The Website contains hyperlinks and other pointers to Internet websites operated by third parties. These linked websites are not under the control of Travel Cars NZ and Travel Cars NZ is not responsible for the contents of any linked website or any hyperlink contained in a linked website. Travel Cars NZ provides these hyperlinks to you as a convenience only, and the inclusion of any link does not imply any endorsement of the linked website by Travel Cars NZ or its affiliates.
You link to any such website entirely at your own risk. The Website also contains third-party advertisements (including banner ads and full-page advertisements), which contain embedded hyperlinks or include referral buttons to websites operated by third parties or their licensees or contractors. All third-party advertising (including referral buttons and embedded hyperlinks) is paid for by the relevant third-party advertisers and is not recommendations or endorsements by Travel Cars NZ or its affiliates or their respective directors or employees.
You are referred to the relevant advertiser for all information regarding the advertiser and its products and/or services. In some instances, the advertisement will contain representations or offers by the third-party advertiser which you can accept by linking to the advertiser’s website and executing the relevant transaction. Such offers are not made by Travel Cars NZ, and the third-party advertiser is solely responsible to you for the delivery of any goods or services you purchase on the third-party website. We use a third party to provide monetisation technologies for our site.
The Fair Trading Act 1986 and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (“CGA”) may confer rights and remedies on you in relation to the provision by Travel Cars NZ of goods or services on the Website which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified (“Non-excludable Rights”). Travel Cars NZ does not exclude any Non-excludable Rights but does exclude all other conditions and warranties implied by custom, law or statute.
The CGA will not apply where you are not a “Consumer” (as that term is defined in the CGA) or where you hold yourself out as using and/or accessing the Website for the purposes of a business.
Except as provided for by the Non-excludable Rights:
a) all Content is provided “as is” and without warranties of any kind, either express or implied,
b) Travel Cars NZ and its suppliers expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose,

e) you (and not Travel Cars NZ) assume the entire cost of any necessary verification, maintenance, repair and/or correction of any relevant Content. Under no circumstances (including but not limited to any act or omission on the part of Travel Cars NZ) will Travel Cars NZ or its affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special and/or consequential damages or loss of profits whatsoever which result from any use or access of, or any inability to use or access, the Website or any Content.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Travel Cars NZ liability for breach of any implied warranty or condition which cannot be excluded is limited at the option of Travel Cars NZ to the following:
All fees including GST, are in New Zealand dollars and are not refundable unless Travel Cars NZ determines (in its sole discretion) that a refund is appropriate in the circumstances (e.g. if there is an accidental double listing). Travel Cars NZ will only issue refunds in the form of a credit to the member’s account. Cash refunds will not be issued.
Credits on accounts are not transferable between members. You cannot cancel a listing once payment has been made.
The Terms of Use are effective until terminated by Travel Cars NZ, and Travel Cars NZ may terminate this agreement and your access to the Website at any time without notice. In the event of termination, you are no longer authorised to access the Website, but all restrictions imposed on you, licenses granted by you and all Travel Cars NZ disclaimers and limitations of liability set out in the Terms of Use will survive.
The trade marks displayed on the Website are trademarks of Travel Cars NZ, its affiliates or their respective owners. Nothing contained on the Website should be construed as granting any licence or right of use of any trade mark displayed on the site without the express written permission of Travel Cars NZ, the relevant Travel Cars NZ affiliate or the third-party owner.
If you wish to place a trade mark (whether in stylised or logo form or not) on your own website as a hyperlink to the Website, you must first obtain the express written authorisation of Travel Cars NZ, the relevant affiliate, or third party owner and any use must be in accordance with the trade mark usage guidelines of the relevant trade mark owner.
Where any dispute arises between you and another user of the Website you agree to in good faith use your best endeavours to attempt to resolve the dispute amicably through negotiation or other informal means before pursuing any further formal action. Travel Cars NZ will not be a party to any such dispute.
This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand. You irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand.
If any provision of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of law, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the remainder of the agreement, which will continue in full force and effect. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
