Terms of Sale

Orders

  1. Legal Research reserves the right to accept or decline, in whole or in part, any order placed by You. In such instances, Legal Research will refund the Contract Price to You by depositing the full amount onto Your credit card within one month of the initial purchase.
  2. You will pay all relevant freight and delivery charges in respect of the delivery of the Goods. Where applicable, this price will be added to the Contract Price prior to purchase.
  3. Subject to clauses 19 to 21 and stock availability, Legal Research will endeavour to dispatch orders received for purchases of hard copy books, issues of the New Zealand Law Review, and all other Goods requiring physical delivery within:
  4. Five Business Days for New Zealand addresses; and
  5. Ten Business Days for all other international addresses.

Delivery

  1. Subject to clause 5, all Goods will be delivered by the carrier nominated by Legal Research at Legal Research's absolute discretion to the place nominated by You.
  2. Delivery shall be made by the route and method Legal Research considers appropriate to the place indicated on the order form, or if no place of delivery is specified, delivery shall be made at Legal Research's premises and shall take place at the time when the Goods are made available for dispatch at Legal Research's premises. If You fail or refuse, or indicate to Legal Research that You will fail or refuse, to take or accept delivery, then the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered when Legal Research was willing to deliver them.
  3. Any request by You for urgent dispatch or a more expensive delivery method or route will be at Legal Research's absolute discretion. Legal Research reserves the right to charge an additional fee of an amount determined by Legal Research at its sole discretion to meet that delivery request.
  4. Non-receipt of any of the Goods must be notified within 15 days of the date of purchase; otherwise, credit for such Goods will not be allowed.
  5. Legal Research reserves the right to deliver the Goods by instalments, and each instalment shall be deemed to be a Contract. Should Legal Research fail to deliver or make defective delivery of one or more instalments, this shall not entitle You to vary your initial order.
  6. Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies which it may have, Legal Research may charge storage and transportation expenses if You fail or refuse to take or accept delivery, or indicate to Legal Research that You will fail or refuse to take or accept delivery at the time specified in the Contract or at any other time that Legal Research is able to deliver the Goods.
