Your payment method will be debited in South African Rands.

We aim to protect legitimate payment card account holders from fraud and therefore will report to the relevant authorities any person using, or attempting to use, a payment method without apparent authority.

DELIVERY

Times to despatch shown on the website are an estimate only. We shall not be liable for delays caused by matters outside of Our control.

Any claim based on any defect in quantity, quality or condition of the goods must be notified to Us within ten days of delivery, after which You will be deemed to have accepted the goods.

The cost of delivery shipment will be displayed at the shopping basket and checkout prior to submitting Your order. The cost is dependent on destination country and service level selected. Not all services are available in all locations. We reserve the right not to ship to all countries/destinations.

Risk of damage to, or loss of, the goods shall pass to You at the point at which they are delivered to You.

For South African couriered consignments, We reserve the right to charge a R150 Redirection fee to any address other than the delivery address specified in Your order. If no South African delivery address is specified in Your order consignments will automatically be sent to the South African billing address.

We will provide You with an expected delivery date when We despatch Your order. It is Your responsibility to ensure that someone is available at the address to sign for the delivery should it be required.

confirming with Your local delivery centre that no consignments are being held for You;

ensuring that someone is available to take delivery at the address provided, and

providing Us or Our delivery partners declaration of non-delivery upon request.

Although every effort will be made by Us to ensure that non-delivery, issues are resolved as quickly as possible,

Failure by You to complete and return declarations of non-delivery as requested by Us or Our partners that results in the rejection of Our compensation claim, will result in You being debited for the current retail value of the missing items.

It is Your responsibility to inform Us as soon as practicable (but no more than seven days), of subsequent delivery of goods previously refunded or replaced due to non-delivery.

Failure by You to return or make available for collection, goods previously refunded or replaced but subsequently delivered, will result in Your being debited for the current retail value of the items.

AVAILABILITY AND PRICING

Although every effort is made by Us to ensure that the prices displayed in Our catalogues or on the Site are correct, mispricing can occur. Under these circumstances, We reserve the right, at Our discretion, either to contact You for instructions or cancel Your order and notify You accordingly.

We accept no liability whatsoever for delays as a result of stock level inaccuracies.

Where items are not in stock and a timescale for availability is provided, this timescale is an estimate, not a guarantee and should not be relied upon. We will notify You if items are subsequently delayed or unavailable from the supplier. We accept no liability for delays from Our suppliers.

We will then assess the situation and determine the best course of action required, in order to resolve the situation for You as quickly as possible.

You agree to undertake reasonable steps as requested by Us, in order to resolve the situation. Steps may include, but are not limited to, providing Us with images of said fault by email, fax or post. Returning the item to Us or Our appointed expert, via Our appointed service, for assessment, and ensuring the availability of the item for collection by Our agents.
