Terms and Conditions

Tide information and disclaimer.

Our tide information is based on data supplied by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ), a Crown entity.

We take reasonable care when preparing our products, but predictions can change when LINZ updates the tidal constituents and harmonics used to calculate them. This can create differences between editions, products, or other sources. Later revisions are outside our control.

Copyright.

The information, graphics, and designs on this website and in our printed products are protected by copyright law. You must not reproduce, copy, republish, broadcast, or store them for redistribution without the written permission of OceanFun Publishing, Limited, except where the law permits. Email office@ofu.co.nz if you would like permission to use our material.

Orders, pricing, and payment.

Prices are shown and charged in New Zealand dollars (NZD). Prices for delivery within New Zealand include Goods and Services Tax (GST). Your bank or card provider may charge its own fees.

The website sends your cart to Shopify for checkout. Shopify processes payment and provides OceanFun with the order and customer details needed to fulfil the order. OceanFun does not receive or store your full card number.

An automated order confirmation records that we received your order. If a product is unavailable or a material price or description error occurred, we will contact you and provide an appropriate refund where payment has already been taken.

Delivery.

We aim to dispatch stock orders within three working days. Delivery time after dispatch depends on the postal service and destination. We will contact you if an order is materially delayed.

Goods and services tax (GST).

Prices for orders delivered within New Zealand include GST at the applicable New Zealand rate. Shopify calculates and displays the order total at checkout. Contact us before placing an international order so that its GST treatment and total can be confirmed.

International orders.

International orders require prior arrangement. Email office@ofu.co.nz before ordering so that the destination, delivery charge, GST treatment, and any known import obligations can be confirmed.

Returns.

Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, the Fair Trading Act 1986, or other law that cannot be excluded. If a product is faulty, damaged in delivery, incorrectly supplied, or does not match its description, email office@ofu.co.nz with your order number and a description of the problem. We will provide the remedy required by law. If a confirmed fault or our error requires a return, we will reimburse reasonable return-postage costs.

For a change-of-mind return, email office@ofu.co.nz within 14 days after delivery. The item must be unused and in its original condition. If we accept the return, you are responsible for return postage and we will refund the product price after receiving and inspecting it; original delivery charges are not refunded. This voluntary change-of-mind policy does not restrict your statutory rights.

Please contact us before sending any return. We will provide return instructions and the return address to use.

Order cancellation.

To request cancellation before dispatch, email office@ofu.co.nz promptly with your name and order number. We will confirm by email whether the order could be cancelled and arrange any refund due. If the order has already been dispatched, the returns terms apply.

Privacy and Shopify.

When you place an order, Shopify runs the cart, checkout, and payment. Shopify receives the contact, billing, delivery, and payment details you enter, along with transaction and device information. Shopify processes some of this for us and may process some for its own services, as explained in Shopify's Consumer Privacy Policy.

OceanFun receives your contact and delivery details, what you ordered, and whether payment succeeded. We use this to process, deliver, support, cancel, or refund the order and to keep required business and tax records. We do not receive or store your full card number.

Shopify, our website and email providers, and postal or courier services help us run the shop and fulfil orders. Some of them may process information outside New Zealand. We remain responsible for the personal information we hold, take reasonable steps to protect it, and keep it only for as long as we need it to run the business or meet legal requirements. You may ask to access or correct it by emailing office@ofu.co.nz.

Read Shopify's Consumer Privacy Policy.

Severability.

In the event that any part of these terms and conditions will be determined to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable for any reason, then such terms and conditions will be severed from the remaining terms and conditions, which will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Governing law.

These terms and conditions are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand.
