These are the necessary legal requirements which needs to be mentioned, and they are no different to many other reunion sites overseas. Here are just a few quick rules which we expect everyone to abide by. The following terms apply to you and your use of the Oz Reunion web site. You are required to agree to these terms to have a listing on this web site. Violation of these terms may lead to termination of your listing and exclusion from future use of the service.

1. Oz Reunion is an Internet service (the Service) (hereafter "we", "our" or "us"). "Listing" or "valid listing" means any information sent to Oz Reunion by you, adheres to all terms of this service, which is posted on the web site at www.ozreunion.com.au, www.reunion.com.au, www.adoption.com.au or any other web server which may be clicked through to. "Content" means the information which has been posted on the web site at ozreunion.com.au or any other web server which may be clicked through to. "You" or "your" or "user" means a person aged 18 or over, user of the Service for itself and you as parent or guardian for any minor which you allow to access the Service, for whom you will be held strictly responsible.
2. You must be 18 years or older to submit a listing or submission, and you take full responsibility for the content you provide to Oz Reunion. Oz Reunion and its third party suppliers makes no claim concerning the suitability, reliability or accuracy of the Content or the service provided on the Service for any purpose.
3. Oz Reunion is not a licensed adoption mediator so we will not under any circumstances contact another person on your behalf for information about an adoption, or mediate any meeting between parties. Please be advised that under certain adoption legislation in Australia, parties are not permitted to have other persons (such as a friend or partner), other than a licensed mediator, make arrangements for or contact with another party to the adoption on their behalf.
4. Oz Reunion is currently not an "information source" for the purposes of the Adoption Act 2000 (NSW) and the Adoption Regulation 2003 (NSW). This impacts on the ability of Oz Reunion to obtain, on behalf of subscribers, information concerning NSW adoptions held by information sources in NSW (such as the Department of Family and Community Services, private adoption service providers, the Registry Births Deaths and Marriages and hospitals). Oz Reunion notes that subscribers may be able to obtain additional information about a NSW adoption by contacting the NSW Department of Family and Community Services directly via it's Adoption Information Unit on 1300 799 023.
