We will deliver the products to you in such manner and form of transport that we consider appropriate. Delivery is complete once the products have been delivered to your delivery address. If there is no person to accept delivery, the products will be left at the front door or as instructed by you in your order and will be deemed to have been delivered at that point in time. Delivery instructions must be reasonable in relation to the scope of these deliveries. The products will be your responsibility once they have been delivered at your delivery address.

We will aim to deliver by our target delivery times, but these are estimates only and we will not be liable for failure to deliver within these times.

11.1 This clause prevails
This clause prevails over all other clauses in these T&C’s. To the extent permitted by law, this clause states Bodum’s entire liability, and your sole and exclusive remedies, for:
- the performance, non-performance, purported performance, or delay in performance of any obligation Bodum have under these T&C’s, or in respect of any representation made on Bodum’s Website; or
- otherwise in relation to these T&C’s.
- any breach of the obligations implied by law; or
- any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.
- our liability to you is limited to replacement of or refund for products in accordance with clause 9 above; and
- in any event, we are not responsible for any indirect, consequential, or special loss or damage of any kind.
- We are not responsible for events beyond our control: We will be excused from our obligation to deliver products if non-performance is due to events beyond our reasonable control.
- We are not liable for business losses: We only supply the products for domestic and private use. Any use of the Website or any products for any commercial, business or re-sale purposes is strictly prohibited and, for the avoidance of doubt, we have no liability to you whatsoever in connection with any such use, including for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
- We are not responsible for other websites: Our Website may provide links to other websites for your convenience and information. These websites are outside our control and the provision of a link to a third-party website does not imply our agreement to or endorsement of any of the information contained on the third-party website or otherwise imply any association with the third party. Third-party websites may have different terms of use and privacy policies, which you should review before using the third-party website.
11.2 Your rights
You may be entitled to certain statutory rights and guarantees to consumers that cannot be excluded, including those provided for under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986. Nothing in these T&C’s will affect or is intended to exclude or restrict any of your statutory rights as a consumer or Bodum’s liability for:

Subject to clause 11.2:
12 General

These T&C’s and the Legal Notices section of the Website, constitute the entire agreement between you and Bodum and supersede all previous agreements, understandings and negotiations in relation to your use of the Website and any purchases made via the Website.
12.2 We may transfer our rights under these T&C’s
We may transfer our rights and obligations under these T&C’s to a related company or a third-party purchaser. You must not transfer your rights or your obligations under these T&C’s to another person (they must set up their own account and place their own orders).
12.3 We may delay in enforcing our rights
If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these T&C’s, that does not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us from taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
12.4 Jurisdiction
These T&C’s are governed by and construed pursuant to the laws for the time being in force in New Zealand and any applicable legal proceedings must be heard in the New Zealand courts.
