General
These Conditions of Use shall prevail over any terms contained in any order or offer made by the buyer or any document used by the buyer (which shall have no effect).

Ordering
The seller's website, the information on it and any information in emails constitute an invitation to treat and not an offer to supply products. When the buyer orders products from the seller, this constitutes an offer from the buyer to buy those products in accordance with these Conditions of Use. The sellers acceptance of the buyers order occurs (and the contract is formed) when the goods are dispatched to the buyer.

Order Process
The buyer may order products from the seller by completing and submitting the checkout process on the seller's website. The buyer must provide all required information (including name, email address, and payment details) or the seller may not be able to process the buyers order.

Shipping
There is no minimum purchase for online orders.

Shipping costs range from $3.50 to $10.90 even if the order is only $1. Please see Delivery Information for details and exact pricing options. Orders received before 12pm will make the evening courier, any orders placed after that will be on the next earliest morning courier and overnight shipping is from then. Please allow for 2-3 days if you order is made after 12pm daily. All orders couriered on Friday's should arrive Tuesday unless you pay for Saturday delivery (please contact us if your require this).

The Sellers Discretion in Rejecting Orders
No order shall be deemed accepted by the seller until the seller has sent the buyers order. The seller reserves the exclusive right to accept or reject (for any reason whatsoever and in whole or in part) any order submitted by the buyer. If the seller rejects the buyers order (or part of the order), any money paid by the buyer in relation to the rejected part of that order shall be refunded and the seller shall have no further liability to the buyer in relation to the rejected part of that order.

Prices
Except where specifically stated in relation to a particular product, the prices for the products are stated and are payable in New Zealand dollars ($NZD). Any currency conversion will take place online at the rate applicable at the time of purchase.

Gift Vouchers
Gift vouchers will not be exchanged and are not subject to returns for credit or refunds. Gift vouchers cannot be used to buy more gift vouchers. The seller will not replace a gift card that is lost or stolen after being received. Gift vouchers are valid for 1 year from date of purchase.

Availability and Cancellation
All orders are subject to the availability of products. If for any reason a product is not available, the seller will endeavour to notify the non-availability on this website. The seller may revise the range of products or the specification of any product at any time and without notice to the buyer.

Cancellation of Orders
Where products are listed on the seller's website with an incorrect price or with incorrect information, the seller reserves the right to cancel the buyers order (regardless of whether the buyer has made payment for that order). Where the buyer has already made payment for an order that is subsequently cancelled by the seller, the seller will refund the amount paid by the buyer in relation to that order.

The seller may cancel the buyer's order any time prior to our order confirmation. Any variation, waiver or cancellation of the buyer's order shall have no effect unless accepted in writing by the seller. Where the seller accepts cancellation the seller may levy a handling charge of up to 15% of the price.

Unfortunately we are unable to accept a return if you've simply changed your mind or no longer want the item. SauceNation is fully committed to protecting your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act if you have any questions please contact us.

Delivery
Once the seller has confirmed acceptance of the buyer's order, the seller will endeavour to dispatch the buyer's order within 1-2 business days unless a different time frame is specified in relation to a particular product. If the seller is unable to dispatch the buyer's order within the time frame specified the seller will endeavour to contact the buyer and advise the buyer of the expected dispatch date.

The seller reserves the right to dispatch the buyer's order in one delivery or by instalments. Failure to deliver any instalment shall not entitle the buyer to repudiate the contract as to any instalments already delivered. The buyer may cancel any undelivered instalments up until the instalment is confirmed.

Any quotations of delivery times by the seller are made in good faith but are estimates and the seller shall not be bound by such quotation and the seller will not be liable for any loss, expense, or other damage caused by any delay in delivery.

The buyer may specify delivery instructions for an order (for example, the buyer may authorise the delivery agent to leave the products in a specified location if the buyer will not be at the delivery address). The seller will not be responsible for any order that is delivered in accordance with the buyers delivery instructions.

New Zealand law requires all international packages to have attached customs documentation, which describes the goods being sent and their cost.

Shortages, Damages or Loss in Transit - Liability for shortages in the quantity of goods delivered is limited to making up the shortages. Where the buyer believes that there is a shortage in the quantity of products delivered, the buyer must notify the seller of any such claim within 7 days of delivery and must provide the seller with a reasonable opportunity to investigate that claim.

All orders delivered within New Zealand are insured against damage or loss during transit up to the value of NZ$1500. All orders delivered using the New Zealand Post International Air service are insured against loss or damage up to the value of NZ$250, and the buyer can optionally purchase additional insurance cover up to the value of NZ$1500. The seller will not accept any liability for loss or damage in transit that exceeds the value of the loss or damage insurance applying to that delivery.

Goods leaving the seller's premises are adequately packed. Claims for damage or loss in transit must be made against the carrier in the prescribed manner:

Prior to acknowledging delivery to the carrier the buyer must ensure that the complete consignment as per the carrier's note has been received. Should there be a shortage or visible damage to outer packaging the carrier's note must be endorsed accordingly. Within 7 days of receipt of consignment the buyer must ensure that all goods received are in good order and condition.

No damage claims will be considered after 7 days of receipt of goods. While no liability for goods damaged or lost in transit will be accepted by the seller details of any claim should be advised to the seller.

Return of Goods for Credit or Refund Goods supplied in accordance with the buyer's order can only be returned with the express approval of the seller.

Please refer to the Returns Policy to see what is covered.

Liability and Maintenance Guarantee
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the seller disclaims all warranties, representations, and guarantees (whether, express, implied, or statutory), with respect to any product or any information supplied to the buyer by the seller including, but not limited to, warranties of availability, accuracy, non-infringement, completeness, timeliness, currency, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the sellers liability to the buyer (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) for any loss, damage, or injury arising from any defect in, or non-compliance of, a product supplied to the buyer by the seller shall be limited to the price paid by the buyer for that product.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the seller will not be liable (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) for any loss of profits, or any indirect, incidental, consequential, or economic loss or damage (howsoever caused), which you may directly or indirectly suffer in connection with the buyers access to, use of, or reliance upon, any product or any information supplied to the buyer by the seller.

The seller's liability under this contract and the warranty in this clause is confined to the buyer named in this contract, it being agreed that the seller has no liability to any purchaser of the goods from the buyer in that the buyer's rights under the contract are not assignable without the prior written consent of the seller.

Errors or Ommissions
The seller is entitled at any time to correct all errors and omissions (whether clerical, computational or otherwise) in any advertising, quotation, invoice or acknowledgement. Due to the seller's administrative processes, errors (if any) may be discovered up to 30 days after the goods have been delivered to the buyer. The seller will notify they buyer promptly of any error or omission discovered by the seller, and give the buyer the option of returning the goods for a full refund.

Ownership and Risk
Ownership of all goods sold by the seller (the goods) is retained by the seller until until the buyer has received the full price for the products and the applicable delivery charges. This provision is designed to protect the seller in the event of the bankruptcy, receivership or liquidation of the buyer, a seizure of goods by a creditor of the buyer or default in payment.

Until full payment is made the buyer agrees to: Enable the goods to be readily identifiable as the property of the seller. Maintain the goods so supplied in good order and condition and to return the goods immediately if called upon to do so by the seller. On a sale or other realisation of the goods the buyer shall identify and separately account for the proceeds of sale.

Personal Property Securities Act 1999 - Until full payment has been received for the buyers order, the buyer acknowledges and agrees that: These Conditions of Use constitute a security agreement for the purposes of section 36 of the Personal Property Securities Act 1999; and a security interest is taken in all products previously supplied by the seller to the buyer (if any) and all goods that will be supplied in the future by the seller to the buyer (if any).

The seller undertakes to: Sign any further documents and provide any further information which the buyer may reasonably require to register a financing statement or financing change statement on the Personal Property Securities Register; indemnify the seller for all expenses incurred in registering a financing statement or financing change request on the Personal Property Securities Register or releasing any item charged thereby; not register a financing change statement or a change demand on the Personal Property Securities Register without our prior written consent; give the seller not less than 14 days' prior written notice of any proposed change in the buyer's name or any of the buyer's contact details.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the seller, the buyer waives their right to receive a verification statement in accordance with section 148 of the Personal Property Securities Act 1999.

Risk
Once the buyers order has been delivered to the buyer (or has otherwise been delivered in accordance with the buyer's delivery instructions), the buyer assumes full responsibility for and risk in the products.

The seller also relies on information from its suppliers and product manufacturers and therefore the descriptions, illustrations and literature are not binding on the seller.

Force Majeure
The seller shall not be liable to the buyer for any loss or damage, directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with any delay in delivery of the goods, or failure to perform any term of this contract where such delay or failure is is outside the seller's reasonable control.

The seller reserves the right to change these Conditions of Use from time to time by publishing the changed terms on the seller's website. When revised Conditions of Use are published on this website, all orders submitted by the buyer after the revised Conditions of Use are published shall be subject to the revised Conditions of Use.

Severability
If any provision of these Conditions of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall, to the maximum extent possible, remain in full force and effect.

Disputes and Governing Law
Any claim or dispute arising hereunder shall be subject to arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Act 1996.

These Conditions of Use (and any contracts to which these Conditions of Use apply) shall be governed by the laws of New Zealand and the courts of New Zealand shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any dispute arising in relation to these Conditions of Use (and any contracts to which these Conditions of Use apply).

Health Information

Allergies
Please be advised that all products we currently sell are pre-packaged but the nature of our working environment does not allow us to test for allergies. Even with products where the manufacturer's advice is that the product is allergy free we cannot guarantee that there was no exposure to traces during our packaging.

Sugar Free, Gluten Free & Low Carbohydrate Diets
All sweets that are produced for people with specific dietary needs are listed with their ingredients within the product description. This information is provided by the Manufacturer and not by SauceNation.

Where a product is labelled by the manufacturer as suitable for Vegetarians or Gelatine Free this information will be displayed within each individual product description. This information is currently being updated as it is available. If the information is not currently listed, feel free to contact us about any products.

We stock shelf life items. Best by dates are put on by the manufacturers to advise you that the product is still good, but quality may decline. So please think about it before you buy!

While every effort is made to ensure that the Health info contained in this site is as accurate as possible, it is taken from the manufacturer and therefore we cannot guarantee any of the information. We would ask anyone with specific dietary requirements to exercise caution when ordering.
