expensive 400kw V8 Holden VZ Commodore race cars with one of our specialist
NZV8 Race
Experiences instructors in car with you. |

operation of these performance race vehicles requires a minimum required
level of driver competence and ability. (Our
vehicles operate a 400kw 5700cc & 6000cc V8 engine & a 6-speed manual transmission)

to safely and efficiently operate the race vehicle... then your race drive

medical conditions (such as severe heart conditions, head / neck / back
conditions and/or in the advanced stages of pregnancy) should fully consider
the specific implications of their personal participation, prior to
undertaking this activity. |
| The
personal safety of our participants and staff is paramount and accordingly,
if at any time the instructor deems that you are not following safety

damage or injury... then

|
|
Any and all pre-paid NZV8 Hot Lap Gift Vouchers are able to be "upgraded" and utilised towards the participant
undertaking either of our NZV8 Race Drive Experience options, with the additional
payment of the applicable extra cost at the time of confirming the booking
date/time directly with us. |
|
Any and all pre-paid NZV8 Race Experience
Gift Vouchers are able to be "upgraded" and utilised towards the participant
undertaking our longer 8-Lap (DRIVE2 Option) NZV8 Race Drive Experience, with the additional
payment of the applicable extra cost at the time of confirming the booking
date/time directly with us. |
|
Any Gift Vouchers that are purchased directly
through any other "resellers" of our NZV8 Race Experience products are issued
directly by the resellers and any payments that you have previously
made, have been physically made directly to the individual resellers... Not to NZV8
Race Experience. |
|
In respect of any vouchers that have been issued by any resellers,
you must
fully comply with ALL of the applicable terms & conditions of the issuing
resellers in order for them to be validated... Additionally, you will also
need to fully comply with all of our
own NZV8 Race Experience standard operational terms & conditions
(Which are as published and updated from time to time upon our NZV8 Race
Experience
website) |
|
Any vouchers that have not been redeemed,
undertaken
and fully completed by their physical expiration date are unfortunately invalidated and
are entirely non-usable and non-refundable. |
|
The NZV8 Race Experience booking must have been
previously confirmed & the activity must be fully completed upon one of our
available pre-programmed event dates, prior to the expiry date of any
voucher... |
|
Please don't even bother asking if we can
just "bend" or "ignore" our standard operating terms & conditions,
due to you being "busy", or you "forgot", or some other
pressing issue you may personally have...
(If you fail to attend as required or you just don't get around to using it...
then sorry, you lose it)
|
|
In respect of any pre-paid vouchers that
you may have chosen to purchase thru any entirely separate "resellers" of
our products, please be aware that any and all payments that you may have
already made, have actually been made to the voucher "resellers" and not
directly to NZV8 Race Experience.
In the event that the voucher resellers subsequently fail to physically make
payment to NZV8 Race Experience for our driving services (due to their
liquidation or any other failure occurrence on their part) then one of
the two following options will become immediately applicable:
(1) If the "resellers financial failure" is prior
to your activity being physically completed...
- Then their non-paid "resellers" voucher will become
immediately invalidated, you will not be able to physically undertake the
activity
- You would then also need to subsequently deal directly
with the "reseller" voucher issuer directly in respect getting refunded back
any money that you may have already paid directly to the "reseller".
- You could however rearrange and reconfirm your activity
booking by rebooking and paying NZV8 Race Experience for it directly.
(2) If the "resellers financial failure" is subsequent
to your physically having already completed your booked and programmed drive
activity...
- Then any subsequent non-payment to NZV8 Race Experience
for the driving services that you had already physically received directly
from us will leave you personally liable to NZV8 Race Experience for the
outstanding and unpaid fees for the service that you have already physically
received.
- You would then also need to subsequently deal directly
with the "reseller" voucher issuer directly in respect of getting refunded
back any money that you may have already paid directly to the "reseller". |
|
This type of financial failure and/or
liquidation of "voucher resellers" and "cheap deal voucher providers" is not
unheard of in New Zealand and can leave their voucher holders substantially
out of pocket and unable to redeem their then worthless vouchers...
Example:
- In January 2010, Total Experience went into a
voluntary liquidation and virtually all the money "disappeared" which left
thousands of their Total Experience voucher holders without their money and
also without the ability to redeem their then totally worthless vouchers.
(EG: "If you choose to book and pay directly with a travel agent
and the travel agent then goes bust... Then it is not the airline's nor the
island resort's responsibility to give you flights and accommodation that
they themselves have never been physically paid for")
- Choosing to make and pay for your bookings
directly with the actual "service provider" eliminates the middle man and
subsequently minimises the likelihood of this type of thing
detrimentally affecting you. |
