is subject to a creative commons license that permits your use; or
your use is permitted by an applicable exception or limitation under New Zealand Copyright Law.

In using any content from this Website, you are solely responsible and liable for ensuring you comply with this clause 7 and New Zealand Copyright Law. A failure to comply with this clause 7 and/or New Zealand Copyright Law in relation to content on our Website will be treated as a breach of these Terms.
To the extent permitted by law, we and our licensors (including the providers of our Website platform and Underlying Systems) have no liability or responsibility to you or any other person for any Loss in connection with:
the Website being unavailable (in whole or in part) or performing slowly;
any error in, or omission from, any information made available through the Website;
any exposure to viruses or other forms of interference which may damage your computer system or expose you to fraud when you access or use the Website. To avoid doubt, you are responsible for ensuring the process by which you access and use the Website protects you from this; and
any site linked from the Website. Any link on the Website to other sites does not imply any endorsement, approval or recommendation of, or responsibility for, those sites or their contents, operations, products or operators.
We make no representation or warranty that the Website is appropriate or available for use in all countries or that the content satisfies the laws of all countries. You are responsible for ensuring that your access to and use of the Website is not illegal or prohibited, and for your own compliance with applicable local laws.
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
you access and use the Website at your own risk; and
we are not liable or responsible to you or any other person for any Loss under or in connection with these Terms, the Website, or your access and use of (or inability to access or use) the Website. This exclusion applies regardless of whether our liability or responsibility arises in contract, tort (including negligence), equity, breach of statutory duty, or otherwise.
Except to the extent permitted by law, nothing in these Terms has the effect of contracting out of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or any other consumer protection law that cannot be excluded. To the extent our liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, our liability is limited to NZD100.
To the maximum extent permitted by law and only to the extent clauses 8.1 and 8.2 of these Terms do not apply, our total liability to you under or in connection with these Terms, or in connection with the Website, or your access and use of (or inability to access or use) the Website, must not exceed NZD100.
When you provide personal information to us, we will comply with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.
Our Website’s Privacy Policy (which forms part of these Terms) explains what personal information we collect, and how we collect, use and share your personal information. You consent to our collection, use and sharing of your personal information as specified in our Website’s Privacy Policy.
You have the right to request access to and correction of any of the personal information we hold about you. If you would like to exercise these rights, or you have questions or comments about our Website’s Privacy Policy, please email us at research@tauranga.govt.nz.
Without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to us, if we consider that you have breached these Terms or we otherwise consider it appropriate, we may immediately, and without notice, suspend or terminate your account/User ID and access to the Website (or any part of it).
On suspension or termination, you must immediately cease using the Website and must not attempt to gain further access or register for another account/User ID.
If we need to contact you, we may do so by email or by posting a notice on the Website. You agree that this satisfies all legal requirements in relation to written communications.
These Terms, and any dispute relating to these Terms or the Website, are governed by and must be interpreted in accordance with the laws of New Zealand. Each party submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of New Zealand in relation to any dispute connected with these Terms or the Website.
For us to waive a right under these Terms, the waiver must be in writing.
Clauses which, by their nature, are intended to survive termination of these Terms, including clauses 4.7 (your indemnity to us), 6 (Intellectual Property), 8 (Disclaimers), 9 (Liability), and 12 (General), continue in force.
If any part or provision of these Terms is or becomes illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, that part or provision is deemed to be modified to the extent required to remedy the illegality, unenforceability or invalidity. If a modification is not possible, the part or provision must be treated for all purposes as severed from these Terms. The remainder of these Terms will be binding on you.
These Terms set out everything agreed by the parties relating to your use of the Website and supersede and cancel anything discussed, exchanged or agreed prior to you agreeing to these Terms. The parties have not relied on any representation, warranty or agreement relating to the Website that is not expressly set out in the Terms, and no such representation, warranty or agreement has any effect from the date you agreed to these Terms.
