Disclaimer

This disclaimer applies to racewire.com.au and any related content, including newsletters, social media accounts and downloadable materials (collectively, “Racewire”).

Racewire is published by Racewire Australia Pty Ltd (“we”, “our”, “us”). By using Racewire content you agree to the terms below. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

1. General information only

All content on Racewire is published for general information and entertainment. We take reasonable care to make sure information is accurate at the time of publication, but we make no warranty about its completeness, accuracy, reliability or suitability for any specific purpose.

Anything you do based on Racewire content is at your own risk.

2. Not professional advice

Racewire articles are written by motoring writers and contributors. They are not a substitute for professional advice. Specifically, our content is not:

• Legal advice – for questions about road rules, registration, vehicle modifications, insurance claims or your rights as a consumer, contact a qualified Australian legal professional or your state or territory road authority.
• Financial advice – for questions about car loans, novated leases, depreciation or insurance, contact a licensed Australian financial professional, broker or accountant.
• Mechanical or engineering advice – for any work that affects the safety, roadworthiness or warranty of your vehicle, contact a qualified mechanic, engineer or the vehicle manufacturer.
• Emergency advice – in any roadside emergency, contact 000 or the relevant emergency service first.

3. Vehicle reviews and opinions

Reviews, comparisons, opinions and recommendations on Racewire reflect the personal views and experience of the writer at the time of publication. They are not statements of fact about a vehicle’s overall quality, reliability or fitness for any purpose.

Vehicles, technology and pricing change frequently. Always do your own research, test drive the vehicle yourself and seek independent advice before making a purchase.

4. Specifications, prices and performance figures

Where Racewire publishes vehicle specifications, prices, fuel economy, range, performance figures or similar data, we draw on manufacturer publications, official press materials and independent testing. Even so:

• Specifications and equipment levels can change without notice.
• Recommended retail prices (RRP) differ from drive-away prices, which include on-road costs that vary by state and territory.
• Manufacturer-claimed fuel economy, range and performance figures are tested under standardised conditions and may not reflect real-world results.
• Some figures may be approximations or rounded for readability.

Always confirm current pricing, specifications and inclusions directly with the manufacturer or authorised dealer before purchase.

5. Modifications and aftermarket content

Where Racewire publishes content about modifications, performance upgrades, tuning, lift kits, exhausts or other aftermarket work:

• The content is for general information and inspiration only.
• Modifications may void your manufacturer warranty.
• Modifications may affect your insurance – always notify your insurer before making changes.
• Modifications may make a vehicle unroadworthy or illegal to drive on public roads in your state or territory.
• Some modifications require engineering certification before the vehicle can be legally registered.

Before making any modification, check the rules in your state or territory, consult a qualified automotive engineer and notify your insurer. Racewire is not responsible for any consequences arising from modifications you carry out based on our content.

6. Driving, racing and track content

Racewire publishes content about driving roads, racetracks, motorsport events and high-performance driving. This content is descriptive and journalistic – it is not an instruction to drive in any particular way.

You must always drive in accordance with the road rules in your state or territory. High-speed driving, racing and aggressive driving techniques shown in race or track environments are illegal and dangerous on public roads.

If you are interested in track driving, attend a recognised driver training course, track day or motorsport event organised by an accredited body such as Motorsport Australia.

7. External links

Racewire contains links to third-party websites, products and services for your convenience or as references.

We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, privacy practices, security or availability. A link to another website is not an endorsement of its content, products or services.

8. Affiliate links, sponsored content and advertising

Racewire may include affiliate links – links to products or services where we earn a commission if you make a purchase. Affiliate links do not affect the price you pay, and we only link to products we believe are relevant to our readers.

Racewire also carries display advertising and sponsored content. Our commitment to readers:

• All sponsored articles, paid placements and commercial partnerships are clearly labelled.
• Advertising does not influence editorial coverage – favourable reviews cannot be purchased.
• We follow the Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA) Code of Ethics and the AANA Distinguishable Advertising Code.
