Security and fraud

We’ve taken reasonable steps to make the website secure and to protect any information that is transmitted to us through the website. However, KHQ does not warrant that transmission of information via the internet or transmitted to us through this website is totally secure, and you transmit your information at your own risk.

You should be aware of suspicious activity, fraud and scams such as emails or texts with links that purport to be sent from KHQ and that redirect you to a different website or domain, require you to divulge sensitive information, request that you pay money or provide your financial or banking information, or that attach or link to invoices that could be fake.

To minimise the risk of fraud, contact your relevant KHQ contact by telephone and not the purported sender to confirm requests, including to confirm bank account details of any new account nominated for the transfer of funds, before you proceed with a transfer request.

You must not violate or attempt to violate the security of the website.  You must not:

  • access data or any part of the website that is not intended for you or which you are not authorised to access;

  • access, acquire, copy or monitor any content on the website without our authorisation;
  • act in a manner that could introduce viruses, worms, malicious software or other risks to the website, our services, our systems or those of any other person;
  • act in a manner that could cause us to be in breach of any law; or
  • impose an unreasonable load on our systems or networks.

Without limiting any other provision of these Terms, to the extent our liability cannot be excluded and subject to the ACL, any liability incurred by us in relation to your use of this website is limited (at our election) to the re-supply of any goods or services supplied to you by us or payment of the cost off re-suppling those goods and services, and otherwise in aggregate to payment in the amount of $10.
