Terms

01About these terms

These terms govern your use of onhollies (the “Service”), available at onhollies.com.au. The Service is operated by Jesse Paul Lawson (ABN 74 487 718 335), trading as onhollies (“we”, “us”, or “the operator”). By using the Service, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Service.

02What onhollies provides

onhollies displays school holiday, public holiday, show day, and related date information for Australian states and territories. Through Plan, it also suggests places to go and things to do in the holidays, in Australia and overseas, with what’s on, how to get there, seasons and weather, maps, and the cellar doors and taprooms families can visit. The Service is free. It is provided for general information and planning purposes only, and it isn’t professional advice of any kind.

03Accuracy of information

We take care to source date information from official state and territory government sources, and to calculate holiday periods accurately from published school term dates. Plan’s guides come from the pages of the operators, park managers, councils and other organisations involved, as we last read them (our Sources page says how). However:

• Information is provided in good faith and may contain errors or omissions, or become out of date.
• Governments, operators and park managers may change, add, or remove dates, prices, opening hours, seasons, bookings and rules at any time, including at short notice.
• School holiday dates are for government schools. Catholic and independent schools can set different dates.
• Some dates are provisional or subject to confirmation by the relevant authority, and some event dates are approximate.
• What a place or activity suits (ages, abilities, access for prams or wheelchairs) is a general guide, and every family is different.
• Drive and flight times are estimates. They don’t allow for traffic, roadworks, weather, closures or connections, and roads in the north can close in the wet season.
• Places on our maps are shown at approximate locations.

You should not rely solely on onhollies for decisions that matter. Always verify dates with your school or the relevant government authority, and everything else with the operator or managing body, before making travel bookings, financial commitments, or other plans that depend on them. onhollies is not a substitute for official sources.

04Plan and the place guides

Plan suggests places to go and things to do with children. It is general information, drawn from what operators, park managers, councils and other organisations publish, as we last read their pages. Prices, opening hours, seasons, closures, bookings and conditions change, often at short notice, and operators can change or cancel what they offer. Before you go, check with the operator or the managing body, using the links we give. Whether a place or activity suits your family, including its ages, abilities and budget, is your decision.

05Safety and the outdoors

Many of the things we suggest are outdoors: water, tides, heat, wildlife and remote roads. We pass on some of the warnings, rules and conditions that park managers and operators publish, and link to their pages, but what we show is not a complete list, and conditions change. We don’t inspect places or activities, or check that they are safe. Before you go, read the manager’s or operator’s own page and any alerts, and check the weather and warnings. You are responsible for your own and your family’s safety, and for following signs, closures and the directions of rangers and staff.

06Businesses we mention

We don’t run, sell or vouch for any business, tour, venue or event we mention, and any booking or payment is between you and them, on their terms. We aren’t paid by the businesses we mention, and we don’t earn anything from the links we give. Venues that serve alcohol do so under their own licences and rules, including their rules for children.

07First Nations places

Many of the places we suggest are on the Country of First Nations peoples, and some come with their custodians’ requests of visitors, such as not climbing or not photographing a site. Please respect them, and follow the signs and the directions of custodians, guides and park staff.

08Travel overseas

Some of the places we suggest are overseas. Before you go, read the Australian Government’s travel advice for the country at smartraveller.gov.au, check its entry rules (passports, visas and health requirements), and follow its local laws. Prices for places overseas are in the local currency.

09Weather and seasons

Some parts of the Service show current weather, supplied by a third-party service (Open-Meteo), and a place’s seasonal averages, from the Bureau of Meteorology’s station records. Weather is shown as a convenience, is indicative only, and may be unavailable or inaccurate. Averages describe past years, not what a given day will bring. Neither is a forecast to rely on for planning: check the Bureau’s forecasts and warnings before you go. Your use of them is subject to the “no warranties” and liability terms below.

10No warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including as to accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator will not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, or expense (including missed bookings, financial loss, or disrupted plans) arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Service or the information it contains, or from your visit to any place, activity, business or event it mentions.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where our liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, our liability is limited to re-supplying the relevant information or the reasonable cost of doing so.

12Acceptable use

You may use the Service to view and look up its information for your own personal or business planning. This does not restrict legitimate search-engine indexing carried out in accordance with our robots.txt. You must not:

• use automated means (scraping, crawlers, bots) to extract data from the Service in bulk;
• copy, reproduce, or republish a substantial part of the compiled dataset, whether or not for commercial purposes; or
• present the Service’s information as your own or in a way that suggests official endorsement.

13Intellectual property

The individual dates shown on onhollies are factual information drawn from government publications and are not owned by us. Photos, map data, quoted words and other material from others belong to their owners, and we use them under licence or with credit, as set out on our Sources page; reusing them needs their permission or licence. The design, layout, code, original written content, and the particular selection and arrangement of information that make up the Service are the property of the operator and are protected accordingly. You may use the Service as set out in these terms, but not otherwise.

14Third-party links

The Service links to other websites, including government sources, operators’ and venues’ sites, and Google Maps for directions. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability or privacy practices of those sites, and a link does not imply endorsement.

15Availability

We may change, suspend, or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, at any time without notice. We don’t guarantee the Service will be available, uninterrupted, or error-free.

16Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page, with the “last updated” date shown above. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms.

17Severability

If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will be removed and the rest will continue to apply.

18Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that state.
