Stuff Print Subscriptions

These are the terms and conditions that apply to your print subscription to a newspaper or magazine published by Stuff (“Stuff Publication”). In these terms and conditions the subscriber is referred to as "you", and Stuff Limited is referred to as "Stuff", "we" or "us". We reserve the right to change these terms and conditions at any time. By subscribing to a Stuff Publication, you agree to the following terms and conditions.

1. Payment

All subscription prices are in New Zealand dollars and include GST where applicable and are non-refundable for the subscription period. You are responsible for nominating your subscription period. You can pay for your subscription by internet banking, credit card (one off transaction fees may apply), direct debit, or via NZ Post ($1.50 counter charge will apply). All prices are inclusive of delivery costs unless otherwise stated (deliveries to rural or international addresses will incur additional charges that will be notified to you at the commencement and renewal of your subscription, selected magazine titles may incur postage charges at checkout).

One-off payments using any Visa, MasterCard or American Express card may be charged an additional fee of 2% (including GST). This fee does not apply to direct debit customers.

If you choose to receive your printed invoice/statement by post you will incur an additional $3.50 charge on your invoice per statement.

Where you receive an invoice/statement for your subscription you agree to pay your account by the due date shown. If you dispute any details on your invoice/statement you will need to inform us within 21 days of the date of the invoice/statement.

The undisputed part of the account is still payable by the due date. If you do not pay your account by the due date you may be liable for all costs of recovery and collection fees and we may refer your account to a third party for debt collection. where you will be liable for their costs. At this stage your default details may also be shared with a credit bureau under the Privacy Act 2020. We may also suspend your subscription.

We will endeavour to send you notification of any price changes which may affect you. For paid in advance customers, price changes will take effect on renewal or on your next subscription period.

2. Customer details

Any errors made in providing details to Stuff are your responsibility. Stuff will not be liable for consequences that relate to any errors including but not limited to failure to deliver your subscription to the correct address.  If you change your address or contact details, you need to advise Stuff as soon as possible to ensure the continuous delivery of your subscription. 

3. Recurring payment Direct Debit/Credit Card

Recurring payment by direct debit or continuous credit card authority is the easiest way to pay your subscription invoice, with the amount due debited automatically from your bank account or credit card on the 20th day of each month. The amount debited each month will only change when you suspend your home delivery while on holiday or we credit you for a missed delivery. Please note, as this is a "recurring" payment method, no surcharge will apply when using your credit or debit card.

By signing up to a recurring payment method, you grant Stuff a direct debit or continuous credit card authority for any Stuff products you subscribe to on your customer account, including newspapers and magazines.

We reserve the right to suppress all invoices where payment is made by direct debit or continuous credit card unless notified otherwise. If you provide your email address we may send all communications including billing to this email address.

For more information, see the frequently asked questions below.

4. Renewing your subscription

Your subscription will not expire and will renew automatically into the next subscription period. This means we will continue to deliver and charge you for such deliveries until you have notified us to stop delivery and your current subscription period has expired.

Magazine pre-paid subscriptions purchased via the Mag4Gifts website will not automatically renew at the end of your subscription period.  Before the end of your subscription period you will receive a renewal letter asking whether you wish to re-subscribe and providing instructions on how to do so.

5. Cancellation

You have the right to cancel your subscription at any time. You acknowledge and agree that any cancellation will only take effect on the last day of your subscription period.

8. Inserts

The number of gifts available is limited and once exhausted, the offer will end. If the gift/prize is unavailable, Stuff, at its discretion, reserves the right to substitute the gift/s to the equal value and/or specification. Stuff is neither responsible nor liable for any damage to the gift/prize whilst in transit.

Prizes cannot be redeemed for cash, exchanged or transferred.

Gift vouchers are valid for 24 months from the date of purchase. They can be redeemed on any item for sale on www.mags4gifts.co.nz. (Please note: vouchers are currently not able to be redeemed on digital editions.)

Spending over the value of the gift voucher will mean that the balance needs to be paid for by credit card.

Spending under the value of the gift voucher means that the customer will have the balance credited to their Mags4Gifts account to be used at a later date, but within 24 months of the initial date of purchase.
