Terms & Conditions

Use of our website

Welcome to our website. If you continue to browse and use this website you are agreeing to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions of use (Terms of Trade), which together with our privacy policy govern Simple Cabins Limited’s relationship with you in relation to this website. If you do not accept these terms and conditions, then you must refrain from using this website.

The term “Simple Cabins Limited” (SCL), “our”, “us” or “we” refers to the owner of the website, whose registered office is 15 Robe Street, New Plymouth Central, New Plymouth 4310. The term “you” or “your” refers to the user of this page and/or viewer of our website.

Application

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties, these terms of trade will apply to any goods and services supplied by the supplier and to any financial transactions between the parties.

Third-party links

Certain content, products and services available via our service may include materials from third parties. Third-party links on this site may direct you to third-party websites that are not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy, and we do not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or websites, or for any other materials, products or services of third parties.

We are not liable for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, services, resources, content or any other transactions made in connection with any third-party websites. Please review carefully the third party’s policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns or questions regarding third-party products should be directed to the third party.

Deposits and payment

The supplier will retain full ownership of all goods supplied until such time as the purchase price has been paid in full.

Before ordering any materials we require a deposit of 50%, or as specified, plus GST. Our bank account details are provided on your invoice — please use the name or invoice number in the reference fields. If we have not issued an invoice yet, you will be issued a tax invoice or receipt immediately on receipt of your deposit payment.

The customer will not attempt to withhold payment or any part thereof by way of off-setting a counterclaim or otherwise in respect of warranty claims which the customer has made or intends to make. Progress payments may be required on commencement of installation.

We are a small family-run business, our margins are low, and so to reduce the cash flow issues that every business faces in these challenging times, we have a strict “nothing leaves the yard unless paid in full” policy.

Cabin delivery and transport

Delivery costs are not included in any quotation unless specifically noted.

Where a Hiab or crane is required to complete your delivery, or to lift the unit onto piles, the hire cost will be charged to the customer. We need to know at the time of placing your order if you require lifting — for example, if the unit is going onto piles or over a house or fence. We do not have our own Hiabs or cranes. For some difficult deliveries, professional traffic management may be required and the cost will be on-charged to the customer.

Warranty

The supplier complies with the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and any additional product guarantees provided by suppliers of components to the supplier, or as specified in the quotation. The supplier is not responsible for damage due to failure to maintain the goods by the customer or third parties. In business-to-business transactions the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 will not apply.

The supplier warrants that it will use reasonable care in the performance of any work performed pursuant to the supply. The customer agrees that any claims made in respect of such workmanship will be lodged with the supplier within twenty-four (24) months of the date of such work or will be regarded as invalid.

The supplier warrants that the goods supplied will be to the specifications on the quotation, or as amended and agreed by the customer on the supplier’s order confirmation. The supplier’s liability is limited to supplying goods as specified, and no claims can be made for consequential loss or other costs incurred by the customer.

Cancellation

If the customer cancels the order after the acceptance of the quotation or order confirmation, the customer will be responsible for an administration fee together with the full cost of the goods, or such part of the goods for which the supplier has committed to pay.

Timing

The supplier will endeavour to deliver the order on the date specified in the quotation or order confirmation, but no penalty in any form will apply if, for any reason whatsoever, a specified date is not met.

Pricing and estimates

Any pricing estimate that you receive from us is valid for 15 days only.

When working with you, your project may involve a number of parties and there may be changes to your plans before they are finalised. Any quote we give you is based on initial discussions and the plans or sketches you provided to us, and where there is a large difference in the quantities of materials for your project due to additional changes you make, you accept that you will be charged fairly for those changes.

Referrals and recommendations

We make referrals and recommendations for other supplier services and products in good faith, normally based on positive feedback. However, if we refer a service or product supplier to you and you engage or buy from them, we are not responsible for any workmanship, damages or product faults. It is your responsibility to do your due diligence with that business, as you would with any other business.

Disclaimer

Simple Cabins Limited does not accept any responsibility or liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damage, or for any loss of profit or income or any intangible losses, or any claims, costs, expenses or damage, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), equity or otherwise, arising directly or indirectly from or connected with your use of this website or any linked website, or your reliance on information contained in or accessed through this website, or the online purchase of goods, including the failure of any order to be processed or any goods to be delivered.
