Last Updated: April 2026

IMPORTANT: By placing an order with RestWell NZ Limited ("RestWell", "we", "us", "our"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Shipping & Returns Policy. This policy forms part of our Terms of Service.

1. Shipping Overview & Important Disclaimers

1.1 Delivery Timeframe Estimates

All delivery timeframes are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Actual delivery times may vary significantly based on:

  • Destination address location and accessibility
  • Carrier capacity constraints and operational delays
  • Customs and border processing times for international shipments
  • Peak demand periods including holiday seasons, promotional events, and public health emergencies
  • Weather conditions and natural events
  • Verification requirements for high-value orders

RestWell expressly disclaims any liability for delays beyond estimated timeframes. Estimated delivery dates do not constitute a binding commitment. No compensation shall be provided for delayed deliveries. Delivery delays do not constitute grounds for order cancellation or refund.

1.2 International Supply Chain & Third-Party Fulfilment

RestWell devices contain precision electronic components sourced from international suppliers, and fulfilment is managed through third-party logistics providers. Customers acknowledge and accept that:

  • Fulfilment may be handled by third-party logistics partners
  • Products may ship from locations outside New Zealand
  • Component sourcing delays may occur without prior notice
  • Products may be temporarily unavailable pending receipt of materials or completion of quality assurance
  • Pre-orders and backorders may experience extended fulfilment periods of up to 30 business days or longer
  • Minor cosmetic variations between production batches may occur and do not affect device performance or warranty

1.3 Force Majeure & Circumstances Beyond Our Control

RestWell shall not be liable for any delay, failure, or inability to perform any obligation resulting from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to:

  • Acts of God including earthquakes, floods, fires, storms, volcanic eruptions, and other natural disasters
  • Pandemics, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, and public health emergencies
  • War, terrorism, civil unrest, riots, strikes, and industrial action
  • Government actions, embargoes, sanctions, and regulatory changes
  • Transportation disruptions including carrier insolvency, port closures, and infrastructure failures
  • Cyber attacks, system failures, and technological disruptions
  • Shortage of materials, labour, or manufacturing capacity
  • Any other event reasonably beyond our control

In the event of force majeure, estimated delivery dates shall be automatically extended by the duration of such event plus a reasonable recovery period, without liability to RestWell.
