4. Formation of Electronic Contract (ECT Act Sections 22 & 23)

• Placing items in your cart or submitting a checkout form constitutes an offer to purchase Products or book Services subject to these Terms.
• In terms of Section 22 and Section 23 of the ECT Act, a binding contract of sale is concluded only once payment (or an authorised Cash on Delivery / In-Store Collection commitment) is verified and our system dispatches an electronic Order Confirmation to your registered email address.

5. Secure Payment Methods (ECT Act Section 43(5))

We provide a sufficiently secure payment system in compliance with Section 43(5) of the ECT Act. Depending on the payment methods enabled on this store, we accept:

All online card transactions are processed over 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption through PCI-DSS Level 1 certified gateways with 3D-Secure authentication. We never store your full card number or CVV.
• Cash on Delivery (COD) / In-Store Collection / POS: Where enabled by the Store, payment may be settled upon physical collection or delivery.

6. Statutory Cooling-Off Period (ECT Act Section 44 & CPA Section 16)

• 7-Day Electronic Cooling-Off Right (ECT Act s44): For qualifying electronic transactions, you are entitled to cancel your transaction without reason and without penalty within 7 (seven) calendar days after the date of receipt of the goods (or within 7 days of concluding the agreement for services), subject to the statutory exclusions in Section 42(2) of the ECT Act (such as custom-made/personalised goods, perishable goods, audio/video/software unsealed by the consumer, or services that have already begun with your consent).

• Full refunds under Section 44 are processed within 15 business days (and typically within 5–7 business days) of receiving the returned item.

We reserve the right to charge a reasonable cancellation fee only where permitted by Section 17(3)–(4) of the CPA (for late cancellations where capacity could not reasonably be reallocated), and no cancellation fee applies where cancellation is due to death or hospitalisation (CPA s17(5)).

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, our aggregate liability arising out of any order or service booking shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the relevant order. We shall not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential losses. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any consumer right or supplier liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (including Section 51 and Section 61).
