Terms and conditions
These terms and conditions (as amended from time to time) (“Terms”) apply to your access to, and use of, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE’s) secure online investment management system (the “Portal”) that allows you to submit information to MBIE.
By using the Portal, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms and agree to be bound by them. Terms apply only to access to the Portal and do not waive or alter any of your existing obligations to MBIE in any way.
MBIE change these Terms from time to time and publish the new Terms on the Portal site. It is your responsibility to check these Terms periodically for changes and your continued use of the Portal means you accept and agree to such changes.
The way that MBIE uses and shares your personal information is explained in MBIE’s Privacy Statement.
Use of Portal
The Portal is the way in which you supply information to MBIE for submitting funding applications, managing contracts, and assessing funding applications. You agree to use for the Portal only for this purpose. Any misuse of the Portal may cause MBIE to restrict or withdraw your access.
Maintenance of Portal
The Portal will be unavailable on occasion for routine and unscheduled maintenance and is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. MBIE will try to minimise any impacts on users as best it can.
Withdrawal of access to the portal
MBIE may withdraw your access to the Portal at any time. MBIE will endeavour to give you reasonable notice of the withdrawal of access, but it may suspend or withdraw access to the Portal without prior notice if:
- You have breached these Terms; or
- MBIE considers it has reasonable grounds to do so.
If access to the Portal is withdrawn for any reason, you must destroy any copies of information or documents that describe or allow access to the Portal.
Indemnity
MBIE may charge you for, and you agree to pay, all direct and indirect costs, losses, expenses, and fees (including all legal costs) and damages MBIE incurs resulting from:
- A breach by you of these Terms; or
- Your use of the Portal or the results of your use of the Portal; or
- Failure to keep your account login details secure.
Disclosure of information
MBIE will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information which you submit using the Portal is disclosed only to properly authorised persons or as required by law.
MBIE is required to release information which it holds in response to requests made under the Official Information Act 1982, unless good reason exists to withhold such information.
If you wish MBIE to consider withholding any information you have supplied, you should flag the information as "Confidential" where the Portal permits you to. Where the Portal does not have such a facility, you should notify us in writing as soon as possible, identifying the information and giving reasons.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, MBIE excludes any and all liability it may have to you or any other person under or in relation to these Terms, the Portal, your use of the Portal, and all information on the Portal.
This exclusion applies regardless of whether such liability arises in contract, tort (including negligence), equity, breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, and whether such liability is for direct, indirect, consequential, special or punitive loss or damage, or loss of profit, income, data, business opportunity or anticipated savings.
General
If MBIE does not enforce its rights against you, or it delays in doing so, that will not mean MBIE has waived its rights against you.
If any provision of these Terms is unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of the Terms will remain enforceable.
These Terms are governed by New Zealand law and the courts of New Zealand have non-exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any matter concerning these Terms.
