These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the Affordable Tiny Houses NZ website and any enquiries, quotations, purchases, or services provided by our company. By accessing our website or engaging with our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms & Conditions, please refrain from using our website or services.
Website Information
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that all information published on our website is accurate and up to date. However, specifications, pricing, images, floor plans, availability, and other details may change without notice.
Images, renders, illustrations, and promotional material are provided for general guidance only. Final products may vary due to design improvements, material availability, supplier changes, or customisation requests.
Nothing on this website constitutes a legally binding offer unless confirmed in writing by Affordable Tiny Houses NZ.
Quotations and Pricing
All quotations are valid for the period stated within the quotation unless otherwise specified.
Pricing may be subject to change due to fluctuations in material costs, labour costs, transportation expenses, supplier pricing, regulatory requirements, or project modifications requested by the customer.
Any variation requested after a quotation has been accepted may result in additional charges and revised completion timeframes.
Unless otherwise stated, all prices are expressed in New Zealand Dollars (NZD).
Orders and Deposits
A project will not commence until a written agreement has been accepted and any required deposit has been received.
Deposits may be required to secure production schedules, materials, and construction resources.
Where a customer cancels an order after work has commenced, Affordable Tiny Houses NZ reserves the right to retain part or all of the deposit to recover costs already incurred, including design work, administration, materials, and labour.
Design Changes and Variations
Customers may request modifications to approved plans or specifications. Any changes may affect pricing, delivery schedules, engineering requirements, or compliance obligations.
All variations must be approved in writing before implementation.
We reserve the right to decline requested changes that may compromise safety, structural integrity, compliance requirements, or construction feasibility.
Building Consents and Council Requirements
Building regulations and consent requirements vary throughout New Zealand.
While we may provide general guidance regarding compliance matters, it remains the responsibility of the property owner to confirm applicable council requirements, zoning restrictions, resource consents, and site-specific obligations before installation.
Affordable Tiny Houses NZ cannot guarantee council approval for any proposed site or project.
Site Preparation
Customers are responsible for ensuring that the installation site is suitable and accessible before delivery.
This includes, where applicable:
- Site access and clearance
- Foundations or support systems
- Utility connections
- Drainage requirements
- Landscaping or earthworks
- Compliance with local authority requirements
Delays caused by incomplete site preparation may result in additional charges or revised delivery schedules.
Delivery and Installation
Delivery dates are estimates only and may be affected by factors beyond our control, including weather conditions, transport availability, road restrictions, supplier delays, or unforeseen construction circumstances.
Customers are responsible for ensuring adequate access for delivery vehicles and equipment.
If additional equipment, permits, escorts, crane services, or transport arrangements are required due to site conditions, these costs may be charged separately unless otherwise agreed.
Risk transfers to the customer upon delivery of the home to the agreed location.
