You will be asked for your credentials (your username and password) every time that you shop online with us.

​
4.2 Price: The stated prices on our website are in South African Rand.
4.3 Display: We will use our best efforts to accurately display the goods, specifically regarding their description and price. Please remember however that the way you see the goods is also dependent on the device that you are using to access our website or app. We cannot guarantee that the goods you receive will look exactly as you have seen it.
​
4.4 Order completion: We will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the goods to you. Only at that point will your order be complete and an agreement of sale between you and us come into effect (the "Sale"). This is regardless of any communication from us stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. We will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amounts already paid. Adding goods to a wish list or placing it in an online shopping cart/bag without completing the purchase process ("checking out") does not constitute a valid order, so we may remove the goods from your online bag/cart if stock is no longer available and change the price of the goods without notice to you.
​4.5 Order cancellation by us: We reserve the right to not process an order or to cancel an existing order (partially or completely):
​

We will refund you the Rand value that you have paid, only if you have already paid for the cancelled order.
