Website Use Terms

1. Using the Website

By accessing Tasman Bay Retreat, you agree to use the website in accordance with these Terms of Use. Tasman Bay Retreat is an informational travel and resort resource intended primarily for readers in New Zealand while also covering international destinations and accommodation experiences. If you do not agree with these terms, you should discontinue use of the site. Tasman Bay Retreat does not operate hotels, process accommodation reservations, accept wagers, or provide casino services.

2. Ownership of Site Content

The written material, visual presentation, original photography, resort commentary, destination features, branding, and other content created for Tasman Bay Retreat remain protected as intellectual property where applicable. Unless permission has been provided, site material may not be copied, republished, redistributed, commercially reproduced, or adapted into derivative content beyond uses permitted by applicable requirements.

3. Acceptable Use of Tasman Bay Retreat

Visitors are expected to use the website in a lawful and reasonable manner. When browsing or interacting with Tasman Bay Retreat, you agree not to:

• Attempt to interfere with, bypass, damage, or gain unauthorised access to website systems or security measures.
• Use automated extraction tools or similar methods to collect substantial amounts of site content without appropriate permission.
• Use the website in a way that infringes the privacy, intellectual property, or other legitimate rights of contributors, businesses, or other parties.

4. Links to Independent Websites

Tasman Bay Retreat may include links to resorts, hotels, booking platforms, travel providers, or other external websites for additional information. Those websites are operated independently and remain outside Tasman Bay Retreat's control. Their content, availability, prices, booking conditions, privacy practices, and services may change without notice. Any transaction or arrangement made through an external website is between the visitor and the relevant third-party provider.

5. Availability and Reliability of Information

Tasman Bay Retreat aims to present useful travel information, but resort facilities, prices, operating schedules, room categories, venue policies, and destination conditions may change after publication. Content is therefore provided for general reference rather than as a guarantee that every detail will remain current. Readers should confirm important information directly with the relevant property or service provider before making travel decisions.

6. Responsibility for Travel Decisions

To the extent permitted by applicable requirements, Tasman Bay Retreat is not responsible for losses, disruption, disappointment, or other consequences arising solely from reliance on general website content or from actions taken by independent third parties. Travellers remain responsible for checking current property information, booking terms, entry conditions, age restrictions, transport arrangements, and any other requirements relevant to their own journey.

7. Changes to the Website and These Terms

Tasman Bay Retreat may revise site content, features, page structures, or these Terms of Use as the platform develops. When this document is updated, the revision date shown above may be changed accordingly. Continued use of the website after an updated version is published indicates that you are using the site subject to the current terms displayed on this page.

8. Applicable Legal Framework

These terms are intended to operate alongside the laws and legal requirements that apply to Tasman Bay Retreat and to individual users in their relevant circumstances. Nothing on this page is intended to create legal rights or guarantees beyond those provided by applicable law. Where a legal question affects your use of the website or a third-party travel service, independent professional advice may be appropriate.
