TorquePress
Last updated: November 2026
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the TorquePress website, tools and calculators, newsletters, social media channels and related services operated by TorquePress (“we”, “us”, “our”).
By using our website and services, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the website.
1. About TorquePress
TorquePress is an independent Australian motoring publication covering news, buyer’s guides and reviews, comparisons, ownership and maintenance advice, gear, modified and enthusiast car culture, and online tools and calculators. Our content is provided for general information and editorial purposes only.
2. Using our website
When you use this website, you agree to:
- use it only for lawful purposes
- not interfere with the security or operation of the website, or try to gain unauthorised access to our systems
- not scrape, extract or collect content or data using automated tools (including bots, crawlers or AI systems) without our permission
- not reproduce, republish or redistribute our content without our written consent
We may restrict or remove access to the website if these Terms are breached.
3. Editorial content and general advice
TorquePress publishes news, opinion, commentary, buyer’s guides and reviews. We work hard to keep our content accurate and up to date, but we can’t guarantee that all information on the website is complete, error-free or current.
Our content reflects the views of the author and is general information only. It doesn’t take your personal circumstances into account and isn’t professional financial, legal, insurance or mechanical advice. Where we haven’t driven a vehicle ourselves, we say so, and the article draws on manufacturer information, owner feedback and published road tests. Please do your own research and get professional advice where appropriate.
4. Vehicle information and pricing
Vehicle specifications, pricing and availability can change without notice. Prices can vary by state, location and dealer, specifications can change during a model’s production run, and options can affect both price and equipment. We make reasonable efforts to check vehicle information, but always confirm details with the manufacturer or an authorised dealer before you buy.
5. Modifications, tools and calculators
Vehicle modification rules differ between states and territories and change over time. Our modification content, tools and calculators (including our wheel and tyre calculators and modification checkers) give general guidance based on published rules at the time of writing.
Results from our tools and calculators:
- are estimates and general guidance only
- are not a certification of roadworthiness, compliance or legality
- do not replace advice from your state or territory road authority, a licensed vehicle examiner, an engineer or your insurer
Before modifying a vehicle, confirm the requirements with your state or territory road authority and tell your insurer. Some modifications can affect your registration, roadworthiness and insurance cover.
6. Third-party links and websites
Our website may link to third-party websites, products and services for your convenience. We don’t control and aren’t responsible for their content, products, services or privacy practices, and any dealings you have with third parties are between you and them.
7. Advertising, sponsored content and affiliate links
TorquePress may display advertising and publish sponsored content, affiliate links and brand partnerships. Sponsored or paid content is always clearly labelled. Some links are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you.
Ads on our website may be served by third-party vendors, including Google, which use cookies. See our Privacy Policy for details and opt-out options. Advertisers, sponsors and affiliate partners do not influence our editorial opinions.
