You can use our Platform to buy a wide range of products from third party retailers, suppliers, merchants and vendors (Vendor). We connect you to Vendors, who pay us a commission for each order you make on the Platform.

We may change these terms at any time, and changes will be posted on the Platform. By continuing to use the Platform, you agree to be bound by any changes.

2.3 Placing orders on the Platform
Information about products on the Platform is based on material provided by Vendors. We cannot be held responsible for incorrect information supplied by Vendors and you agree to make your own enquiries to verify information and assess the suitability of products before placing an order. We also note that due to photographic and screen limitations, some actual products may differ to a small extent in visual appearance from the way they appear on the Platform. Any information contained on our Platform (and any of our associated websites, apps or social media pages) constitutes an invitation to treat only and is not an offer by us to supply any products.
To order a product, add it to the shopping cart and proceed through the checkout process. You will be required to enter payment information, which, if successfully completed, will lead to a confirmation page (which you can use as a receipt of your order). Once you complete an order (including payment), it will be sent to the Vendor.

2.4 Cancelling Orders
We reserve the right to cancel orders that we believe to be placed for commercial purposes or are fraudulent (including where we believe there may have been credit card or a payment related fraud).

e. Any failure by a Vendor to comply with these terms and conditions, or any other legal obligation, including the Vendor’s failure to send the Products you purchased.
f. We do not undertake to monitor or verify Sellers or their Products or Services, including to verify the accuracy of their listings or the quality or suitability of Products or Services.
3.2 Delivery of your order
Delivery times are set by Vendors and therefore vary depending on which Vendor you are buying from. After placing your order, you will be able to track its progress by logging into the Platform which will either display the progress of your order, or provide a link to the relevant carrier’s site (on which you can check your order’s progress).
To ensure successful delivery, you must provide a delivery address where someone will be present during business hours. The Vendor will not be liable for late delivery where attempted delivery has occurred on or before the relevant delivery timeframe.

All products sold on NZ.OnlineArtDirect.com are likely to come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
