🇳🇿 Calling Kiwi Business Owners! 🇳🇿 Please Share!!   We're gathering feedback on .co.nz websites and want to know—does it matter to you if they’re Kiwi-owned? It will take just 60 seconds of your time to help provide valuable feedback that could shape positive change for New Zealand.   Click here to take the survey: https://lnkd.in/gbxQeYvi   No personal information is required or disclosed - all individual surveys are confidential and anonymous. Your feedback will be presented to the Government to review the rules around .co.nz websites.   Currently, anyone in the world can register for a .co.nz website as long as they have a credit card and email address. It is our view this creates three issues:   1/ It devalues the strategic asset that the .co.nz domain names could be. 2/ It allows scammers to easily appear legitimate, reducing trust in the .co.nz domain name and financial loss for Kiwis. 3/ It allows foreign-owned/ based businesses to create the false perception that they are a New Zealand business & deceptively take revenue from legitimate New Zealand-owned businesses.   Let’s work together to ensure our economy thrives and that Kiwi businesses are protected.   Thank you for your ongoing support and for being a valuable member of the Buy Kiwi community.   - The Buy Kiwi Team

We totally understand that it's tough for small Kiwi businesses right now and it can be tempting to take the 'free' option of copying another business' T&Cs. But if your T&Cs (eg, website terms of use, privacy policy, sales terms with customers) aren't specific to your business, they could do more harm than good (think false claims about how you treat personal information, incorrect IP ownership clauses). Come and see our customised terms for your business that still fit in the (tight) budget. #getitright #affordablelegals #nzbusiness
