Welcome to weru.co.nz, a platform powered by Soomi NZ Limited that allows you to connect with other users and businesses in your City (WERU). This agreement describes your rights and responsibilities as a user of WERU and as a weru.co.nz member (Member) and what you can expect from us.

Once you are a Member you will be able to display your business and access additional features of WERU. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms, please do not use WERU.
You agree that from time-to-time we may need to send service notifications and community notices from WERU and on behalf of our partners to you in the following ways: (1) within the WERU private messaging, or (2) sent to the contact information you provided us (e.g., email, mobile number, physical address). If you do not agree to having a private messaging account or providing us your contact information for these purposes, we will not be able to provide you with a WERU registration.
We reserve the right to change these Terms at any time. The terms and conditions were last updated on 01/03/2021 and the most recent copy of terms will also be available on www.weru.co.nz. By continuing to use WERU, you agree to be bound by the amended terms of use.

- Each Business can only have one account per business.

Content
You retain all ownership rights to the content (text, photos, video or otherwise) you submit to WERU.co.nz (collectively, your "Content"). You warrant you are entitled to make available for the intended use any Content you upload. You acknowledge that others may have access to such Content as described in our Privacy Policy. WERU may also offer you the ability to share Content publicly (a 'Public Post') to all WERU members or platforms and anyone else who is using the WERU website.
WERU member Content should not be reproduced in any way outside of the member's own community without the express permission of the member who has published and/or owns the Content. This includes text, photos, videos and otherwise.
However, whenever you upload Content on publicly viewable screens or pages, that information will be publicly available. We cannot control who reads your Content or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your Content.
Conduct
We take care to protect the rights of all users of WERU and we expect that our Members will do the same. You must ensure that you abide by our Terms & Conditions & Privacy Policy (or any other Member Guidelines posted by us) at all times.
WERU reserves the right to remove any content it deems an inappropriate or not fit for purpose on the WERU platform.
You understand that, where you allow a third party to use your WERU login, we will deem this to be your conduct and you will be responsible for that conduct. Where we determine that there has been a breach of the WERU Guidelines or there has been Inappropriate Conduct, we may terminate your registration in our sole discretion and report this breach to the relevant law enforcement agency.
Should you become aware of any breach of the WERU Guidelines, Inappropriate Conduct or members whom you know may harm a business, please let us know so that we may review and, where we consider appropriate, take action.
Email Registration
By registering with WERU you consent to sign up to receive email communication or mobile text messages from WERU and our associated partners, we may continue to provide this information to you until you indicate otherwise. You may opt out of receiving email communication at any time by emailing info@soomi.co.nz
Security
You must ensure that any username and password you have as a Member is kept secure and confidential and not revealed to any other person. Any use of WERU (including posting content, communicating with others or changing your account settings, etc.) using your Member Account will be deemed to be your use. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your username and/or password or any other breach of security. Upon your notification we will cease to rely on that username and password.
As no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit or receive through WERU. These activities are conducted at your own risk.
Liability
You agree to indemnify and hold us and our officers and employees harmless from any claims, actions, costs (including legal costs) or losses by us or any third party due to or arising out of:
- reasonable reliance by us or any third party upon any acts carried out, requests made or information provided through the use of your registration (including your username and/or password);
- your breach of any of these Terms; or
- any conduct of yours or any transaction entered into by you that does not comply with the relevant law or infringes any third party right, including intellectual property rights.

- that WERU will meet your requirements, including fitness for purpose;
- that WERU will operate uninterrupted, secure or error–free;
- that any monitoring of conduct of Members will prevent all Inappropriate Conduct;
- concerning any Content submitted by any other Member;
- concerning third party information. Such information is being made available by us as a free service. While we will not knowingly provide incorrect information we may not be able to verify all third party information on WERU, and so you should not rely on it without first making your own enquiries. We do not guarantee or certify the accuracy of the third party information. Any reliance on the information is at your own risk;
- that any feature of WERU will continue to be supported;
- concerning any site or resources made available on WERU, including any direct link to a website not owned by WERU. WERU makes no representations about third party operated websites and, if you visit a linked website, you will be subject to the terms of that website and any dealing will be solely between you and that other website. These links do not imply our endorsement of that other website or product or service being advertised (as applicable) or any association with their operators unless this is specifically stated on the Website.
- You acknowledge and agree that WERU is not responsible or a party to any transaction or arrangement that you enter into with any third party using WERU. You enter into any transaction or arrangement at your own risk.
Termination
You or we may terminate this agreement at any time. Without limiting the foregoing, we have the right to immediately terminate any registration in the event of any conduct by the Member which we, in our sole discretion, consider to be unacceptable, or in the event of a failure by the Member to comply with any of these Terms.
