Terms & conditions of use

The big picture
This is the part of the web site where Gecko lets you know what you're allowed to do when you're here. Basically, if you use geckoworld.com.au, you agree not to do anything illegal with it. You also agree that all the content on our site (like names, pictures, and text) belongs to Gecko. You can't use that content or copy it unless you ask us and we say it's OK. You agree that the information you give us is accurate, and that Gecko isn't responsible for information you give us that isn't correct, or for any information you forget to tell us. You also agree that Gecko isn't responsible for anything that happens as a result of using the site, including links to other companies and their products.
There's a lot more "legal talk" that relates to this agreement. Often called "the small print," this sort of language helps define who's responsible for what, and why. It's all here, and kids should ask their parents to review it before allowing them to use the geckoworld.com.au site. You have to be 13 or over to register on our site.
