GENERAL CUSTOMER TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE 

 

These customer terms and conditions of sale (“Terms”) are issued by The Warehouse Group and are effective from 20 December 2023.

 

By “The Warehouse Group” we mean the following companies and their associated brands:

 

·       The Warehouse Limited, including The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, Noel Leeming and MarketClub

·       Torpedo7 Limited

·       TheMarket.com Limited, including TheMarket and 1-day

 

In these Terms, we refer to The Warehouse Group as “we”, “us”, “our”, or “Group” and we refer to each company (and each associated brand) within The Warehouse Group as a “Group Entity”.

 

These Terms comprise of:

·       General Terms, which apply to all Group Entities and your use of each Group Entity’s Websites and Platforms, Stores and Services (each defined below); and

·       Specific Terms, which apply to a specific Group Entity and your use of that specific Group Entity’s Websites and Platforms, Stores and Services.   

 

We are proud to be able to provide customers with the choice to purchase goods from a wide range of sources. In addition to enabling you to purchase goods directly from our Group Entities, we also provide the ability for you to purchase goods from independent third party sellers (“Third Party Sellers” or “3P Sellers”), directly via our Websites and Platforms. We are committed to keeping your shopping experience as easy as possible, regardless of whether you purchase from us, or from a 3P Seller. However, at times, processes and your purchasing experience may be different. Where relevant, these Terms also set out what you can expect when purchasing goods from a 3P Seller.

 

By using, visiting or participating in (as applicable) any of our websites, platforms, mobile sites, apps, social media pages (“Websites and Platforms”), stores, store services (including Wi-Fi), database, promotions or membership programmes (“Stores and Services”), you accept these Terms and our Group Privacy Statement. By placing an order to purchase goods from a 3P Seller, you agree that personal information that is necessary to fulfil your order will be disclosed to the 3P Seller, and that the terms of the 3P Seller’s Privacy Policy will also apply. 

 

We may change these Terms at any time, and changes will be posted on our Websites and Platforms. We will notify you where there are any material changes to these Terms.  By continuing to use any of our Websites and Platforms and/or purchase goods or services from us, you continue to agree to these Terms and are bound by any changes to them.

 

Please read these Terms carefully. If you need to refer to them again, they can be accessed via our Websites and Platforms.

  

1.         Purchasing goods from 3P Sellers

The following terms apply when purchasing goods from 3P Sellers via our Websites and Platforms. Where there is any inconsistency between the terms in this clause and the remainder of these Terms, the terms in this clause will take priority.  

 

·       In addition to selling our goods, we also provide the ability for 3P Sellers to sell their goods via our Websites and Platforms. Where goods are being sold by a 3P Seller, the listing will include the 3P Seller’s details in addition to any terms of sale specific to the 3P Sellers’s goods (for example, estimated delivery timeframes and delivery costs). You can identify whether a good is sold by a Group Entity or by a 3P Seller by looking for ‘Sold and Shipped by’ (or similar language) when browsing our Websites and Platforms.

·       By purchasing goods from a 3P Seller, you are transacting directly with the 3P Seller, and The Warehouse Group is not a party to the transaction. As a result, The Warehouse Group does not control any aspect of the transaction, including the listing content, the accuracy or the quality, shipping or delivery of goods. Delivery times are set by 3P Sellers and therefore vary depending on which 3P Seller you are purchasing from.

·       You agree that where you are purchasing goods from 3P Sellers, The Warehouse Group is not responsible for the transactions that occur between you and the 3P Seller, nor are we responsible for the 3P Seller’s goods or associated services, to the extent permitted by law. We make no warranty or representation regarding any goods or services to be supplied by the 3P Seller. Nothing in this clause is intended to have the effect of restricting or modifying your rights or our obligations that cannot be restricted or modified by law (including the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993).

·       Unless specified otherwise, promotions, offers, and deals advertised by our Group Entities do not apply to goods sold by 3P Sellers.

·       The following payment methods are not available for transactions in which goods are being purchased from a 3P Seller. Further, you agree not to attempt to make a purchase from a 3P Seller using the following payment methods.

(a)       The Warehouse Christmas Club

(b)       Gift Cards issued by Group Entities (except for purchases on TheMarket with a gift card issued by TheMarket).

 

2.         Placing Orders

Due to photographic and screen limitations, actual goods may differ to a small extent in visual appearance from the way they appear on our Websites and Platforms.

 

Any information contained on our Websites and Platforms constitutes an invitation to treat only and is not an offer to supply any goods or service.

 

When you place an order, you are making an offer to buy goods or services.

 

To order goods, add them to the shopping cart and proceed through the checkout process on the relevant Website or Platform. You will be required to provide delivery and payment information, and other information about your order. If this information is successfully provided, you will be led to a confirmation page with full details of your order (which you can use as a receipt of your order).

 

Some goods sold via our Websites and Platforms carry an age restriction. If a good you have selected is age restricted, you will be required to confirm that you are an appropriate age to purchase the good. Confirming this means you represent to us (and, if applicable, the 3P Seller) that you are of an eligible age and that you are not purchasing the good on behalf of a person who is not the appropriate age.

 

We will send you an e-mail to confirm that we have received and accepted your order and will take payment upon acceptance.

 

If you are ordering from a 3P Seller (including through TheMarket.com) payment will be taken prior to confirmation that the order has been accepted. However, if the 3P Seller rejects your order, you will be refunded in full.

 

3.         Fair Use Policy

All goods and services offered for sale on our Websites and Platforms, including those on sale, promotion or with any discounts on retail prices, are offered under our Fair Use Policy.

We reserve the right to place quantity limits on goods. Discount limits per customer and maximum savings per customer will be monitored for any suspected abuse of the Fair Use Policy.  Persistent abuse of our Fair Use Policy may result in suspension or termination of your customer accounts with us.

 

4.         Cancelling Orders

We reserve the right to cancel orders that we believe to be placed for commercial purposes or are fraudulent (including where we believe there may have been credit card or a payment related fraud) or otherwise breach our Fair Use Policy. We may also cancel orders where there has been an error in the listing of the good (e.g. an incorrect price, image or description of a good) and/or a stock complication arises.

 

If we cancel your order, you will be refunded in full to the purchasing account. Prior to any such cancellation, we may contact you and discuss appropriate changes to your order.

 

You can request to cancel your order (or part of your order) for any reason unless it has already been shipped. If we are able to successfully process your cancellation request before your order is shipped, you will receive a full refund of any payments you have made for that order. Please note that creating a cancellation request does not guarantee that your order will not be shipped.

 

Refer to the ‘Returns’ section below to find out about our returns policies.

 

5.         Pricing

Unless specified otherwise, all prices listed in store, on Websites and Platforms, are in New Zealand dollars and are inclusive of GST. Please note that prices may be altered at any time for any reason. Delivery charges may be listed separately. Online and in store pricing may differ.

 

Orders delivered from outside New Zealand (e.g. when purchasing from a 3P Seller) may be subject to duties or other charges. You will be responsible for paying such duties or other charges and acknowledge that delivery of orders may be delayed where payment of such duties or other charges is required. However, you may reject the notice to pay tax and duties or other charges, in which case your order will be cancelled and you will be refunded in full.
