Online Terms of Sale

Orders
1. By placing an order ("Order") on this site ("Site") you are making an offer to Sony New Zealand Limited (Companies Office no. 533502) ("Sony") to purchase the products listed in your shopping cart on the Site at that time ("Products") upon the terms set out in these terms of sale ("Sale Terms").

2. By placing an Order you warrant that you are over the age of 18 years. Sony may reject an Order or rescind a purchase contract if it becomes aware that you are not over the age of 18 years.

3. These Sale Terms supersede any other terms relating to the sale of the Products appearing on the Site or elsewhere and shall override any other terms referred to by you or in any course of dealing. Upon acceptance of an Order, these Sale Terms constitute the entire contract between us and you for the supply of the relevant Products.

4. Sony's Privacy Policy and, to the extent they are applicable, the Terms of Use of this Site form part of, and are hereby incorporated into, these Sale Terms.

5. Sony reserves the right to accept or reject your Order for any reason, including, without limitation, an error in your Order or in the material on the Site, failure of your payment, or the unavailability of a Product. The contract to purchase a particular Product only comes into existence upon acceptance by Sony of your Order.

6. After submitting an Order, the Site will display an order summary including an order reference number and details of the Product(s) you have ordered ("Order Summary"). The Order Summary does not mean your Order has been accepted by us.

7. All Orders are subject to acceptance by Sony of your offer to purchase the Product(s). Sony will only be deemed to have accepted your offer to purchase a Product when we send you an email with your invoice confirming that your Order is on its way (a "Despatch Confirmation"). The purchase contract formed by this acceptance will relate only to those Products whose despatch we have confirmed in the Despatch Confirmation. Sony will not be obliged to supply other Products which may have been part of your Order until the despatch of those Products has been confirmed in a Despatch Confirmation. Please refer to clause 18 for further terms regarding Orders delivered by instalments. If, for any reason, any or all of the Products you have ordered (including after acceptance by Sony and prior to delivery):

(a) are or become unavailable;

(b) cannot be delivered due to an event beyond Sony’s control, such as (but not limited to) pandemic, storm, flood, earthquake, terrorism, war, strike, power failure or failure of computer systems; or

then Sony will make reasonable efforts to notify you of this as soon as possible after becoming aware of it, and Sony reserves the right to rescind the purchase contract and cancel your Order. In this case, if you have already paid for a Product, Sony will refund you the amount paid as soon as reasonably possible.

8. Sony may appoint subcontractors to supply or deliver the Products and to perform any act of Sony contemplated under these Sale Terms.

9. Products are subject to availability. In the event of shortage, Sony may allocate sales and deliveries in its sole discretion.

10. Sony will only accept Orders if the delivery address is a street address in New Zealand.

11. Sony reserves the right to limit the quantity of Products purchased by you.

12. Sony may update, or discontinue any Product and / or revise prices for any Product listed as available on the Site at any time without notice to you. The price displayed at the time that you place your Order will continue to apply to you even if the price changes after you place your Order but before your Order is accepted by Sony.

13. The price of a Product shall be as stipulated on the Site at the time of placement of your Order. Unless otherwise indicated on the Site, all prices include all New Zealand taxes.

Delivery
14. In addition to the price for the Products, you must also pay the listed delivery charge (if any) (“Delivery Charge”) for your Order. Any Delivery Charge will be shown in your shopping cart. By placing an Order, you agree to pay the price for the Product(s) and any Delivery Charge.

15. If you choose for your Order to be delivered to a location other than a Sony store, delivery shall be made to the address nominated in your Order ("Delivery Address"). Sony will not deliver to PO boxes or parcel lockers. Sony has the right to select the method of delivery and the carrier. Sony will be deemed to have delivered the Product(s) to you when we deliver them to the Delivery Address. Delivery may be made by instalments, at the sole option of Sony.

16. Any dates quoted by Sony or its subcontractors for delivery of the Products are estimates only and shall not form part of the Sale Terms.

17. Sony must receive full payment of the price of the Products ordered, and any other charges (including delivery or freight charges) that may apply to your Order, before they are delivered or supplied to you. You shall pay for the Products by using one of the payment methods available on the Site.

18. Where the Products are to be delivered by instalments, each instalment shall be deemed to be the subject of a separate agreement and no default or failure by Sony or its subcontractors in respect of any one or more instalments shall vitiate the contract in respect of the Products previously delivered or undelivered Products. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event that Sony or its subcontractors give notice to you that it is unable to deliver any instalment of the Products, you shall be deemed to have accepted those instalments already delivered but Sony or its subcontractors may reimburse the price of the undelivered Products which have been paid for by you. In addition, where Sony is unable to deliver any instalment of your Order, and this instalment relates to and is dependent on an earlier instalment of the Order (for example, an Order for a camera and compatible lens), you will be offered the option to either: (a) cancel the outstanding instalment of your Order and receive a refund for that outstanding instalment, or (b) cancel the entire Order and receive a full refund for all instalments (refund for the earlier instalment will be provided upon the earlier instalment being returned in unopened and unused condition to Sony).

19. If you fail to take delivery of the Products or any part of them when they are made available to you, or fail to provide accurate instructions, documents, licenses, consents or authorizations required to enable the Products to be delivered, Sony or its subcontractors shall be entitled, upon giving written notice to you, to store or arrange for storage of the Products, and then risk in the Products shall pass to you, delivery shall be deemed to have taken place. Sony or its subcontractors may pass on costs and expenses (including storage and insurance charges) to you.

20. Unless you notify Sony to the contrary by telephone or by the "Contact us" form within seven (7) days of delivery and such notification is confirmed in writing within seven (7) days of its receipt by Sony, the Products shall be deemed to have been accepted by you in accordance with the Sale Terms.

21. Title and risk of loss or damage to the Products shall pass to you upon the physical delivery of the Products to the Delivery Address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Products consist of software, title shall remain with the applicable licensor(s).

Your warranties
26.

Warranty

Parallel important warning
29. Sony is the authorised distributor of Sony branded computer, consumer electronic & media products in New Zealand. Recently we have observed other suppliers offering imported Sony product from overseas and selling through retail outlets, other dealerships as well as online via the Internet, etc., to New Zealand consumers.

30. Consumers should exercise care when acquiring these products. Also, from time to time we have become aware of a growing number of "copy" of "fake" Sony products being brought into New Zealand and being sold the same way as above. In particular, consumers should:
(a) Check that the product conforms with all New Zealand electrical safety standards;
(b) Check that the product conform to New Zealand RF emission & Safety standards;
(c) Check if the product incorporates a tuner ( TV's, VCR's, portable Audio, etc. ), and if so does it properly support the New Zealand frequencies & broadcast formats;
(d) Check that the seller will provide and honour the product warranty. Some products offered may not be carried by Sony New Zealand and we may be unable to help if the seller fails to honour the warranty;
(e) Check that the product is definitely a "genuine" Sony product and not a "copy" or "fake".
