If you represent a commercial entity or you are involved in Freelance work wishing to solicit Freedom Internet Group as a potential client for your products and / or services or you are wishing to exchange links with Freedom Internet Group, please read the following policies as these may affect you:

Outsourcing Policy

Freedom Internet Group has adopted the policy of NOT outsourcing any work to any organisation, entity or individual outside of Australia or to use any organisation, entity or individual that outsources the tasks it may be contracted to do on behalf of Freedom Internet Group to any organisation, entity or individual outside of Australia.

The reason Freedom Internet Group has adopted this policy is simple - we believe in the Australian Economy and keeping jobs in Australia. This is not a "White Australia" policy or a racist statement. We will be happy to discuss and possibly do business with any person who holds Australian Citizenship and / or operates an Australian registered organisation which is exempt from this policy.

Freedom Internet Group reserves the right to alter this policy on a case by case basis under its own terms and conditions and provided that any such dealings are initiated by Freedom Internet Group in the first instance.

This policy does not apply to individuals who hold Australian citizenship. It also does not apply to organisations which are registered in Australia with their base of operations and primary work being carried out in Australia provided the tasks contracted to the the organisation are carried out by employees and / or associated contractors who would be exempt from this policy if they were operating as an individual on a Freelance basis.

This policy affects all web development, design and hosting services including but not limited to Search Engine Optimisation and Marketing, Graphic Design, web site design and application development.

Any attempts to solicit these products or services on Freedom Internet Group will be ignored and any emails whether sent directly via email or via the contact form on this site or other means shall be deleted. Telephone calls will be terminated immediately and telephone messages will be deleted instantly.

Link Exchange Requests

Freedom Internet Group has developed a link exhange request form. The form collects all necessary information and allows for various forms of link exchanges including banners and HTML submission. It also checks all forms of contact information and validates this.

All requests for link exchanges must be submitted via this method unless formally requested in writing and sent via post or fax.

All link exhange requests not made through the above methods shall be ignored and treated as possible spamming.

A Link Exchange Requests will only be honoured if it passes Freedom Internet Group's link validation process and no details are highlighted in the Blacklist logs maintained by Freedom Internet Group. The Blacklist log is a log of persistent link submitters who try to create links for web sites such as porn, gambling, terrorism, pharmaceuticals, hacking (including password exchanged and software used for hacking or containing access to software that has been hacked or would be otherwise be illegal to sell on the open market without violating copyright and license agreements), money making schemes (pyramid schemes, etc) and Adsense Only sites (sites setup to look and act like a site containing only links and advertising for the purpose of either Domain Taste Testing or domain name parking for a period longer than 1 month).

Any persistent attempts to submit any link exchange that matches an item that that would warrant inclusion in the Blacklist will have all details including the contact name, links (outgoing and reciprocal links), IP address and email address added to the Blacklist. Also any attempts to submit a link intended to defame, attack or simply abuse the Freedom Internet Group, its employees and directors, associated contractors and clients shall be considered as unwarranted and added to the Blacklist immediately without question.

A page rank must exist (i.e. if the Google Toolbar Page Rank indicator shows the page to which we are linking does not have a page rank assigned by Google) otherwise it will be subjected to higher scrutiny and may be rejected without further explanation.

The individual submitting the Link Exchange Request should be either directly connected as an employee or the domain name registrant of the web site which will be providing the reciprocal link to Freedom Internet Group. Also the link shown on the Freedom Internet Group Link Exchange must have some connection to the individual submitting the link request.

Link Exchange Requests must be contain a non-free email address. That is you cannot submit a link request using an email account provided by Google (GMail), Hotmail / Live, Yahoo or any other web site that provides free anonymous email services. The link submission form will reject these requests immediately.

Freedom Internet Group reserves the right to accept and refuse link exchange requests based on individual merits and may alter this policy at any stage without notice and without retrospective considerations.
