Our Products

You must make your own assessment and rely on your own judgement to determine the products that are most suitable for your needs. We do not make any representation about the suitability of any particular product for your needs.

We provide descriptions of the products available for sale. We endeavour to ensure this information is up to up to date and accurate. However, this information may be provided to us by the manufacturer of the products or other third parties and so, except as required by law, we do not guarantee that it does not contain any errors or misdescription.

You must only use the products you purchase for the purpose they were designed for and in accordance with any instructions provided with the products.

The products are supplied by us for your personal use only. You must not resupply them to any other person without our consent.

We do not guarantee the availability at all times of all products displayed on our website. When you place an order, we will let you know if any particular product is unavailable or out of stock.

Orders

An order for products placed by you through this website is an offer by you to purchase the products listed in that order.
We are not obliged to supply those products until we provide you with an email confirming acceptance of your order.
We will endeavour to respond to your order, either confirming your purchase or advising of any difficulties or delays with processing your order, within 24 hours of receipt.

We are not obliged to accept, and may reject, your order for any reason. If we reject your order, we will refund any payment that you have made for the products ordered.

Errors or misdescriptions (in computation or otherwise) in any advertising, quotation, statement or invoice may be corrected by us at any time.

Transaction Information

Before completing your purchase, you will be presented with a confirmation screen verifying the transaction details you wish to process. It is your responsibility to verify that all transaction, credit card/account information and other details are correct.

You should print the transaction confirmation for future reference and your files.

We are not responsible for purchase transactions which are incorrect as a result of inaccurate data entry by you, or for loss of data or information caused by factors outside of our control.

Price and Payment

The prices for products listed on our website are stated in New Zealand dollars and payment must be made in New Zealand dollars.

All prices include New Zealand goods and services tax, unless stated otherwise.

We take no responsibility should an incorrect product be used by you or mixed with any other product by you due to incorrect delivery.
