Shipping APIs Terms & Conditions

General terms - NZ Post APIs

We want to make it as easy as possible for you to do business with us, so we want to tell you about the General Terms that will apply. Please read them carefully, because the current version of these General Terms applies whenever you use our APIs. In these General Terms, "we" means NZ Post Limited, Express Couriers Limited and their successors and assigns. "Our" and "us" have a corresponding meaning.

Other terms (Specific Terms) apply for particular APIs, and we'll provide you with the Specific Terms for the API you've asked us to provide – the Specific Terms apply to those services only, and may vary these General Terms as they apply to that particular API.

Information we collect from you

Information we have collected (and will collect while providing services to you) will be held and used to provide the services you've asked for from us, and for credit management and control purposes. We may also collect information from, and disclose information to, other people for these purposes.

We may also use the information collected to send you information about our business or services or those offered by other people which we think might be of interest to you, and may provide your information to other people for their marketing purposes, if you have consented to that use in each case.

Introduction

1. Thank you for your interest in our NZ Post API ("API"). We want you to use our API to enhance the products and services you can offer your customers. However, there are some terms of use that you need to comply with when using our API.

Applicability of these terms

2. These Terms apply to your access to and use of our API. These Terms are made up of our General Terms (which are consistent across all our APIs) and Specific Terms (which apply only to the API).

3. By using or applying to use our API, you agree to be bound by these Terms, and to use the API solely in accordance with these Terms. If you do not accept our Terms then you must not access or use our API.

4. The agreement between you and us governed by these Terms will commence on the date upon which you agree to these Terms and will continue until you stop using our API or we terminate your access to the API, or terminate the agreement, or both.

Application to access our API

5. Access to our APIs is through the Developer Portals and is subject to you having a valid NZ Post account. To access the Developer Portals you must sign up as a user on our website nzpost.co.nz. You must perform user acceptance testing of the API against any acceptance criteria notified to you (as applicable). You are deemed to have accepted the API upon going into a production environment.

6. To access and use our API for an Application you to need to apply for a Key through the Developer Portals.

7. All information in your application must be accurate, up-to-date, true and not misleading in any way and we may immediately terminate your access to our API, and any other APIs if you breach this clause.

8. We may request more information from you in relation to an application for a Key to allow us to consider your application and make a decision. We may accept or decline your application to use the API in our sole discretion, including for any reasons set out in the Specific Terms. If we issue a Key to you, you must:

  1. keep that Key secure;
  2. authorise and secure user access to and use of the API, and manage those users, including each individual's login and password detail; and
  3. only use the Key for the Application for which the Key has been issued.

9. A Key can be used by an Application to consume multiple APIs. You must not use a Key for more than one Application, and you must apply for a different Key for each different Application that you want to consume the API.

15. You may discontinue use of our API following a Modification. Your continued use of the API following a Modification will be deemed to be your acceptance of that Modification.
