5. Conclusion of Sales and availability of stock
5.1. Registered users may place orders for Goods, which WILBERRYS SA may accept or reject. Whether or not WILBERRYS SA 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 or payment authorisation by WILBERRYS SA for the Goods.
5.2. NOTE: WILBERRYS SA will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods to you, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and WILBERRYS SA come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from WILBERRYS SA stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. WILBERRYS SA will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
5.3. Prior to delivery of the Goods, you may cancel an order at any time provided you do so before receiving a dispatch or delivery notice. After delivery of the Goods, you may cancel the Sale only in accordance with the Returns Policy.
5.4. Placing Goods in a 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. You cannot hold WILBERRYS SA liable if such Goods are not available when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.
5.5. You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited. In the case of Goods for sale by WILBERRYS SA, WILBERRYS SA 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. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of stock. When Goods are no longer available after placing an order, WILBERRYS SA will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid by you for such Goods.
5.6 Please note that all fragrances have been imported without the approval of the manufacturer or its licensed supplier. Therefore these goods will not be covered by the warranty of the manufacturer or its licensed supplier. However, the WILBERRYS SA Returns Policy applies to all items purchased on vipclub.co.za.
6. Payment
6.1. We are committed to providing secure online payment facilities. All transactions are encrypted using appropriate encryption technology.
6.2. Payment can be made for Goods via –
6.2.1. direct bank deposit or electronic funds transfer: if you pay via direct bank deposit or electronic funds transfer, payment must be made within 2 (two) days of placing your order;
6.2.3. Credit Card via Payfast;
6.2.4. Store credit
6.3. You may contact us via email at support@wilberrys.com to obtain a full record of your payment. We will also send you email communications about your order and payment.
6.4. Once you have selected your payment method and you accept these Terms and Conditions, you will be directed to a link to a secure site for payment of the applicable purchase price for the Goods.
7. Delivery of goods
7.1. WILBERRYS SA offers one method of delivery of Goods to you, which is via courier.
7.2. Please see details of our delivery and shipping terms and conditions in our Delivery & Returns page.
7.4. Where it accepts your order, WILBERRYS SA will deliver the Goods to you as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than 7 (seven) days of receipt of your payment (“Delivery Period”). We will notify you if we are unable to deliver the Goods during the Delivery Period. 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.
8. Errors
We shall take all reasonable efforts to accurately reflect the description, availability, purchase price and delivery charges of Goods on the Website. However, should there be any errors of whatsoever nature on the Website (which are not due to our gross negligence), we shall not be liable for any loss, claim or expense relating to a transaction based on any error, save – in the case of any incorrect purchase price – to the extent of refunding you for any amount already paid, or otherwise as set out in the Returns Policy.
