Welcome to Around You, a digital platform that connects local service providers, artisans, and customers in New Zealand.

By accessing or using our website and services, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully.

1. Overview of Services

Around You offers:

  • A local matching service for providers (e.g., tutors, cleaners) and customers

  • A handmade marketplace where users can list and purchase unique, handcrafted goods

We do not directly provide services or sell goods; instead, we facilitate connections between users.

2. User Responsibilities

By using our site, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate and up-to-date information

  • Not engage in misleading, illegal, or harmful activity

  • Respect the rights and privacy of other users

  • Use the platform for personal or business use only, not for unauthorized commercial use

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access if these rules are violated.

3. Listing Services or Products

Service providers and sellers must:

  • Provide clear and truthful listings

  • Deliver services and products as described

  • Comply with applicable New Zealand consumer and safety laws

We are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, or accuracy of any listings.

4. Payments & Transactions

Around You does not process or handle any payments. All transactions — including payment arrangements, pricing, delivery, and terms — are made directly between users (e.g., customers and service providers or sellers).

We do not:

  • Collect or store payment information

  • Act as a payment intermediary or marketplace vendor

  • Guarantee or verify any transactions

Users are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy, safety, and legality of their own transactions. We recommend taking appropriate steps to verify service quality, product condition, and secure payment methods before entering into any agreement.

5. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

We do our best to ensure accurate and secure operation, but we make no warranties about:

  • The uninterrupted or error-free use of the platform

  • The suitability or trustworthiness of any user or product

  • Any outcomes from using the site

To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, we are not liable for any loss, damage, or liability arising from your use of the platform.

6. Privacy

Your personal data is handled in accordance with our [Privacy Policy]. We comply with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and related regulations.

7. Intellectual Property

All content (text, branding, logos, layout) is owned by Around You unless otherwise stated. You may not copy, reuse, or distribute it without permission.

User-submitted content remains the property of the user but may be used by us for promotional purposes with credit.

8. Modifications

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the new terms.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any disputes will be resolved under New Zealand jurisdiction.
