Disclaimer

Last updated: April 2025

⚠ Verihome NZ reports are AI-generated analytical tools — not legal advice. Always consult a qualified NZ property lawyer or conveyancer before signing any property agreement.

1. Not Legal Advice

Verihome NZ is an AI-assisted property document analysis service. The reports we produce are informational and educational in nature. Nothing in any report, on this website, or in any communication from Verihome NZ constitutes legal advice, and no lawyer-client or solicitor-client relationship is formed by your use of this service.

If you require legal advice, you must consult a qualified New Zealand lawyer or licensed conveyancer who is registered under the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006.

2. Limitations of AI Analysis

Our service uses artificial intelligence to identify potential risk factors and flag areas of concern in property documents. You should be aware that AI analysis has inherent limitations:

AI may miss issues that a human expert would identify — especially novel, contextual, or highly nuanced clauses.
AI may flag false positives — issues that appear concerning in isolation but are standard or acceptable in context.
AI analysis is based on pattern recognition and general knowledge, not on current case law or your specific personal circumstances.
The analysis does not account for verbal representations, off-document negotiations, or information not present in the uploaded document.
Document quality affects accuracy — poorly scanned, hand-annotated, or partially visible documents may produce incomplete analysis.

3. NZ Property Context

Our analysis references common NZ property law frameworks including the Resource Management Act 1991, Unit Titles Act 2010, Building Act 2004, and standard ADLS/REINZ contract forms. However, property law is complex and changes over time. Our service does not replace professional review of:

Title searches and encumbrances (you should obtain an official title search from LINZ)
Council records and planning overlays
EQC and insurance history
Body corporate records (for unit title properties)
Any conditions or warranties your lawyer negotiates on your behalf

4. No Guarantee of Completeness

We do not warrant that our reports are complete, error-free, or suitable for your specific transaction. Property purchases involve significant financial risk. You should treat our reports as one input among several — not as a substitute for professional due diligence.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Protocol Zero Limited and its officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any loss or damage — including financial loss from a property transaction — arising from your reliance on any report or analysis produced by this service.

Our maximum liability to you in respect of any report shall not exceed the amount you paid for that specific report.

6. Governing Law

This disclaimer and any disputes relating to our service are governed by the laws of Hong Kong SAR. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes rights you may have under New Zealand consumer protection legislation that cannot be excluded by contract.
