Copyright and trademarks
The content of this website, including copyrights and trademarks, is the property of Active, our suppliers, or linked third parties.

Furthermore, you agree to indemnify Active against any claims, costs, damages, or losses incurred because of your failure to comply with this clause.
Advertisers and linked sites
The display of any advertiser on this website or the provision of links to third-party websites is not an endorsement by Active of the advertiser, third-party provider, or any of their website content or business practices. Since Active has no control over the content of third-party websites, accessing such websites is at your own risk. We recommend that you carefully review the terms and conditions of use and the privacy policies of any third-party website as soon as you access it. Active accepts no liability for any dealings, promotions, or activities between you and advertisers or third-party providers.
Specifications and information
The specifications and information provided on this website are presented in good faith, based on our knowledge, experience, and information supplied to Active by manufacturers, suppliers, or sources believed to be accurate at the time of receipt. However, if you have concerns about the suitability of the goods or services provided on this website, particularly about their use or fitness for a specific purpose, we recommend you contact Active or seek external professional advice. You acknowledge and accept that the colours displayed on the website may not accurately represent their true colour. This discrepancy may be influenced by factors such as the quality of images provided to us, or the settings, age, or quality of your monitor. If colour is a crucial factor in your decision-making, we recommend contacting Active before making a purchase.
Online ordering
The display of goods on this website does not guarantee their availability. All orders placed through this website are subject to confirmation of acceptance by Active. Orders for services are subject to confirmation of suitable time limits for the provision of services between you and Active.
Continuous service
Due to the inherent nature of websites, Active cannot guarantee uninterrupted or continuous availability of this website. You acknowledge that the website may be unavailable from time to time for maintenance or scheduled upgrades, without prior notice. Active accepts no liability for any downtime, whether scheduled or otherwise.
Termination of use
Active may terminate these terms and your access to the website at any time, at our sole discretion, without notice or providing a reason. In the event of termination under this clause, Active will have no liability whatsoever, including for any direct or consequential losses you may incur.
Jurisdiction
This website (excluding any linked third-party sites) is controlled by Active from our principal business premises in New Zealand. Our servers are in New Zealand, so your information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in New Zealand. The website can be accessed from countries around the world, as permitted. As each country may have laws differing from those of New Zealand, by accessing this website, you agree that the laws and statutes of New Zealand will apply to any dealings, actions, or claims arising out of, or in relation to, this agreement or your use of this website, regardless of any conflicting laws in your country of domicile. Additionally, Active or our subcontractors may use cloud technology to store or process personal information, which may involve storing data outside New Zealand. It is not practical to specify in advance which country will have jurisdiction over this offshore activity. However, all our subcontractors must comply with the New Zealand Privacy Act regarding the transfer or storage of personal information overseas. You further acknowledge and agree that any claim against Active must be filed in New Zealand, where our principal business premises are found, and that any legal proceedings will be conducted in English. We make no representation that goods or services offered through this website are appropriate, available, or suitable for use in countries outside of New Zealand. Accessing material or content from this website that is illegal in your country of domicile is strictly prohibited.
General
Active provides message boards for users; however, these message boards may not be used to promote websites or any commercial or business activities. We are not responsible for any opinions expressed on the message boards. By posting a message, you agree to take full legal responsibility and liability for your comments, including any offensive or defamatory statements. Feedback provided on the website is intended to facilitate trading between users and Active. Feedback about other parties must not contain offensive, defamatory, retaliatory, or inappropriate language or content. Active reserves the right to remove any feedback considered offensive, defamatory, retaliatory, or inappropriate. Feedback must relate to a specific transaction and cannot be posted for transactions unrelated to that specific interaction. You must not post feedback about yourself or include contact details or personal information. Neither party shall be liable for any default due to circumstances beyond reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, strike, lock-out, industrial action, fire, flood, storm, or other unforeseen events. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of these terms and conditions shall not be considered a waiver of that provision, nor shall it affect that party’s right to enforce it later. If any provision of these terms and conditions is considered invalid, void, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. Active shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss or expense (including loss of profit) arising from a breach of these terms and conditions. Our liability is limited to damages, which shall not exceed the fee for the goods or services involved.
