1.3 Headings
 Headings contained in these Conditions are for reference purposes only.  They are not incorporated into these Conditions and do not give any indication of the meaning of the clauses and subclauses to which they relate.

1.4 Singular and plural
 In these Conditions any word in the singular includes the plural and vice versa.

1.5 New Zealand law
 (a) These Conditions are governed by New Zealand law in every particular including formation and interpretation; and
 (b) every contract incorporating these Conditions is deemed to be made in New Zealand; and
 (c) any proceedings relating in any way to these Conditions or to any Carrier Service must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in New Zealand; but

 All Tickets are issued and all Carrier Services are provided, subject to:
 (a) to the extent applicable in each case, the Carriage of Goods Act 1979, the New Zealand Railways Corporation Act 1981, the New Zealand Railways Corporation Restructuring Act 1990, the Railway Safety and Corridor Management Act 1992, the Maritime Transport Act 1994 and the Land Transport Act 1998; and
 (b) all Other Law, conditions and any licence applicable to carriage under a Ticket; and
 (c) these Conditions; and
 (d) all other information appearing on a Ticket.

2.3 Overriding law
 If any provision contained or referred to in these Conditions is in conflict with any Other Law and that Other Law cannot be waived or avoided by these Conditions, then that provision only remains applicable and part of these Conditions to the extent that that provision is not in conflict with the Other Law.  The invalidity of any provision does not have the effect of invalidating any other provision of these Conditions.  The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 prevails over these Conditions where the Passenger is not subject to 2.9.

2.4 Conflict with Ticket conditions
 If there is any conflict between these Conditions and the information appearing on a Ticket, these Conditions prevail.

2.5 No waiver
 Nothing in these Conditions represents a waiver or surrender by the Carrier of any statutory or other legal right, immunity, exception, limitation, protection, privilege or defence.

2.7 Gratuitous Carriage
 These Conditions also apply to Gratuitous Carriage.

2.8 Charter agreements
 Carriage performed pursuant to a charter agreement with the Carrier is subject to the applicable charter regulations (if any) of the Carrier and these Conditions do not apply except as provided in the charter regulations.  Where the Carrier has no charter regulations applicable to that carriage, these Conditions apply to that carriage except as far as the charter agreement, or Tickets issued in connection with it, exclude the application of all or any part of them.  If there is any conflict between these Conditions and the provisions contained or referred to in the charter agreement, the latter prevails.  A Passenger, by accepting the carriage pursuant to the charter agreement, whether or not concluded with the Passenger, agrees to be bound by the applicable provisions of that agreement.

2.9 Business customers
 Where a Person is using a Carrier Service for business purposes, none of the rights or remedies provided under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 apply.
 

3.2 Reservations
 Reservations for Long Distance Carrier Services may usually, but not necessarily, be made up to six calendar months prior to the scheduled date of departure of a Carrier Service.  Applications for reservations for Carrier Services may be made at a Carrier Booking Office or authorised agency. 

3.3 Purchase of Tickets
 A Passenger Ticket may be purchased from any Carrier Booking Office, or any authorised agency, which sells Passenger Tickets for the relevant Carrier Service.  In addition:
 (a) A Ticket must be uplifted with payment in full by the Ticket uplift date. The Carrier is not liable for any loss incurred by a Passenger who fails to collect a Ticket either knowingly or unknowingly by the Ticket uplift date;
 (b) A Ticket for a Suburban Carrier Service may be purchased from a Train Manager on that Suburban Carrier Service;
(c) Except on any Carrier Service designated by the Carrier, a Passenger travelling on a Long Distance Carrier Service from a Station where there is no Carrier Booking Office, or where that office is closed, may purchase a Ticket from the Train Manager.

3.4 Information
 The Carrier will be entitled to use information obtained in relation to a Passenger's or Sender's use of any Carrier Service, whether collected directly by the Carrier from the Person concerned or not, for any purpose associated with the operation or marketing of the Carrier and its business and to disclose any such information to any of its subsidiaries, associated companies or any other Person engaged in business with the Carrier from time to time.

 (c) A Passenger aged between 2 and 14 years inclusive is classified by the Carrier as a child, and cannot travel unaccompanied. Children travelling to and from boarding school are an exception to the unaccompanied child rule, and must complete a ‘Boarding School' form.

3.6 No particular seat or space guaranteed
 The Carrier does not undertake to provide any particular seat or space on a Carrier Service.  The Passenger or Sender agrees to accept any seat or space that the Carrier may allot.

Section 4
Fares, rates and charges

4.4 Quotations
 The Carrier is not bound by quotations or estimates of Carrier Rates or conditions of contract or carriage given verbally unless they are confirmed by the Carrier in writing in accordance with these Conditions.

4.5 GST and other Government taxes and charges
 Any tax (including GST) or charge, which is not provided for or stated in a Carrier Rate, and which is imposed by a Government or by any regional or other authority, in respect of or incidental to carriage of a Passenger or Property or the provision of any Carrier Service, is payable in addition to the Carrier Rate by the Passenger or Sender, as the case may be.

4.6 Payment
 The Carrier Rate and any additional tax or charge payable by the Passenger or Sender for a Carrier Service must be paid at the time the Ticket is issued unless the Passenger or Sender (or other Person liable for payment of the Ticket) has a current written credit arrangement with the Carrier for payment, in which case payment is due in accordance with the terms of that credit arrangement.  If there is no credit arrangement and payment is not made on issue of the Ticket, or if the amount collected by the Carrier or its agent is not the applicable Carrier Rate plus any additional tax or charge, the difference must be paid by the Passenger or Sender before commencement of the Carrier Service.

4.7 Credit arrangements - authorisation to collect information
 In any situation where the Carrier has a credit arrangement with a Person in relation to the provision of Carrier Services, or a Person requests that a credit arrangement be entered into with the Carrier, the Carrier will be entitled to collect from sources other than that Person any information the Carrier considers relevant to assessing the creditworthiness or financial position of that Person.  The Carrier will be entitled to disclose any such information to any of its subsidiaries, associated companies or any other Person engaged in business with the Carrier from time to time.

4.8 Interest charge
 The Carrier may, without prejudice to its other rights and remedies, charge interest on a daily basis at a rate 6% above the Bank of New Zealand Limited Prime Corporate overdraft rate applicable at the time for payment to the Carrier from the day that an amount becomes overdue until the day on which that amount, including interest charged on it under this clause, is paid in full.

4.9 Calculation of charges
 (a) In computing charges at tonne rates, weights of less than ten kilograms are taken as ten kilograms.
 (b) In computing distance related charges, fractions of a kilometre of 100 metres and over are taken as an additional kilometre and fractions of less than 100 metres are omitted.
 (c) Cubic measurement is calculated in cubic metres and rounded up to two decimal places.
 
4.10 Reserved for future use.

4.11 Recalculation of Carrier Rates
 If a Passenger or Sender misrepresents the quantity, weight, measurement, nature or value of any Property to be carried, then the Carrier may charge the appropriate Carrier Rate for that Property.

 (c) Except in the case of a lost Ticket, a refund or reissue is only made on production to the Carrier of the Ticket for which a refund or reissue is sought.
 (d) If the Carrier, in good faith, makes a refund or reissue in relation to a Ticket to any Person who holds himself or herself out as being entitled under this Section, the Carrier is discharged from any further liability in relation to the Ticket to refund or reissue to any other Person.

5.5 Refund entitlement
 A Passenger or Sender who presents a Ticket for refund or reissue will only be entitled to a refund or reissue on the terms applicable to the Carrier Service to which the Ticket relates as set out in the Schedule to these Conditions.

5.6 No refund for seasonal change
 If the Carrier changes the scheduled time of departure of a Carrier Service for any reason, and the change results in that Carrier Service taking place in a different season from that for which the Ticket was issued, there is no entitlement to a refund of any part of the applicable Carrier Rate originally charged.

5.7 Seasonal or concession Tickets - Passenger Carrier Services
 (a) The Carrier may from time to time issue seasonal or concession Tickets for Passenger Rail Carrier Services on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit.  Special terms and conditions, in addition to these Conditions, may apply to the issue of and carriage under those Tickets.  If there is any conflict between those special terms and conditions and these Conditions, the special terms and conditions prevail.

 (c) The Carrier may at its sole discretion determine whether a passenger is eligible for a seasonal or concession Ticket and may determine which seasonal or concession Ticket or special terms and conditions apply in any given circumstance.

5.8 Loss of Passenger travel Ticket
 (a) If a Person loses a Ticket, or any Ticket is altered other than by the Carrier or its authorised agent, no refund or reissue will be made except in the absolute discretion of the Carrier.
 (b) No refund or reissue will be made in respect of the loss of a Ticket unless the loss is reported, prior to departure of the Carrier Service to which the Ticket relates, to a Carrier Booking Office or, if the Carrier Booking Office is closed, to

6.2 Limitation of liability
 Subject to 2.3, the Carrier's liability is further limited, or excluded, in terms of sections 12(5) and 14 of the Carriage of Goods Act 1979, where a Passenger or Sender with or without the knowledge of the Carrier:
 (a) fails to do all things that a prudent owner of Property would do to that Property to eliminate the risk of loss of, or damage to, or theft of, that Property; or

6.3 Exclusion of indirect and consequential loss
 Subject to 2.3, the Carrier is not liable for any form of indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of or in respect of any Carrier Service.  Any liability of the kinds specified in subsections 15(2)(b) and (c) of the Carriage of Goods Act 1979 is expressly excluded whether in respect of the carriage of a Passenger, Property or otherwise.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Carrier is not liable for indirect or consequential loss or damage arising from:
 (a) delay in delivery of any Passenger or Property for any reason; or
 (b) damage to Property from leakage, explosion, stains, soot, or the effects of climate or the elements; or
 (c) damage to Property of any Passenger or Sender where such damage arises out of the actions, or omissions, of any other Passenger or Sender.

6.4 Contributory negligence
 If there is contributory negligence on the part of a Passenger or Sender, the Carrier's liability is subject to the law relating to contributory negligence.

6.5 No liability for personal injury or loss
 All Persons use Carrier Services entirely at their own risk.  The Carrier is not liable in relation to the use or provision of a Carrier Service:
 (a) for the death of any Person, or for any injury, harm, disease, or damage to health, whether physical, mental or otherwise (including mental or nervous shock or distress), suffered by any Person; or
 (b) for any direct or indirect damage, cost, expense or consequential loss suffered by any Person;
 arising as a direct or indirect result of any act or omission of the Carrier, or any of the Carrier’s agents, employees, representatives, or contractors, or any other Person, or any Passenger or other user of Carrier Services.

6.6 Actual Carriers
 Where the Carrier uses an Actual Carrier, a Passenger and Property are carried subject to the Actual Carrier's conditions of contract and carriage, except that if there is any conflict between the Actual Carrier's conditions of contract or carriage and these Conditions, these Conditions prevail.

6.7 Delays, deviations and changes to Carrier Services
 All timetables, schedules or other representations regarding the timing for the departure or arrival of any Carrier Service are merely an indication of the same and do not bind the Carrier.  All timetables and schedules are subject to change without notice.  The Carrier:
 (a) will use all reasonable efforts to carry a Passenger and Property in accordance with a Ticket and on time, but the time of departure or arrival of any service is at the absolute discretion of the Carrier.
  The Carrier does not assume responsibility for a Passenger and/or Property making connections for other travel arrangements, or for meeting any appointment or deadline, or for arriving in time for any function, engagement, ceremony, or any other obligation, and is not liable for any such matter.
 (b)   is not liable for any loss or damage caused by failure or delay to take aboard or land a Passenger or Property as a result of bad weather, civil commotion, disturbance or emergency, industrial disruption, mechanical failure, any action taken with the intention of preserving the safety of any Passenger or Property, any circumstances not reasonably foreseeable by, or beyond the control of, the Carrier, or any other cause.  Any decision to take aboard or land a Passenger or Property is at the absolute discretion of the Carrier.  The Carrier may overcarry any Property not landed and land it at its intended destination at the first available opportunity.  The Carrier may charge for any such overcarriage, if reasonable in the circumstances;
 (c)   may at any time without notice, abandon, cancel or alter any Carrier Service, substitute a carrier or mode of transport, commence a Carrier Service before or after the scheduled date or time of departure, deviate from a route for any purpose and subject to 2.3, and except as otherwise provided in these Conditions, the Carrier is not  liable to the Passenger or Sender for any direct or indirect damage, cost, expense or consequential loss suffered as a direct or indirect result of any of the foregoing.

6.8 Securing devices
 For the purpose of reducing the likelihood of loss or damage during carriage the Carrier may use securing devices to stabilise or secure any Property.  The Carrier is not liable for any loss or damage to any Property, if that loss or damage is caused by the chafing or moving of securing devices which have been attached by the Carrier to prevent loss or damage resulting from carriage.  In attaching or fitting securing devices, the Carrier is not required to take into account the special requirements of any Property.  Any special requirements will only be catered for at the absolute discretion of the Carrier and by prior arrangement.

6.9 Reserved for future use
 
6.10 Restrictions or reservations
 Subject to 2.3, if the Carrier accepts for carriage any Property in respect of which there is some restriction or reservation under these Conditions, the carriage of that Property is nevertheless subject to the Carrier Rates, exclusions and limitations of liability and other provisions of these Conditions applicable to the carriage of that Property.

6.11 Compliance with Other Law
 The Passenger, Sender or Receiver must comply with all Other Law applicable to any Carrier Service.  Subject to 2.3, the Carrier is not liable for any loss or damage arising from the failure of any Passenger, Sender or Receiver to comply with the same or from what the Carrier believes to be its compliance with any Other Law.

6.12 Errors, omissions and representations
 Subject to 2.3, the Carrier is not liable for errors or omissions in publications of schedules or in statements, or representations made by any of its employees, agents or representatives in respect of any Carrier Service.  No agent, employee or representative of the Carrier has authority to give undertakings or make representations in relation to the provision or timing of any Carrier Service that are inconsistent with these Conditions.  Any such undertakings or representations will not bind the Carrier except where the Carrier's prior confirmation in writing is obtained.

6.13 Extension of exclusion or limitation to agents, etc
 Any exclusion or limitation of the liability of the Carrier applies to and for the benefit of the Carrier's agents, employees, representatives and contractors and to any Actual Carrier and to the Actual Carrier's employees, agents, representatives and contractors.  The aggregate amount recoverable from the Carrier, the Actual Carrier and their respective agents, employees, representatives and contractors shall not exceed the maximum amount of the Carrier's liability.

6.14 Notice of claim
 Notice of any claim against the Carrier in respect of the loss of or damage to Property carried on a Carrier Service, must be given in writing within 30 days after the date on which the Carrier's responsibility for that Property has ceased and in accordance with Section 18 of the Carriage of Goods Act 1979.

Section 7
Reporting
7.1 Reporting to departure Station
 The Passenger must arrive at the Carrier's check-in location at the departure Station or other point of departure at the reporting time fixed by the Carrier, or, if no time is fixed, sufficiently in advance of departure to permit completion of formalities and departure procedures including the checking-in of Baggage.  Departure of a Carrier Service will not be delayed because of the late arrival of a Passenger.  If the Passenger fails to arrive by the reporting time specified at the Carrier's check-in location, or appears to the Carrier to be improperly documented and not ready for carriage, the Carrier may cancel:
 (a) any seat or space reserved for that Passenger; or
 (b) any space reserved for any Property intended by that Passenger to be carried by the Carrier;
 and the Carrier may reallocate any such reservation or space to another Person or to any other Property as the case may be.  The Carrier is not liable to any Passenger in respect of any such cancellation or reallocation.

8.7 Unclaimed Property
 If, for any reason, Property is not removed from the Train or collected from the destination Station as soon as possible after delivery by the Carrier:
 (a) the Carrier is deemed to be the agent of the Passenger (and/or of the owner of the Property where relevant) and may store that Property at the sole risk and expense of the Sender or Passenger (and/or the owner of the Property where relevant); and
 (b) the Carrier may declare the Property to be unclaimed and may sell that Property and apply the proceeds of sale in payment of:
