Music Store terms and conditions

The following terms and conditions apply in relation to your access and use of the content and services offered to you on the Vodafone Music Store ("Services") and the purchase of any products from the Vodafone Music Store ("Products"). By browsing and (where applicable) purchasing from the Vodafone Music Store you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions, our website terms and conditions and any additional terms and conditions presented during the purchasing process.

Application of these terms and conditions

1. In these terms and conditions, reference to "we" and "us" means Vodafone New Zealand Limited, and "our" has a corresponding meaning

2. "You" means you our customer under these terms and conditions and "your" has a corresponding meaning.

3. The Services are based in New Zealand, aimed at New Zealand residents and intended for access and use by New Zealand residents only. The use of some of the Services may be restricted to certain customers or customer groups (for example, On Account customers). You shall be informed about any such restrictions before or during subscription for a particular service. Your access and use of the Service and any information and services provided by us as part of or via the Service is subject to these Terms (which include any directions and guidelines given by us on the Service from time to time) without modification by you. We may change these Terms from time to time, provided such changes are reasonable and where possible, we will provide advance notice of major changes to the Service and any changes to the Terms and Conditions on vodafone.co.nz. By accessing the Service (with or without registering for the Service) you accept that you are bound by the current Terms on the Service at the time of your access. You should therefore check these Terms each time you use any of the Services.

4. Where a third party service or content provider ("Provider") is identified as providing a particular service or application forming part of the Service then you may also be contracting directly with such Provider and your access to and use of that service or application may be subject to additional terms and conditions. For the avoidance of doubt in using any such Provider service you will still be bound by these Terms to the extent they are applicable.

5. These terms and conditions are effective upon the earlier of you:

• completing our registration process and confirming that you have read and accepted these Terms; or
• viewing, accessing or using any Service offered by us which does not require registration. 6. We suggest that you print out and keep a copy of these Terms for your records. These Terms shall apply to all of the Services. In addition to these Terms, there may be additional terms and conditions which apply to individual Services which you will be required to accept when registering for that Service.

General

If any part of these Terms is determined to be legally invalid or unenforceable, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Terms shall continue in effect.

If you are unsure whether this is the case you should check the information on our website, consult your handbook or contact the manufacturer of your access device. We cannot be held responsible should you attempt to download Content onto an incompatible access device and you will be charged regardless.

30. If you are purchasing the Product or using the Service for the purposes of a business, you agree that the Consumer Guarantees Act does not apply, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability to you, or anyone claiming through you, will be limited at all times to the purchase price of the Product or the Service to which your claim relates. In no event will Vodafone be liable to you for any loss of profits or revenue, lost business or missed opportunities or for any loss or damage that is indirect or consequential in relation to this Agreement or your use of the Service.

31. While Vodafone has endeavoured to ensure that the information provided on the Vodafone Music Store is free from error, we do not warrant its accuracy, adequacy or completeness, and to the extent permitted by law we shall not be responsible or liable for any error in, or omission from, the information provided on the Vodafone Music Store. We reserve the right to make changes to the information provided on the Vodafone Music Store at any time and without notice.

32. You acknowledge that we are unable to exercise control over the security or subject matter of third party content transmitted or accessible via the Service and we exclude all liability of any kind for the transmission or reception of illegal or unlawful content. The Services may be used by you to link to other web sites, resources and/or communications networks. We accept no responsibility for their content or services, or otherwise in respect of these. We endeavour to ensure the security of your communications; however your communications pass over third party networks over which we have no control. There is a risk that your communications may be unlawfully intercepted or accessed by those other than the intended recipient. The Internet is not a secure environment. Unwanted programs or material may be downloaded without your knowledge, which may give unauthorised persons access to information stored on your PC or mobile phone. These programs may perform actions that you have not authorised, possibly without your knowledge. We accept no liability for any loss or damage resulting from your use of the Internet and/or third party web sites or content accessed via the Service.

Indemnity by you

33. You irrevocably agree to indemnify us and our Providers fully against and to hold us and our Providers harmless on demand from all losses, costs, proceedings, damages, expenses (including reasonable legal costs and expenses) or liabilities howsoever incurred by us or our Providers as a result of any claim by a third party resulting from your use of the Service (or use of the Service by anyone who accesses the Service via your password) in breach or non-observance of these Terms. We shall notify you of any claim that we or our Providers receive and you hereby provide us and/or our Providers with full authority to defend, compromise or settle such claims and shall provide us and/or our Providers with all reasonable assistance necessary to defend such claims, at your sole expense.

Suspension or termination of Service

34. We may suspend the operation of the Service:

1. for repair or maintenance work; or
2. in order to update or upgrade the contents or functionality of the Service from time to time;
3. in the event that we believe that you are or may be in breach of these Terms.

35. If we suspend your access to the Service to investigate or prevent a potential breach of these Terms, these Terms shall continue to apply during such period of suspension and you shall remain liable for any charges payable by you during such period.

36. We may terminate your access to and use of all or any part of the Service:

1. If we terminate your access to the Service, we may delete all information, emails and data that you have stored on the Service. Therefore, we recommend that you save copies of all information that you wish to keep on another storage device apart from the Service.
2. If we terminate your access to the Service for material breach of these Terms (including non-payment of any sums due by you) then you shall remain liable for any such sums and for any other sums which you have contracted to pay prior to such termination, whether or not such charges relate to Services to be provided before or after such termination date and whether or not the charges are owed and/or payable to us or to our providers or collection agents.

37. Vodafone may withdraw or change the Services generally, at any time for technical, commercial, public interest or operational reasons. In the event that the Services are being permanently withdrawn by Vodafone, this will be advertised with as much notice as reasonably possible prior to the withdrawal of the Services. Depending on the reason for the suspension, withdrawal or change, it may not always be possible to give advance notice. Termination shall not affect the accrued rights and liabilities of either you or us.

38. You may end the Service at any time by following the instructions on the website or contacting us, as set out above. Termination of the Service will not affect your obligation to pay for Services used by you or any third party goods or services previously purchased using the Service.
