Website Terms of Use

Last updated: June 2025

Welcome to HRV. The https://www.hrv.co.nz website (the “Site”) is owned, operated and provided by Cristal Air International Limited, trading as “HRV” (“HRV”, “we” or “us”).

By accessing, downloading, using, shopping on or browsing the Site you accept and agree to be bound by these terms of use (“Website Terms”). In these Website Terms any person who accesses the Site is referred to as “you” or “your“. If you do not agree to these Website Terms you should stop using the Site.

In addition, if you shop online for consumables (for example, filters) or individual, spare parts (for example, ducting) for your HRV products then these Website Terms apply together with our Online Sales Terms and our Returns and Refunds Policy.

If you shop with us through our in-person sales team for the purchase and installation of an HRV system then our Terms and Conditions of Sale apply instead.

Changes to these Website Terms

We may change these Website Terms at any time without notice to you by updating them on the Site. The revised terms will take effect when they are updated on the Site and your continued use of the Site means you agree to the revised terms.

This is a New Zealand site

The Site is intended to be used by people in New Zealand only. If you access the Site from outside New Zealand, you will be responsible for compliance with local laws. New Zealand law governs the Site, these Website Terms and any purchase that you may make on the Site and the New Zealand courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Your use of the Site

You agree that you will not:

1. use the Site for any unlawful purpose;
2. disrupt or interfere with the Site or servers or other software, hardware or equipment connected to or via the Site;
3. introduce any viruses, trojan-horse type programs, malware or any other material that is malicious or technologically harmful to the Site;
4. copy, reproduce, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, resell, distribute, link to, or modify any part of the Site without our written consent (and, where relevant, the consent of our service providers), except to the extent expressly permitted by law;
5. create a link to the Site from any other website without our prior written consent; or
6. use the Site other than as specifically permitted by these Website Terms, the Online Sales Terms or the Returns and Refunds Policy.

You must comply with all third party licensors’ and service providers’ terms of use (for example, software providers and network service providers) when accessing and using the Site.

The above terms are also for the benefit of our licensors and service providers.

Orders and contracts

We only sell consumables and individual, spare parts for our products on the Site. If you would like to buy and have installed an HRV system (for example, a ventilation system) then please get in touch with our in-person sales team.

You do not need to create an account to be able to place an order with us. All orders will be placed and processed without needing any account.

We do our best to keep the Site up to date, but prices and product features listed on the Site may not be current or complete. Therefore, the information presented on the Site (including product pricing) is an invitation to treat and not an offer by us to supply goods to you. If you place an order using the Site then that is a binding offer from you to us, which we may accept in accordance with our Online Sales Terms.

Any contract for supply that is formed between us is subject to our Online Sales Terms and our Returns and Refunds Policy.
