Consumer Guarantees Act

If you are buying goods normally bought for personal, domestic or household use, you may have certain rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (Consumer Guarantees Act) that cannot be excluded or limited. These terms do not limit or alter your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act (other than in the circumstances permitted under that Act). You can find more information about your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act at the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment's website (www.consumerprotection.govt.nz/general-help/consumer-laws/consumer-guarantees-act) and the Commerce Commission's website (comcom.govt.nz/consumers/your-rights-as-a-consumer).

Agreement

SERFeng Ltd agrees to sell and the Customer agrees to buy the goods ordered through SERFeng Ltd.

Acceptance

By placing the order for goods through SERFeng Ltd you are deemed to accept the terms and conditions of sale.

Price

The purchase price is for goods supplied and packed, and is exclusive of installation and maintenance.

The price you pay will be increased by the amount of GST, other taxes and duties which may be applicable and insurance/freight/handling charges (except to the extent already expressly included in the price).

Provided we meet our obligations under the Fair Trading Act 1986, we can revise our prices at any time prior to accepting your order.

Purchase prices are given in New Zealand dollars unless otherwise stated.

You are bound to pay us the price once we accept your order. A quotation does not give rise to a binding contract until you place an order which we subsequently accept.

Payment

Goods you purchase must be paid for before we can deliver the goods to you.

Delivery

Once we have confirmed acceptance of your order, we will contact you with an estimated delivery date.

Delivery of an Order will be deemed to be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us and the Products will be your responsibility from that time. You may specify delivery instructions for an order (for example, you may authorise the delivery agent to leave the products in a specified location if you will not be at the delivery address). We will not be responsible for any order that is delivered, or attempted to be delivered, in accordance with your delivery instructions.

We will endeavour to dispatch your order within the time frame specified in relation to a particular product. If we are unable to dispatch your order within the time frame specified we will endeavour to contact you and advise you of the expected dispatch date. Any quotations of delivery times by us are made in good faith but are estimates and we shall not be bound by such quotation and we will not be liable for any loss, expense, or other damage caused by any delay in delivery.

International Delivery (Australia and Pacific Islands)

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your order complies with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.

Except for New Zealand Goods and Services Tax (as applicable depending on the shipment delivery address and unless otherwise stated), prices do not include import fees, duties, tariffs, taxes or other imposts or charges which may be payable in relation to your order. You are solely responsible to pay any import fees, duties, taxes, and other imposts or charges which are payable in relation to your order.

If you order Products from our site for delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount. You will be solely responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order. Note also that New Zealand law requires all international packages to have attached customs documentation, which describes the goods being sent and their cost.

Returns and Cancelled orders
