4. Conclusion of sales and availability of stock

4.1 Registered users may place orders for Goods, which Bidvest Renewable Solutions may accept or reject. Whether or not Bidvest Renewable Solutions accepts an order depends on the availability of Goods, correctness of the information relating to the Goods (including without limitation the price) and receipt of payment by Bidvest Renewable Solutions for the Goods.

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.

4.3 Prior to delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may cancel an order at any time provided you do so before receiving a dispatch or delivery notice. After delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may cancel the Sale only in accordance with the Returns Policy.

4.4 Placing Goods in a wish list or shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such Goods, and as such, Goods may be removed from the shopping basket if stock is no longer available or the price thereof might change without notice to you. 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.

4.5 You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited and that pricing may change at any time without notice to you. In the case of Goods for sale by Bidvest Renewable Solutions, Bidvest Renewable Solutions will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when stock is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued on the Website.

4.8 Bidvest Renewable Solutions reserves the right to discontinue or change the specifications of its Goods from time to time without notice to you. However, the specifications of a particular Good will not be changed after order confirmation and before delivery of that Good to you.

4.9 These Terms and Conditions are in no way intended to deprive you, if you are a “consumer” contemplated under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 (ECTA) of your right to cancel an agreement for the supply of goods within seven days after the date of the receipt of the goods, subject to a handling fee / the reasonable cost of returning the goods, which will be off-set against the refunded purchase price. You are a consumer under ECTA if you are an individual who will use the goods you buy.

6.3 Where it accepts your order, Bidvest Renewable Solutions will deliver the Goods to you as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than 7 (seven) business days of receipt of your payment (“Delivery Period”). We will notify you if we are unable to deliver the Goods during the Delivery Period due to circumstances which are beyond our control. You may then, within 7 (seven) days of receiving such notification elect whether or not to cancel your order for the Goods. If you elect to cancel your order, we will reimburse you for the purchase price.
