Unless otherwise noted, the content on this site—including, but not limited to, all text, images, and layout—is the property of Pattern. All trademarks featured on this site are the property of their respective owners.

Nothing on this site should be interpreted as granting, by implication or otherwise, any license or right to use any copyright, patent, trademark, or other proprietary material belonging to Pattern or any third party. This site and the materials it contains—such as images, audio, video, HTML code, buttons, and written content—may not be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, or distributed in any form without prior written permission from Pattern. However, you may download and print a single copy for personal, non-commercial use, provided the material remains unaltered and retains all copyright, trademark, and proprietary notices.

The content on this website is provided free of charge for general information only and does not constitute a business or professional relationship with Pattern. This site may include links to third-party websites or services not operated by Pattern. We make no representations or warranties regarding these external sites and accept no responsibility for their content or use.

This site and its content are provided “as is.” Pattern makes no guarantees or warranties of any kind—express or implied—regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fitness of the information available here or on linked sites. We expressly disclaim all implied warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

This website is operated from Auckland, New Zealand, and you agree that these terms and any legal proceedings related to the use of this site will be governed by the laws of New Zealand. Should any legal action arise, Pattern reserves the right to select the jurisdiction in which it will defend such proceedings, regardless of your location or where the site was accessed.

You are responsible for ensuring your use of this site complies with the laws of the location from which you are accessing it. Unless otherwise stated, any information submitted via this website will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. You confirm that you have the legal right to submit such information and agree not to provide content that you are not authorised to share. As the internet is inherently open, we advise against submitting information you consider sensitive or confidential.

We collect, use, disclose, and store personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 (formerly the Privacy Act 1993). If you contact us—such as by submitting an enquiry through the contact form on our website—we may collect your name, email address, the content of your message, and any other personal information you choose to provide. This information is collected for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and for other lawful purposes related to our business. Providing this information is optional, but if you choose not to supply the details requested, we may be unable to respond to your message or provide further assistance. 

We may share your personal information with trusted third-party service providers who help us deliver our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any third parties we engage comply with relevant privacy obligations. You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, and to request corrections if you believe any of it is inaccurate. To do so, please contact us directly.

Pattern does not accept unsolicited ideas or proposals submitted outside of established business relationships. To safeguard our existing partnerships and intellectual property, we cannot treat unsolicited submissions as confidential. Please refrain from submitting any such materials. Any ideas sent to Pattern outside a formal agreement may be used, disclosed, or developed by Pattern without any obligation to you. If, in our sole discretion, a review of such a submission is conducted, it will be with the understanding that no confidentiality or compensation is owed. By submitting content via this site, you agree to be bound by these conditions.
