Terms and Conditions

By selecting the checkbox confirming acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, placing an order, or accepting delivery of fuel, the client confirms that they have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by this agreement.

Skip The Pump Ltd provides on-demand delivery of petrol and diesel strictly as a delivery and transfer service. Skip The Pump Ltd does not provide advice, inspection, certification, testing, assessment, or verification of vehicles, vessels, equipment, storage containers, fuel systems, engines, or any associated components. The client acknowledges that Skip The Pump Ltd has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the condition, suitability, safety, maintenance, or compliance of any item receiving fuel.

All fuel is supplied on an “as is” basis at the point of transfer. To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, Skip The Pump Ltd makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees, express or implied, regarding the quality, condition, performance, suitability, compatibility, fitness for purpose, or merchantability of the fuel for any particular use. The client accepts that fuel quality may be affected by factors outside the control of Skip The Pump Ltd, including but not limited to upstream supply, storage conditions, temperature, handling after delivery, contamination within the client’s equipment, or existing residues in tanks or fuel systems.

All risk in the fuel transfers to the client immediately upon commencement of dispensing. From that point onward, the client assumes full responsibility for the fuel and any consequences arising from its use, storage, handling, or presence. This includes, without limitation, responsibility for fire, explosion, spillage, leaks, environmental damage, mechanical failure, engine damage, corrosion, contamination, loss of use, loss of income, personal injury, death, or property damage.

The client is solely responsible for ensuring that all vehicles, vessels, equipment, storage containers, tanks, and fuel systems are safe, compliant, compatible, and suitable to receive the fuel being delivered. The client warrants that all applicable laws, regulations, bylaws, and safety requirements are met at the delivery location, including but not limited to fire safety, hazardous substances regulations, and site access requirements. Skip The Pump Ltd may refuse delivery at its sole discretion if conditions are deemed unsafe or non-compliant, without liability.

Skip The Pump Ltd shall not be liable for any damage to vehicles, vessels, equipment, engines, fuel systems, seals, hoses, injectors, filters, tanks, or components, whether arising from fuel delivery, fuel quality, fuel incompatibility, overfilling, spillage, existing defects, or latent conditions. The client acknowledges that modern engines and equipment may be sensitive to fuel variables and that Skip The Pump Ltd has no responsibility for diagnosing or preventing such outcomes.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skip The Pump Ltd excludes all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss or damage of any kind. This includes, without limitation, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of data, loss of use, reputational loss, or economic loss, whether arising in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise.

The client agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless Skip The Pump Ltd, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, costs, fines, penalties, and expenses (including legal costs on a solicitor-client basis) arising out of or in connection with the delivery, transfer, possession, use, storage, or disposal of fuel, except to the extent that such liability cannot be lawfully excluded under New Zealand law.

Where the client is acquiring services as a consumer, the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 may apply. Where the client is acquiring services for business purposes, the client agrees that the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 does not apply. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions is intended to limit or exclude any rights or remedies that cannot be excluded under New Zealand law.

Payment is due immediately upon delivery unless otherwise agreed in writing. Failure to make payment may result in recovery action, suspension of services, and recovery of associated costs.

Skip The Pump Ltd may amend these Terms and Conditions at any time. The version in force at the time of order shall apply. If any provision of this agreement is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.

This agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand. The courts of New Zealand shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms and Conditions.

By accepting these Terms and Conditions, the client acknowledges that they have had the opportunity to seek independent legal advice and that they accept all risks associated with the delivery and use of fuel supplied by Skip The Pump Ltd to the fullest extent permitted by law.
