General Terms of Use
Terms
We will supply goods to you on these terms only (as we may amend them from time to time). The only circumstance where any variation to these service terms will apply is where we have expressly agreed in writing to that variation or where we have notified you of amended service terms on the website. If there is any conflict with other terms of trade, these service terms will take priority over any other terms of trade.
You must be over 18 years old, have a valid billing address and hold a valid credit card to order any products from The Parenting Place online shop.
Information about your purchase history can be found under “My Account” when you are logged in to The Parenting Place online shop.
Prices
Our current prices are set out on the website, but are subject to change and we may alter prices at any time without notification. The price for goods is that stated on the website at the time when we accept any order, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by us. All prices include goods and services tax (“GST”).
Postage and packaging is added at point of sale - we reserve the right to adjust our shipping rates at any time.
Payment
When you purchase goods from us, you will be issued an online invoice. You will be required to pay such invoice immediately by credit card in order to complete your order. You will not withhold payment or make any deductions from any amount you owe us under any circumstances whatsoever.
Product availability
We will make every effort to ensure that products appearing in and/or purchased by you from the website are available, but we cannot guarantee that all items will be in stock or immediately available when you submit your order. At such times we reserve the right to cancel any order. In the event of any cancelled order, payments that have been processed will be refunded as soon as practicable, but in any event within a reasonable timeframe.
Returns and refunds
There are no exchanges or refunds on ticket purchases.
If you are not happy with the goods you have purchased then you may return them to us within seven days from the date of receipt. A gift voucher or exchange will be given to the value of the product being returned.
A copy of the original invoice must accompany the return of goods. Failure to provide this copy will result in an unprocessed return. Returns should be sent to:
Parenting Place Attention: Dispatch PO Box 37708 Parnell Auckland 1151
We reserve the right to refuse to exchange or refund goods that are returned in less than “new” condition. Goods will be returned to you via economy mail if they are not eligible for a refund. We will not refund the cost of postage in returning any goods to us, and you agree that you will be liable for postage to return any exchanged items back to you.
International delivery
We’re based in New Zealand but we can deliver all round the world. Postage and packaging will be automatically calculated when you reach the checkout.
Please note that our stated prices exclude any import duties (including customs tariffs and VAT/GST). The governments of the destination country determine whether any such duties or taxes are charged on the import of the products into the country. These duties and taxes greatly vary by country, type of product being imported and where the product was manufactured. If you are an international customer you might have to pay some additional applicable taxes or duty charges upon the import of your delivery. You will be responsible for the payment of any such taxes and duties as well as attending to any customs formalities involved in clearing the goods for import, so please check this with your local customs agency.
Parent Coaching - Rescheduling and Cancellations
Once you have booked an appointment with one of our Parent Coaches, we have reserved time in our schedule exclusively for you. If you cancel or reschedule your appointment less than 24 hours before it is scheduled to take place, you will be subject to pay the full cost of your appointment. If you cancel or reschedule your appointment with less than 48 hours notice, you may be subject to a $35 rebooking fee. This can be used against any future bookings.
To avoid a cancellation fee, please provide cancellation notice at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. You can cancel or reschedule an appointment by emailing us at support@parentingplace.nz, via the login link in your confirmation email, or by calling our team on 0800 535659.
Promotional codes
Promotional codes entered at the website checkout are on the full retail price of books and resources purchased online during a specified period. Promotional code offers do not apply to books and resources already discounted or to gift vouchers, magazine subscriptions, family coach sessions and other events or the cost of postage. Promotional code offers cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.
