Website Terms of Use
The terms you are agreeing to by using this site. Our work is our own and it is not licensed to you.
Last updated: 8 September 2026
This website is operated by Corby Digital Group Limited, trading as VF - The Kapiti Digital Agency ("VF", "we", "us"). By using it you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.
These terms cover the website only. Work we do for clients is governed by the separate agreement we sign with that client, and where the two differ, that agreement wins.
Using this site
You may view this site, and you may link to it. Sharing a link is always welcome and needs no permission - a link is not a copy.
Everything else requires our written permission first.
You may not copy, download, reproduce, republish, adapt, edit, re-upload, frame or redistribute any part of this site. That includes the text, the design, the code, the photography, the graphics and - in particular - the video.
The video on this site is not stock footage. It was produced by us, at our cost, and it is the single most valuable thing here. Downloading it, re-uploading it, cutting it into your own content or passing it off as your work is copyright infringement, and we treat it as such.
You also may not scrape this site to build a competing service or train a commercial product on it, attempt to break into it or disrupt it for others, or use it for anything unlawful.
If you want to use something, ask. Email info@vfdigital.nz and tell us what you want and what for. We are usually happy to say yes, and it costs you one email. Taking it without asking costs a great deal more.
What we own
The writing, design, code, photography, graphics and video on this site are original works owned by us, or used under licence, and are protected by the Copyright Act 1994. Copyright exists from the moment a work is created and requires no registration in New Zealand.
"VF" and the VF mark are ours.
Client names and logos in our portfolio remain the property of those clients and appear with their knowledge. Nothing here grants you any right to use them either.
Nothing on this site is licensed to you. Viewing a page does not give you a licence to anything on it. No right, title or interest passes to you by using the site, and no licence should be inferred from us not having objected to something yet.
If you infringe
We monitor for unauthorised use of our work, particularly the video and photography.
Where we find it, we will require immediate removal. The Copyright Act 1994 gives a copyright owner the right to seek an injunction, damages, or an account of the profits made from the infringement, and under section 131 infringement on a commercial scale can be a criminal offence carrying a fine or imprisonment.
We would much rather send you a licence than a letter. But we will send the letter.
One honest caveat, because pretending otherwise would be worthless: the Copyright Act contains statutory exceptions - fair dealing for criticism, review, news reporting, research or private study under sections 42 and 43. Those are rights Parliament gave you and nothing in these terms removes them. A term claiming to override them would simply be unenforceable, so we do not pretend to. Everything outside those narrow exceptions needs our permission.
Accuracy, and the limits of it
We write what we believe to be true and correct things when we find they are not. Search engines, advertising platforms and the law all change, sometimes quickly, and an article accurate when written may not stay that way.
Nothing here is professional advice for your situation. Articles about SEO, advertising, hosting or web development are general information. What is right for one business is often wrong for another. Before acting on anything here, talk to us or to someone else qualified who knows your circumstances.
Nothing on this site is legal, financial or tax advice.
Links to other sites
We link to other websites where they are useful. We do not control them and we are not responsible for what they contain or do. A link is not an endorsement.
Your obligations to us
If you send us material - a brief, images, copy, logins - you confirm you have the right to give it to us and that using it will not infringe anyone else's rights.
Do not send us confidential information through the contact form. It is not an encrypted channel. Phone us instead and we will find a sensible way to receive it.
Liability
We provide this website as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from your use of it, from it being unavailable, or from you acting on general information published here.
This does not limit your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986. Where you are a consumer as those Acts define it, nothing in these terms takes away the rights they give you, and any part of these terms that tried to would simply not apply.
Where you are acquiring our services for business purposes, sections 43 of the Consumer Guarantees Act and 5D of the Fair Trading Act allow those Acts to be contracted out of, and the terms of our client agreement will set out what applies.
Availability
We aim to keep the site up and fast, and we measure both. We do not promise it will never be unavailable. We may change, move or remove any page without notice.
Privacy
How we handle personal information is set out in our Privacy & Cookie Policy, which forms part of these terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by New Zealand law. Any dispute goes to the courts of New Zealand, which have exclusive jurisdiction.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed, and continuing to use the site after that means you accept the current version.
