Who operates GRID EATER
GRID EATER is a product of America First Limited, a New Zealand company. These terms apply to use of the GRID EATER website and directory. Paid services may also be governed by a quote, proposal, statement of work, invoice or other written service terms agreed with the customer.
Using this website
You may use the public website for lawful business discovery, research and information. Directory content is general information and is not legal, financial, tax, medical or other professional advice.
Business details can change and public sources can be incomplete, delayed or incorrect. Verify information that is important to a decision, transaction, appointment or legal obligation.
Directory listings
A business appearing in the directory is not necessarily a GRID EATER customer, advertiser, partner or supporter. A listing is not an endorsement, recommendation, certification or guarantee.
We may request evidence before changing a listing and may decline, defer or reverse a change where reliable information supports another result or where publication would conflict with privacy, safety, quality or legal requirements.
Paid services, scope and pricing
The scope, deliverables, timing and price of paid work are those agreed for the particular service. Prices shown as plus GST are exclusive of New Zealand GST. Third-party charges, advertising spend, premium domains, licences or unusual infrastructure costs are additional where they are identified in the agreed scope.
If a requested outcome cannot reasonably be promised, we will aim to make that clear before accepting work. Search rankings, advertising results, third-party approvals and uninterrupted availability of external platforms are not guaranteed.
New Zealand consumer and fair-trading law
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, Fair Trading Act 1986 or other applicable New Zealand law.
Where both parties are in trade, any lawful contracting out of consumer guarantees or fair-trading provisions must be expressly agreed and will apply only to the extent New Zealand law permits. These website terms do not by themselves create such an agreement.
Third-party platforms and infrastructure
GRID EATER may configure or manage services supplied by third parties, including hosting, domain registries, analytics, advertising, software, cloud and AI providers. Those providers remain responsible for their own infrastructure, platforms and terms.
We are not responsible for a third party's independent outage, policy change, account suspension, security incident or product decision, but where GRID EATER manages the affected service we will use reasonable care to assist with diagnosis and recovery within the agreed scope.
Acceptable use and security
Do not use GRID EATER unlawfully, seek unauthorised access, interfere with service operation, submit intentionally false edit requests, impersonate another person or business, probe for non-public data, distribute malicious or abusive material, or conduct automated extraction or traffic that materially harms the service.
We may rate-limit, block, suspend or investigate activity where reasonably necessary to protect users, data, infrastructure or service availability.
Intellectual property
GRID EATER owns or licenses the website code, design, original editorial content, branding and other material created for the service, except for third-party material and business information that belongs to its respective owner or source.
Technology names, logos and trade marks shown on GRID EATER remain the property of their respective owners and are used to identify technologies we can work with. Their appearance does not imply partnership or endorsement.
Liability and availability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, GRID EATER and America First Limited are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising solely from reliance on free directory information or from the independent failure of a third-party service. Liability for paid work is subject to the agreed service terms and applicable law.
Nothing in this section limits liability or statutory rights that New Zealand law says cannot be limited or excluded.
Electronic communications
If GRID EATER sends commercial electronic messages, we intend to comply with New Zealand's Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007, including applicable consent, sender-identification and unsubscribe requirements. Service, security, billing and transactional messages may still be sent where needed to provide or protect a service.
Disputes, governing law and changes
These terms are governed by New Zealand law. If a problem arises, use the Contact page first so we can try to resolve it. Depending on the issue, statutory complaint bodies, the Disputes Tribunal or the New Zealand courts may also be available.
We may update these terms as the service changes. Material changes will apply from the date the updated terms are published unless another date is stated.
