advice as to the appropriateness or suitability of the Service for you. It is solely your responsibility to ensure that the Service you purchase through this Site meets your requirements. If you are unsure whether you need an ACN, please contact the Australian Securities Investment Commission (ASIC) or your accountant.
Although our team includes accountants and business start-up experts, we do not provide any accounting or legal services as part of the Service. We do not, therefore, give or claim to give, accounting, legal or financial advice.
By using our online company registration application, you warrant that the information you supply is, to the best of your knowledge, accurate and complete.
Neither we (nor any of our authorised representatives) will be liable for any charges or other damages arising in connection with any incorrect information provided by you.
This Site aims to provide you with clear and succinct information. However, if you misinterpret such information, we are not liable in any way for any such misinterpretation. Please contact us if you need to clarify something.
We endeavour to begin working on your company registration application immediately after you have submitted it to us. For this purpose, you authorise us (through our business division companyregistration.com.au) or our nominated representative to act as your registered tax agent, and on your behalf, in your application for an ACN.
Our registered tax agent will communicate with the ASIC on your behalf using both electronic and telephone communications to process your application.
If your application is rejected by ASIC it may be for any number of reasons. These may include (but are not limited to):
1. the information supplied does not match exactly with information ASIC has on record;
2. you have previously had, currently have or have applied for, an ACN in the past; or
3. ASIC is experiencing system processing issues, such as systems downtime or maintenance.
If your application is rejected by ASIC, our registered tax agent will contact ASIC on your behalf and attempt to resolve any application problems that may have arisen. We will then advise you of the reason that your application has been rejected and offer possible solutions where it is practicable to do so. As soon as we have secured your ACN, we will advise you and we will resign as your tax agent
To the extent permitted by law, we do not provide any refund in connection with the Service except:
1. in accordance with the terms of our money-back guarantee; or
2. if you notify us that you would like to withdraw your application before we have initiated the company registration process (for example, if you submit an application to us after 6pm and then cancel it before 8am on the next working day). In such circumstances, we may provide you with a full refund less a $33.85 administration, posting and handling fee. However, the decision of whether to provide you with a refund under such circumstances is entirely at our own discretion.
