Liability will be for only the price of the requested transaction. Under normal circumstance, all orders will be processed regardless of apparently missing address information.

QiQ Communications PTY LTD, trading as Docsaway assumes the user is aware of the importance of an accurate address and the use of any postal codes that are available, and is therefore accepting the risk of no delivery.
- Documents which get returned to Docsaway due to incorrect or obsolete address information will be discarded, with no refund. Documents which get lost in the postal system and are never delivered or returned will not be refunded.

Although we do not and cannot review all the messages processed by us, we will not knowingly send text or images of a sexually inappropriate or unlawful nature. We reserve the right to cancel the clients order and refund to their credit card. Liability will be for only the price of the requested transaction. As with all automated processes, we can never guarantee that the content of any document will be monitored by a data processor and therefore can never be responsible for the content of the documents.
