Terms & Conditions

Welcome to our Website. Your access to and use of our internet site is subject to the following notices, disclaimers, terms and conditions. These terms and conditions apply in addition to any Other Agreement you may currently have with us and may be changed at any time and any such changes will be notified on the website.

The content and information on this Website is provided for information purposes as a brochure site only and is presented in good faith and believed to be correct as at the date on which it is prepared/post. Nothing contained in the Website should be construed as a recommendation to use any particular Product in the range of Products or that any particular Product complies with all applicable laws and regulations relating to the importation, delivery, transportation nature, labelling, storage, offer for sale, marketing, installations, safety and use of the Products or any other legal requirements in any country. Neither Louvretec NZ Limited nor its subsidiaries or affiliates (“Louvretec”) make any warranties or representations about such matters or the accuracy or completeness of the Website, its content or the content of any website "hypertext linked" to or from the Website. To the extent permitted by law, we reserve the right, but make no binding commitment, to update or correct the terms and conditions and information contained in the Website at any time, without notice. Louvretec has appointed dealers and distributors through-out the world and any enquiries relating to the sale of Products in a dealer’s/distributor’s territory will be referred to and dealt with by that dealer/distributor direct. That dealer/distributor is responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations affecting the manufacturing, sale, packaging and labelling of the Products in that dealer’s /distributor’s Territory. Louvretec holds and assumes no responsibility for such matters. Where an enquiry is received from a customer where there is no dealer/distributor operating then Louvretec will use all reasonable endeavours to respond to such enquiry but can assume no responsibility for providing any information relating to any matter in respect of legal compliance outside of New Zealand and therefore makes no warranty or representation that the information complies with any laws, rules, regulations, procedures, codes or governmental directives, outside of the jurisdiction of New Zealand. If you choose to access the Website from outside of New Zealand, you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws.
