| OUR SERVICES TO YOU |
PC CENTRAL Online is a secure and privileged web site setup to provide ULTIMATE
SUPPORT to PC CENTRAL CLIENTS.
For this reason Client access is by invitation only and some site areas
and services are restricted and are subject to additional terms and
conditions. We can refuse to grant you access to restricted services
without giving a reason for such refusal. |
| DOMESTIC,GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS USE |
These terms
and conditions apply to Business, Government and Private use of our
site and services. If you are not acquiring our services for the purposes
of a business (as defined in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993) then
the Act applies and nothing in these terms and conditions limits your
rights under it. |
| WHAT WE PROVIDE TO YOU |
We agree to provide restricted services to you on the following basis.
If you
are an existing client we will provide you with identification Login
and password code to enable access to our service. We will make genuine
and commercially reasonable efforts to make the services you have registered
for available to you 24 hours a day (other than on a permanent connection
basis) and, if the system malfunctions, to restore those services as
soon as reasonably possible.
But if in spite of those efforts, we cannot provide or restore the service
(even if the failure is our fault) we are not liable to you. We explain
what this means in the section entitled "Limits on our Liability".
The reasons for these limits on our service levels are because: We wish
to protect the rights of our clients to exclusive access and ultimate
support.
We do not own or control all the facilities and communication lines
necessary for access, and therefore, we cannot guarantee that the service
will be uninterrupted or error free.
You may use our services for purposes we do not know about and have
no control over. |
| YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES |
We provide
a passive interconnection web site and service. We do not own or control
the various links to other sites or offerings available through the
Internet or the facilities and information line through which access
is provided. In using our online services you agree to the following:
You will maintain the security of your accounts and password. You agree
to change your password when requested to do so by us.
As we do not own or control all of the various facilities and communication
lines through which access may be provided to you, we are not responsible
for security.
You agree not to use the service to breach anyone else's rights or to
break the law. By way of example only, this means, without the owner's
clear permission, using our services to download or transfer any copyright
programs, files, picture, trade names, trade marks or brands, moving
images (such as cartoons, films or videos) or sound or music, or anything
else owned by someone else.
You agree that you will not cause or help to cause the security or integrity
of this or any other linked computer system to be compromised whether
by way of hacking, introducing harmful code or in any other way.
You agree to be a responsible citizen of the Internet. This means that
you must respect the privacy of other Internet users. You agree that
any messages you post to us will be posted in a spirit of good will
and not for advertising purposes. |
| EMAIL |
Our email
reply service is important to you and our other clients. As a condition
of your use of our email reply service you agree as follows:
You agree not to send multiple, unsolicited email (SPAM or UCE), to
us whether or not this is for business purposes. Generally, you agree
to obey the developing rules of Netiquette. These are the general rules
of good and considerate behaviour on the Internet as a world wide and
open community. Any failure to obey these rules will result in litigation.
If we consider the breach sufficiently serious (at our discretion) you
agree that we may disable your client access to our reply service without
liability to you. If you do not follow these rules and we are sued or
suffer loss you agree that we can recover our costs and losses directly
from you upon demand.
Email enables a rapid, immediate and widespread response. You must not
use the email service for communication, which are defamatory or contrary
to generally accepted community standards of behaviour or good taste.
While we do not intend to be a censor, we have the right, at our discretion,
to decide what those standards are and to review your use of our site
and services at any time and to take action accordingly against you
if we consider that you have breached these standards. If you defame
anyone through your use of the email reply service, you agree that we
have the right to recover all costs and losses incurred by us as a result
of your action from you directly upon demand. |
| CONFIDENTIALITY |
We each agree
that the Internet is a medium, which lacks consistent security and confidentiality,
and we have the right to check your use of the system.
We will take reasonable commercial efforts to protect your confidentiality.
However, you should assume that your use of our services is not confidential.
If we consider in our discretion that your use of our services is defamatory,
contrary to accepted community standards or illegal you acknowledge
that we have the right to disclose those activities to any person including
the news media and the police.
We can check your use of the system for the purposes of ensuring that
your use is not breaching these terms and conditions or for assessing
any charges which may be payable by you. |
| USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION |
If you are
an individual, when you complete your application for client registration
of our online purchasing services you authorize us and our agents to
collect information about you and hold it at our head office. We will
use this information for statistical analysis and to provide services
to you and for marketing, private development and research purposes.
You authorize us and our agents to supply and disclose personal information
as to your credit-worthiness. Personal information about you may be
used to enable us, our agents and third parties selected by us to access,
maintain, investigate or market products or services. Under the provisions
of theNew Zealand Privacy Act 1993 you may request access to and correction
of your personal information. Requests must be in writing, which includes
email. We may charge a fee for the reasonable costs incurred in responding
to these requests but we will disclose the costs to you before those
costs are incurred. |
| OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN DO |
We can terminate
your client registration access to any of the PC CENTRAL site areas
or services that you have registered for without notice or liability
to you if you breach these terms and conditions.
Client use of our site areas and services may sometimes result in overload.
We have the right to share services amongst all clients on a fair basis
by automatically disconnecting any user after 2 hours of continuous
or cumulative use during peak times, to be determined at our discretion.
If you are disconnected for this reason you will be able to reconnect
without penalty. |

or remove any of these terms and conditions at any time. These changes
include alterations to our site areas, services and or product pricing

service will be uninterrupted or error-free. We do not make any warranties
to the results to be obtained from the service or information or the
experiences had with the Internet, which is a matter of your own assessment
