Delivery of goods

Delivery charges are based on the delivery destination, and will be notified at the time you complete and accepted the delivery section.

HEATZONE LTD will not be liable for any delay in delivery of the ordered goods.

The Products remain at HeatZone Ltd risk until delivered to the Customer. Delivery is to be made at the place specified by the Customer when the order is made. If the Customer fails or refuses to take or accept delivery then the Products are deemed to have been delivered when HeatZone Ltd was willing to deliver them.

The delivery address of an order cannot be changed. The delivery address cannot be a PO BOX. The Customer must pay for Products ordered but sent to a delivery address provided by the Customer which is not correct.

Delivery of Products shall be deemed complete when HeatZone Ltd gives possession of the Products directly to the Customer or possession of the Products is given to a carrier, courier, or other bailee for purposes of transmission to the Customer.

Delivery of products are made to New Zealand addresses only. No provision can be made for overseas orders.

HeatZone Ltd reserves the right to deliver the Products in installments and each installment is deemed to be a separate contract under the same terms and conditions of the main contract. If HeatZone Ltd is unable to make delivery, the Customer will not be entitled to repudiate the contract.

If the Product is lost or damaged during delivery HeatZone Ltd will only pay a refund, repair the Product, or supply a new Product after receiving compensation from HeatZone Ltd insurance company. This procedure usually takes two weeks, but can take longer. HeatZone Ltd insures the Products against loss or damage during delivery.

Any costs for storage, delivery, taxes, duties or any other expenses may be charged to the Customer, if the Customer refuses to:

  1. take or accept delivery at the time specified in the quotation or at any other time that HeatZone Ltd is able to deliver the Products; or
  2. pay local taxes and duties.

The Customer will check the condition and quantity of the Products delivered and advise the deliverer of any missing or damaged Products immediately on receipt. HeatZone Ltd shall not be liable for any missing or damaged Products unless noted on the delivery receipt. The absence of written notification by the Customer on the delivery receipt shall be deemed to be delivery of the full order in good condition.

HEATZONE LTD will comply with its obligations pursuant to the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
