4.2 NOTE: Bidvest Renewable Solutions will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods to you or allowing you to collect them, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Bidvest Renewable Solutions come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Bidvest Renewable Solutions stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Bidvest Renewable Solutions will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, within 30 days thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.

Bidvest Renewable Solutions shall not be liable if such Goods are not available or are not available at the particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.
