Who these terms are with
These terms are an agreement between you and Nearby Arborist, and you accept them when you use the site or send the job form.
Who runs the site
Nearby Arborist runs this site and its tree job form.
It's a referral service that passes tree jobs from anywhere in New Zealand to local arborists. It doesn't do tree work, quote it or employ arborists.
Your contact details
When an arborist takes your job, we sell your contact details for that job to that arborist, so they can get in touch and quote.
The arborist's part
The arborist who takes your job runs their own business and agrees the price and the work with you directly. Any agreement for the work is between you and them.
Information on this site
Guides and rule pages are general information drawn from the sources listed on each page. They're not legal advice, and they can't assess your particular tree.
Before a tree is removed or heavily pruned, check with your council, and have an arborist look at the tree itself. Rules change, so the council's current version wins over ours.
Using the form
Please send real jobs only, with your own details or details you have permission to give. Ticking the consent box means you agree to Nearby Arborist sharing your details with a local arborist so they can contact you about the job. The privacy policy covers the rest.
Safety
No page on this site tells you to fell, climb or cut down a tree, and none should be read that way. If a tree is touching a street power line, call your lines company, and call 111 if anyone is in danger.
What nobody can promise
We can't promise when, or whether, an arborist will contact you, that a council will grant consent, or that an insurer will pay. And there are no prices for tree work on the site.
Responsibility and liability
To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for any arborist's quote, advice or workmanship, because those sit between you and the arborist. Your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act still apply, whatever these terms say.
New Zealand law governs these terms, and any dispute about them is for the New Zealand courts.
Changes to these terms
If these terms are updated, the date on this page changes with them.
