Terms of use

Last updated 30 October 2026. certify.nz ("we", "us") is operated by 0 Digital, a New Zealand business. By creating an account you agree to these terms.

1. The service

certify.nz is software that helps Independent Qualified Persons (IQPs), building owners and contractors record inspections of specified systems, manage defects and issue reports. We provide tools; we do not inspect buildings, certify compliance or give legal advice.

2. Your responsibilities

IQPs remain fully responsible for their inspections, the checklists they use, the findings they record and every report and certificate they issue, including Form 12A. Checklists marked "draft" must be reviewed by a registered IQP before use. You must keep your login details private and only add people to your account who are entitled to see its information.

3. Your data

You own the information you put into certify.nz. You give us permission to store, process and display it to provide the service. You can export or delete your data by contacting us. We keep issued reports so that their verify codes keep working, unless you ask us to remove them.

4. Verify codes

Anyone with a report's verify code can see that the report exists, who issued it, when, and whether the file has been altered. They cannot see the report's contents through the verify page.

5. Fees

Trials are free. Paid plans are billed monthly or yearly in advance in New Zealand dollars, including GST. Prices are shown on the pricing page. You can cancel at any time from Plan & billing; your plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for.

6. Availability

We aim for the service to be available at all times but do not guarantee it. Inspections recorded offline are kept on your device until they sync.

7. Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability is limited to the fees you paid in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986 where they apply and cannot be excluded.

8. Changes

We may update these terms and will tell account holders about material changes by email before they take effect.

9. Law

These terms are governed by New Zealand law.
