These terms of use apply to nzrugbyhistory.co.nz. By using the site you accept them. If you do not agree with the terms, please do not use the site.
About the site
nzrugbyhistory.co.nz is an independent information site about the history of rugby in New Zealand. It covers national teams, domestic competitions, international tournaments, trophies, rivalries and the game’s traditions. The site is represented by the website’s owner.
The site is free to read and does not require an account. We do not sell tickets, merchandise or memberships, and we do not run competitions.
nzrugbyhistory.co.nz is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to New Zealand Rugby, World Rugby, any provincial union, any Super Rugby club or any national team. Team names, competition names, logos and trade marks mentioned on the site belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify and describe them.
Information only – not advice
Everything on the site is general information. Our articles describe matches, records, people and events as accurately as we can, but they are not an official record and should not be treated as one.
Articles about equipment and the playing of the game, such as pieces on rugby boots or rugby balls, are general background. They are not professional, medical, coaching or safety advice. If you need advice for your own situation, speak to a suitably qualified person.
Limitation of liability
We work to keep the information on the site correct and up to date, and we check facts before publishing. Even so, we cannot guarantee that every page is complete, accurate or current at all times. Rugby records change with each new match, historical sources sometimes disagree, and errors can occur.
You use the information on the site at your own risk. To the extent permitted by law, the website’s owner is not liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of the site or from reliance on its content, or from the site being unavailable.
If accuracy matters for your purpose, for example for study, publication or a quiz night with something riding on it, please confirm key facts with an official source.
Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under New Zealand law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Links to other websites
The site contains links to external websites, such as official rugby bodies, reference works and news organisations. We provide these so that you can check sources and read further.
A link is not an endorsement. We do not control external websites and are not responsible for their content, availability or accuracy, or for how they handle personal information. Each external site has its own terms and privacy policy, which apply when you visit it.
