1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using ntbugbusters.com.au (the “Website”) or submitting a service enquiry, quote request, or service interest through our platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). Please read these Terms carefully before using the Website. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Website.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”, or “your”) and Global Genie Marketing and IT Services Pty Ltd (ABN 28 676 213 844), trading as NT Bug Busters (“we”, “us”, or “our”).
2. About Our Platform
ntbugbusters.com.au is a digital lead generation and referral platform for pest control services. Our role is limited to:
• Receiving and processing service enquiries, quote requests, and expressions of service interest from residential and commercial users across the Northern Territory
• Passing your enquiry and contact information to our associated independent licensed pest control Service Providers for follow-up
• Facilitating the initial connection between users and qualified local pest control professionals
We do not accept bookings, process payments, schedule appointments, or carry out pest control services ourselves. All pest control treatments are carried out exclusively by our independent associated Service Providers. This Website is a digital asset of Global Genie Marketing and IT Services Pty Ltd.
3. How Enquiries and Quote Requests Work
3.1 Submitting an Enquiry or Quote Request
When you submit a service enquiry, quote request, or expression of service interest through our Website, you are not placing a booking or entering into a service contract with us. Your submission — including your contact information, service address, property type, pest concern, and any special instructions — will be forwarded to one or more of our associated local Service Providers who operate in your area.
3.2 Service Provider Follow-Up
Once your enquiry is forwarded, a Service Provider or their representative will contact you directly to:
• Discuss your pest control needs and assess the nature of the infestation
• Provide you with a quote or pricing estimate for the relevant service
• Arrange a suitable appointment time if you wish to proceed
• Advise on any preparation required before the treatment
• Address any site-specific or property-specific considerations
Any agreement to proceed with a pest control service, including pricing, scheduling, and payment arrangements, is made directly between you and the Service Provider. NT Bug Busters is not a party to that agreement.
3.3 No Guarantee of Response or Service
While we endeavour to forward your enquiry to a suitable Service Provider promptly, we cannot guarantee that a Service Provider will be available in your area, will respond within a specific timeframe, or will be able to fulfil your service request. Submission of an enquiry through our Website does not guarantee that you will receive a quote or that any pest control service will be carried out.
3.4 Accuracy of Information
You are responsible for ensuring all information submitted through our Website is accurate, complete, and up to date. This includes your contact details, service address, property type, and details of the pest concern. We accept no liability for failure to connect you with a Service Provider arising from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by you.
4. Role of Service Providers
Our associated Service Providers are independent, licensed pest control operators. By using our Website, you acknowledge and agree that:
• Our Service Providers are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all required licences, permits, certifications, and regulatory approvals necessary to carry out pest control treatments in the Northern Territory, including any licence required under the Pest Management Act 2001 (NT) or any successor legislation
• Our Service Providers are responsible for complying with all applicable workplace health and safety laws, environmental regulations, and chemical handling requirements
• Our Service Providers operate independently of Global Genie Marketing and IT Services Pty Ltd, and we do not direct, supervise, or control the manner in which they deliver their services
• All contractual, payment, and service arrangements are made directly between you and the Service Provider once contact is established
• NT Bug Busters is not responsible for the quality, outcome, pricing, or conduct of any pest control service delivered by a Service Provider
5. Licences, Permits, and Regulatory Compliance
Pest control treatments in the Northern Territory are regulated activities. Pest control operators are required to hold a valid pest management licence under the Pest Management Act 2001 (NT). Our Service Providers are independently responsible for:
• Holding and maintaining a current pest management licence issued by the relevant Northern Territory authority
• Complying with all requirements under the Pest Management Act 2001 (NT), the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994 (Cth), and all other applicable legislation
• The safe handling, use, storage, and disposal of all pesticides and chemical treatments in accordance with Australian standards and product label requirements
• Providing appropriate safety data sheets and hazard information to users where required
We do not represent or warrant that any specific Service Provider holds any particular licence or certification at any given time. Users are encouraged to make independent enquiries to verify a Service Provider’s credentials before allowing access to their property or proceeding with any service.
6. No Payment Processing
NT Bug Busters does not collect, process, or hold any payments on behalf of users or Service Providers. All pricing, invoicing, and payment arrangements for pest control services are managed entirely between you and the relevant Service Provider. We have no liability in relation to any payment dispute, pricing disagreement, or financial transaction between you and a Service Provider.
7. Your Obligations When Using This Website
When submitting an enquiry or quote request through our Website, you agree to:

• Not submit false, misleading, or fraudulent enquiries
• Not use the Website for any unlawful purpose or in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair the Website
• Not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Website or its systems
If you proceed with a pest control service following contact from a Service Provider, you acknowledge that any access to your property, post-treatment requirements, and health and safety obligations are matters between you and the Service Provider directly.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Global Genie Marketing and IT Services Pty Ltd expressly excludes all liability for:

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy that applies under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (including the Australian Consumer Law) and that cannot be excluded by agreement. Where we are unable to exclude liability, our liability is limited to the re-supply of the referral or enquiry forwarding service, at our discretion.
