Terms of service

These terms of sale apply to all book reservations made through shop.nbr.co.nz, operated by NBR.

What you are buying

You are reserving one of 1500 numbered copies of Sixty Years of Business, a book that has not yet been written or printed. Payment is taken by us at the time of reservation. Your copy will be dispatched after publication, which is planned for 26 August 2030. If you proceed with a reservation, you do so with full knowledge of and agreement to this.

Minimum reservations

The book will only proceed to publication if we receive a minimum number of reservations by 1 February 2027.

If the minimum is not met, we will notify you in writing, cancel all reservations, and refund you the price paid by you for the book and for shipping. Our total, aggregate liability in that case (whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise) is limited to that refund.

Specification

Details of the finished book — including extent, format, binding, and contents — are indicative and not yet final. They will be finalised before printing. We will notify you of any material change to the book as described at the time of your reservation, and you may cancel for a refund prior to dispatch if you are not happy with it. Please see our refund policy for details on this.

Price

Your price for the book is fixed at the amount paid when you reserved it. If the retail price rises before publication, you will not be charged more. If it falls, we are not obliged to refund the difference.

Your numbered copy

Copies will be numbered and allocated in the order reservations are received. We will confirm your number before dispatch. Numbers cannot be chosen or exchanged.

Cancellation

By you: You may cancel your reservation at any time before dispatch, for a full refund (including shipping). See our refund policy for details on this.

By us: We may cancel a reservation and refund you in full where the book does not proceed to publication, where there has been a pricing or listing error, where we suspect fraud, or where we cannot reasonably fulfil the reservation. Our total, aggregate liability in that case (whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise) is limited to refunding what you paid for the reservation and shipping.

Delays and events outside our control

Publication timing is an estimate only. We are not liable for delays caused by editorial, production or printing schedules, or by any other events outside our control. Where a delay becomes material, we will notify you in writing and you may, within 30 days of such notice, cancel for a refund of the price paid by you for the book and for shipping.

Transferring your reservation

Reservations are personal to the purchaser. If you wish to transfer your reservation to someone else, contact us and we will try to accommodate it, but we are not obliged to.

Intellectual property

All content in the book and on this store, including the NBR name and trade marks, remains the property of NBR or its licensors. A purchase does not transfer any intellectual property rights whatsoever.

Limitation of liability

To the extent maximum permitted by law, our total, aggregate liability in connection with any reservation (whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise) is limited to the amount you paid for the reservation and for shipping.

Nothing in these terms limits your applicable rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986.

New Zealand law applies and the New Zealand courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction.
