By visiting Southern Alps Manor and accessing its travel, resort and accommodation content, you agree to follow these Terms of Use. If you do not accept these conditions, you should stop using the website. Southern Alps Manor is an editorial information resource intended for readers in New Zealand and elsewhere who are researching destinations, hospitality experiences and resort stays.

2. Ownership of Editorial and Visual Material

Unless otherwise stated, the written content, original photography, editorial features, brand elements and page compositions published on Southern Alps Manor belong to Southern Alps Manor or are used with appropriate permission. These materials may not be copied, redistributed, republished or adapted for commercial use without prior written authorisation.

3. Acceptable Use of Southern Alps Manor

Southern Alps Manor is provided as an informational travel and resort resource. Visitors are expected to use the website lawfully and in a way that does not interfere with the experience of other users or the operation of the platform. When using the site, you agree not to:

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to restricted areas, systems or technical infrastructure.
• Use automated tools to collect, reproduce or extract substantial amounts of website content without permission.
• Violate the privacy, copyright or other legitimate rights of Southern Alps Manor, its contributors, featured properties or other third parties.

4. External Websites and Third-Party Services

Southern Alps Manor may include links to hotel websites, booking platforms, travel services or other external resources for reference and convenience. These third-party websites operate independently from Southern Alps Manor. We do not control their content, availability, policies, prices or services, and visitors should review the applicable terms and information directly with the external provider before relying on them.

5. Information Is Provided for General Reference

Southern Alps Manor aims to keep its editorial material useful and carefully presented, but website content is provided on an "as-is" basis. Resort facilities, rates, operating arrangements, seasonal conditions and other travel details can change over time. Readers should confirm important information directly with the relevant property or service provider before making travel decisions. Descriptions of accommodation and destination experiences are editorial in nature and may differ from an individual visitor’s experience.

6. Limits on Responsibility

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Southern Alps Manor and its editorial team are not responsible for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from the use of the website or reliance on its general travel content. This includes differences between information published on the site and the conditions, services or experiences ultimately provided by an external destination, accommodation provider or third-party service.

7. Updates to These Terms

We may revise these Terms of Use when the website, its editorial practices or its operating requirements change. The date shown at the top of this page will indicate when the current version was last updated. Continued use of Southern Alps Manor after an update means that the revised terms apply to future use of the site.

8. Applicable Legal Framework

These Terms of Use should be interpreted in accordance with the laws and legal requirements that apply to Southern Alps Manor and its operation. Nothing in these terms is intended to remove rights or protections that cannot legally be excluded. Where a dispute arises, the appropriate jurisdiction and forum will depend on the applicable legal circumstances.
