Terms of use

1. What these terms cover

These terms apply to your use of chur.co.nz (the website). By using the website you accept them. If you do not accept them, please stop using the website. That really is the only consequence.

The website is operated by Amity Innovation Limited, a New Zealand company trading as Chur. "We", "us" and "our" mean that company. "You" means whoever is using the website.

2. What these terms do not cover

This is worth being blunt about, because website terms are often quietly stretched to cover things they should not.

These terms govern the website and nothing else. They are not the terms on which we provide services. They are not a contract to build, host or maintain a website for you. They do not describe what you get, what we charge, who owns what, or what happens if something goes wrong with work we have done for you.

All of that lives in a separate written services agreement that we send you, that you read, and that we both sign before any work starts. If anything on this page ever appears to conflict with that agreement, your agreement wins. Nothing we publish here can change terms you have already signed.

3. The website is information, and an invitation to get in touch

There is no shop, no checkout, no basket and no form here. Nothing on this website creates a contract, and there is no button that commits you to anything.

Please do get in touch. That is what the site is for. Email us or ring us, tell us what you need, and we will tell you whether we can help and what it will cost. If your job sits outside our standard service, we will price it for you then. Whatever we agree goes in writing before any work starts.

About the prices we publish. We publish standard prices because we think hiding them wastes everyone's time. Those prices:

• are in New Zealand dollars and exclude GST;
• are our standard rates rather than a quote for your particular job, and publishing them here is not an offer you can accept by return;
• describe our standard service, and work outside that scope is priced separately; and
• can change at any time, without notice, by us updating this website.

If you are already a customer, a price change here does not change what you pay. Your price is whatever your signed agreement says it is, and it only changes the way that agreement says it can.

We try hard to keep this website accurate and current. We do not promise that every statement on it is complete or free of error, and nothing on it is professional advice you should act on without talking to us. What we do promise is that we will not mislead you, and if you think something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it.

4. Using the website

Use it however you like, within the following limits.

You may, without asking us:

• read, print and share anything on the site for your own purposes;
• link to any page on it, including deep links to specific pages;
• quote reasonably from it, with attribution;
• crawl and index it with automated tools, including AI crawlers, to the extent our robots.txt permits. Our robots.txt allows considerably more than most sites do, and that is deliberate.

You must not:

• attempt to damage, disable, overload or break into the website or the systems behind it, or introduce anything malicious;
• try to gain access to any part of it that is not published;
• crawl it in a way that degrades it for other people, or that ignores our robots.txt;
• copy the site wholesale and republish it as your own, or use our name, logo or design in a way that suggests we endorse you when we do not.

If your use is causing a technical problem, our security provider may block the traffic. We may also block or restrict access where someone is attacking the site. That is the whole of our right to cut you off, and we will not use it because we dislike what you say about us.

We are not asking you to indemnify us. Some website terms make every visitor promise to cover the operator's legal costs. On a site that does nothing but describe a business, that is not a fair thing to ask of somebody who has simply read a page, so we have not asked it.

5. Who owns what

We own, or are licensed to use, everything on this website: the words, the design, the code, the structured data, the layout and the Chur name and logo. Using the website does not give you any ownership of it.

That does not stop you doing any of the things listed in clause 4 above. Quoting us, linking to us and referring to our published prices are all fine.

Where we show or describe work done for customers, the rights in that work sit with the customer or with us as our agreements with them set out.

6. Availability

We aim to keep the website up and fast, and we care about that a good deal, since it is the thing we sell. We do not guarantee it. We may change, move, suspend or withdraw any part of the website at any time, and we may take it down for maintenance without telling you first.

7. Links to other websites

Where we link somewhere else, we do not control that site and we are not responsible for it. A link is not an endorsement, and you should read that site's own terms and privacy policy.

8. Privacy

Our privacy policy explains what this website collects, which is very close to nothing, and what happens if you get in touch. It forms part of these terms.

9. Liability

Here is what we are and are not responsible for. We have written it plainly rather than in the usual block capitals.

We are responsible for, and do not try to exclude:

• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us;
• death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
• our obligations to you under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986, and any other consumer protection law that cannot be excluded. Nothing in these terms contracts out of those, and we do not claim to. If you are a consumer, those rights survive everything on this page;
• anything else the law does not allow us to exclude.

We are not responsible for, to the extent the law allows:

• the website being unavailable, slow or interrupted;
• errors or omissions in the information published on it;
• any decision you take based on the website without talking to us first;
• viruses or other harm arising from your own device or connection, or from your accessing the site;
• the content or conduct of any website we link to.

A cap. Where we are liable to you in connection with this website and that liability can be limited, our total liability is limited to NZD 1,000. This applies to the website only. It has nothing to do with our liability under a signed services agreement, which is dealt with in that agreement and is not capped at this figure.

We are also not liable for indirect or consequential loss connected with the website, including lost profits, revenue or data.

10. If you are outside New Zealand

We built this website for a New Zealand audience. We do not promise that it is appropriate or available anywhere else, or that its content complies with the law of your country. If you are somewhere else, you are responsible for whether your use of it is lawful where you are.

11. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms by publishing an updated version here. Changes take effect from the day we publish them. The date at the bottom is the day this version was last changed. We do not maintain a mailing list, so we cannot notify you individually, which is another reason these terms are deliberately short and mild.

A change here never alters a signed services agreement. See clause 2.

12. General

Law. These terms, and any dispute about them or about the website, are governed by New Zealand law. The New Zealand courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction, which means you can bring a claim here, and if the law of your own country gives you the right to bring it there instead, we are not trying to take that away.

Talk to us first. If something has gone wrong, please email us before doing anything formal. We would much rather sort it out directly.

Severability. If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, that part is treated as removed and the rest still applies.

No waiver. If we do not enforce something straight away, we have not given up the right to enforce it later. Any waiver by us has to be in writing.

Survival. Clauses 5, 8, 9 and 12 continue to apply after you stop using the website.
