About us

Terms of use

What we do, and what's between you and the arborist.

These terms apply when you use this site or send a tree job through its form, and they set out what Nearby Arborist does and what's left to the arborist.

Who these terms are with

These terms are between you and Nearby Arborist, and where they say "we" or "us", they mean Nearby Arborist. Using the site or sending a job through the form means you accept them.

Who runs this site

Nearby Arborist runs this site. We're a referral service: we pass tree jobs to local arborists. We don't do tree work, quote it or employ arborists.

Your contact details

When an arborist takes your job, we sell your contact details for that job to that arborist, so they can get in touch and quote.

The arborist's part

The arborist who takes your job runs their own business. They agree the price and the work with you directly, and any agreement for the work is between you and them.

Our information pages

Guides and permit pages are general information, written from the sources listed on each page. They aren't legal advice, and they can't tell you about your particular tree. Check with your council before any tree is removed or heavily pruned, and have an arborist look at the tree itself.

Using the form

Send real jobs only, with your own details or details you're allowed to give. By ticking the consent box, you agree to Nearby Arborist sharing your details with a local arborist so they can contact you about the job. The privacy policy explains the rest.

Safety

Nothing on this site is an instruction to fell, climb or cut down a tree. If a tree is touching a street power line, call the electricity network, and 000 if anyone is in danger.

What we can't promise

We don't promise when an arborist will contact you, that one will be available, that a council will approve a permit or that insurance will pay. We show no prices for tree work.

Responsibility and liability

Nothing in these terms takes away your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. As far as the law allows, Nearby Arborist isn't responsible for the quote, advice or work an arborist gives you, since those are matters between you and them.

Victorian law governs these terms, and the Victorian courts hear any dispute about them.

Changes to these terms

Any change to these terms shows in the updated date on this page.

Where this information comes from

Tree rules change, so check with your council before anything is cut. How we write and check these pages.
