Terms of Use
Who these terms are with
These terms of use are an agreement between you (the visitor) and Taylor Media Limited, 160 Ponsonby Road, Christchurch 8011, New Zealand — the operator of FiordExplore (fiordexplore.com). Where these terms say "we", "us" or "our", we mean Taylor Media Limited.
FiordExplore's terms of use apply to all visitors. We urge you to review them with care. If you cannot accept these terms, please do not use this site.
1. Purpose of the site
FiordExplore's complimentary social casino simulator offers four browser-based games with virtual chips for entertainment alone. No real money is involved on this platform. You cannot win or lose actual funds here. The service exists entirely for casual enjoyment, not gambling.
2. Age requirement
Access to FiordExplore is limited to those aged 18 and over. By continuing, you confirm you meet this age requirement. If a parent or guardian discovers a minor using the site, we ask you to contact us directly.
3. Virtual chips
I'm ready to rewrite, but I notice the paragraph text after "ORIGINAL:" is missing from your message. Please paste the full paragraph you'd like me to rewrite for FiordExplore, and I'll deliver it in neutral en-NZ editorial English within your specified word count (61–82 words), preserving all facts and proper nouns.
- exchange chips for money, gift cards, goods or services;
- transfer chips to another person;
- make a claim based on chips or virtual wins.
Chips replenish to one thousand automatically when depleted; however, balances don't carry over between sessions.
4. Intellectual property
FiordExplore and its licensors retain full ownership of all website content, including text, images, code, game simulators and associated materials. Copyright and intellectual property law protect this content. Unauthorised copying, alteration, commercial use or distribution is prohibited.

We maintain site availability around the clock, though temporary disruptions may occur due to maintenance, technical issues or unforeseen circumstances. FiordExplore accepts no liability for losses from downtime.
8. Limitation of liability

12. Governing law and disputes
New Zealand law governs these terms and your site usage. Good-faith negotiation will first resolve disputes. If agreement cannot be reached, matters proceed to New Zealand's District Court.
Consumers may bring disputes before the Disputes Tribunal (disputestribunal.govt.nz). For consumer advice, contact Consumer Protection at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (consumerprotection.govt.nz).
