These terms cover this site
These terms govern your use of the-bench.co.nz during the pre-launch waitlist phase. When the platform launches, separate contractor and business terms will apply and you'll be asked to accept them before using the platform.
What the waitlist is
Joining the waitlist is an expression of interest — it does not guarantee a place in the founding cohort. We review applications, and we may decline any application at our discretion.
Acceptable use
Don't submit email addresses you don't own. Don't attempt to attack, probe, or overload the site. Don't use the site to harass or mislead anyone.
No warranties
This site is provided on an "as is" basis. We make no warranties about uptime, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose during the pre-launch phase. Your statutory rights under New Zealand consumer law are not affected.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. Continued use after a change means you accept the new terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
