2.3 Each Virtual Card is valid for use only during the period stated at the time it is provided to the applicable ticketing agency and remains the property of Air New Zealand at all times. Air New Zealand may extend the validity period at its sole discretion.

2.4 Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions, the Virtual Card Holder shall remain liable at all times for the performance or non-performance of its agents (including ticketing and/or booking agent) or other third parties that it may use from time to time to manage any aspect of the Virtual Card and provide related services including, without limitation, booking Services on the Virtual Card Holder's behalf.
