These Terms and Conditions regulate the relationship between you and us. By using our website in any way, or by buying goods from us, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
2 General
To use this website or to buy goods from us you must be legally capable of entering into binding contracts and have full authority, power and capacity to agree to these Terms and Conditions.
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
3 Written communications
Where the law requires us to send you information or communications in writing, such communication will be primarily electronic through e-mail or notices posted on our website. By accessing our website or ordering any goods from us, you agree to this electronic means of communication.
4 Order process
Your order for any goods shall be deemed to be an offer by you to purchase the goods pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and subject to acceptance by us.
We may choose to accept or decline your order for any reason.
Acceptance of your order will be by email informing you that the goods have been dispatched. That is when the contract is made.
We do not guarantee that the goods advertised on our website are available.
If any goods are listed on our website at an incorrect price or with incorrect information we reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order for the goods, whether or not such order has been confirmed by us. In such circumstances any payment made by you will be reimbursed.
5 Prices
Prices on our website are displayed in different currencies depending on the origin of the order. New Zealand pricing includes goods and services tax (“GST”). Overseas buyers are excluded from this tax.
Bank charges by the receiving bank on payments to us will be borne by us. All other charges relating to payment in a currency other than New Zealand dollars will be borne by you.
The price of the goods does not include the delivery charge which will be charged at the rates applicable on the date you place your order and which will be displayed at checkout before you pay.
If you are located outside New Zealand there is a delivery charge. Any delivery charge will be stated when you order the goods, prior to payment.
Payment must be made upon the submission of your order. We may withhold the goods and/or cancel the contract with you if the price is not received from you in full in cleared funds within 30 days of your order.
We reserve the right to change the prices at any time, and any such change shall take effect when posted on the website. Any change to the prices shall not affect the prices agreed by you at the time of purchasing any goods.
6 Delivery
We will arrange for the goods to be delivered to the address for delivery indicated in your order.
We will endeavour to dispatch the goods in a timely manner and will advise you by email when the goods have been dispatched.
Time of delivery shall not be of the essence, and we shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages or expenses incurred by you or any third party arising directly or indirectly out of any failure to meet any estimated delivery date.
Goods are sent at our risk until received by you or by any other person at the address you have given to us. Where you have agreed that the goods can be left at a safe place at your address, risk passes to you when the goods are left in that safe place.
7 Goods damaged in transit
You must check any product delivered to you to determine if it is damaged. If a product is damaged on delivery, then you should refuse to take receipt of that product and notify us by email. If you notice damage to a product after delivery, you should notify us within 7 days of delivery and then return the product to us in accordance with the Returns Policy in clause 9.
You are also entitled to all guarantees and rights to return faulty goods that may be given by the manufacturer of the goods and by law except where excluded in these terms and conditions.
Our Returns Policy is set out at clause 9 of these Terms and Conditions. You must provide us with the invoice we issued to you for your order to make a claim under this clause. If you fail to do so, then we may not provide you with a refund.
8 Warranty against defective parts and manufacture
All goods come with a 2-year warranty against defective parts and manufacture. Any goods or parts that we find, within the period of the warranty, to be defective as a result of defective parts and/or manufacture will be replaced by us or repaired at our expense.
If you become aware of a defect in materials or manufacture you must inform us as soon as possible by email at info@textone.co.nz. Your email should contain the following information:
- The invoice/reference number.
- The date of purchase.
- A brief description of the fault or damage and, if possible, a photograph of the fault or damage.
- Your daytime contact phone number.
If you agree, we might be able to correct the defect by sending you a new part that can be easily fitted. If not, we will ask you to return the goods to us at our expense. You must return the goods to us within 21 days of our request, by following the procedure set out in our Returns Policy in clause 9 of these Terms and Conditions.
This warranty covers defects in materials and manufacture only. It does not cover faults caused by improper use, incorrect operation or normal wear and tear.
This warranty is only provided to you, the original purchaser, and is not transferable to any other party.
This warranty does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer in any way.
9 Returns Policy
If goods are defective or were damaged in transit to you, we will meet our obligations under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 by offering you either a repair, refund or replacement if the goods are defective or damaged in transit.
We will not offer a refund if you simply change your mind about the purchase.
All goods must be returned to us in accordance with the following procedure:
- The goods must be packed securely and returned in the original box to prevent damage.
- Your name and invoice/reference number should be clearly written on a piece of paper, which should be included in the return package. Alternatively, your name and invoice/reference number should be clearly written on the outside wrapper of the return package.
- The package must be sent to us at the address we give to you at the time you advise us that you wish to return the goods.
- The package must be sent with tracking. [Risk remains with you until the package is received by us.]
- It would help us to deal promptly with your returned goods if you emailed us to let us know when the goods had been sent including tracking details.
- You should retain proof of posting and produce the proof of posting if required by us.
In the case of damaged or defective goods or goods which have not been ordered by you, we will reimburse the postage cost reasonably incurred by you in returning the goods to us (such costs not to exceed the cost of sending the goods by standard non-urgent courier with tracking).
Once we receive your returned goods we will, where applicable, examine the goods for damage or defects and either:
- provide you with replacement goods or repaired goods where we are satisfied that the goods were damaged in transit to you, or
- provide you with replacement goods or repaired goods where we are satisfied that the goods are defective due to a defect in materials or manufacture, or
- provide you with a reimbursement (including the delivery charge) where we are satisfied that the goods were defective or damaged in transit to you and we are not able to provide a replacement or repair the goods or
- notify you that we will not be providing replacement goods or repaired goods or a reimbursement (as the case may be) where we are not satisfied that the circumstances meet the requirements of these Terms and Conditions.
If we decide to provide you with replacement goods or repaired goods or a reimbursement, such reimbursement will include, if any, the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
Repaired or replacement goods will be sent to you at our expense.
We will make any reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
10 Security of your credit card
