Pritty Ghood: the short version

Version 1.6, effective 21 August 2026. This summary is accurate, but it is a summary: the full Platform Terms are what govern.

What Pritty Ghood is. We run a New Zealand marketplace where local businesses (Hosts) rent out physical advertising space, and Advertisers book and pay for it online. The advertising contract for each booking is between the Host and the Advertiser. We act as the Host's agent: we run the platform, collect the payment, and pass the Host their price.

Why we do it. Local advertising money should circulate locally. For every completed booking we donate an amount equal to 6% of the Host's listed price to the charity the Host has nominated, plus the whole of the rounding on the price the advertiser paid. That donation comes out of our service fee. It is our own money that we choose to donate, it is not held in trust for the charity, and the charity cannot enforce it. We publish it because it is a promise we keep, and we pay donations monthly.

What you pay (Advertisers). The price on a listing is the price you pay. Our 11% service fee and the card processing cost are already inside it, and nothing is added at checkout. The Host sets their own price and receives all of it; the listing shows that price with the fee and the card cost added, rounded up to the next $5 (or the next $10 over $1,000). The whole of that rounding goes to the host's chosen charity on top of the 6% we already donate, and we keep none of it. The total is simply the listed price times your campaign: 12 weeks of a $55 a week listing is $660. Pritty Ghood is not registered for GST, so no GST is charged on our fee. Your receipt shows what you paid, Schedule 1 of the terms shows how that price is worked out, and you can ask us how any booking of yours was made up. If your card turns out to be issued overseas, the processing cost is higher, the checkout will re-quote you, and nothing is sent until you accept the new total.

How booking works. Asking costs nothing and needs no card. The Host has 72 hours to accept or the request expires. Once they accept, you have 72 hours to pay, and your dates are held for you in the meantime. If you do not pay in that time the booking lapses and the Host can let those dates to somebody else. Most campaigns run in two week blocks, Monday to Sunday, with at least 10 working days' lead time so there is time to make and deliver your artwork. Some listings, sponsorships especially, are also offered for whole months: two, three, six or twelve, starting any day. Where a listing needs no artwork, a name read out at a prizegiving for instance, there is no lead time and no proof photograph, and the host delivers whatever the listing says is included. Some listings are sold as one fixed term: the host sets the length and the start date, everyone who books gets those same dates, and there is nothing for you to choose. Some listings take more than one sponsor at a time, so being booked in does not make you the only one unless the listing says it carries a single booking. Where a listing sells more than one thing, each is named, you pick the one you want, and it is held for you from the moment you ask, not from when the host says yes. The Host photographs your ad in place as proof, and every campaign gets a QR code with scan reporting.

Cancellations and refunds. If you cancel 7 or more days before the start you get 100% of the price, the service fee and the rounding back. Less than 7 days before the start, 50%. After the campaign starts, nothing, subject to your legal rights below. If the Host cancels, you always get the price and service fee back in full, and the Host gets a strike. Three strikes in 12 months and the Host is suspended. Refunds go back to the card you paid with.

Your legal rights. If you are an individual advertising something personal, you are a consumer, and nothing in our terms takes away your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986. The refund table applies in addition to those rights. If you are advertising for a business, our terms include a contracting out of the Consumer Guarantees Act, which is allowed between businesses.

Hosts. You set your price and you receive all of it. Advertisers see that price with our fee and the card cost already in it, which is a higher number than the one you set, and none of that difference comes out of what you are paid. You choose which bookings to accept, you must display the ad for the whole campaign, and you must complete Stripe onboarding before you can be paid. You nominate the charity for your bookings' donations. Cancelling an accepted booking refunds the advertiser in full and earns a strike unless something genuinely outside your control caused it.

Staff. You can give your staff their own logins so somebody can answer booking requests while you are away. Each of them gets their own email and password, and you choose what each one can do. Whatever they do counts as you having done it: if one of them accepts a booking, you are in that contract, and if one of them cancels an accepted booking, the strike is yours. So tell them what your space will and will not carry before you let them answer anything. We do not train your staff and we do not know your rules. Your bank details, your charity, replying to a strike and adding more staff stay with you and cannot be handed to anybody.

Other things worth knowing. You must be 18 or older. Ad content must comply with the law and the ASA codes, and the Advertiser is responsible for it. The signwriter directory is introduction only, so any job you commission is between you and the signwriter. Bookings made while payments are switched off are demonstrations and not binding. Disputes go first to us, and the Disputes Tribunal can hear claims up to $60,000. New Zealand law applies.
