Snow Sports NZ - Terms and Conditions

Welcome to the Snow Sports NZ Website.

1.   On-Line Purchase

1.1 On-Line Event registration

Registering for an on-line Event “item(s)” from Snow Sports NZs (SSNZ) website represents a binding order with SSNZ and the User agreeing to the Terms & Conditions as outlined below:

 

SSNZ shall confirm by way of e-mail, fax, post or telephone a “confirmation of order” without delay, normally within 48 hours detailing the Event “item(s)” purchased.

 

Purchase of an Event “item(s)” by the User does not guarantee the User an automatic “entry” even when the User receives a “confirmation of order” and payment has been processed.  In the instance where an Event category is full the User will be notified shortly after, within 48 hours, of receiving “confirmation of order” and the User will be asked to indicate if the User would like to be “waitlisted”.  In the instance where the Event or Event category “waitlist” is full the User will be notified without delay, normally within 48 hours, and a full refund will be made. 

 

1.2 On-Line Purchase – Product(s): Payment, Freight & Ordering

Prices on the website are One Price Worldwide (including overseas shipping):

Payment Methods
SSNZ is only able to accept Visa and Mastercard. 

Customs and taxes
Some countries have import duties and taxes which are not covered by our freighting service. The User will need to enquire about these in your country. Please don't ask SSNZ to write anything on the outside of a parcel like "gifts only", as an organisation SSNZ cannot risk any legal repercussions.

Freight
SSNZ use Courier Post air parcel service which should get to you in 7 - 10 days internationally, 3-5 days nationally. A little longer for places further afield and during peak posting times. Track and Trace is extra.  Please contact SSNZ for more information about rates for this. As a rough rule of thumb for a 2 kilogram parcel this would cost around $35NZ to common first world destinations.

 

Warranties & Refunds

All on-line product(s) are warranted to the original owner against faulty materials or workmanship for the life of the product, repairs or replacements are at SSNZ discretion.  The warranty in no way limits the Users protection under relevant consumer protection legislation.  Due to the high costs of freighting, and credit card charging, SSNZ does not accept returns other than for warranty purposes.  Freight is non-refundable, if you need more details about colours and sizes before purchasing a product contact us for more details.

Refunds will only be made, in the unlikely circumstance that a shop item is shown as ‘in-stock’ but has been sold out and is not to be back-ordered.  The User will be contacted and a full refund will be made either by credit card, electronic bank transfer or cheque.

 

2.   Fees - Events

The User must pay SSNZ the Event “item fee(s)” as shown on the website for the successful arrangement of an entry spot. The fee(s) for an Event includes all pre-sale, system, administration and start fees as well as statutory Tax’s as is applicable and liable to SSNZ.

All Event entrants are responsible for their own International Federation licenses as is applicable for certain international events i.e. FIS licenses.  SSNZ is not liable for including these license fee’s as part of any Event “item” fee’s.

There is no entitlement to reimbursement of the fees if the entrant does not take up the entry.

Should an Event be cancelled, or should changes be made to schedules following confirmation of entry, Event fees already paid will be reimbursed, less an administration fee in the sum of 5% of the fee for Event(s) purchased.
