Prices, Specifications and Availability

Prices shown on the website can be adjusted to show inc GST, using the toggle at the top of the website. In addition, Restaurant Equipment Online offers a Price Match Promise which applies to any lower published price for a like-for-like product offered on the same terms in New Zealand. Like-for-like means the goods should be the same brand and specification. The goods must be offered with the same delivery service and the same or equivalent warranty as ours. The competitor must have stock availability at the time of ordering. The price will not be matched where there are ‘hidden extras’ such as delivery charges. In order to qualify, the price must be published in writing on the competitor's website.

Restaurant Equipment Online reserves the right to update prices and specifications at any time without notice. We make great efforts to ensure the prices and specifications of our goods are as accurate and as up to date as possible. However the availability can change rapidly. We therefore accept no liability should any of the goods become unavailable.

Handling and Freight

Handling and freight is calculated in addition to the price of the goods, and costs are based on the aggregate order being shipped (unless otherwise stated on the product selected) and the destination to which the goods are being dispatched in New Zealand.

For overseas shipments and some larger items, we will need to quote you on the cost of handling and freight. Please call for details, we cannot take international orders on the website.

Risk and Title

REO retains ownership of the Products until payment is received in full from a Customer and the Product is dispatched to the Customer.

The Customer must inspect items delivered within 24 hours and contact REO by email if there are any transit damages, before products are assembled and packaging discarded. Otherwise, the customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods and will not be compensated for the Goods on the basis that they were lost, incomplete or damaged in transit.

The Customer accepts upon Delivery all risk for loss or damage to the Products whether caused by the Customer or not, and the Customer indemnifies REO against all claims, demands, suits and actions for loss or damage caused by or arising from the handling, transport, storage, display, installation, neglect or use of the Products after the Customer has taken possession of the Products. Risk in the Products will remain with the Customer at all times after Delivery.

Customer Warranties and Indemnities

If you acquire or hold yourself out as acquiring for the purposes of a business any goods or services to which these Terms and Conditions apply, the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (New Zealand) will not apply to our supply of such goods or services.

In these circumstances the only warranty offered by Restaurant Equipment Online other than as required by New Zealand law (express or implied, or otherwise) is a 12 month warranty for manufacturing faults and you will indemnify us against any failure by you or your customers to properly contract out of liability to business end consumers under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (New Zealand).

Our total liability to you in relation to any faulty goods or services is limited to the price of those goods or services. We will not, in any case, be liable for any consequential or special damages, including loss of business profits.

It should be noted that warranties applicable in New Zealand do not extend beyond those shores.

Risk and Ownership of the Goods

Risk in the goods will pass to you, the customer, upon delivery to you or to the address specified by you. Pending cleared payment in full of all monies due under this contract or in respect of any other monies owed by you to Restaurant Equipment Online the goods will remain the sole and absolute property of Restaurant Equipment Online as legal and equitable owner.
