Terms of Use
Last updated
These terms cover your use of isdownaustralia.com. The site shows whether popular websites, apps and internet providers are working, based on reports from visitors and on our own checks of the websites.
1. What this site is
isdownaustralia.com is an independent website. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the companies whose services we list, unless a page says so.
Service names, logos and trademarks belong to their owners. We use them only to name the service a page is about.
We cannot fix a service, restore your account or answer questions about your bill. For that, contact the company that runs the service.
2. Status information
The status shown for a service is an estimate. It is built from reports that visitors send, and for websites also from our own automatic checks of whether the site responds.
- Reports can be few, late, or come from one area or one network only.
- A site can answer our checks and still be broken for you, for example after login or in its app.
- Our checks can be blocked by the site. A blocked check is not counted as an outage.
Do not rely on this site for decisions where a wrong status could cause harm or loss. Check the service's own status page or support when it matters.
3. Reports and comments
Problem reports and comments are public. Anyone can read them, and search engines may index them.
When you post, keep it about whether the service works for you. Do not post:
- personal details: your address, phone number, email, account or tracking numbers, passwords;
- links to other websites, ads or offers;
- support phone numbers or "account recovery" contacts, which are almost always scams;
- insults, swearing, threats or hate, or anything unlawful;
- text in a language the site does not use, or the same comment several times.
We review comments and may remove any comment, at any time, without notice. We do not check whether what a comment says is true.
You keep the rights to what you write. By posting, you allow us to show, store and moderate it on this site.
4. Acceptable use
Do not try to change what the site shows by sending fake reports, by sending reports with scripts or bots, or by posting from many accounts or addresses.
Do not attempt to compromise the site, gain unauthorized access to it or the systems behind it, or disrupt it, and do not copy it in bulk with automated tools in a way that loads our servers.
We may block traffic that does any of this.
5. Ads and external links
The site is free to use and is paid for by ads. Ads are marked and come from ad networks or from partners.
Links to other websites, including ads and the official sites of the services we list, lead to sites we do not control. Their own terms and policies apply there.
6. Our content
The text, charts, maps and design of this site are ours unless stated otherwise.
You may link to any page and quote brief parts with a link back to the page. Do not republish the site, its status data or its comments in bulk.
7. Liability
The site and its information are provided as they are. We do not guarantee that they are accurate, complete or current, or that the site will always be available.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for loss or damage that results from using the site or relying on its information.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any right you have, or any liability we have, that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
8. Privacy
How we handle data, including what is stored when you send a report or a comment, is described in the Privacy Policy.
9. Changes
We may update these terms. The date of the latest revision appears at the top of this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
