Terms of use
By using homefinder you agree to these terms. They're short on purpose.
1. It's a beta
homefinder is being tested with a small group, free of charge. Things may change, break or be missing. Tell us when they do: that's the point of the beta. We may end the beta; if we do, you'll be able to download your data first.
2. Information, not advice
Scores, estimated prices, suggested offers, hazard and zoning summaries and the development outlook are guides worked out from public data and what you enter. They are not a valuation, a building report, a LIM, legal advice or financial advice. Public data can be out of date or wrong. Before you make an offer, check the LIM, get a building inspection and, where it matters, a registered valuation, and talk to a lawyer and your mortgage adviser.
3. Your account
Accounts are by invitation during the beta. Keep your password to yourself; you're responsible for what happens under your account. One person per account.
4. Your content
What you put in stays yours. You let us store and process it only to run the service for you (see the privacy policy). Only save listing links and photos you're allowed to use. homefinder doesn't copy listings from Trade Me, realestate.co.nz or other sites; it keeps the link you save and looks up public data about the address.
5. Fair use
Don't try to break into the service or other people's accounts, overload it, or use it to collect data in bulk. We can suspend accounts that do.
6. Public data
Some information comes from public sources under their own licences (for example Stats NZ, the Ministry of Education, councils and OpenStreetMap contributors). Each source is named next to the information it provides.
7. Liability
We take care, but we can't promise the service or the data will always be accurate or available. To the extent the law allows, Eastland Technology Ltd isn't liable for decisions made using homefinder. Nothing here limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986 where they apply.
