JUSTIN MARINER / LEGAL
Terms &
Conditions.
Last updated: 4 November 2026
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of justinmariner.com and the Justin Mariner hotel guide. By accessing or using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the website. Justin Mariner is an independent editorial project and is not the owner, operator, agent or representative of The Star Grand, The Star Gold Coast, any casino, restaurant, hotel, travel provider or support organisation mentioned on the website.
1. About the service
Justin Mariner provides general travel and hospitality information, editorial descriptions, links to external providers, a browser-based stay-planning tool and locally hosted illustrative photographs. The guide is intended to help visitors decide where to research further. It is not a booking engine, travel agency, casino operator, financial service, legal service or responsible-gambling counselling service.
2. Information may change
Room categories, room sizes, facilities, restaurant menus, opening hours, casino access standards, identification requirements, prices, availability, transport, accessibility and health or safety arrangements can change without notice. Information is provided as a guide only. Before travelling or spending money, check the current information with the official hotel, venue or service provider.
3. Bookings and payments
Justin Mariner does not accept hotel reservations, process payments, issue tickets, set rates or guarantee availability. The optional trip planner only creates a date and guest summary in your browser. It does not reserve a room and it does not transmit a confirmed booking to the hotel.
When you follow an external booking link, you contract directly with the relevant provider. That provider’s booking terms, cancellation conditions, taxes, deposits, age rules, identification requirements and privacy policy apply. Justin Mariner is not responsible for a booking, cancellation, charge, refund, no-show, room allocation or dispute between you and an external provider.
4. External websites and links
Links are provided for convenience and may open third-party websites. A link does not mean Justin Mariner endorses every statement, product, service, promotion or opinion on the linked website. We do not control external content, availability, security, accessibility or privacy practices. You access external websites at your own risk and should check their terms before using them.
5. Casino and responsible gambling notice
The casino section describes the real on-site casino at The Star Gold Coast. Casino access is for people aged 18 and over and may require acceptable current photo identification. Venue entry, dress, exclusion, alcohol, gaming and operating conditions are controlled by the venue and applicable law.
Gambling involves risk and is not a way to make money. Set limits, take breaks and never chase losses. If gambling is affecting you or someone you know in Queensland, contact Gambling Help QLD on 1800 858 858 or visit gamblinghelpqld.org.au. Justin Mariner cannot assess a person’s gambling behaviour, arrange self-exclusion or provide crisis support.
6. Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the Justin Mariner name, wordmark, page layout, original editorial copy, interface code and site styling belong to Justin Mariner or its licensors. You may view the website and make a reasonable personal, non-commercial copy for reference. You may not scrape, reproduce, frame, resell, publish, modify, reverse engineer or commercially redistribute substantial portions of the site without written permission.
Property photographs, logos, venue names and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective rights holders. Their inclusion does not grant a licence. If you want to reuse an image, obtain permission from the relevant rights holder first.
7. Acceptable use
You must not use the website to break the law, infringe another person’s rights, interfere with service operation, probe security, introduce malicious code, send unsolicited messages, impersonate Justin Mariner or misrepresent an external provider as being affiliated with Justin Mariner.
8. No warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not promise that the guide will be uninterrupted, error-free, complete, current, compatible with every device, or suitable for a particular trip, budget, accessibility need or personal circumstance.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies a consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law.
9. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Justin Mariner is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of data, travel disruption, disappointment, personal injury, property damage, gambling loss, booking issue or other loss arising from use of the guide or an external provider. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the extent permitted by law.
10. Privacy and cookies
Our Privacy Policy explains how information is handled. Our Cookie Policy explains browser storage, cookies and similar technologies. By using the website, you acknowledge those documents as part of the information governing your use of the service.
11. Suspension and changes
We may change, suspend or remove pages, features or links at any time. We may update these terms when the service or law changes. The current version is identified by the “Last updated” date above. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated terms to the extent permitted by law.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws applicable in Queensland, Australia, unless mandatory law in your place of residence requires otherwise. Any dispute should first be raised with us so the parties can try to resolve it informally. Nothing here removes a right to contact a regulator or bring a claim that cannot lawfully be waived.
13. Contact
For an accommodation booking, casino entry question, menu, accessibility request or venue complaint, contact the relevant official provider directly. For a question about these terms or the Justin Mariner website, use the contact channel provided with the website or hosting account.
