1. About these Terms. These terms and conditions (these “Terms”) apply to the purchase and sale of products through Philips Hue website or Philips Hue app (collectively, the “Site”) for delivery in New Zealand. These Terms are subject to change by the above-referenced Signify Entity (“Signify”) without prior written notice at any time, in Signify’s sole discretion. Any changes to these Terms will only be applicable to orders made after such changes. You should review these Terms prior to purchasing any product that are available through the Site.

You should carefully review Signify’s Privacy Notice before placing an order for products through this Site (see section 10).

For Philips Hue products, your access and use of software embedded in such products, your access and use of the app to be downloaded to your smartphone or tablet, and services and features accessible for such products through the Site are on the terms and conditions of the applicable Terms of Use of the Philips Hue product (as available via the app).

2. Placing your order. When you place an order, a valid, binding and enforceable contract governed by these Terms is created between you and Signify. Signify will send you an email acknowledging receipt of your order with your order number and details of the items you have ordered.

While Signify will make every effort to supply you with the products listed on Signify’s order confirmation, there may be occasions where Signify is unable to supply the products because, for example, (i) such products are no longer being manufactured or are out of stock or not currently available, (ii) Signify is unable to source relevant components or (iii) there was a pricing error. In such circumstances Signify will contact you and may suggest alternative products that you might wish to purchase (at the same or different price). In the event of a pricing error, Signify will communicate the correct price to you. If you do not accept Signify’s proposed substitution or the price modification, then Signify will cancel the order and refund any money that you may have paid to Signify in respect of the order.

3. Prices. All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on the Site are subject to change without notice. Prices are in local currency. The price charged for a product will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your invoice. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. However, prices may not include other applicable local taxes or duties, or charges for shipping. All such taxes and charges will be added to your merchandise total and will be itemized in your shopping cart prior to purchase and in your order confirmation email. Signify strives to display accurate price information, however Signify may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability. Signify reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time. If paying by credit card, the total amount for your entire order will be reflected on your statement in your local currency.

4. Paying for your products. Terms of payment are within Signify’s sole discretion and, unless otherwise agreed by Signify in writing, payment must be received by Signify at the time you place your order. You may pay for your products by the methods of payment as may be provided as payment options during checkout. You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you supply to Signify is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices as described in Section 3, above. However, depending on the credit card used for payment, there might be an international transaction fee up to 3% of order value.

Payment facilitation. Signify has contracted with Luzern Technology Solutions Limited, a third-party service provider, to perform certain services related to payment processing, including card processing, currency exchange, identity verification, fraud analysis, and regulatory compliance. Accordingly, Signify may provide your personal or transactional information with this third-party service provider when necessary to perform such services. Such transfer of personal/transactional information will be governed by the Signify Privacy Notice as set forth in Section 10, below, and by the privacy notice of the third party service provider, which can be found here: https://luzern.co/privacy-policy/

5. Delivery of your products. Signify will arrange for shipment (but not installation) of the products to you. Please check the individual product page for specific delivery options. Signify may make partial shipments of your orders.

Title to your products will pass to you upon the later of (a) your payment to Signify or (b) our delivery of the products to you. Risk of loss and damage in your products will pass to you upon delivery of the products to you. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. Signify is not liable for any delays in shipments.

Signify uses a carrier for the delivery of the products. As soon as the carrier receives the products, Signify will send you an e-mail with a tracking number, so you can trace your delivery. Please note that at this moment we only deliver in the jurisdiction from which you have placed the order.

6. Your right to return the products. In addition to and without limiting any statutory return rights/cooling off periods, Signify will accept a return of the products (except for products designated on the Site as final sale or non-returnable) for a refund of your purchase price, provided such return is made in accordance within the applicable period specified in Signify’s Return Policy, available at: http://www.philips-hue.com/shopreturns with valid proof of purchase and provided such products are returned in their original condition. To initiate the return process, please visit the applicable information about returning your products located on the Site.

You are responsible for all shipping (except in case of major failures) and handling charges on returned items unless otherwise specified. You bear the risk of loss during shipment.

Your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the original purchase on the Site.

For defective returns, please refer to the manufacturer's warranty (see Section 7) included with the product or as detailed in the product's description on Signify’s Site.

7. Limited Warranty. SIGNIFY’S STANDARD PRODUCT WARRANTY IS IN ADDITION TO AND DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER.

Our goods come with guarantees that are in addition to, not in substitution of, the customer rights under the New Zealand Law (including its rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act, 1993 as modified from time to time). The benefits provided to the consumer by the warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies available to the consumer under the law.

In addition, but not in derogation of the preceding clause, Signify’s products are sold subject to an applicable standard limited warranty, either accompanying the product or as published on the Site as the standard warranty applicable for a product (the “Standard Product Warranty”). For any product that is sold by Signify that is not subject to an applicable Standard Product Warranty, Signify warrants that for two (2) years from delivery to you the product’s hardware components will be free from any defect in material or workmanship which causes the product to fail to operate substantially when used as directed and in accordance with the specifications provided by Signify, with consideration given to the overall performance of the product and based on up to 3 hours average working time per day/7 days per week. Signify does not provide any warranty for software elements in the products or third-party products.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Signify does not provide any warranty for third party products, software, applications or services. You acknowledge that certain end-user license agreements, terms of use, terms of service, or similar terms may limit the warranty period for any related or enabling software (including web or mobile applications).

Unless otherwise specified in the Standard Product Warranty, (i) if you have a valid claim under warranty, you shall promptly notify Signify prior to the end of the warranty period; (ii) if you have a valid warranty claim, Signify shall, within a reasonable time, at Signify’s own option, repair the product or offer a replacement product but in case of major failure- the customer may reject the goods and opt for a refund of price paid and relevant shipping charges; (iii) if, despite Signify’s reasonable efforts, a product cannot be repaired or replaced, Signify shall make an appropriate refund of monies paid by you for the purchase of the product in accordance with the law; (iv) repairs, replacements or remedies will not extend or renew the original warranty period; (v) replacement products supplied by Signify may have minor deviations in design and/or specifications which do not affect the functionality of replaced product; (vi) if your claim under warranty is not valid, you will bear the transport costs of the product returned; (vii) Signify’s warranty does not cover products not properly installed and not used in accordance with user manuals and other instructions from Signify. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will Signify be responsible for the costs associated with de-installation, removal or replacement of any product, including labor.

You acknowledge and agree that certain functionality of the products may rely upon the availability and correct functioning of third-party manufacturers and service providers, including connectivity and communication devices and services from providers and mobile operators. These are outside of Signify’s control and Signify has no responsibility or liability for performance (or lack thereof) of such third party services or devices.

8. Our Liability. Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude Signify’s liability for death or personal injury caused by Signify’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or for fraud.

Subject to such abovementioned liability, (i) Signify will not be liable for any loss of income, loss of profits, loss of contracts, loss of data or for any indirect, consequential, punitive, or special loss or damage of any kind (including attorney’s fees) howsoever arising and whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract or otherwise; and (ii) Signify’s maximum aggregate liability whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise shall in no circumstances exceed the amount payable by you to Signify in respect of the product(s) in question.

If you as a consumer have rights under mandatory consumer laws in the jurisdiction where you reside, then nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude Signify’s liability for breach of any term implied by statute.

9. Goods Not for Resale or Export. Certain transactions may be subject to export or import control laws and regulations that prohibit or restrict the (re)export or transfer of certain items to certain countries, entities or individuals, such as the laws and regulations of the UN, EU and US (“Export Regulations”). The (re)export or transfer of products are subject in all respects to the applicable Export Regulations and to the jurisdiction of the relevant authorities responsible for Export Regulations. If any such (re-)export or transfer requires an export or import license, or is otherwise prohibited or restricted under Export Regulations, Signify may, in Signify’s sole discretion, suspend Signify’s obligations to you until such license is granted or for the duration of any restrictions or prohibitions, or terminate (the relevant part of) the sale without incurring any liability.

12. Circumstances Beyond our Reasonable Control. Signify will make every effort to perform our obligations under an order confirmation.

In the event of a delay, Signify will perform its obligations as soon as reasonably possible.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms and any and all claims arising out of or related to these Terms, or your purchase of products pursuant to these Terms, are governed by the laws of New Zealand, notwithstanding your jurisdiction’s choice-of-law or conflict-of-laws principles.
