1. Introduction
Welcome to Cycled Design Raglan (“we”, “our”, “us”). We are a locally owned studio based in Raglan, New Zealand, focused on sustainable and circular design practices. By purchasing our products or using our services, you agree to be bound by the following Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). These Terms govern all use of our website, products, and services, including but not limited to laser cutting, engraving, CAD design, print-copy services, and custom fabrication.
2. Legal Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. All transactions are deemed to have taken place in New Zealand, and any disputes will be settled in accordance with New Zealand law.

- Custom laser cutting and engraving (using Mira 9 Laser)

- Print and copy production (A4/A3)
- Bespoke design and sustainable packaging

All descriptions and prices listed on our website are indicative only and subject to change without notice. Final pricing is confirmed via written quotation.
4. Lead Times and Availability
All made-to-order and back-order items carry a typical lead time of 5–10 working days, unless otherwise agreed. Delays due to material availability, customisation, or client revisions may extend lead times.
5. Waiver of Liability
By using our services or purchasing our products, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
- Material Use: Where reclaimed, upcycled, or customer-supplied materials are used, Cycled Design is not liable for inconsistencies, performance issues, or defects arising from the inherent nature of those materials.
- Design Input: Clients who provide their own designs or files accept full responsibility for file accuracy, copyright ownership, and suitability for laser cutting or printing. Cycled Design is not responsible for errors, production delays, or outcomes resulting from inaccurate or incomplete client files.
- Laser and Printing Work: Laser cutting and engraving is a high-heat process. Clients accept the risks of minor warping, burn marks, edge variation, or textural changes, especially on natural or reclaimed materials.
- Custom Orders: All custom designs, products, or modifications are final and non-refundable. It is the client’s responsibility to review and approve all proofs before production.
- Injury or Damage: Clients are responsible for safe handling and installation of all items. Cycled Design shall not be liable for any injury, property damage, or consequential loss arising from improper use, modification, or misuse of any item or service provided.
- Construction Use: Harold Gavin Drinn trading as Cycled Design will not be held liable for any construction faults that may cause damage or harm to any parties. While he uses his best abilities and selected waste materials to provide such service and product, any disputes will be assessed and, where possible, will be remedied within reason only.
6. Intellectual Property
All original CAD drawings, laser files, and product designs produced by Cycled Design remain our intellectual property unless otherwise agreed in writing. Unauthorized reproduction or resale of our designs is strictly prohibited.
7. Environmental Commitment
Cycled Design is powered by waste reduction. We use reclaimed materials wherever possible and are committed to circular design. Approximately 50% of landfill waste in Aotearoa comes from construction and demolition, which we aim to reduce by repurposing material into functional, long-lasting goods. By working with us, you support local craftsmanship and sustainable practice.
8. Payment Terms
All prices are listed in NZD and are subject to GST unless stated otherwise. Payment is due upon order confirmation unless alternate terms are agreed upon. Late payments may incur additional fees.
9. Cancellations, Refunds, and Returns
Due to the custom nature of our work:
- Cancellations must be made in writing before production begins.
- Custom items and cut-to-order materials are not eligible for refund unless faulty.
- We do not accept returns on personalised or bespoke items.
- Claims for damaged or incorrect items must be made within 7 days of receipt.
10. Online Sales & Third-Party Links
Our website may include links to third-party services. Cycled Design is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of these external sites.
