This service can be added to the Morepork Self-Monitoring service only, or available after purchasing a Morepork Security Starter Kit along with a Morepork Professional Response Service from www.morepork.nz.

In order to provide you with safe and secure security services, we also use Morepork Suppliers for certain functions. We explain this further below.

The Terms apply to all Morepork customers from the time they sign up to the Services and create a Morepork account (“Account”). We have used “we”, “us” and “our” for Digilife New Zealand Limited, and “you” and “your” for you – our valued customer. By signing up to an Account, you agree to the Terms. It is important that you read the Terms carefully because they contain, among other things, important warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability applicable to the Services and the Products.
Our Privacy Policy and Website Terms of Use also apply to the Products and Services and form part of our agreement with you. These are available at morepork.nz/terms-conditions.

Morepork is a range of Smart Home Products and Services. For further information about the Products and Services and related charges, check the Morepork Website at morepork.nz for Morepork Self-Monitoring and Professional Response Service or www.moreporkvideo.nz for Morepork Video Service.

Please note that (other than where our Morepork Suppliers, which include Alarm.com, Alarm Watch and First Security, provide Services to you under these Terms) the Terms do not apply to any products or services that any third party providers agree to provide you, and/or you agree to pay for, under separate agreements between you and them. For example your mobile, broadband or electricity service providers, or third party providers of any devices, equipment, products and/or services you choose to use with your Morepork, including providers of Works with Morepork devices, equipment, products and services or any Morepork products you have not purchased directly from us (or from our authorised retailers) as new.

2. What you need to use Morepork

To use the Morepork Products and Services you need to:

  • live in New Zealand;
  • be 18 years of age or older;
  • have Spark Mobile Network Coverage at the location where your control panel is located (visit spark.co.nz/4g/ to determine if Services are available in your area) for the Morepork Self-Monitoring/Professional Response Service ;
  • have an active broadband connection and electricity at the property where you wish to use the Products and Services;
  • have a valid and current email address;
  • have a valid debit/credit card;

  • and (if you wish to have monitoring and response services) agree to a Professional Response Service with Alarm Watch; and
  • agree to, and comply with, the Terms, Our Privacy Policy and Our Website Terms of Use.

Where you choose a Professional Response Service, you will need to set up, and agree to, a Professional Response Service with Alarm Watch (or other monitoring and response service providers, as the case may be). The Professional Response Team at Alarm Watch – cannot monitor your property, or provide response services to you, until you have completed the form to set up, and agreed to, a Professional Response Service. If you choose this option, you will be directed to their website at the time you set up your Account. Where this is the case you:

1) will need to agree to the terms of a Professional Response Service including, but not limited to:

  • the steps to be taken by Alarm Watch in the event of an Alarm Activation or Fire Alert
  • the estimated response time a First Security (or other response service provider) guard will take before they attend your premises;
  • the steps a First Security (or other response service provider) guard can take when visiting your premises. Where this requires entry onto your property you will need to consent to that entry;
  • acknowledge that guard call out services (i.e. First Security) are not available everywhere and guard call-out fees apply.

2) acknowledge that we, and our third party suppliers, are not responsible for matters agreed as part of the Professional Response Service that are outside our, or our third party suppliers’, control. For example, where unforeseeable weather conditions or traffic affect response times for First Security guards to attend your premises or the Emergency Services fail to attend the property.

Any terms which are agreed as part of the Professional Response Service form part of these Terms.

You will also need to make sure that:

  • you have a compatible mobile (or other) device which has an operating system that is compatible with the Morepork iOS/Android App (visit morepork.nz/support to find out whether your device will work with the Morepork App); and

If your mobile device, or any other device, that you use to access the Services has been lost or stolen, we recommend you turn off your auto-login, so that the Morepork App cannot be easily accessed (visit morepork.nz/support to find out more information on how to do this).

Once any issues have been resolved (either through termination or reinstatement of the Services), we will backdate amounts due by or payable to you, to the date the Services were withheld, suspended or restricted.

Where we withhold, suspend, disconnect or restrict your Service as a result of you not meeting a responsibility you have to us, we may require that your Account be paid in full. The reconnection will be subject to our standard credit approval.

If you continue not to meet a responsibility you have to us, such as paying Charges owing, we will permanently disconnect your Services and terminate this agreement. If we are going to permanently disconnect your Services, we will give you at least 48 hours’ notice.

Where we permanently disconnect your Services and terminate this agreement, you will remain liable for all Charges incurred up to the date of a withholding, suspension or restriction. Where such disconnection is before the end of your Minimum Term, we reserve the right to charge you an Early Exit Fee. Your final bill will also set out, and you will remain liable to pay, any outstanding Instalment Payments or other outstanding Charges.

9. Consumer protection legislation and liability

If you are a consumer, it is important that you understand that any rights you may have, or obligations we may have to you, under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986 apply alongside these Terms, and are not affected by anything in this clause 9. The website consumeraffairs.govt.nz is a useful place to visit to help you understand your rights under this legislation.

If you are using the Products or Services for the purposes of a business as defined in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you acknowledge that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the provisions of that Act do not apply to the Services that we provide to you under this agreement.

You will be liable to us, including for all Charges, in the following circumstances:

  • where you breach the Terms or any other agreement we have with you; or
  • where anyone authorised by you breaches the Terms or any other agreement we have with you.

You will not be liable for any loss to the extent that it is caused by us (for example, through our breach of the Terms or where our staff have acted negligently).

You agree to indemnify us and our Morepork Suppliers from and against any loss, damage, liability, costs or expenses (including legal expenses) suffered or incurred by us, or our Morepork Suppliers in connection with any breach by you of these Terms to the extent that such a breach is not caused by our or our Morepork Suppliers’ negligence.

We will be liable to you in the following circumstances:

  • where we breach the Terms or any other agreement we have with you.
  • where we are liable under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986.

Neither we nor our Morepork Suppliers, including Alarm.com, will be liable:

  • for any loss to the extent that it is caused by you or anyone authorised by you (for example, through your breach of the Terms or your negligence) or for any circumstances referred to in clause 16.
  • for any indirect or consequential loss, or for any loss of profits, use, revenue, goodwill, business or anticipated business or anticipated profits or savings, or loss of data, even if we or our Morepork Suppliers have been advised of the possibility of such losses (whether in contract, tort including negligence, equity or otherwise).

You may become aware that you have suffered loss before we do. If you suffer any loss as a result of the Products or Services, you agree to take reasonable steps to avoid or minimise your loss and that neither we nor our Morepork Suppliers are liable for any loss to the extent that such loss could have been reduced if you had taken reasonable steps to do so.

No other Spark or Alarm.com company (including their officers, employees, contractors and agents) will be liable to you for loss or damage of any kind arising from your use of the Products or Services. This clause creates a right and benefit that other Spark-related or Alarm.com-related companies can enforce as a defence to any claim.

10. Limitation of liability

If we or any of the other parties listed in clause 9 above (us and our Morepork suppliers including, without limitation, Alarm.com) are ever liable to you for any reason, the maximum combined amount we and all the other parties listed in clause 9 (together) will have to pay you and anyone else who uses the Services or Products will be:

  • $500 for any event or for any series of related events; and
  • a total of $1,200 in respect of all events in any 12 month period,

provided that you notify us of your claim within 12 months after you reasonably became aware of the occurrence of the relevant event or series or events that gave rise to your claim. These limitations do not limit any rights you may have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986.

11. Information about you

On termination, you must pay us all Charges that are due, including all Instalment Payments and an Early Exit Fee where applicable.

Terminating this agreement does not affect any rights and responsibilities which are intended to continue or come into force afterwards, including any obligation you may have to pay any outstanding Charges.

We can terminate the agreement:

  • where you or anyone authorised by you does not comply with these Terms; and/or
  • at any time and for any reason. We will give you 30 days notice if we decide to terminate, unless you or anyone authorised by you have not complied with these Terms.

Where we decide to terminate the agreement, except where you or anyone authorised by you have not complied with these Terms, then you will not be liable to pay an Early Exit Fee.

When your Account is cancelled or terminated, we will retain the details you provided at sign-up stage (other than your debit/credit card details) for a reasonable time to make reactivation easier if you want to subscribe again in the future. If you cancel your Morepork Service, and want your Account details deleted, please contact our Support Team on chat at morepork.nz/contact.

In the event of termination or expiration of this agreement or your Account, each term and provision of this agreement that would by its very nature or terms survive any termination or expiration of this agreement, including, without limitation, clauses 9 (Consumer Protection legislation and liability) and 10 (Limitation of liability) shall survive any termination or expiration of this agreement, regardless of the cause thereof.

16. Other matters

When things happen that we cannot control (Force Majeure)

We aim to provide quality services to you at all times, and exercise reasonable skill and care in performing our obligations to you. However, if we are prevented from performing any obligation in these Terms by reason of any act of God, act of State, riot, insurrection, civil commotion, strike, sanctions, boycott, embargo or any other circumstance beyond our reasonable control, we will try to advise you of the existence of the circumstances and its expected duration, and the obligations that are impacted by the circumstances. Our performance of these Terms and provision of Services to you will, to the extent that it is made impossible or impracticable by such circumstances (despite us taking reasonable steps to provide the Services) be suspended until such circumstances cease to exist. We are not liable to you for any failure or delay in performing any obligation set out in these Terms in the circumstances contemplated by this clause. You will not be required to pay any Charges for any Services to the extent that such Services are not provided by us due to the circumstances contemplated by this clause.

Severability

Each term of this agreement is separately binding. If for any reason any term is not legally effective, all other terms shall remain binding.

Waiver

A failure or delay by you or us to enforce any rights or powers under this agreement shall not operate as a waiver of that right or power. A waiver of any breach of this agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
