Purchasing an Ethical Resources product does not transfer ownership of its content, design, structure, branding or intellectual property.
A purchase provides only the permission described in the relevant Etsy listing, product instructions or accompanying licence. Unless the applicable licence expressly states otherwise, purchased resources must not be resold, shared publicly, uploaded to another platform, distributed to other businesses or professionals, or modified and presented as a new product.
This website may contain links to Etsy, government agencies, professional bodies, research publications and other external websites.
External links are provided for convenience and further information. Ethical Resources does not control external websites and cannot guarantee their accuracy, availability, security or continued suitability.
The inclusion of an external link does not necessarily represent endorsement of every statement, product, service or practice associated with that website. You should review the terms, privacy practices and relevant information of an external provider before relying on it or providing personal information.
Links to the ModernBusinessEthics Etsy shop take you to a platform operated by Etsy.
Product listings, purchasing, payment processing, digital delivery and certain customer service processes are managed through Etsy. Etsy’s own terms and privacy practices apply when you use that platform.
Ethical Resources is not responsible for interruptions, technical problems or account restrictions occurring within the Etsy platform. Questions about the content of an Ethical Resources product may still be directed to Ethical Resources through the available contact details.
Ethical Resources aims to maintain a useful and accessible website but does not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from technical errors.
Access may occasionally be restricted because of maintenance, security concerns, hosting problems, technical changes or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Ethical Resources.
You are responsible for using appropriate security measures when accessing websites, downloading files or following external links.
The collection and handling of personal information through this website are explained in the Ethical Resources Privacy Policy.
Please do not send client records, case notes, health information, identifying details, confidential documents or sensitive information about another person through the website contact form or by email.
When contacting Ethical Resources about AI use in your practice or business, describe your needs in general terms without including unnecessary personal or confidential information.
To the extent permitted by law, Ethical Resources is not responsible for loss, damage, cost or other consequences arising solely from access to, use of or inability to use this website.
Nothing in these Website Terms of Use is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any right, guarantee or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable legislation.
Ethical Resources may update these Website Terms of Use when the website, resources, business practices or applicable requirements change.
The information provided by Ethical Resources is intended for general educational purposes.
This includes website articles, downloadable resources, courses, checklists, decision trees, assessment tools, examples, product descriptions and other published material.
The information is designed to improve awareness, encourage careful questioning and support more informed professional and business decisions. It is not intended to provide an individual determination about whether a particular AI use is lawful, confidential, secure, ethical or professionally appropriate.
Ethical Resources content does not constitute legal advice, privacy advice, cybersecurity advice, financial advice, medical or clinical advice, regulatory advice, professional supervision or advice tailored to a particular person, organisation or situation.
Laws, professional responsibilities and organisational requirements can differ according to the jurisdiction, industry, profession, workplace, technology, information and intended use involved.
You should seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional when a decision may affect legal obligations, privacy, cybersecurity, professional registration, insurance, contractual responsibilities, safety, health, finances or another person’s rights.
Accessing this website, reading an article, downloading or purchasing a resource, joining a mailing list or sending a general enquiry does not create a legal, consulting, supervisory, clinical, fiduciary or other professional advisory relationship with Ethical Resources.
General information received in response to an enquiry should not be treated as individual professional advice unless a separate service and its terms have been expressly agreed upon.
Ethical Resources resources can help users identify concerns and consider relevant questions, but they cannot guarantee compliance with legislation, professional codes, privacy requirements, workplace policies, insurance conditions or contractual obligations.
Completing a checklist, decision tree, course or risk assessment does not automatically mean that an AI use is safe, lawful, confidential or appropriate.
Responsibility for the final decision remains with the individual professional, business or organisation using the information.
Ethical Resources takes reasonable care when researching, preparing and reviewing educational material. However, artificial intelligence, privacy expectations, professional guidance, legislation and technology can change quickly.
Information may become outdated after publication. Ethical Resources does not guarantee that every page, article or resource will always be complete, current or free from error.
Information that may influence an important decision should be checked against current legislation, official guidance, professional requirements and appropriate specialist advice.
Artificial intelligence can produce information that appears confident and persuasive while being incomplete, biased, outdated or incorrect. It may misinterpret instructions, omit important context or produce references that do not exist.
Ethical Resources material should not be interpreted as a general endorsement of any particular AI product or system. The suitability of an AI tool depends on the task, information, provider, settings, data practices, possible consequences and level of human oversight involved.
Users remain responsible for deciding whether a tool is suitable, verifying important outputs and ensuring that a knowledgeable person has the authority to correct or reject the result.
Ethical Resources educational material does not provide permission to enter personal, sensitive or confidential information into an AI system.
Removing a name does not necessarily make information anonymous. A person may still be identifiable from a combination of details such as age, occupation, location, health history, family circumstances or distinctive events.
Before entering information into an AI system, users should consider the complete context, their authority to use the information, the provider’s data practices and whether the task can be completed with fictional, generalised or less sensitive material.
Examples, fictional scenarios and practice dilemmas are provided to illustrate general concepts. They cannot represent every profession, workplace, jurisdiction or possible circumstance.
A similarity between an example and a real situation does not mean that the same response or outcome will necessarily be appropriate. Users must consider the specific facts, risks, obligations and people involved in their own situation.
Ethical Resources does not guarantee that using its information or resources will prevent mistakes, privacy breaches, inaccurate outputs, professional concerns, financial loss or other adverse outcomes.
The resources are intended to support more thoughtful decision making. They do not eliminate uncertainty or replace appropriate governance, professional judgement, verification, consultation or specialist advice.
Ethical Resources remains responsible for the material it publishes. If a meaningful error, outdated statement or other concern is identified, the matter will be considered and reasonable steps may be taken to correct, clarify, update or remove the relevant content.
