This policy sets out the expectations, rights, and responsibilities for both customers and staff of WCTNZ® when engaging in sales, support, service, and product-related interactions.
It is intended to ensure a professional, safe, and respectful environment for everyone involved, particularly when dealing with building materials, sanitary systems, and specialist wastewater products sold under the WCTNZ® brand.
WCTNZ® expects all sales and support interactions to be conducted respectfully, professionally, and honestly. Customers have the right to fair and accurate information, and WCTNZ® staff have the right to a safe working environment free from abuse, harassment, threats, or discrimination.
Customers are entitled to respectful communication, professional service, honest information, and product guidance that complies with applicable law.
Customers are expected to behave courteously, provide accurate information, and follow reasonable support and service instructions.
WCTNZ® staff have the right to a safe and respectful work environment and may terminate abusive or inappropriate interactions.
Where possible, disputes will be addressed through negotiation, mediation, and appropriate escalation in accordance with New Zealand law.
This policy applies to all customers and staff during any sales, support, or service interactions, whether in person, online, or via other communication channels. This includes sales of our building materials, sanitary systems, and any other products or services provided by our company.
Our products are designed for specific building applications. Customers must ensure that the intended use is compliant with local building codes and regulations. Staff will provide support to identify suitable options, but the final responsibility for product suitability rests with the customer.
As building products may be used in structural and sanitary installations, warranties are provided in line with Building Act 2004 implied warranties and the Fair Trading Act 1986 where applicable. Faulty or defective products will be handled in accordance with Composting Systems Warranties and our Shipping & Returns T&Cs.

If a staff member fails to uphold their obligations or engages in unprofessional conduct, customers are encouraged to report the incident to management@wctnz.co.nz. All complaints will be reviewed, and appropriate action will be taken.
All disputes will be addressed through mediation and negotiation where possible. If no resolution can be achieved, the matter may be referred to the relevant authority, such as the Disputes Tribunal or District Court, in accordance with New Zealand law.
Our company will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss resulting from the misuse or improper installation of our building materials or systems.
For sanitary systems and other building products that form part of a larger structure, we recommend that installation be performed by a certified professional. If a product defect is discovered, please notify us immediately, and we will work to resolve the issue in line with our legal obligations.
Support services may be terminated for any customer found to be engaging in repeated misconduct or who fails to comply with these terms.
We reserve the right to refuse service, subject to compliance with the Human Rights Act 1993 and other applicable legislation.
This Sales and Support Conduct Policy is governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any disputes arising in relation to these terms will be handled in accordance with New Zealand law.
