Terms and Conditions for Defence Industry Portal Use

Please read this section carefully as it contains the legal terms and conditions that apply to the use of this portal as well as wider use of the Ministry of Defence website. By clicking the Submit Profile button you are agreeing to the terms and conditions as published on this site.

The Defence Industry Portal (The Portal) is facilitated by the Ministry of Defence. By viewing or using the Portal, you agree to the terms and conditions of use and, in particular, all terms and conditions and policies as published on www.defence.govt.nz(external link), without qualification. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms and conditions then you must stop accessing and using the Portal.

Authorised Representatives

Anyone completing and submitting any company's profile must be a duly authorised representative of the company.

The profile forms an application to become a registered user and becomes a published profile at the point the Ministry accepts it.

By clicking the Submit Profile button at the end of the form, the person submitting it agrees to these Terms and Conditions and confirms they are the duly authorised representative of the company.

Acceptance of Your Company Profile

Acceptance is not automatic or guaranteed. The Ministry of Defence will review all submitted profiles and reserves the right to request changes. The Ministry reserves the right to refuse any application to become a registered user without giving reasons. The Ministry's decision is final.

Access to the Portal

A confirmed registration provides one point of access to the portal for the company. While there can only be one profile per comany, a company can have several profiles where divisions of the same company have different capabilties. The decision to have more than one profile per company is entirely up to the company. If the Ministry of Defence is concerned about duplication, you may be contacted by email and your user registraion may then be linked to an existing profile, provided the duly authorised representative accepts.

If you are not sure whether or not your company already has a profile on the Portal, please email industry@defence.govt.nz before completing the company profile submission form.
