Terms of use

The terms and conditions (“Terms of Use”) set out below operate as a binding contract between you and us. Who are we? We are Blackwell and Ruth Limited (“B&R”, “we”, “our”, “us”), the founder of the Truth, Love & Clean Cutlery guidebooks and digital platform (“TL&CC”) and the website www.truthloveandcleancutlery.com (the “Website”). We’re not big fans of small print, but we will try to be truthful with you at all times and as such we set out below the terms and conditions that will govern your use of the Website. By using any services offered by the Website you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use, and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, then we ask you not to use the Website or any other services offered by the Website. If you do use the Website or other services, we’ll assume you have agreed to these Terms of Use, including any changes that we may make to them at a later date.

Law and juristiction

TL&CC and the Website are operated by B&R with a registered office in New Zealand. With the exception of mandatory national laws to the contrary, these Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws of New Zealand. Your use of the Services may also be subject to other laws. We both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts and agree that the courts of New Zealand are a convenient forum for the purpose of hearing any dispute in relation to these Terms of Use.

The services

Through the Website, TL&CC offers features and functions (what we call ‘the love’, also known as the “Services”) which allow you to upload content and access, read, use and comment on content licensed to TL&CC by its members (the “Members”, which form part of the Services) and other third parties. We love to share. But at all times your personal information will be treated in accordance with B&R’s Privacy Policy.

If you are a Member, you are not required to register an account but you need to pay a subscription to access the Member Services offered by TL&CC.

Membership subscriptions

Some Member Services, including featuring on the Website and social media platforms, and access to a regular newsletter and a planned private Facebook group, are offered only to users with a membership subscription (a “Subscription”). Only users who have been selected for inclusion in the TL&CC guidebooks by an editorial team appointed entirely at B&R’s sole discretion (“Editors”) and determined as complying with TL&CC’s Mission Statement published annually by BAR (“Guidebooks”) are eligible for a Subscription. After the cancellation or expiry of a Subscription, you will no longer have access to those Member Services that form part of the Subscription. You will still have access the features we offer for free on the Website.

Disclaimer of warranties

TL&CC may not be available in all languages or in all countries. B&R makes no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use in any particular location.

You acknowledge and agree that, due to the nature of the Internet and the Services, all services are to the maximum extent permitted by law provided ‘as is’, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

B&R does not guarantee, represent, or warrant that your use of the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free. You agree that from time to time B&R may remove or suspend the Services for indefinite periods of time without notice to you. B&R does not represent or guarantee that the Services will be free from loss, corruption, attack, viruses, interference, hacking, or other security intrusion, and B&R disclaims any liability relating thereto.

You expressly agree that your use of, or inability to use, the Services is at your sole risk. Whilst B&R will make every effort to ensure the security and storage of any material that you submit or upload through the Website, you acknowledge that there is an inherent risk of loss of data for which B&R and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, or licensors are not liable. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, the above exclusion of implied warranties may not apply to you.

B&R shall use reasonable efforts to protect information submitted by you in connection with the Services, but you agree that your submission of such information is at your sole risk, and B&R hereby disclaims any and all liability to you for any loss or liability relating to such information in any way.

Limitations & exclusions liability

B&R expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for any material uploaded through the Website.

These limitations in this section and DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES above may not apply to you. The laws of certain states or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions, or limitations may not apply to you, and you may also have additional rights.

Nothing in these Terms of Use is intended to avoid the provisions of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 except to the extent permitted by that Act, or to exclude liability arising under any other statute, if and to the extent that such liability cannot be lawfully excluded, and these Terms of Use shall be modified to the extent necessary to give effect to that intention. If you are acquiring goods or services for the purposes of a business you agree that the guarantees provided in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 shall not apply. We do not provide any express guarantees (as that term is defined in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993) other than those expressly confirmed in these Terms of Use.

To the extent permitted by law, in no event shall B&R be liable for personal injury or any incidental, special, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever, including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or any other commercial damages or losses, arising out of or related to your use or inability to use the Services, however caused, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, or otherwise) and even if B&R has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability for personal injury, or of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation may not apply to you. In no event shall B&R’s (including B&R's directors, officers, shareholders, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, and licensors) total liability to you for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the amount of fifty US dollars (USD $50.00). The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.

In some states or jurisdictions, limitation or exclusion of liability is only permitted where such limitation is fair and/or reasonable. You agree that B&R provides a comprehensive service at a fair cost and, having considered all matters, you agree that the limitations of liability set out in these Terms of Use are fair and reasonable.

You and B&R agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Website or the Services must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

Waiver & indemnity

By using the Services, you agree to indemnify and hold B&R, its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, and licensors harmless with respect to any claims arising out of your breach of these Terms of Use, your use of the Services, or any action taken by B&R as part of its investigation of a suspected violation of these Terms of Use or as a result of its finding or decision that a violation of these Terms of Use has occurred. B&R, its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, and licensors shall not be liable to you as a result of any decision to remove or refuse to process any information or content, to warn you, to suspend or terminate your access to the Services, or to take any other action during the investigation of a suspected violation or as a result of B&R’s conclusion that a violation of these Terms of Use has occurred. This waiver and indemnity provision applies to all violations described in or contemplated by these Terms of Use.
