These Website Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) govern the sale of Goods (as defined below) and the use of the Website.
These Terms and Conditions are binding and enforceable against every person that accesses or uses this Website (“you”, “your” or “user”), including without limitation each user who registers as contemplated below (“registered user”).

The purchaser/ user indemnifies and holds the Provider harmless against any loss, injury or damages which may be sustained as a result of using the products sold on the Website.
ArtistWarehouseOnline allows third party sellers to list and sell their Goods on the Website (each a “Third Party Seller”). ArtistWarehouseOnline will indicate on relevant product pages and checkout pages when Goods are being offered for sale by a Third Party Seller. Certain terms in these Terms and Conditions only apply to purchases from Third Party Sellers, and others only apply to purchases from ArtistWarehouseOnline. This will be made clear in the relevant clause.

Important Notice

These Terms and Conditions apply to users who are consumers for purposes of the Consumer Protection Act, 68 of 2008 (the “CPA”).
These Terms and Conditions contain provisions that appear in similar text and style to this clause and which –
- may limit the risk or liability of ArtistWarehouseOnline or a third party; and/or
- may create risk or liability for the user; and/or
- may compel the user to indemnify ArtistWarehouseOnline or a third party; and/or

Your attention is drawn to these Terms and Conditions because they are important and should be carefully noted.

If there is any provision in these Terms and Conditions that you do not understand, it is your responsibility to ask ArtistWarehouseOnline to explain it to you before you accept the Terms and Conditions or continue using the Website.
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions is intended or must be understood to unlawfully restrict, limit or avoid any right or obligation, as the case may be, created for either you or ArtistWarehouseOnline in terms of the CPA.
ArtistWarehouseOnline permits the use of this Website subject to the Terms and Conditions. By using this Website in any way, you shall be deemed to have accepted all the Terms and Conditions unconditionally. You must not use this Website if you do not agree to the Terms and Conditions.
These Terms and Conditions are divided into three sections, as follows: Orders and Sales; Privacy Policy; and General Legal Terms.

Returns

Please refer to our Exchanges & Returns Policy for more information about returns (and related refunds, replacements or repairs). The Exchanges & Returns Policy is incorporated by reference and therefore form part of these Terms and Conditions.

Registration and use of the website

Only registered users may purchase Goods on the Website.
To register as a user, you must provide a unique username and password and provide certain information and personal details to ArtistWarehouseOnline. You will need to use your unique username and password to access the Website in order to purchase Goods.
You agree and warrant that your username and password shall:
1. be used for personal use only; and
2. not be disclosed by you to any third party.
For security purposes you agree to enter the correct username and password whenever purchasing Goods, failing which you will be denied access.
You agree that ArtistWarehouseOnline will accept and process your order for Goods (subject to payment being received) once the correct username and password have been entered, irrespective of whether the use of the username and password is unauthorised or fraudulent and that you will be liable for payment of such order, save where the order is cancelled by you in accordance with these Terms and Conditions..
You agree to notify ArtistWarehouseOnline immediately upon becoming aware of or reasonably suspecting any unauthorised access to or use of your username and password and to take steps to mitigate any resultant loss or harm.
By using the Website you warrant that you are 18 (eighteen) years of age or older and of full legal capacity. If you are under the age of 18 (eighteen) or if you are not legally permitted to enter into a binding agreement, then you may use the Website only with the involvement and supervision of your parent or legal guardian. If your parent or legal guardian supervises you and gives his/her consent, then such person agrees to be bound to these Terms and Conditions and to be liable and responsible for you and all your obligations under these Terms and Conditions.
You agree that you will not in any way use any device, software or other instrument to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Website. In addition, you agree that you will not in any way use any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual process to monitor, copy, distribute or modify the Website or the information contained herein, without the prior written consent from an authorised Company representative (such consent is deemed given for standard search engine technology employed by Internet search websites to direct Internet users to this Website).
You may not use the Website to distribute material, which is defamatory, offensive, contains or amounts to hate speech or is otherwise unlawful.
You may not in any way display, publish, copy, print, post or otherwise use the Website and/or the information contained therein without the express prior written consent of an authorised Company representative.

Conclusion of sales and availability of stock

Registered users may place orders for Goods as long as the Goods are available and have not been sold out.
Placing goods in a shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an agreement of sale and/or 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 ArtistWarehouseOnline or the Third Party Seller liable if such goods are not available when the purchase cycle is completed at a later stage.
An agreement of sale between you and ArtistWarehouseOnline or the Third Party Seller will come into effect upon completion of an online order summary on the Website and payment or payment authorisation is received by ArtistWarehouseOnline (or ArtistWarehouseOnline on behalf of the Third Party Seller) to the satisfaction of ArtistWarehouseOnline (the “sale”).
ArtistWarehouseOnline may, in its sole discretion, accept the cancellation of an order by you, on sufficient cause shown and on a case by case basis. In which event the provisions set out in this clause 10 in respect of refunds and returns will similarly apply.
You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited. In the case of Goods offered for sale by ArtistWarehouseOnline, ArtistWarehouseOnline 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 and we will only be liable for delivery of the Goods when the Goods are available. When Goods are no longer available after conclusion of a sale, ArtistWarehouseOnline will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid by you for such Goods.
In the case of Goods being offered by a Third Party Seller, ArtistWarehouseOnline relies on inventory information supplied by the relevant Third Party Seller and ArtistWarehouseOnline accordingly bears no liability for any inaccuracies in the information supplied to it. Consequently, should you order any goods from a Third Party Seller which are in fact sold-out, any resulting dispute should be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Seller, your respective rights and obligations being as set out hereunder and in the Refund Policy.

Merchant Outlet Country and Transaction Currency

Delivery of goods

ArtistWarehouseOnline offers 2 (two) methods of delivery of Goods to you. You may elect delivery via:
courier;
post office;
Please see details of our delivery and shipping terms and conditions under FAQ’s: Shipping and Delivery which are incorporated herein by reference.

ArtistWarehouseOnline will deliver the Goods to you as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than 30 (thirty) 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 proceed with your order for the Goods or cancel your order. If you elect to cancel your order, we will reimburse you with the purchase price.

Delivery policy

Subject to stock availability with suppliers and receipt of payment, requests will be processed within 7 working days but no later than 30 (thirty) days of receipt of your payment and handed over to a courier company for delivery. Unless otherwise specified, delivery over a said amount of R450.00 to all large cities and centers is free. For remote areas not serviced by standard couriers The Provider will deliver via Post Office, or to the nearest town to the User that is accessible by Fastway Couriers or the Post Office within their normal routes for a nominal fee. In these circumstances the Provider will be in contact with the User to arrange an alternative address.

The Provider will supply all goods to the delivery company in good order and will ensure that goods arrive at the User’s chosen delivery address in the same good order.

Cancelled orders on the e-commerce facility will be refunded after deduction of a 10% charge for administration costs. The Provider reserves the right to cancel an order for which payment has already been received. This may occur if stock is insufficient or the quality of goods ordered does not meet the Provider’s standards. Should the Provider exercise this right, the User will receive a full refund with no deductions.

Any complaints regarding the standard and quality of the product or products bought by consumers through the e-commerce facility should be directed to the Marketing Manager, P O Box 227, Modderfontein, 1645, or marketing@artistwarehouseonline.com

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 as set out in the Exchanges & Returns Policy.

Returns / Refund Policy

If on receiving your order you are not satisfied with your purchase, let our customer service team know within 7 days and we will collect it at your expense and provide you with a refund provided the item is in its original condition and original packaging and completely unused.

If you have used a product and found it to be damaged or faulty we will collect the product at our expense and either replace, refund or repair the item, depending on the circumstance.

Although seldom charged, we reserve the right to charge a 10% administration fee for returned orders should the returns process incur significant administration expenses.

We’ve made the returns and exchange process even easier by creating a little self-help online system for you. Simply fill out the form and hit submit. A customer service agent will then get hold of you shortly. Start the process here.

Third Party Sellers

ArtistWarehouseOnline will indicate on relevant product pages and checkout pages when Goods are being offered for sale by a Third Party Seller. In such cases ArtistWarehouseOnline only provides the platform to facilitate transactions between Third Party Sellers and ArtistWarehouseOnline customers. ArtistWarehouseOnline is neither the buyer nor the seller of these items unless otherwise specified.

The contract formed at the completion of a sale of the Goods offered for sale by a Third Party Seller is therefore solely between the registered user and such Third Party Seller. ArtistWarehouseOnline is not a party to the contract.

The Third Party Seller is solely responsible for the sale and fulfilment of delivery of the Goods. The Third Party Seller is also responsible to provide an invoice to the registered user if required.

Because ArtistWarehouseOnline wants the registered user to have a safe and consistent experience, ArtistWarehouseOnline will handle any returns under the CPA or the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 2002 (“ECT Act”), by the registered user arising out of or in connection with the contract between a registered user and a Third Party Seller on behalf of the Third Party Seller according to ArtistWarehouseOnline’s own policies. Should such claim escalate into being a dispute, although ArtistWarehouseOnline reserves the right to become involved in an attempt to resolve it, ArtistWarehouseOnline is not obliged to do so and any disputes must be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Seller alone.

A copy of the ECT Act is available at http://www.internet.org.za/ect_act.html

disclosure is necessary to protect and defend the rights or property of ArtistWarehouseOnline.

We will be entitled to disclose your personal information to those of our employees and/or third party service providers who assist us to interact with you via our Website or email, for the sale of Goods or when delivering Goods to you, and thus need to know your personal information in order to assist us to communicate with you properly and efficiently.

Cookies

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a basic text file that is stored on your device (computer, mobile phone, tablet or other) by a website’s server. Each cookie is unique to your web browser, and contains completely anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the website name. This allows a website to remember things like your personal preferences, products you prefer or what’s in your shopping basket.

This Website makes use of first and third party “cookies” to automatically collect information and data through the standard operation of the Internet servers. These “Cookies”, small text files a website can use (and which we may use) to recognise repeat users, facilitate the user’s on-going access to and use of a website and allow a website to track usage behaviour and compile aggregate data that will allow the website operator to improve the functionality of the website and its content. The type of information collected by cookies is not used to personally identify you.

Cookies facilitate web analytics tools like Google Analytics and provide more relevant Display Advertising to Users who have visited the Website, using third party tools such as the Google Analytics Remarketing.

If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature. Please note that cookies may be necessary to provide you with certain features available on our Website, and thus if you disable the cookies on your browser you may not be able to use those features, and your access to our Website will therefore be limited. If you do accept a “cookie”, you thereby consent to our use of any personal information collected by us using that cookie subject to the provisions below.

Cookie Opt out
Most web browsers provide the option to block some or all cookie types should you wish to. Users can also opt out of the Google Display Network using the Ads Preferences Manager. Because many of our Website’s features utilise cookies, we recommend that Users do not block them.
