1. Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these website terms. If you do not agree with them, you should stop using the website.
These terms apply to the public Virtualtopia website and its content. They do not by themselves create a client relationship or replace any separate agreement relating to paid services.
2. Website information
We aim to keep the information on this website accurate, useful and current. However, website content is provided for general information and may not take account of your particular circumstances, systems or requirements.
Technology, platforms, pricing, third-party services and industry practices can change. Information on this website may therefore be updated, corrected or removed from time to time.
3. Services, enquiries and quotations
Descriptions of services on this website are general. The exact scope, deliverables, pricing, responsibilities and timeframes for client work will normally be agreed separately.
Submitting an enquiry does not oblige you to purchase services and does not oblige Virtualtopia to accept a project.
A quotation, proposal or other project document may contain additional terms that apply specifically to that work.
4. Acceptable use
You must not use this website in a way that is unlawful, harmful or intended to interfere with the operation or security of the website or related systems.
In particular, you must not knowingly:
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to website systems or accounts;
- introduce malicious code, automated attacks or harmful content;
- use the website to send spam, fraudulent material or unlawful communications;
- scrape, overload or disrupt the website in a way that materially interferes with normal operation;
- misrepresent your identity or use another person's information without authority.
5. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the text, layout, design, branding, graphics and original material on this website are owned by Virtualtopia or used with permission.
You may view and use the website for normal personal or business information purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, redistribute or commercially exploit substantial parts of the website without permission, except where permitted by law.
Third-party names, trademarks, logos and platform names remain the property of their respective owners.
6. Third-party websites and services
This website may link to or integrate with third-party websites, platforms, tools or services. These are provided for convenience or functionality and are controlled by their respective providers.
Virtualtopia is not responsible for the content, availability, security, privacy practices or terms of third-party websites or services.
7. Website availability
We aim to keep the website available and functioning properly, but continuous or error-free access cannot be guaranteed.
Access may occasionally be interrupted by maintenance, hosting issues, security work, network problems, third-party failures or circumstances outside our reasonable control.
8. Liability and reliance
To the extent permitted by law, Virtualtopia is not liable for loss arising solely from reliance on general information published on this website, or from temporary interruption, third-party content or circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude or restrict liability where doing so would be unlawful.
Project-specific work should be governed by its own agreed scope and service terms. This website terms page is not intended to replace those commercial arrangements.
9. New Zealand consumer rights
Nothing in these website terms is intended to exclude, restrict or modify rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under New Zealand law.
Where consumer protection legislation applies, including the Fair Trading Act 1986 or Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, these terms should be read subject to those statutory rights and obligations.
10. Privacy
Personal information collected through this website is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these website terms when the website, services, technology or legal requirements change. The current version will be published on this page with its effective date.
Your continued use of the website after an updated version is published means the updated terms apply to future use of the website.
12. Governing law
These website terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any dispute relating to use of this website will be subject to the jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
13. Contact
