Who
operates
"AussieSpeedingFines.com?"
In June 2007 the
aussiespeedingfines.com website
contained the following terms and
conditions:
1.
You shall not use, or allow to be
used, any information contained
within "the website" in any way
against the authors.
2. Even if known, you shall not
disclose the names of the authors of
"the website" to anyone at any
time.
3. You fully understand that all the
information that is contained within
"the website" is provided to you on
a Without Prejudice basis.
4. You further acknowledge that none
of the information provided within
"the website" is to be considered
legal advice, it is simply provided
for informational purposes only.
By
continuing to read pages contained
in/on "the website" you agree to the
Terms and Conditions outlined above
of your own free will and understand
that any breach of those Terms and
Conditions will render you liable to
a penalty of AUD$1,000,000.00
payable immediately to the authors.
Should you NOT agree to ANY of the
Terms and Conditions above then you
must close down "the website" within
your browser and NOT read any
further.
If the author were legally trained,
he would know that it is illegal for a
contract to impose a penalty which is
greater than a fair and reasonable
estimate of the actual loss and damage
suffered as a result of the breach. So
I'm not intimidated by the threat of a
$1 million claim being made against me
even if simply reading his web site has
caused me to enter into a contract with
him.
The owner has gone to considerable
lengths to avoid being associated with
his website. He does not disclose his
identity as the owner on any part of
his site. When making payment to him by
credit card you are transacting with an
anonymous entity. If paying by cheque,
make it out to a service company. If
you want a refund or you want to make a
complaint, there is no-one to sue.
There is no person, registered business
name or Australian company that is
prepared to take responsibility for the
website. When you search whois
for the domain owner's details, you get
the following:

No meaningful information is
published about the identity or contact
details of the domain owner.Doesn't
sound like someone who is proud of his
work and prepared to stand by it.
Perhaps the author is just a very
humble man?! Here
is what others say about this.
In the online promotion of the
ebook, the author says this:
Please
don't wait to order this e-book
though. We have done everything in
our power to hide our identity from
the government, but they WILL
eventually find a way around this
and try to shut our site
down.
Might be because he doesn't want his
customers to lynch him when they
discover they have lost their licence
after being promised they will avoid
fines for life.
But it is now time to acknowledge
this legal genius. The
aussiespeedingfines.com website is
owned and operated by a man called
Mike
Palmer, who operates out
of his home at 388 Beach Road,
Beaumaris
Victoria. You can call him on 03 9589 1639 to discuss his money back guarantee.
Palmer now has
his house up for sale - perhaps he
feels it is time to do a runner?
Mike Palmer is a motivational
speaker (a.k.a. an over-priced
spruiker). His online profile suggests
he is a student and follower of
Tony
Robbins, the American motivational
speaker who started out selling his own
seminars and who utilises firewalking
and hypnotism in personal power
building seminars. Mike spent some time
studying to be a hypnotist,
which he probably found more useful
than wasting any time studying law. He
also operates tours
around Melbourne (although I can't
find any sign of his registration as a
travel agent under the Travel
Agents Act). It seems Mike's powers
of persuasion are an integral part of
his business. Mike was planning to run
a speeding fine forum on 3 September
2007 through Bayside City Council's
Bayside
Business Network Seminar Series. A
couple of weeks before it ran, the
Council canned it because of concerns
that his business is unethical.
