Terms & Conditions

Issued by Lifestyle Publishing Ltd 

The Terms and Conditions detailed here govern the use of the Wildernessmag.co.nz website and ancillary services. You can access this Agreement at any time from menu at the bottom of every page on this website.

Please read this Agreement. Wilderness’s website provides an enjoyable and informative experience, but its users must abide by certain rules. Using the website will constitute your agreement to comply with these rules.

Use of Wilderness’s website by You
Your right to use the Wilderness Site (Wilderness, or Wilderness Site) is personal to you. You may not authorise others to use the service, and you are responsible for all of your own use of the service.

Other than connecting to Wilderness servers by HTTPS requests using a web browser, you may not attempt to gain access to Wilderness servers by any means – including, without limitation, by using administrator passwords or by masquerading as an administrator while using the Wilderness Site or otherwise.

You agree not to disrupt, modify or interfere with the service or its associated software, hardware and servers in any way and you agree not to impede or interfere with others’ use of the Wilderness Site. You further agree not to alter or tamper with any information or materials on, or associated with, the Wilderness Site.

You acknowledge that Wilderness has not reviewed and does not endorse the content of all sites linked to or from this site and is not responsible for the content or actions of any other sites linked to or from the Wilderness Site. Linking to any other service or site from the Wilderness Site is at your sole risk.

The Wilderness website is designed to be shared and used in a similar fashion to the print magazine. We cannot police usage and urge all subscribers to act honestly. We therefore ask that Wilderness subscribers do not share their website login details with another person, thereby allowing that person free access to the Wilderness website. Fair-use exceptions can be made to the partner or immediate family of a subscriber where, just as with the print magazine, such sharing would be expected to take place. An example of inappropriate sharing of login details is where a group or organisation such as a tramping club or business that has a paid subscription shares the website login details with multiple members or employees.

All of the content featured or displayed on the site, including, but not limited to still images, text, pictorial works, video, graphic designs, audio recordings, multimedia combinations, and computer programmes, including web-based programmes is owned or licensed by Lifestyle Publishing. It is not permitted for anyone to copy, download or use any content on this website without prior permission.

You agree to only purchase goods or services for yourself or for another person for whom you are legally permitted to do so.
