1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you") and the individual operator of Visaapprovaltimes.com, based in Australia ("we", "us", or "our"), concerning your access to and use of https://visaapprovaltimes.com and any related pages, features, or mobile versions (the "Site").

The Site provides a free platform for registered users to submit, edit, delete, view, and share crowdsourced, user-generated information about Australian visa processing times, including visa subclass details, lodgement dates, decision dates, outcomes, and related notes (the "Services"). All data displayed is user-submitted and unofficial.

By accessing or using the Site or Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not access or use the Site.

We may revise these Terms at any time by updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

The Site is intended for users who are at least 18 years of age. Persons under 18 are not permitted to register or use the Site.
