Our information practices are subject to Jetkrate's Privacy Policy. The information you submit when opening a Jetkrate account and when you transact business via the Jetkrate website may be transferred to, stored in and/or processed in New Zealand, UK, Guernsey, Germany, Turkey, Japan and the United States or any other country when such transfer, storage and/or processing are necessary to provide Jetkrate services to you. By opening a Jetkrate account, you consent to the transfer, storage and/or processing of that information in such countries.

9. Your Use of the Website.

You may not use the Jetkrate website or Jetkrate services for any unlawful purpose. We reserve the right to terminate or restrict your access to your Jetkrate account and your use of Jetkrate services if, in our opinion, your use may violate any laws, infringe upon another person's rights, or breach the terms of this Agreement.

  1. You may use the Jetkrate website and Jetkrate services solely for your personal use (including your friends and family members - see section 24) or for use by the business entity you represent.

10. Shipping Cost Calculator.

When you use Jetkrate's proprietary Shipping Cost Calculator for an advance determination of the combined costs of duty, taxes and international shipping, the resulting cost is an estimate only, based on the information you provide. The actual cost may vary from the estimate due to several factors, including but not limited to: changes in delivery company rates or an unavoidable fuel surcharge that our delivery company may impose (which we pass on to you with no mark-up); changes in currency exchange rates; differences between the estimated and the actual package weights; discrepancies between the estimated and actual product classification or value; the use of volumetric weight calculations for bulky, lightweight packages; and/or additional local delivery charges if your delivery address is in a remote geographic area. Special note: Some destination countries may assess government mandated clearance fees in addition to duty and tax. Depending on the nature of these fees, they may or may not be included in the Shipping Cost Calculator estimate. They will however be included in the charges assessed at shipment release.

We make all reasonable attempts to exclude viruses, worms, and other malicious content from these web pages, but we cannot and do not guarantee the complete absence of such. Please take appropriate safeguards before downloading information from the Jetkrate website.

13. Infringement; Counterfeit goods

  1. If you believe any material on the website infringes your intellectual property rights, please inform us by contacting us. We respect the intellectual property rights of others, and we make efforts not to publish any material that is subject to third party copyright, trademark or other legal protections. If you believe any material on the website infringes your intellectual property rights, please inform us by submitting an
  2. Jetkrate takes seriously the problems caused by Internet advertising and sale of counterfeit goods - which are also known as "knock offs", replicas, faux or fake products. Counterfeit goods are imitations of well-known brands. They are typically sold at prices lower than the genuine product, and they almost always bear what looks like the genuine product's trademark or logo. Ads for these products may or may not specify that they are replicas, and they are often difficult to distinguish from the genuine product - particularly in online ads where you don't have the chance to examine the goods themselves. While we make every effort to ensure that our service is not used for the sale of counterfeit goods, and we carefully select the merchants and products linked to our websites, we cannot guarantee that every item advertised and/or delivered through our cross-border shopping service is 100% authentic. But we do commit to investigate all problems,
  3. If you believe any material on the website infringes your intellectual property rights, please inform us by contacting us.
  4. After we receive your complaint, we will conduct an investigation. If we determine that counterfeit goods infringing your rights are indeed being advertised and/or distributed through Jetkrate, we will take appropriate action such as:
    - removing the ad for the infringing product
    - prohibiting the merchant of the infringing product from advertising on Jetkrate websites
    - disabling the customer's account if the customer is knowingly importing counterfeit goods using Jetkrate services
    - notifying law enforcement authorities

14. Trademarks.

'Jetkrate' is a trademark, with registrations granted in numerous countries. Use of this website does not grant you a license to use the Jetkrate trademark. It may not be copied, downloaded, reproduced, used, modified or distributed in any way (except as part of a copy of any of these web pages or screens as authorised in 12.3 above) without our written permission. All other trademarks or trade names displayed or referred to on our website are the property of their respective owners.

15. Other Websites.

Jetkrate is not responsible for the content or accuracy of information obtained from any third party (non-Jetkrate) website which may be linked to the Jetkrate website, or which you may access from this website.

16. Disclaimer of Warranty.

Your use of the website is at your own risk, and you acknowledge that Jetkrate web-based services are provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. While we endeavour to provide accurate and current information via our website, we disclaim all warranties, express and implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a specific purpose, and non-infringement, to the full extent permissible by applicable law. The website is not warranted to be uninterrupted or error-free. Jetkrate is not liable for any inability to access, delay in accessing, or interruptions in access to your account or conducting transactions due to unavailable or unreliable telecommunications networks or internet service providers, incompatible or malfunctioning equipment, software you use for such access, or other causes beyond Jetkrate's control.

17. Limitation of Liability

In no event will Jetkrate be liable for any indirect, special, consequential, incidental, punitive or exemplary damages (including but not limited to loss of business, loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, lost opportunity, business interruption, or loss of information) arising out of your use of or inability to use your Jetkrate account or the Jetkrate website, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Except for loss of or damage to packages during international shipment (which is covered in section 38 below), Jetkrate's maximum liability, and your exclusive remedy with respect to any errors in Jetkrate services provided to you under this agreement, is limited to NZD$100 (or equivalent) per incident. Some countries or states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties or limitation of certain damages, so such disclaimers and limitations may not apply to you.

18. Notices.

E-mail notices, newsletters and/or information on the website will be the primary methods by which we will communicate. We will send notices and any other pertinent information to you at the e-mail address you supply when you open your Jetkrate account or have subsequently updated. You can send notices or other communications to Jetkrate using the e-mail, Live Chat or Phone Callback links on the Contact Us page.

19. Modification of Jetkrate Terms and Conditions.

We may modify these terms and conditions at any time without notice. Your continued use of your Jetkrate account after the introduction of such modifications will constitute your acceptance of the modified terms and conditions.

Your purchase of products from merchants

20. Ordering Products.

You place an order with an online merchant, either through links on this website or directly from the merchant's website, or via our Concierge Service (see section 23 below). You will pay the merchant directly for the product and the cost of domestic shipping (if applicable), for delivery to your Jetkrate address. You agree to comply with any conditions and restrictions of sale which are specified on the merchant's website or which you are notified of during the purchase process.

21. Correct Addressing.

You will take all reasonable measures to ensure that the products you order are correctly addressed to your Jetkrate address, including your name and exact suite number. As noted in section 30, additional handling fees in identifying the recipient may apply if your package was incorrectly or inadequately addressed.

22. Purchase Transaction Solely Between You and the Seller.

Jetkrate provides services enabling you to shop online from merchants' websites in another country and have products delivered to you in your home country; however, Jetkrate does not sell the products to you. You are solely responsible for selecting and ordering the products from the merchant, and your purchase of a product is a transaction solely between you and the merchant.

  1. Jetkrate makes no representations, warranties or guarantees regarding the quality or suitability of the products you order.
  2. We have no liability for any failure of a seller to ship to your Jetkrate address or to fulfill your order, or for any defects in any product you purchase, or any injury or damage that any product may cause, or for any other failure of the product to meet your expectations.
  3. We do not handle communications with sellers regarding product exchanges. That is your responsibility. We will, upon your request, arrange for the return delivery of item(s) ordered from the seller if the goods are still at your Jetkrate address. Applicable return charges will apply.
  4. If after delivery to you, you determine that any product is defective or does not otherwise meet with your expectations, you agree that you will hold Jetkrate harmless from any liability and will seek any remedies solely from the seller. See Section 41 for return procedures.
  5. If the seller contacts Jetkrate disputing a transaction we will place an immediate 10 business day hold on the package in question allowing you and the seller sufficient time to resolve the dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved in 10 business days, the package will be released to you at the discretion of Jetkrate. If the dispute is a result of goods purchased fraudulently, Jetkrate will indefinitely place a hold on your package if the seller is able to provide confirmation of fraudulent activity from the bank in question or legal authority.
  6. Goods confirmed as fraudulently purchased can only be repossed by a seller on directive to Jetkrate from the police or other legal authority. 

23. Concierge service

If the merchant does not or will not accept your international payment method, you may use our Concierge Service for a nominal fee. Concierge Service places the order for you in your name as the ‘purchaser,’ according to the instructions you provide, and pays for the purchase on your behalf. For detailed information, see our Concierge FAQ. The following conditions apply to all Concierge orders:

  1. The instructions you give us in the Concierge Order Form must specify the exact product description (including price, quantity, colour, size, merchant’s reference code, etc.) and any discount codes you believe may apply.
  2. A Concierge order cannot be changed or cancelled once it has been placed.
  3. We will not place (or we will cancel) a Concierge order if you do not supply sufficient information; or if it includes any Prohibited Item; or any item in the order is out-of-stock; or the total price (including any applicable local tax and domestic shipping charges) is higher than the amount you have authorised.
  4. As with regular Jetkrate service, your purchase of a product through our Concierge Service is a transaction solely between you and the merchant, even though we assist you by placing your order and making payment on your behalf. We make no representations, warranties or guarantees regarding the quality or suitability of the products you order through the Concierge Service. We are not responsible if the merchant fails to fulfill the order, ships the wrong product, does not apply any discount code you specified, or any other failure of the product to meet your expectations and you will hold Jetkrate harmless from any liability. You will need to contact the merchant directly regarding such discrepancies.

Receipt of packages at your Jetkrate address

24. Our Receiving Procedure.

We will in good faith receive packages delivered to your Jetkrate address. We will notify you when they are received, advise you of the actual cost of duties, taxes and international shipping/handling, and seek your instructions for shipping or storage of the packages. We will not accept parcels or packages delivered on a COD (Cash On Delivery) basis. You are the only person authorised to pay for and release the shipment, including releasing any packages addressed to your friends or family members. The delivery address must be in the same country as the country where you are located; you cannot ship packages to individuals in any other country. Also, the payment must be via a card or payment method issued in the same country where you are located.

25. Loss or Damage of Products in Transit to our export facility.

Jetkrate will not be liable for products lost or damaged in transit from the merchant to the Jetkrate export facility. We reserve the right to refuse delivery at the Jetkrate export facility if, upon inspection of the outside of the package, it is obvious that the product is damaged or incomplete. In such a case, we will return the product to the sender and will notify you.

26. Inspection of Packages

  1. Jetkrate has the right (upon receipt, during storage, or in preparing for export shipment) to open and inspect any package, or part thereof, for security purposes and to verify compliance with export and import laws and to confirm the product description and other information you supply, without prior notice and without liability to you. However we have no duty or responsibility to inspect packages for non-obvious damage or breakage, and we do not accept responsibility for the accuracy of product descriptions and other information provided by you.
  2. If we discover or believe that the description of the contents of the package or other information you supply is not accurate, then, depending on the specific situation, we may request you to provide additional documentation about the contents and/or their value, proof of identity, proof of address or a combination. Failure to provide this information can lead to Jetkrate refusing to ship the goods (you will be notified). 
  3. We may repack a product to reduce the bulk or the weight of the package, but we do not open any inner sealed, shrink-wrapped or ‘designer’ packaging. See our Repacking FAQ.

27. Prohibited Items.

  1. Jetkrate will place on ‘hold’ all products that are restricted or prohibited for export or import to the destination country. Additionally, any product deemed unsafe for international transportation will be prohibited for shipment and placed on hold. See sections 36 and 37 below and our Prohibited items FAQ . After you have been notified of the ‘hold’ status, we will, at your request, arrange for the item to be either returned to the merchant, shipped to New Zealand, UK, Guernsey, Germany, Turkey, Japan or disposed of. Applicable charges will apply. You will have 14 days to advise disposition of the product. If you have not responded to our notification within 14 days, the product may be destroyed.
  2. Products that cannot be legally sold (such as illegal drugs) cannot be returned to the merchant or shipped to an alternative address. They are subject to seizure by law enforcement authorities, who may investigate further.
  3. It is not always a simple matter to determine whether a specific product is export-restricted. In such cases, Jetkrate may submit such items for review by the government agency responsible for export compliance.

28. No Mail Accepted.

  1. Jetkrate will only process packages and envelopes containing items you have purchased. We are not a mail forwarding agency, and we do not and cannot ship documents or other mail to you. Any mail or packages addressed to you that do not contain items of value will be destroyed.
  2. You may not use your Jetkrate address for any purpose other than receiving packages containing products you have ordered from merchants.

Storage at the Jetkrate export facility

29. Storage of Packages; Storage Charges After 30 days.

We will store packages for you, free of charge, for a period of up to 30 days from the date received at your Jetkrate address. We will send you a reminder before your 30-day free storage period expires.
  1. After 30 days, we will store packages but only for a maximum of another 30 days. There will be a storage charge of NZD$1 (or 0.5 GBP at our UK export facility) per day, which will be payable by you at the time of requesting shipment. We will send you a reminder before this additional paid storage period expires. Any package for which you have not given us shipping instructions by the end of a total of 60 days (30 days free + 30 days paid storage) will be deemed abandoned, and we may dispose of it in any manner permitted by law.
  2. Should you determine that you no longer wish to ship items stored in your suite, for whatever reason, you are entitled to request their disposal. Where products can be returned to the merchant, Jetkrate will arrange this at your cost. Any correspondence required with the merchant must be conducted by you. If the products cannot be returned to the merchant, Jetkrate will arrange disposal. Please contact us. Any storage costs incurred by you remain payable.

30. Unidentified Recipients.

Occasionally we receive packages where the appropriate recipient cannot be identified, e.g., the customer name and/or the suite address may be missing or mis-stated.
If you have ordered a product and there is an unusual delay in receiving notification from Jetkrate that there is a package waiting for you, you should contact Customer Service and describe the product you are expecting so that we can inspect unidentified packages and see if yours is there.

  1. A standard $25 NZD handling fee will apply in identifying the recipient if your package has been incorrectly in inadequately addressed. This is to cover the cost of the additional time and effort required by our staff to find and identify your package.
  2. Any goods received at our export facility for which an owner cannot be determined (after we have made reasonable investigative efforts) will be held for 90 days. If they remain unclaimed after 90 days, Jetkrate will have the right to dispose of them in any manner permitted under applicable law.

International shipment and delivery

31. Shipment of Packages

When you request packages to be shipped, and you have paid the total cost specified in your 'Shipment Release' form – including all duties, taxes, shipping, any fuel surcharge required by our delivery company, any country-specific customs or import fees, and any applicable handling charges and storage costs (which may differ from the estimate given using the Shipping Cost Calculator - see section 10) - Jetkrate will arrange international shipment to any country listed in the pull-down menu on the Jetkrate website and deliver the packages to the delivery address you specify.

32. Appointment of Jetkrate as Agent

You appoint Jetkrate to act as your agent to manage all export, import and customs clearance procedures and to ensure that customs duties and taxes are paid to the relevant customs and tax authorities. Jetkrate will perform these functions based on the information you provide and, accordingly, Jetkrate will not be responsible or liable for any additional duties or taxes that are assessed if the information you provide to us is inaccurate or incorrect.

33. Accurate Contents and Value Declaration. Payment of duty and tax

An accurate description of the contents of your package, and its value, is necessary for compliance with export and import laws (see also sections 36 and 37). To help reduce the incidence of errors, we will frequently request a copy of the merchant’s invoice or order confirmation establishing the price paid for your goods. However, you are solely responsible for the correctness and accuracy of all information you provide to Jetkrate regarding the contents of your package and the value. You agree to indemnify and hold Jetkrate harmless from any liability for any under-declaration of value or other misrepresentations you might make. You acknowledge that:
  1. Packages may be inspected at any time by export and import authorities. Packages with misleading product descriptions or under-declared valuations may be delayed by the relevant Customs authorities, who may dispute and correct the declaration – in which case, you might possibly have to pay additional duty, fines or penalties.
  2. Assuming you have provided accurate information for the customs declaration and Customs does not dispute the value, the amount of tax and duty actually charged by your country’s Customs authority may differ from the amount you paid us. Here’s why:
    - Tax and duty are based on the “dutiable value” of the goods. We calculate the tax and duty as accurately as we can, after your package is inspected, weighed and measured, and ready for dispatch at our export facility. You pay us those calculated amounts of tax and duty, along with our shipping charge, when you release your shipment. Your Jetkrate invoice includes a breakdown of the shipping charge, tax, and duty.
    - We arrange payment of the duty and tax to local Customs authorities on your behalf. The actual tax and duty paid sometimes turns out to be higher or lower than the amount we calculated, for a number of reasons. For example, the Customs authority in your country may assign your goods a different customs code from the one we used; or Customs may (for whatever reason) use a different formula to calculate the duty; or the calculation may be affected by a change in currency exchange rates between the time of our calculation and the time the tax and duty is paid to Customs authorities. In such situations, you will not receive a refund or be charged extra for the difference; this is due to the administrative time and costs that such arrangements would require.

34. Shipping charges

As noted in section 10, the international shipping and handling charges generated by our Shipping Cost Calculator are estimates only. The Shipping Cost Calculator's estimate may differ from the final shipping charges which can only be determined once we have received the package at your Jetkrate address.

  1. You are responsible for payment of all actual international shipping and handling charges, even if they differ from the original estimated cost.
  2. Volumetric weight may apply on bulky, lightweight packages. Volumetric weight is calculated by multiplying height by width and length in inches and dividing by 305 to produce a weight expressed in kilos. (See our Volumetric Weight FAQ for full explanation).
  3. Your final cost will include any applicable country-specific government-mandated clearance fees in addition to duty, tax, shipping, and fuel surcharges if applicable.

35. Delivery

  1. Jetkrate will make every reasonable effort to deliver the shipment to you according to the delivery company's regular schedules, but these are not guaranteed and do not form part of the agreement between us. Jetkrate is not liable for any damage or loss caused by delivery company delays.
  2. Shipments can be delivered directly to most addresses (except post office boxes). However, in certain remote areas, you may be need to pick up your package from the closest DHL service point.

36. Compilance with Law: No illegal Materials or Prohibited Goods.

You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect in the country from which the goods are shipped, and in the country in which the goods are received. You will not use or attempt to use Jetkrate to receive or send illegal, hazardous or dangerous materials, prohibited goods, or controlled substances. Goods are unacceptable for shipment if:

  1. they are in Jetkrate's list of Prohibited Items;
  2. the goods are classified as hazardous material, dangerous goods, or articles prohibited or restricted by IATA (International Air Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation), export control laws and regulations, import or customs regulations, or any of the laws or regulations of any applicable government department or other relevant organization; or
  3. we decide that we cannot transport an item safely or legally (such items include but are not limited to: animals, currency, bearer-form negotiable instruments, precious metals and stones, firearms, parts thereof and ammunition, pornography and illegal narcotics/drugs).

37. Export and Import Compilance

You acknowledge and agree that:
  1. You will comply with all applicable export and import laws and regulations;
  2. Jetkrate will at all times comply with all applicable export and import laws, and we will refuse to ship any package which we know or have reason to suspect is in violation of such laws;
  3. We will refuse to ship any item that requires an export or import license;
  4. You will not use or attempt to use Jetkrate to receive or send:
    1. any items that are specially designed, modified, adapted or configured for a military application; or
    2. Any dual use items that are subject to export license requirements; or
    3. any products that are intended to be used in chemical biological weapons, missile technology or nuclear proliferation.
  5. For items being exported from the US, you expressly agree not to divert, reship or forward any part of a shipment:
    1. to any country which the US Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has designated as supporting international terrorism (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria), or
    2. to any individual or entity named in: the OFAC list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons; or any of the lists maintained by the US Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security - the Denied Persons List, the Entity List, or the Unverified List; or any of the lists maintained by the US Department of State - the Debarred Parties List or the Proliferators List.
You will be liable and agree to indemnify Jetkrate for any costs, penalties or fines which may be incurred if any shipment is found to violate any of these conditions and for any legal costs that Jetkrate incurs in connection with such violations. Jetkrate will have the right to terminate your account and your use of Jetkrate services if you violate any of the above agreements and acknowledgments.

38. Limited Liability for Lost or Damaged International Shipments

Every package shipped internationally from the Jetkrate export facility is transported on a limited liability basis, relating to direct loss only and subject to the limits specified in the Warsaw Convention (currently $US 25.00/kilogram or $US 11.34/lb per shipment). All other types of loss or damage are excluded (including, but not limited to, lost profits, income, interest or future business).

39. Jetkrate Insurance

  1. Optional Coverage. If you wish to obtain coverage of shipments which have actual values greater than the liability limits listed in section 38 above, up to NZD$250 (or equivalent in other currency) calculated on the value of the goods plus shipping cost, you can add Insurance shipment value protection, covering the price paid for your goods plus the costs of transportation in respect of loss of or physical damage to the shipment. If you do not select ‘Insurance' for transportation, you assume all risks of loss or damage over the amount of Jetkrate liability as stated above in section 38.
  2. Mandatory Coverage. Insurance coverage is mandatory (required) for shipments valued at NZD$250 and above (or equivalent in other currency).This amount is calculated on the value of the goods plus shipping cost. The Insurance charge will be shown in the Shipment Release page and will be automatically added to your invoice.
  3. Damage to Used or Second-hand Goods Not Covered. Insurance will not cover damage to used or second-hand merchandise, although it will cover loss of those goods in transit.
  4. What is Not Covered. Insurance covers loss or damage during international shipment. It does not cover any of the following:
    • indirect loss or damage,
    • loss or damage caused by delays, or
    • loss or damage to the package sent by the seller to our export facility.
    • damage to used or second-hand goods.

Refunds, returns, claims

40. Lost or Damaged International Shipments.

In the case of loss or damage to all or part of a shipment, Jetkrate will refund the shipping charges for the affected package (and the price of the goods if the shipment was covered by Insurance – see section 39) by the same method as you used in paying for our services where possible. Where this is not possible we will issue a credit to your account that will be applied to your next shipment.

41. Duty and Taxes

If by chance duty and taxes have not been submitted to the relevant authorities at the time of loss or damage, Jetkrate will refund duty and taxes by the same method as you used in paying for our services where possible. Where this is not possible we would issue a credit to your account that will be applied to your next shipment. If duty and tax have been paid at the time of loss or damage, we will attempt to obtain a refund for you, although this is usually not possible.

42. Making Claims

Any claims for loss or damage (sections 40 and 41 above) must be made to Jetkrate within 14 days from the date of delivery of the package to you, failing which we will have no liability whatsoever. Claims must be made in writing, accompanied by scanned or faxed copies of the consignment note/air waybill and all supporting documents, photographs of damaged items, and relevant invoices and/or receipts for that item. See our FAQ ‘How do I make a claim?’

43. Product Returns or Exchanges.

If after delivery to you, you wish to return an item to the merchant from which you purchased it, you will need to make direct arrangements with the merchant as soon as possible for any return, refund, or exchange of items in accordance with the merchant's terms and policies. Many merchants require you to obtain advance authorization for product returns and may give you a return authorization number. We will, upon request, help to arrange return shipping to the merchant from your home country, at your cost. The original customs duty and tax cannot be recouped when returning an international shipment back to the merchant.

General

44. Modification of Jetkrate Services

We may modify or terminate our services at any time upon reasonable notice, either temporarily or permanently, without incurring any liability to you except for completing the processing of products ordered prior to the date of termination

45. Termination

You may terminate this agreement and your use of your Jetkrate account at any time.
