4. ENZTL Responsibilities
   ENZTL operate the experiencenz.com web site as agents for the owner/operators identified in the web site. Whilst we have visited (and do visit on a regular basis) all of the properties on the web site, we are not responsible for the individual properties. We are not liable for any loss or damage caused by any failure or improper performance by any of the owner/operators. However, in the event that a owner/operator cannot provide you with contracted accommodation, we will use our best endeavours to provide you with alternative accommodation, but otherwise we shall have no liability to you.
5. Personal Liability
   ENZTL are not liable for any injury, damage or loss to persons or goods whatsoever and howsoever the same may be caused.
6. Cancellation of Booking by ENZTL
   We reserve the right to provide you with alternative accommodation or to cancel certain accommodation, where circumstances beyond our control arise. In the latter case, any sum paid by you will be refunded, but otherwise we accept no further liability.
7. Your Booking Obligations
   Your confirmed booking constitutes a legal contract between you and the owner/operator of the individual property which requires you to pay for the reserved accommodation in the event of curtailment of your holiday.
8. Problems and Complaints
   The legal agreement in respect of your booking is between you and the owner/operator. ENZTL cannot accept responsibility for failure by either party to observe any rental agreement. Any problems or complaints should first be discussed between you and the owner/operator. ENZTL carefully monitors standards of the accommodation suppliers on the experiencenz.com web site and investigates all complaints. We would like to hear of any problems that you experienced on your holiday so that we can endeavour to ensure they are not repeated. The responsibility rests with the owner of the individual properties to maintain standards up to the level required by ENZTL at the time of the last ENZTL inspection. ENZTL cannot accept responsibility for any owner who fails to maintain the standards of their property.
9. Errors and Omissions
   While every care has been taken to ensure accuracy in the experiencenz.com web site, and its compliance with the consumer protection laws of New Zealand, ENZTL cannot accept responsibility for errors or omissions in material supplied for the web site. However, where such errors or omissions are brought to our attention they will be amended or corrected as soon as practically possible.
