Introduction

Welcome to the Australian Christian Business Directory, operated by Australian Christian Business Awards (ACBA) ("we", "us", "our").
By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use this Directory.
1. Purpose of the Directory
The ACBA Business Directory exists to provide a platform that connects users with businesses that identify as Christian or align with Christian values.
We aim to create visibility, connection, and community within the Christian business space; however, we do not act as a broker, agent, or representative of any listed business.
2. Our Values & Listing Approach
ACBA is a faith-based platform, and we intentionally seek to feature businesses that profess Christian beliefs or demonstrate alignment with Christian values such as integrity, honesty, and service.
While we make reasonable efforts to list businesses that reflect these values, we do not:
- conduct formal background checks or ongoing monitoring;
- guarantee the faith practices, conduct, or integrity of any business;
- provide certification, endorsement, or verification of any claims made by listed businesses.
All listings are based on information provided by the businesses themselves.
3. Independent Businesses
All businesses listed in this Directory are independent third parties. ACBA:
- does not own, operate, or control any listed business;
- is not involved in the delivery of their services or products;
- does not manage or oversee their business practices.
Each business is solely responsible for:
- their conduct;
- their services and products;
- customer interactions and outcomes.
4. No Endorsement or Guarantee
Inclusion in this Directory does not constitute:
- endorsement;
- accreditation;
- certification;
- guarantee of quality, safety, or outcomes.
ACBA makes no representation or warranty regarding:
- the accuracy of business claims;
- the quality of services or products;
- the reliability, professionalism, or results of any business.
5. Use at Your Own Discretion
Any decision to engage with a business listed in this Directory is made at your own discretion and risk.
You are responsible for conducting your own due diligence before:
- entering into agreements;
- making payments;
- relying on services or advice.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ACBA is not liable for:
- any loss or damage (direct or indirect);
- poor workmanship or unsatisfactory services;
- misrepresentation by a listed business;
- financial loss, personal injury, or damages;
- disputes between users and businesses.
This applies to all interactions, transactions, and outcomes resulting from use of the Directory.
7. No Responsibility for Disputes
ACBA is not responsible for mediating, resolving, or participating in disputes between users and listed businesses.
All disputes must be resolved directly with the business involved.
8. Accuracy of Information
While we aim to keep listings up to date, we do not guarantee that:
- information is accurate, complete, or current;
- business details, credentials, or claims are verified.
Businesses are responsible for maintaining their own listing information.
9. Right to Remove Listings
ACBA reserves the right to:
- approve or decline any listing;
- remove or modify listings at any time;
- take action where a listing is inconsistent with our values or standards.
This is at our sole discretion and without obligation to provide reason.
