Terms and Conditions

Last updated: November 2026

These terms and conditions apply to your use of this website and the related member and club portals operated by the New Zealand Radio Car Association (“NZRCA”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By using the website, applying for a licence or entering an event, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Using this website

You agree to use the website lawfully and to:

• Provide information that is accurate, complete and up to date.
• Keep any login details secure and not share your account with others.
• Not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its data or other users' accounts.
• Not use the website to send spam, or to upload or transmit anything harmful, unlawful or offensive.

We may suspend or restrict access to the website, or to a particular account, if we believe these terms have been breached.

Licences and membership

• Licences are issued to individuals and are personal to the licence holder. They cannot be transferred or shared.
• You must hold a current licence, and where required a current club membership, to enter events that require them.
• Licence holders must comply with the NZRCA rules and any regulations that apply to the class or event they enter.
• Licences for junior drivers must be applied for in accordance with the requirements shown during registration.
• We may refuse, suspend or cancel a licence where information provided is inaccurate or these terms or the rules have been breached.

Event entries

Events listed on this website are organised and run by the affiliated club named on the event. NZRCA provides the entry system, but the club is responsible for the event itself.

• Email confirmation is required. After you submit an entry, we send an email to the address on your licence. Your entry is not complete, and will not appear in the entries list, until you click the confirmation button in that email.
• Entries must be made using the email address linked to your licence. You may only enter under your own name.
• The entry fee shown is calculated from the classes you select and whether junior or member pricing applies. The club may confirm the final amount where a class has no price set.
• Payment is made to the club using the payment instructions shown on the event page and in your confirmation email. Payment is not taken through this website for event entries.
• Submitting an entry does not guarantee a place. Clubs may decline or remove an entry, for example where fees are unpaid or an entry does not meet the event requirements.
• Refunds, withdrawals and transfers for event entries are at the discretion of the club running the event. Please contact the club directly.
• Events may be changed, postponed or cancelled by the club due to weather, track conditions or other circumstances.

Payments

Licence payments made through this website are processed by our third-party payment provider, Windcave. Your card details are entered directly with the provider and are not stored by NZRCA. Prices are in New Zealand dollars. Unless stated otherwise, licence fees are non-refundable once a licence has been issued.

Ballots and voting

Where a ballot is held, only eligible members may vote and each eligible member may vote once. Attempting to vote more than once or on behalf of another person is not permitted.

Motorsport risk

Radio control racing and related activities involve inherent risks, including risk of injury and damage to property. You take part at your own risk and are responsible for operating your equipment safely, following the instructions of event officials and complying with the rules and any venue requirements.

Content and intellectual property

The content on this website, including text, logos and design, belongs to NZRCA or its licensors and is protected by copyright. You may view and share links to pages for personal or club use, but you may not copy, republish or sell our content without our written permission. Photos and media remain the property of their owners.

Privacy

We collect and use your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Please read it to understand how your information is handled, including the entry lists and licence registers that are published on this website.

Third-party links and services

The website may link to websites run by clubs and other third parties, and relies on third-party services such as payment and email providers. We are not responsible for the content or availability of those sites and services.

Availability and accuracy

We aim to keep the website available and its information accurate, but we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error free. Event details, results and entry lists may change, and event information is supplied by clubs.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, NZRCA is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the website, or from your participation in an event, including indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any rights you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or other New Zealand law that cannot be excluded.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continuing to use the website after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and the New Zealand courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.
