:: NZPFU Online Shopping Warehouse Terms & Conditions of Business

The NZPFU Online Shopping Warehouse is made available to you under the following policies and conditions:

Legal Jurisdiction
All activities on this website are conducted under the laws of the jurisdiction of New Zealand, unless otherwise stated.  The following sections describe how that jurisdiction is applied to this website.

The store owners can be contacted through the means described on the Contact page.

Electronic Payment
Electronic payments through this site are highly secure.  Credit card details are collected using a SSL secured server and are encrypted, so they cannot be read even in the unlikely event of the purchase details being intercepted. 

Backed by New Zealand's largest bank, we use ANZ eGateTM as our online payment gateway to provide secure transaction processing for the major credit card brands.  EFTPOS New Zealand Limited and ANZ National Bank Limited take responsibility for transaction encryption and security.

Using Verified by Visa authentication, your transactions are transmitted securely over the Internet using 128-bit SSL encryption and PKI digital certificate authentication.

Our online payment gateway features real time authorisation, pre authoriation and capture, and online card authentication.

Our secure shopping cart service (hosted by Mal's e-commerce Limited) is tested and certified daily to pass the FBI/SANS Internet Security Test.  The "live" HACKER SAFE mark appears only when a web site's security meets the highest security scanning standards of the U.S. government, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB.

Our secure shopping cart service also displays the Thawte site seal logo.  This enables you to check the site's validity yourself to confirm the site is authentic and that we offer secure communications by encrypting all data to and from the site.

Currencies
All prices are in NZ Dollars and include GST.  The currency of transaction is New Zealand dollars only. 

Methods of Payment
We currently accept payment via the following major credit card brands:

Customs
We only ship goods to New Zealand addresses.  On application, this restriction may be lifted and international orders may be shipped.  If by special arrangement we have agreed to ship goods overseas, you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country.  Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.  Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for further information.  Additionally, when ordering from our store, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods.

Privacy
We want to make your shopping experience as safe, satisfying, convenient and pleasurable as possible.  We take your privacy very seriously.  The information which we receive from you is used to process orders and to provide you with a more personalised shopping experience.  This means that your information will not be sold or otherwise divulged to third parties without your prior consent.  You have certain rights to access information about yourself and if necessary to ask for it to be corrected.  The Privacy Act in New Zealand makes allowance for a fair and reasonable charge to be levied for this action if required.

The Privacy Act in New Zealand sets out 12 information principles dealing with the collection, holding, use and disclosure of personal information.  In summary the principles are:

We respect your privacy.  Customer information provided is used for mailing your purchases and from time to time we may contact you with news or offers.  Contact will usually be made via our NZPFU eNEWS Bulletins or NZPFU Members Breaking News txt-msg Alert Service.  You can opt out of these mailings or text messages at any time by contacting the NZ Professional Firefighters Union Webmaster.  The customer information you provide will never be given to any other party without your consent.

Delivery Policy
We only ship goods to New Zealand addresses.  On application, this restriction may be lifted and international orders may be shipped.  Goods shipped within New Zealand are free of any packaging and freight charges.  Orders are accepted from both members and non-members of the New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union. 

If a product is in stock your order will be packed and dispatched immediately.

We endeavour to hold stock of all styles and sizes whilst a product is in our current range.  However, occasionally an item will be out of stock.  In these cases, orders are collated through the month until a cut off date where they are then shipped within two weeks.

We use Post Haste whose delivery policy is to obtain a Delivery Proof identifier on all consignments.  All overnight intercity deliveries are completed next morning and residential consignments on a next day basis. Rural deliveries may take an extra day.

All dates quoted for delivery are estimated delivery dates only and may be subject to change.

Returned merchandise and refund policy
The Consumer Guarantees Act requires that products are of "acceptable quality".  In addition, they must be fit for all purposes they might commonly be used for, be safe and durable, and must do what the seller has said they will.  Goods must be the same as any description of them.  Where goods fail any of these guarantees, consumers can ask for them to be replaced or for their money back. 

If goods are of the wrong size, we will be happy to exchange them within 14 days providing they are in perfect condition, unused, and in their original packaging. 

If the goods are damaged when you receive them, we will replace them (if returned within 14 days).

In order to return goods to us, please contact us as soon as possible via our Online Help Desk or by emailing shopping@nzpfu.org.nz to obtain instructions.

If returning goods we strongly recommend that you obtain a free receipt of postage from the Post Office as proof of postage as we will not accept responsibility for parcels lost in transit.
