flag New Zealand’s High Court rules Bachcare’s cancellation policies unfair, demanding fairer, transparent terms for guests.

flag New Zealand’s High Court has ruled that Bachcare’s cancellation terms were unfair, ordering the holiday rental platform to revise its policies. flag The decision, prompted by a Commerce Commission case, found terms allowing full loss of payment for cancellations—regardless of timing or cause—were unbalanced and harmed consumers, especially during extreme weather or administrative errors. flag Bachcare must now offer fairer, transparent terms, including refund protections for guests affected by unforeseen events or platform errors. flag The settlement, which applies to current and future bookings, marks a key step in consumer protection for digital platforms.
