The babyballet® Website
Terms and Conditions of Use

Hi, and welcome to the magical world of babyballet. My name is Twinkle the babyballet® Bear and I’m going to help you with what you are and are not allowed to do whilst on our window to the world, the babyballet website www.babyballet.co.nz (“website”).

Grandad Jack is in charge of our Website and he has given us some rules which you have to follow. If you don’t follow these rules, he says that you’re not allowed to use this website. If you do not accept these rules, please do not use our Website.

Grandad Jack says that the website is run by babyballet® Franchising Limited (“babyballet®”) and he normally refers to us as “we”, “us”, “our” or “babyballet®” (or if Teddy has been really cheeky, he’ll say “hey, Cheekies”!). We are a limited company registered in New Zealand under company number 7861092 and our registered address is 21A Kirrie Avenue, Auckland 0610. Just in case you need to know it, our GST Registration Number is 131-068-735.

If Grandad Jack says “you” or “yours” or “they” he means you lovely lot visiting our website. He also says that the Privacy Policy forms part of the rules of use of our website and you should read that too. The Privacy Policy sets out the terms on which we process any personal data we collect from you or that you provide to us.

He says that that his rules (or the terms and conditions) govern your use of our website and all the services that he allows on or through our website. From time to time we need to amend the website.

Please be aware that if you purchase goods from our website, our Terms and conditions of sale will apply to the sales.

use of our website

Grandad Jack always wants us to be safe and to have fun, so if you’re one of our babyballet® stars or if you are using an adult’s computer, laptop, tablet or phone, then please make sure that you have asked them for permission to use it. Manners are incredibly important and you should never take or use something that is not yours without asking for the owner’s permission first.

Grandad Jack says that by using our website you are agreeing to stick to his rules (the terms and conditions). He says that he can change, modify or otherwise alter these rules at any time and that they shall become effective the minute he posts the amendments to his rules on the website. If you use the website often, he says that you should review the conditions from time to time to take notice of any changes he has made, as they are binding on you. Your continued use of our website means that you are accepting any changes.
He also told me that the website should be for personal use only. I didn’t know what that meant, so he explained that our website should not be used for any commercial or business purposes at all.
