Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of these terms

By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

2. Website purpose

This website provides general information about MyScience, its educational model, research, school pathways, mentor and facilitator roles, sponsorship and partnership opportunities.

Website content is general information only. It is not legal, financial, employment, child-safety, educational accreditation or other professional advice. Schools and participants should make decisions based on their own circumstances, applicable policies and the specific information supplied by MyScience for a confirmed program.

3. Expressions of interest and program opportunities

Submitting a form or contacting MyScience is an expression of interest only. It does not create a contract, guarantee a place, confirm a Hub, secure funding, appoint a mentor or facilitator, or commit MyScience to provide a program.

Participation and opportunities may depend on location, school readiness, funding, partner-school fit, facilitator and mentor availability, child-safety and school-access requirements, scheduling, eligibility and MyScience's current delivery capacity.

Any confirmed arrangement may be subject to separate written terms, school approvals, consents, policies, checks, fees, contribution arrangements or agreements.

4. Child safety and school requirements

People participating in school-based activities must comply with applicable law, MyScience requirements, the host school's child-safety and visitor procedures, and any role-specific briefing or clearance requirements. Website information does not replace those requirements.

Do not use this website or a public form to report an immediate safety emergency. Contact the school and appropriate emergency or statutory authority where urgent action is required.

5. Acceptable use

You must not use the website to:

• break any law or infringe another person's rights;
• submit false, misleading, abusive, discriminatory or harmful material;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, forms, systems or data;
• introduce malware, scrape the website at unreasonable scale, disrupt services or bypass security measures;
• impersonate another person or falsely claim authority to act for a school or organisation; or
• collect, publish or misuse information about children or other participants.

6. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, website text, branding, graphics, diagrams, photographs, videos, educational materials and page design are owned by or licensed to MyScience and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may view, print or download website content for personal, school-evaluation or internal non-commercial use. You must not reproduce, adapt, publish, sell, distribute or use MyScience content or branding for another program, commercial purpose or public campaign without prior written permission.

Research papers and third-party publications remain subject to the rights and licence conditions identified by their publishers or rights holders.

7. Images and participant material

Images and participant stories are presented for the purposes of explaining MyScience. They must not be copied, republished, used for facial recognition, used to identify children, or separated from their original context without appropriate permission.

8. Third-party websites and services

The website links to services and websites operated by third parties, including Microsoft Forms, YouTube, research publishers, partner organisations and regulatory bodies. MyScience does not control their availability, security, content or privacy practices and does not endorse every statement or service found on an external site.

You use third-party services subject to their own terms and policies.

9. Accuracy, availability and changes

MyScience aims to keep website information accurate and current, but program details, dates, locations, contribution arrangements, availability and external links may change. Confirm material details directly with MyScience before relying on them.

We may change, suspend or withdraw website content or functionality without notice.

10. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, MyScience excludes liability for loss arising from use of, or reliance on, this website or a linked third-party service. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable consumer guarantees.

11. Privacy

Personal information submitted through the website or linked forms is handled as described in the Privacy Policy. Do not submit information about another person unless you are authorised to do so.
