Terms & Conditions

Sweet Farewell Limited — Effective Date: 1 August 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions govern all supply of goods and services ("products") by Sweet Farewell Limited ("Sweet Farewell", "we", "us") to you, the purchaser, including your use of our website at sweetfarewell.co.nz ("the website").

By purchasing from us or using our website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

To make a purchase from our online shop, you must be 18 years of age or older. Purchases may only be made for personal use and not for resale. If you are purchasing on behalf of an organisation, you warrant that you are authorised to agree to these terms on its behalf.

2. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions at any time. Notice may be provided by posting updated terms on our website. Continued use of our website or services constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

3. General Conditions

Failure to enforce any term does not constitute a waiver of our rights.

If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.

These Terms do not confer benefits on any third party unless expressly stated.

Notices may be delivered to the email address you provide.

4. Pricing

All prices are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) and include GST, unless stated otherwise. Prices may change at any time. Delivery charges are additional and confirmed at checkout. An invoice will be emailed to the address you provide — you are responsible for ensuring your details are correct.

5. Availability & Supply

All orders are subject to product availability. If an item becomes unavailable, we will notify you as soon as possible.

6. Delivery

We deliver only to New Zealand street addresses. We will use reasonable endeavours to dispatch orders promptly. Risk passes to you upon delivery to the supplied address.

7. Product Information & Variations

Due to the handcrafted and memorial nature of our products:

  • Colours, textures, and finishes may vary naturally.
  • Sizes are approximate and may differ slightly between items.
  • Jewellery and urns are delicate memorial items and should be handled with care.

We endeavour to ensure all information on our website is accurate, but errors or omissions may occur. We reserve the right to correct pricing or product errors and cancel orders where necessary.

8. Return Policy

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) and Fair Trading Act, customers are entitled to a remedy if a product is faulty or not as described, damaged before delivery, or misrepresented in advertising.

However, due to the personal and memorial nature of our products, returns are not accepted once an urn or jewellery piece has been used or filled.

We will gladly replace or refund any item that arrives damaged or defective before use. Please contact us within 7 days of delivery if there is an issue.

9. Liability Limitation

Where goods or services are acquired for business purposes, the CGA does not apply. To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • We exclude all liability except in cases of bad faith.
  • This exclusion applies to our employees, contractors, and agents.
  • Our maximum liability is limited to the value of the faulty product or service supplied.

10. Intellectual Property

All content on our website — including images, branding, text, and design — is the property of Sweet Farewell Limited. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute any content without written permission.

11. Order Acceptance

An order becomes binding once payment is received and a confirmation email is issued. We reserve the right to decline or cancel orders at our discretion.

12. Force Majeure

We are not liable for delays or failure to supply due to events beyond our control, including natural disasters, courier disruptions, illness, or supply chain issues.

13. Incorrect Information

If incorrect information is supplied and we incur costs as a result, we may recover those costs from you (including legal costs on a solicitor-client basis).

14. Privacy Policy & Confidentiality

We collect personal information to provide products and services, administer orders and payments, and communicate with you (if you opt in).

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time. Order-related messages will still be sent.

We may disclose personal information if required by law. Where information is provided confidentially, we will hold it in confidence except as required by law.

Cookies may be required for some website features. If disabled, some functionality may not be available.

You may request access to or correction of your personal information at any time.

15. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but cannot guarantee website security. We are not responsible for breaches beyond our control.

16. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party providers, including Stripe for secure payment processing (PCI-DSS compliant). We share only the minimum information required for these services to operate.

17. Applicable Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. The Courts of New Zealand have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes.

You agree to use our website, products, and services in accordance with the laws of your country of residence.
