All deliveries are CIP – Carriage and Insurance Paid to (named place of destination) (“CIP”) unless otherwise stated and the Customer takes legal title and possession of the products and assumes all risk and loss once the products arrive alongside the delivery vehicle at the Customer’s nominated destination within New Zealand (“Entry Port”).

Where MSNZL is the delivery contractor, it shall be responsible for lowering all products off the delivery contractor’s vehicle(s) and fully responsible for communicating to the delivery contractor proper delivery instructions as provided by the Customer. Mis-information given to MSNZL by the Customer regarding proper delivery instructions, which in turn result in additional shipping and handling fees being incurred, shall be fully passed on to the Customer.

MSNZL shall not be liable for delays caused by any matters outside of its control.
  9. Once products have been processed and cleared through the New Zealand Office of Exchange and released for delivery, timeframes for delivery of products within New Zealand, will depend on the reasonable means of the delivery contractor and the distance of the drop off location in relation to the Entry Port.

  10. Damage caused whilst products are in transit are covered by MSNZL. The Customer shall not hold MSNZL responsible in any way for damage caused where the Customer has chosen another third-party delivery carrier or other shipment type/method as selected by the Customer.
