Welcome to The-Best. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our website and services. By accessing or using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

Financial Disclaimer

The information provided on The-Best is general in nature and for educational purposes only. Any information provided does not consider the personal financial circumstances of readers, such as individual objectives, financial situation, or needs. We do not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) and therefore do not offer financial advice, brokerage, or advisory services. Your financial situation is unique, and the products and services we review may not be right for your circumstances. The-Best encourages readers to seek independent expert advice in relation to their own financial circumstances before making any financial decisions.

Use of Information

Information of products and services may have changed since the time of publication. The-Best provides an information service. It is not a product issuer or provider. In providing information about financial or insurance products, The-Best is not making any suggestion or recommendation about a particular product. It is important to check any product or service information directly with the provider. Consider the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), Financial Services Guide (FSG), Target Market Determination (TMD), and other applicable product documentation before making a decision to purchase or apply for a financial or insurance product. Contact the product issuer directly for a copy of the PDS, TMD, and other relevant documentation. The-Best adheres to strict editorial integrity standards. To the best of our knowledge, all content is accurate as of the date posted, though offers contained herein may no longer be available. The-Best cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of this website. The-Best accepts no responsibility to update any person regarding any inaccuracy, omission or change in information in our stories or any other information made available to a person, nor any obligation to furnish the person with any further information. The opinions expressed are the author’s alone and have not been provided, approved, or otherwise endorsed by our partners.

Advertiser Disclosure

The-Best maintains its commitment to editorial integrity and transparency. Our association with some of the companies whose products and services are showcased on this website is solely as affiliates; we do not act on behalf of them. While we receive compensation from some companies featured on our site, it is important to understand that this compensation does not influence our reviews or the objectivity of the information provided, but may affect the placement of products on our site. We are committed to providing unbiased and comprehensive information to help you make informed decisions. The presence of a product on our site is not an endorsement but an opportunity for you to compare your options.

How We Make Money

Our revenue comes from some of the featured products and services through affiliate links, advertisements, and partnerships. This payment comes out of the provider's pocket, and our service is 100% free for you. It is crucial to note that while we may receive compensation when you click on links or apply for products, our content aims to inform rather than sell. We do not receive compensation for every action, and our financial arrangements do not compromise the impartiality of our reviews or educational information. Our goal is to empower you with information, leaving the decision-making entirely in your hands.

Promotional Content

We strictly provide factual information about financial products without giving opinions or offering advice on their suitability. Any decision to click on links to products or services, or to purchase or enquire about them, should be made after independent evaluation and consultation with a professional adviser. In comparing various financial products and services, we are unable to compare every provider in the market so our rankings do not constitute a comprehensive review of a particular sector. While we do go to great lengths to ensure our ranking criteria matches the concerns of consumers, we cannot guarantee that every relevant feature of a financial product will be reviewed.

Disclaimer of Liability

The-Best shall not be liable for any losses or damages arising from the use of, or reliance on, the information on our website. While we strive to ensure the accuracy of the information, we cannot guarantee that all content is up-to-date or comprehensive.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of Australia. The courts of Australia have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising from or related to the use of The-Best.

Changes to Terms and Conditions

We reserve the right to modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. Your continued use of the website after such changes indicates your acceptance of the new terms.
