Terms of Use

Last updated 12 November 2026

These terms explain how bushDETS works and what we expect from members. By creating an account you agree to them.

Who we are

bushDETS (“we”, “us”) is a community introduction service based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, for people across Australia. For help with the app or to report something, email support@bushdets.com. For anything else, including questions about these documents, email info@bushdets.com.

What bushDETS is

bushDETS is a free introduction service that helps people find others who have what they need and need what they have. bushDETS facilitates introductions; it does not process money, issue trade credits, guarantee exchanges or determine tax obligations. Barter and business transactions can have tax consequences. Users are responsible for complying with relevant laws and arranging trades safely.

bushDETS is not a party to any exchange between members. We do not guarantee that any member, listing or exchange is genuine, safe, lawful, or of any particular value or quality.

Eligibility and accounts

You must be 18 or older. You are responsible for your account and for the information you provide. You must follow the Community Guidelines.

Your content

You keep ownership of what you post. You give bushDETS permission to store and display it to other members to operate the service (for BLOOMscroll posts, only if you choose to make them public). You promise you have the right to share it, including any photos, and that it is lawful.

Taxes and laws

Exchanges of goods or services, especially in the course of a business, can have income tax, GST and other legal consequences even when no money changes hands. bushDETS does not provide tax or legal advice and does not decide how any exchange is treated. Please check with the Australian Taxation Office or a qualified adviser.

Moderation and ending your account

We may remove content, suspend or ban accounts that break these terms or the Community Guidelines. You can delete your account at any time in Settings.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law (including the Australian Consumer Law, which cannot be excluded), bushDETS is provided as is and is not liable for losses arising from dealings between members.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we make an important change we will tell you in the app. If you keep using bushDETS after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and you agree to the courts of Victoria for any dispute about them, without limiting any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
