Consumer Guarantees Act

When GridSpy supplies Products and Service to the Customer for the Customer’s use in a business, the Customer agrees that the Act does not apply. Where GridSpy supplies the Product and Service to the Customer as a “consumer” as defined in the Act for a non-business purpose, the Act will apply and prevail over any contrary provision in these terms and conditions. Where in any case the Customer is a “supplier” then, The Customer shall notify any “consumer” prior to the sale of any defects or limitation in the Products and Service and/or any common purpose for which the Products and Service are not suitable.

The Customer shall, to the extent that the consumer is acquiring Products and Service for the purpose of a business, contract out of the provisions of the Act to the full extent permitted by the law and shall not give or make any undertaking, assertion or representation to such consumers in relation to the products without GridSpy’s prior approval in writing. The Customer acknowledges that GridSpy does not provide any Express Guarantee (as defined in the Act) other than those expressly confirmed by GridSpy in writing.

The Customer agrees to indemnify GridSpy against any liability or cost incurred by GridSpy under the Act as a result of any breach by the Customer of its obligations contained in these Terms and Conditions or under the Act. The Customer agrees to notify GridSpy in writing, as soon as it is reasonable, of any defects in the Products and Service and the nature of such defects.

Whenever the Act does not apply to this contract GridSpy accepts no liability for any claim in respect of the Products and Service by the Customer or any other person including without limitation any claim relating to or arising from any conditions, warranties, descriptions, representations, conditions as to fitness or suitability for any purpose, tolerance to any conditions, merchantability or otherwise, whether express or implied by law, trade custom or otherwise or any representations, warranties, conditions or agreements made by the Customer which are not expressly confirmed by GridSpy in writing, and the Customer agrees to indemnify GridSpy against such claims.

Privacy Act

The Customer authorises GridSpy to: Obtain from a credit reporting agency a credit report concerning the Customer's credit information for the purpose of determining whether or not to supply the Products to the customer on credit or to collect unpaid accounts from the Customer.

Give to and seek from any credit providers (including the customer’s bankers) information about the Customer's credit arrangements.

Report any overdue payments owing by the Customer to other credit providers or credit reporting agencies pursuant to the terms of the Privacy Act 1993;

Provide any third party with credit information about the Customer when requested.

Non-waiver

The waiver by GridSpy of one default will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or different kind. Failure or delay in exercising any right by GridSpy will not be a waiver of that right.

Default

The Customer, including but not limited to any legal fees or debt collection agency fees, shall pay any expenses, disbursements and legal costs incurred by GridSpy in the enforcement of any rights contained in this contract.

Governing Law

The laws of New Zealand govern our trading. You agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of New Zealand and agree that any legal proceedings may be heard in those courts.
