Template Use & Disclaimer
Effective 17 October 2026
NZQC sells editable administrative templates and educational resources, not professional certification, legal advice or guaranteed compliance outcomes. Your rights under New Zealand law remain unaffected.
1. What NZQC supplies
NZQC supplies downloadable editable templates, registers, checklists, planners and related guidance intended to support organisation, internal monitoring and recordkeeping. A purchase does not create a professional advisory, legal, engineering, inspection or certification relationship.
2. Not professional advice or certification
Products are general administrative resources, not legal, regulatory, engineering, building, fire-safety, health and safety or other professional advice. They do not replace required inspections, professional sign-offs, statutory forms, approved compliance schedules, evacuation schemes or regulatory approvals. NZQC does not guarantee that using a template satisfies any particular law, standard, tender or regulatory requirement.
3. Your responsibilities
You are responsible for deciding whether a product is suitable for your situation, checking current applicable requirements, reviewing and adapting templates, verifying information you enter, and ensuring actions and records are completed by appropriately competent or authorised people. Seek professional advice, inspections, certification or approval where required.
4. Accuracy, updates and outcomes
We aim to describe our products accurately and provide working files suitable for their stated purpose. Laws, standards and guidance can change; unless a product expressly promises updates, a purchase does not include ongoing monitoring or future revisions. Outcomes depend on your circumstances, information, decisions and implementation. No particular legal, regulatory, operational or commercial result is guaranteed.
5. Use, modifications and limitations
To the extent permitted by applicable law, NZQC is not responsible for consequences arising solely from your independent decisions, incorrect information you enter, unauthorised alterations, or use outside a product's stated purpose. This does not exclude responsibility for NZQC's own misleading statements, defects, breaches of law or other liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.
6. Statutory rights
Nothing on this page excludes, restricts or modifies any right, guarantee, remedy or liability where doing so would be unlawful, including applicable rights under the Fair Trading Act 1986 and Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. Any limitations apply only to the extent permitted by New Zealand law. This page does not override any specific purchase terms that give you additional rights.
7. Read before purchasing
Review the individual product description, file formats, inclusions, limitations and instructions before buying. Contact NZQC through the website if you need clarification about what a product includes. This page is intended to explain product boundaries transparently; it is not a substitute for the purchase terms or privacy policy.
