o If we believe there has been fraudulent use of a credit card, we immediately notify the issuing bank and international agencies. We also do our best to contact the lawful cardholder
  
o The cost of credit card fraud over the internet is currently mainly carried by the Merchant
The cardholder may have to pay a minimal fee, but it is the Merchant who automatically receives the chargeback & associated bank fees, has mailed the goods and loses the good name they have spent money and time building. The merchant must also spend many hours completing paperwork and/or possibly forfeit their merchant acct. Lge international firms have insurance for this, smaller businesses do not.

The islands of New Zealand are in the path of the 'roaring forties' (winds that circle the lower part of the globe and are 1,600km (990 miles) from Australia. Population is still under 4 million, with 1.3 million in Auckland. New Zealand is 12hrs ahead of GMT but 13 hrs ahead in summer.
Capt James Cook circumnavigated the main islands in 1769 and sealing & whaling soon followed. The Treaty with the British was signed in 1840 at Waitangi. Many English & Scottish settled in NZ after the Treaty was signed.
New Zealand has been a land apart for around 80 million years, and is the home to many plants and animals found nowhere else on the planet.
The flightless bird the kiwi, found more in the warm Northland forests is a NZ icon and New Zealanders overseas are often referred to as 'kiwis'.
New Zealand is a relatively informal society. Smoking is banned in offices, shops, bars, hotels, planes, all public transport.
Tipping in taxis, restaurants & hotels is NOT obligatory, but it is not inappropriate to reward particularly good service.
