10.1 Events outside our control: We are not required to carry out any of our obligations, and will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from not carrying out such obligations, if it is not reasonably practicable for us to do so because of an event outside our control.

10.2 Privacy Act: The information collected by us about you may be "personal information" for the purposes of the Privacy Act 1993. Under the Privacy Act, an individual has the right to request access to, and correction of, this "personal information". You can contact us directly to request such access or correction. By completing the application form, you agree to allow us to send you further information on goods and services and related products from us, and occasionally offers on similar products from other companies and businesses, unless you notify us that you do not want to receive these.

Additional terms and conditions for pre-payment facilities

These terms and conditions for pre-payment facilities are additional to the NZ Post Collectables customer terms and conditions (the "customer terms and conditions"). By using our pre-payment facilities, you agree to be bound by all these terms and conditions.

1. Credits: You may pre-pay us for purchases of goods and services by such methods as we may notify from time to time. These may include, for example, overpayments for goods and services that you instruct us not to refund but to hold and apply to future purchases. We will keep a record of the balance of the amounts you have prepaid and not yet spent on purchases. Amounts will only be credited to your pre-payment balance once the funds have cleared.

2. Refunds: Amounts you pre-pay may only be used to purchase goods and services from us. However, you may request us to refund your pre-payment balance by contacting us directly. Under no circumstances will we consider refund requests unless we are satisfied on reasonable grounds that the request was made by you or someone authorised by you. As we cannot guarantee refunds, you should only pre-pay us amounts that you think you will spend on goods and services from us.

3. Interest and security: Pre-payment balances do not receive any interest, and are not secured or guaranteed.
