"AA" means The New Zealand Automobile Association Inc which owns and operates this site. "You" refers to every individual or entity accessing the site for whatever reason.
By using this site, including the booking engine, you are accepting all these Terms of Use and the Terms and Conditions applied by each of the third party suppliers appearing on the booking engine.
AA requires you to read all Terms of Use carefully. You may contact AA if you do not understand any of them. If you do not accept all of the terms, do not use this site.
The site is for your personal use and is not to be used for any commercial purpose.
Site Information
Most of the information on this site is provided by third party suppliers. AA has taken reasonable care to check that information is accurate and up-to-date, but does not guarantee that the site or the server providing it is free from viruses, errors and faults.
AA accepts no responsibility for information supplied by third parties and in particular does not guarantee or warrant the accuracy of, or the fitness for any particular purpose of, or merchantability of, any third party information, product or service available from, or referred to, on this site. AA will not be liable for any damages or loss caused by the use of any information on this site.
AA has the right to change any information on this site at any time and without notice. If you use the site after AA has changed the terms you will be bound by the new terms.
Charges
You will pay any charges listed on the site for bookings made through the site. Charges will be payable immediately by charge to your credit card. We accept major credit cards (Visa, Master Card and American Express) but reserve the right not to accept a particular credit card provider at our discretion.
When completing the on-line booking form you must be of legal age to do so and become legally bound to honour payment and other obligations.
You are also responsible for keeping other members of your party informed of the booking details. The booking is confirmed when an on-screen confirmation and an email booking confirmation have been sent to you by AA (whether or not you receive it). If the booking is not confirmed, it means that the transaction has not been successfully completed.
The confirmation clearly states the rooms and occupancy covered in the payment. You will be liable for additional charges incurred during your stay, which are payable directly to the accommodation supplier. You must check the room description at the time of booking. It is your responsibility to ensure that the booking will be suitable for your needs. Accommodation suppliers have different child policies and it is your responsibility to check restrictions, such as the child age range, and book appropriately.
Cancellation Policy
You agree to the Cancellation Policy as outlined by the accommodation provider. An administration charge of $25 applies to all cancellations.
Room availability ("inventory") is set by the accommodation supplier. AA does not oversell that inventory, and AA will not accept any liability for unavailability of rooms caused by the accommodation supplier over-selling rooms.
Intellectual Property Rights
You may not store, transmit, reproduce, publish, upload, or distribute in any form any material from this site without AA's prior written permission, except that you may download one copy on a single computer for your personal non-business use. If you modify or use the materials for any other purpose you will be in breach of AA's Intellectual Property Rights, which are protected by New Zealand and international law.
If you download software from the site (which includes files, images, data and code) AA retains complete ownership of that software. You must not redistribute, decompile, disassemble, reverse-engineer or deal with the software in any way.
Links and Advertisements
AA may provide links from this site to other websites for your convenience and assistance. You acknowledge and agree that AA is not responsible for the availability of these external websites or resources, does not endorse and is not responsible for any content, advertising products, services or other materials on, or available, from these websites or resources.
Any dealing you have with a third party provider is solely between you and that third party. Your dealings are with the third party supplier directly and not with AA as agent for the supplier. AA has taken reasonable care to ensure that third party providers are reputable, but AA is not liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage you or anybody else might suffer by dealing with a third party.
AA does not undertake that the site will be available, uninterrupted or error-free.
Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer

AA's maximum liability to you for all damages, losses, costs and expenses under any cause of action is limited to the value of the AA's charge for any service or product provided via this site.
