Terms and Conditions of Hire and Recording Services

1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions apply to all bookings, hire items, audio guestbook services, recording services, styling services, delivery services, digital file delivery, keepsake preparation and related services provided by Memory Line.

By making a booking, paying the required booking deposit, signing a booking form, accepting a quote, using Memory Line’s services, or otherwise confirming a booking in writing, the customer agrees to these Terms and Conditions.

Memory Line provides services connected with weddings, memorials, family stories, private events, milestone occasions, corporate events and personal voice preservation. These services may involve personal memories, voice recordings, private messages and emotionally significant events. Memory Line will provide services with care, professionalism and respect, while also requiring customers to meet their responsibilities under these Terms.

2. Business Details

Memory Line operates as a partnership business in South Australia.

In these Terms:

  • “Memory Line”, “we”, “us” or “our” means the Memory Line partnership, its partners, staff, contractors, agents and representatives

  • “customer”, “client”, “you” or “your” means the person, couple, family, organisation, venue or entity making the booking

  • “event” means the wedding, party, memorial, celebration, corporate event, private session or other occasion for which services are booked

  • “services” means any hire, styling, recording, editing, delivery, setup, collection or keepsake service provided by Memory Line

  • “hire items” means any physical items supplied by Memory Line, including phones, audio guestbooks, telephone boxes, signage, stands, plinths, furniture, backdrops, decor, florals, carts, props, cables, accessories and related equipment

3. Relationship With Other Policies

These Terms should be read together with Memory Line’s:

  • Customer Service Policy

  • Complaint and Dispute Resolution Policy

  • Privacy and Recordings Policy

  • Refund and Cancellation Policy

  • Safety and Venue Requirements

  • Damage, Loss and Bond Policy, if separate

  • any quote, invoice, booking confirmation or written agreement issued to the customer

If there is inconsistency between these Terms and another Memory Line policy, these Terms apply unless Memory Line confirms otherwise in writing.

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights the customer has under Australian Consumer Law.

4. Australian Consumer Law

Memory Line will provide services with due care and skill, will aim to ensure services are fit for any purpose made known to Memory Line, and will provide services within agreed or reasonable timeframes.

If Memory Line does not meet a consumer guarantee under Australian Consumer Law, the customer may be entitled to a remedy. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • fixing the issue

  • re-performing part of the service

  • replacing or re-delivering a file

  • re-editing audio

  • providing a partial refund

  • providing a full refund where legally required

  • allowing cancellation where the failure is major

  • another appropriate remedy

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any non-excludable rights or remedies the customer may have under Australian Consumer Law.

5. Booking Process

A booking is not confirmed until:

  • Memory Line accepts the booking in writing

  • the customer pays the required 20% booking deposit

  • the customer provides the information reasonably required to secure the booking

  • Memory Line issues a booking confirmation, invoice or other written acceptance

The 20% booking deposit is calculated on the total quoted booking price and forms part of the total amount payable. It is not an additional charge.

Payment of the deposit allows Memory Line to reserve the customer’s date, allocate equipment and styling items, decline other bookings where necessary, begin administration and planning, and allocate time to the booking.

A date is not considered secured merely because a quote or enquiry has been issued. The booking is only secured once the required deposit has been received and Memory Line has confirmed the booking in writing.

For bookings made 14 days or less before the event or scheduled service date, the full booking amount is payable at the time of booking unless Memory Line agrees otherwise in writing.

Memory Line may decline a booking for any lawful reason, including unavailability, unsuitable venue conditions, safety concerns, service mismatch, unreasonable customer requests, non-payment, prior disputes or operational limitations.

The customer is responsible for checking all booking details, including date, time, location, service inclusions, package selection, delivery details and contact information.

6. Quotes and Pricing

Quotes are valid for the period stated on the quote. If no period is stated, a quote is valid for 14 days from the date issued.

Prices may vary depending on:

  • package selected

  • event date

  • event location

  • delivery distance

  • travel time

  • setup complexity

  • access conditions

  • staffing requirements

  • styling selections

  • custom work

  • file editing requirements

  • public holidays or peak dates

  • special requests

A quote does not secure a booking unless Memory Line confirms this in writing and the required payment is received.

Memory Line may correct obvious pricing or administrative errors where lawful and reasonable.

7. Payment Terms

Payment terms will be stated on the invoice, quote or booking confirmation.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • a 20% booking deposit is required to secure the booking

  • the remaining 80% balance must be paid in full no later than 14 calendar days before the event or scheduled service date

  • for bookings made 14 days or less before the event or scheduled service date, 100% of the booking price is payable at the time of booking

  • all required payments must be cleared by the applicable due date

  • Memory Line may pause preparation, custom work, delivery, setup, recording, editing or file delivery if payment is overdue

  • late or unpaid amounts may result in cancellation of the booking after reasonable notice

If the remaining balance has not been received by the due date, Memory Line will make reasonable efforts to contact the customer and request payment.

If payment remains outstanding after reasonable notice, Memory Line may cancel the booking. Any deposit or other amounts already paid will then be dealt with in accordance with these Terms, Memory Line’s Refund and Cancellation Policy and Australian Consumer Law.

The customer must pay any applicable additional charges for approved changes, extended hire, additional services, waiting time, difficult access, damage, loss, cleaning, travel or other agreed costs.

8. Booking Deposits

Memory Line requires a 20% booking deposit to secure a booking unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The booking deposit:

  • is calculated as 20% of the total quoted booking price

  • is credited toward the total cost of the booking

  • reserves the customer’s event or service date

  • allows Memory Line to reserve equipment, furniture, styling pieces and other resources

  • allows Memory Line to begin administration, planning and preparation

  • may result in Memory Line declining other enquiries for the same date

The remaining 80% of the booking price must be paid no later than 14 calendar days before the event or scheduled service date.

The booking deposit is not automatically non-refundable in all circumstances.

If the customer cancels, Memory Line may retain some or all of the deposit where this is fair, reasonable and lawful and reflects matters such as:

  • work already performed

  • administration already completed

  • time reserved

  • equipment or styling items reserved

  • custom work undertaken

  • supplier or contractor costs incurred

  • non-recoverable expenses

  • loss of a reasonable opportunity to accept another booking

  • the timing of the cancellation

Memory Line will not retain any amount merely as a penalty.

All cancellations and refunds will be considered in accordance with Memory Line’s Refund and Cancellation Policy and Australian Consumer Law.

9. Customer Cancellations

Customer cancellations must be made in writing.

The date Memory Line receives written notice will be treated as the cancellation date.

If the customer cancels, the 20% booking deposit may be retained in whole or in part in accordance with Memory Line’s Refund and Cancellation Policy, provided that the amount retained is fair, reasonable and consistent with Australian Consumer Law.

Where the customer has paid more than the 20% deposit, including where the booking has already been paid in full, Memory Line will determine the amount to be refunded or retained by considering:

  • the timing of the cancellation

  • work already completed

  • administration and planning undertaken

  • equipment and styling items reserved

  • custom work

  • supplier or contractor costs

  • travel or preparation costs

  • whether other bookings were declined

  • whether the event date can reasonably be re-booked

  • the actual financial loss suffered by Memory Line

  • applicable Australian Consumer Law requirements

The customer is not automatically entitled to a refund simply because they change their mind, cancel the event, choose another supplier, find a cheaper option, reduce the event size or decide not to proceed.

Memory Line will not retain more than is fair and reasonable in the circumstances.

10. Rescheduling

The customer may request to reschedule in writing.

Memory Line will make reasonable efforts to transfer the booking to a new date, subject to:

  • availability

  • equipment availability

  • partner, staff or contractor availability

  • venue location

  • access requirements

  • price changes

  • seasonal demand

  • work already completed

  • custom costs already incurred

  • whether the new date is comparable to the original date

A rescheduling fee may apply where additional administration, travel, storage, staffing, supplier or preparation costs are incurred.

If Memory Line is unavailable on the customer’s proposed new date, the matter may be treated as a customer cancellation unless Australian Consumer Law requires a different outcome.

11. Cancellation by Memory Line

Memory Line may cancel a booking if:

  • the customer fails to pay by the due date

  • the customer fails to provide required information

  • the venue is unsafe or inaccessible

  • the service cannot be provided safely

  • weather or site conditions create unacceptable risk

  • the customer or their representative behaves abusively, threateningly or unlawfully

  • the booking involves illegal, unsafe or inappropriate conduct

  • serious illness, emergency, accident or unavoidable operational issue prevents service delivery

  • circumstances outside Memory Line’s reasonable control prevent service delivery

If Memory Line cancels for a reason within Memory Line’s control, Memory Line will offer an appropriate remedy, such as rescheduling, refund, partial refund, credit, substitute service or another fair solution.

If Memory Line cancels because of customer conduct, non-payment, unsafe conditions, inaccurate information or venue access issues, Memory Line may retain reasonable amounts for work performed, costs incurred and loss suffered.

12. Event Date, Times and Hire Period

The hire period, delivery time, setup time, collection time and event times will be confirmed in writing.

The customer must ensure Memory Line has adequate time and access to safely deliver, set up, test, pack down and collect hire items.

Additional charges may apply for:

  • early delivery

  • late collection

  • extended hire

  • after-hours delivery or collection

  • waiting time

  • restricted access

  • difficult parking

  • stairs or long-distance carrying

  • last-minute changes

  • multiple locations

  • delays caused by the customer, venue, guests or third parties

Memory Line may refuse to complete setup if time, access or safety conditions are unreasonable or materially different from what was agreed.

13. Venue Access and Customer Responsibilities

The customer is responsible for confirming venue access and requirements before the event.

The customer must provide accurate information about:

  • venue name and address

  • event date and timing

  • delivery and collection windows

  • loading zones

  • stairs, lifts and access paths

  • floor surfaces

  • outdoor areas

  • wet weather backup

  • power access, if required

  • security requirements

  • venue contact person

  • venue restrictions

  • pack-down and collection rules

If Memory Line cannot deliver, set up, operate or collect items because of inaccurate information, restricted access, unsafe conditions or venue refusal, the customer may remain responsible for amounts due under the booking and any additional costs.

14. Outdoor Events and Weather

The customer must ensure that any outdoor setup location is safe and suitable for Memory Line’s equipment, decor, furniture, signage, phones and audio equipment.

Memory Line may refuse, relocate or modify setup if there is risk from:

  • rain

  • wind

  • extreme heat

  • mud

  • unstable ground

  • uneven surfaces

  • electrical hazards

  • water exposure

  • unsafe guest traffic

  • fire danger

  • poor lighting

  • other unsafe conditions

The customer should arrange a suitable wet weather or backup location for outdoor events.

If unsafe weather or site conditions prevent setup and no suitable alternative is available, Memory Line may treat the booking as affected by circumstances outside its reasonable control. Refunds or credits will be considered under the Refund and Cancellation Policy and Australian Consumer Law.

15. Safety and WHS

Memory Line will take reasonable steps to provide services safely.

The customer must not allow hire items to be misused, moved, climbed on, altered, damaged, overloaded or placed in unsafe conditions.

The customer must ensure that children, guests, venue staff and third parties do not interfere with equipment, cords, signage, props, decor, stands, phones, telephone boxes, furniture or backdrops.

Memory Line may refuse or stop a service if continuing would create a safety risk.

The customer may be responsible for loss, damage, injury, additional costs or service failure caused by unsafe venue conditions, guest behaviour, customer instructions or third-party interference.

16. Hire Items Remain Property of Memory Line

All hire items remain the property of Memory Line unless expressly sold to the customer in writing.

The customer must not:

  • sell, lend, sub-hire or transfer hire items

  • move items without permission

  • alter, paint, tape, glue, nail, staple or attach items without permission

  • expose items to weather or unsafe conditions

  • use items for purposes other than the agreed event

  • allow items to be removed from the venue

  • allow children or guests to climb on or misuse items

  • repair or modify items without permission

The customer is responsible for ensuring hire items are protected during the hire period.

17. Damage, Loss, Theft and Cleaning

This includes damage or loss caused by:

  • weather

  • misuse

  • movement without permission

  • spills

Memory Line may require a bond or security payment for certain bookings or hire items.

A bond may be used to cover:

  • damage

  • loss

  • theft

  • missing items

  • cleaning

  • late return or extended hire

  • unpaid fees

  • collection issues

  • other agreed charges

The bond will be returned within a reasonable time after the event if no deductions apply.

If a deduction is made, Memory Line will provide an explanation and, where possible, supporting evidence.

19. Audio Guestbook Services

Memory Line will take reasonable care to provide prepared and functioning audio guestbook equipment for the event.

However, audio guestbook results may be affected by factors outside Memory Line’s control, including:

  • guests choosing not to leave messages

  • guests not following instructions

  • guests speaking too quietly

  • guests hanging up too soon

  • guests leaving inappropriate or unclear messages

  • venue noise

  • wind

  • weather

  • intoxicated or disruptive guest behaviour

  • equipment being moved or interfered with

  • that every guest will leave a message

  • the number of messages received

  • that every message will be clear

  • that every message will be emotionally meaningful

  • that every message will be suitable for inclusion

  • that recordings will be free from background noise

If an audio issue is caused by a failure within Memory Line’s control, Memory Line will consider an appropriate remedy under Australian Consumer Law.

20. Guest Instructions

Memory Line may provide signage, prompt cards, written instructions or verbal instructions for using the audio guestbook.

The customer is responsible for ensuring the audio guestbook is placed in a suitable area and that guests are encouraged to use it appropriately.

The customer should ensure that the audio guestbook is not placed too close to loudspeakers, dance floors, bars, kitchens, outdoor wind exposure or high-traffic hazards unless agreed by Memory Line.

21. Recording Consent for Events

By booking an audio guestbook service, the customer acknowledges and agrees that:

  • the service involves guests voluntarily leaving recorded voice messages

  • Memory Line may collect, store, edit and deliver those recordings as part of the booked service

  • the final recordings will be provided to the customer as a private keepsake

  • the customer is responsible for ensuring guests are appropriately informed that voice messages are being recorded

  • Memory Line is not required to obtain a separate written consent form from each guest

  • guests who choose to pick up the phone and leave a message after being notified that the service records audio are understood to be voluntarily participating in the recording

  • the customer must notify Memory Line before the event of any privacy, cultural, religious, family, child-safety, legal or venue concerns

Memory Line may provide signage or suggested wording to assist with guest notification.

Recommended signage

“Leave a voice message for the couple. By using this audio guestbook, you understand that your voice message will be recorded and provided privately to the couple as part of their keepsake.”

22. Children and Vulnerable Participants

Where children, young people or vulnerable persons are likely to use the audio guestbook, the customer is responsible for ensuring appropriate parent, guardian or authorised adult consent and supervision where required.

Memory Line will not intentionally conduct a private recording session with a child or vulnerable person without appropriate consent and supervision.

Recordings involving children will not be used for marketing without appropriate permission.

Participants may:

  • pause the session

  • stop the session

  • skip questions

  • choose not to answer

  • ask for a break

  • withdraw from the session before completion

Memory Line is not a counselling, medical, legal, therapeutic or crisis service. If a participant becomes distressed, Memory Line may pause or end the session and suggest that appropriate support be sought.

Private recording sessions may include sensitive personal information. Memory Line will handle such recordings with particular care and confidentiality.

24. Recording Content

Memory Line is not responsible for the content voluntarily recorded by guests or participants.

Recordings may include:

  • emotional messages

  • jokes

  • background conversations

  • unclear audio

  • offensive language

  • private comments

  • inappropriate content

  • accidental recordings

  • silence

Editing may include:

  • organising messages

  • removing accidental recordings

  • reducing unusable sections

Delivery may be delayed by:

  • number of recordings

  • editing complexity

  • file issues

  • customer changes

  • public holidays

  • illness

  • technical problems

  • payment delays

  • missing customer information

If Memory Line fails to deliver within an agreed or reasonable time due to a failure within its control, the customer may be entitled to a remedy under Australian Consumer Law.

26. Customer Responsibility to Download and Back Up Files

Once final files are delivered, the customer is responsible for downloading, saving and backing up them.

Memory Line is not a long-term archive service unless a separate written storage agreement is made.

Memory Line may retain files for a limited period according to its Privacy and Recordings Policy, after which files may be permanently deleted.

The customer should not rely on Memory Line to replace files after the retention period has ended.

27. File Retention

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Memory Line may retain files for the following periods:

  • raw audio files: up to 90 days after final delivery

  • edited final files: up to 12 months after final delivery

  • booking, invoice, complaint and business records: as reasonably required for business, tax, insurance, legal and accounting purposes

After the relevant period, recordings may be permanently deleted.

28. Privacy

Memory Line will handle personal information and recordings according to its Privacy and Recordings Policy.

Memory Line may collect personal information including names, contact details, event information, venue details, payment records, booking notes, voice recordings and personal stories.

Voice recordings may be personal information where a person is identifiable.

Memory Line will use recordings for the purpose of providing the booked service unless separate permission is given for another use.

29. Marketing Permission

Memory Line will not use customer recordings, voice clips, personal stories, names, event details, images or testimonials for marketing without permission.

Marketing may include:

  • website portfolio

  • social media

  • reels

  • paid advertising

  • brochures

  • venue proposals

  • sample clips

  • promotional material

The customer may decline marketing use.

If marketing permission is given and later withdrawn, Memory Line will take reasonable steps to remove content from platforms controlled by Memory Line, but may not be able to remove content already shared, downloaded, copied or republished by others.

30. Setup Photos

Memory Line may take photos or videos of its own setup, hire items, decor, signage and styling for internal records, insurance, quality control, portfolio or marketing purposes.

Memory Line will take reasonable steps to avoid capturing identifiable guests, private details, children or sensitive event information unless permission is given.

The customer must advise Memory Line in writing before the event if they do not want setup photos used publicly.

31. Custom Items and Personalised Work

Custom items may include personalised signs, printed materials, bespoke styling, special decor purchases, edited recordings, custom graphics, special audio preparation, venue-specific setup planning or other customer-specific work.

Once custom work has begun or custom items have been ordered, amounts paid for that work may not be refundable unless required by Australian Consumer Law.

The customer must approve custom details, spelling, dates, names and wording by any required deadline.

Memory Line is not responsible for errors in customer-approved wording, spelling, dates or names unless the error was caused by Memory Line after approval.

32. Package Changes

The customer may request changes to the package or service in writing.

Memory Line may approve or decline changes depending on availability, timing, cost, equipment, staffing, safety, custom work and operational requirements.

Additional charges may apply.

Downgrades close to the event date may not result in a refund where Memory Line has already reserved items, completed work, declined other bookings or incurred costs.

Any changes must be confirmed in writing.

33. Substitutions

Memory Line will make reasonable efforts to provide the agreed hire items, styling items and equipment.

However, Memory Line may substitute items where necessary due to damage, loss, safety concerns, supplier issues, transport issues, weather, availability or circumstances outside its reasonable control.

Any substitute item will be reasonably similar in purpose, quality or style where possible.

If a specific item is essential to the customer, this must be confirmed in writing before booking.

34. Venue Rules and Third-Party Requirements

The customer is responsible for obtaining venue approval for Memory Line’s setup and services.

The customer must ensure the venue allows:

  • delivery and collection

  • audio guestbook placement

  • furniture and decor setup

  • signage

  • backdrops or stands

  • electrical or battery-operated equipment, if relevant

  • agreed access times

Memory Line is not responsible for venue refusal, venue restrictions, venue staff moving items, venue noise, third-party interference or venue rules that prevent the service from being provided as agreed.

35. Conduct of Guests and Third Parties

The customer is responsible for the conduct of guests, children, venue staff, contractors and third parties during the hire period.

The customer must take reasonable steps to ensure that hire items and recording equipment are not misused, damaged, moved, stolen or interfered with.

Memory Line is not responsible for service issues caused by guest behaviour, intoxication, interference, misuse, venue staff movement of equipment or third-party actions outside Memory Line’s control.

36. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Memory Line is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, including emotional distress, loss of enjoyment, reputational loss, loss of opportunity, lost profits or costs arising from circumstances outside Memory Line’s reasonable control.

Memory Line’s liability is not limited where liability cannot legally be excluded or limited, including under Australian Consumer Law.

Where liability can lawfully be limited, Memory Line’s liability may be limited to one or more of the following:

  • re-supply of the service

  • cost of re-supplying the service

  • repair or replacement of a deliverable

  • refund of the amount paid for the affected part of the service

  • another remedy required by law

Because weddings and life events may be emotionally significant, Memory Line will handle issues with care, but cannot guarantee emotional outcomes, guest participation or perfect preservation of every moment.

37. Force Majeure and Events Outside Reasonable Control

Memory Line is not responsible for failure or delay caused by events outside its reasonable control, including:

  • severe weather

  • natural disaster

  • venue closure

  • power failure

  • telecommunications failure

  • third-party interference

  • supplier failure

  • civil emergency

  • fire

  • theft

  • safety risk

  • other events beyond reasonable control

Where such an event occurs, Memory Line will work with the customer to find a fair and practical solution, which may include rescheduling, credit, substitute service, partial refund or cancellation, depending on the circumstances and applicable law.

38. Complaints and Disputes

If the customer is unhappy with a service, they should contact Memory Line as soon as possible.

Complaints will be handled according to Memory Line’s Complaint and Dispute Resolution Policy.

The customer should provide:

  • booking name

  • event date

  • description of the issue

  • supporting photos, videos, screenshots or examples

  • the outcome they are seeking

Memory Line will review the complaint fairly, including the booking terms, communications, evidence, service provided, customer responsibilities, and Australian Consumer Law.

If the complaint cannot be resolved directly, the customer may seek advice from Consumer and Business Services South Australia or another appropriate body.

39. Public Reviews and Social Media

Memory Line respects honest customer feedback.

However, where a complaint involves private recordings, personal information, family details, wedding details or sensitive circumstances, Memory Line will usually respond privately rather than publicly.

Memory Line will not publicly disclose private customer information unless lawful, necessary and proportionate.

Customers are encouraged to contact Memory Line directly so concerns can be reviewed properly.

40. Respectful Communication

Memory Line will communicate with customers respectfully and professionally.

Customers are also expected to communicate respectfully.

Memory Line may set boundaries or limit communication if a customer, guest or representative engages in:

  • abuse

  • threats

  • harassment

  • discrimination

  • repeated hostile messages

  • unsafe conduct

  • defamatory statements

  • unreasonable communication volume

  • sexually inappropriate communication

Where appropriate, Memory Line may require communication to continue in writing only or through one nominated contact person.

41. Intellectual Property

Memory Line retains ownership of its business materials, including templates, prompts, package descriptions, styling concepts, website copy, forms, signage designs, editing processes, graphics, systems, branding and business documents.

The customer owns or controls the personal content they provide, subject to the rights of other people recorded or included.

The customer gives Memory Line permission to use customer-provided content and recordings to provide the booked service.

The customer must not copy, reproduce or commercially use Memory Line’s business materials without written permission.

42. Customer-Supplied Materials

If the customer provides photos, wording, music, poems, documents, scripts, names, signs, logos, images or other material, the customer confirms they have the right to provide and use those materials.

The customer is responsible for ensuring customer-supplied materials do not infringe copyright, privacy, confidentiality, moral rights, cultural rights, venue rules or any other rights.

Memory Line may refuse to use material that appears unlawful, offensive, unsafe, discriminatory, inappropriate or likely to cause harm.

43. Music and Copyright

Memory Line may not be able to use commercial music in edited recordings, videos or public-facing content unless appropriate rights or permissions are obtained.

If the customer requests use of music, the customer may be responsible for obtaining the necessary rights or licences unless Memory Line agrees otherwise in writing.

Memory Line may refuse to use music or other content where copyright permission is unclear.

44. Insurance

Memory Line will aim to maintain appropriate business insurance for its operations.

Insurance does not remove the customer’s responsibilities under these Terms.

The customer should ensure their venue, event and suppliers are appropriately insured.

45. Contractors and Assistants

Memory Line may engage contractors or assistants to help provide services, including delivery, setup, styling, editing, administration or technical support.

Memory Line will take reasonable steps to ensure contractors and assistants act professionally and protect customer privacy.

The customer must treat Memory Line’s partners, contractors and assistants respectfully.

46. Partnership Authority

Memory Line operates as a partnership.

Either partner may communicate with customers and manage bookings in the ordinary course of business.

Significant matters, including major refunds, legal disputes, serious complaints, privacy issues, missing recordings, major damage claims or substantial compensation requests, may require review by both partners before a final decision is made.

47. No Waiver

If Memory Line does not enforce a term immediately, this does not mean Memory Line waives the right to enforce that term later.

Any waiver must be confirmed in writing.

48. Severability

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

49. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of South Australia and the applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Australia.

The parties agree that South Australian courts and tribunals have jurisdiction, subject to any applicable consumer rights or legal requirements.

50. Updates to These Terms

Memory Line may update these Terms from time to time.

The version that applies to a booking will generally be the version provided or available at the time the booking is confirmed, unless:

  • the customer agrees to updated terms

  • a change is required by law

  • a later written agreement is made

51. Acceptance

By confirming a booking, paying the required booking deposit, signing a booking form, accepting a quote, or using Memory Line’s services, the customer confirms that they have read, understood and agreed to these Terms and Conditions.

The customer also confirms that they have authority to make the booking and accept these Terms on behalf of any couple, family, organisation, venue or event host they represent.

52. Contact

Customers may contact Memory Line using the contact details provided on the Memory Line website, booking form, invoice or booking confirmation.

Memory Line will aim to respond with warmth, professionalism and fairness.
