SECTION 3 - ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS AND TIMELINESS OF INFORMATION

We are not responsible if information made available on this site is not accurate, complete or current. The material on this site is provided for general information only and should not be relied upon or used as the sole basis for making decisions without consulting primary, more accurate, more complete or more timely sources of information. Any reliance on the material on this site is at your own risk.
Whether or not Grade Africa accepts an order depends on the availability of Goods/Products, correctness of the information relating to the Goods/Products (including without limitation the price) and receipt of payment or payment authorisation by Grade Africa for the Goods. 
Grade Africa will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods/Products to you, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Grade Africa 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 amount already paid.
You acknowledge that stock of all Goods/Products on offer is limited. In the case of Goods/Products for sale by Grade Africa, Grade Africa 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, Grade Africa will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid by you for such Goods. 

This site may contain certain historical information. Historical information, necessarily, is not current and is provided for your reference only. We reserve the right to modify the contents of this site at any time, but we have no obligation to update any information on our site. You agree that it is your responsibility to monitor changes to our site.

We shall take all reasonable efforts to accurately reflect the description, availability, purchase price and delivery charges of Goods/Products on the Website. However, should there be any errors of any nature whatsoever on the Website (not due to gross negligence on the part of Grade Africa), 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. 

SECTION 4 - MODIFICATIONS TO THE SERVICE AND PRICES

Prices for our products are subject to change without notice.

We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part or content thereof) without notice at any time.

We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

SECTION 5 - PRODUCTS OR SERVICES (if applicable)

Certain products or services may be available exclusively online through the website. These products or services may have limited quantities and are subject to return or exchange only according to our Return Policy.

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours and images of our products that appear at the store. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any colour will be accurate.

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products or Services to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, at the sole discretion of Grade Africa. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time.

SECTION 6 - ACCURACY OF BILLING AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION

We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors.

Placing Goods/Products in a shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such Goods/Products, and as such, Goods/Products may be removed from the shopping basket if stock is no longer available. You cannot hold Grade Africa liable if such Goods/Products are unavailable when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

For more detail, please review our Returns Policy.

SECTION 7 – PAYMENT TERMS

We are committed to providing secure online payment facilities. All transactions are encrypted using appropriate encryption technology.
Payment can be made for Goods via -

• credit card: where payment is made by credit card, we may require additional information in order to authorise and/or verify the validity of payment. In such cases we reserve the right to withhold delivery until such time as the additional information is received by us and authorisation is obtained by us for the amounts. If we do not receive authorisation, your order for the Goods will be cancelled. You warrant that you are fully authorised to use the credit card supplied for purposes of paying for the Goods/Products. You also warrant that your credit card has sufficient available funds to cover all the costs incurred as a result of the services used on the Website;

SECTION 8 – Vouchers, Coupons and Promotions

Grade Africa may make electronic gift vouchers (“Vouchers”) and electronic promotional coupons (“Coupons”) available for use on the Website towards the purchase of Grade Africa Goods/Products. 
Vouchers are valid for 3 years after sale. If your Voucher has not been used within that period, it will expire.
Vouchers cannot be used to buy other Vouchers or Coupons, and are not transferable: they are only eligible for redemption via the original email address that they were sent to. Vouchers do not accrue interest and are not refundable for cash once purchased. 
If your Voucher value is insufficient for the order you wish to place, you may make up the difference by paying via one of our other payment methods.
Coupons are issued electronically at Grade Africa’s sole discretion. Coupons are issued under specific terms and conditions regulating when and how they may be used. 
As a general rule, and unless specified otherwise on the specific Coupon itself:

• a Coupon can only be used once, with promotional offers on the Website; 
• only one Coupon can be used per person unless Grade Africa specifies otherwise; and
• the value of the Coupon will be set off against the value of your shopping basket and the balance remaining, if any, will be payable by you. 
• Coupons cannot be used to buy Vouchers or other Coupons, cannot be exchanged for cash, and are not transferable to any other person.
• If Grade Africa is running a special on the Website where a discount is automatically applied upon check-out, and you try to redeem a Coupon as well, the Website will automatically apply the promotion of greater value or benefit to you.

From time to time Grade Africa will run promotions. These promotions will either be on selected products or site wide. For each promotion there will be specific terms and conditions. Promotions may require the customer to apply the stated promo-code to their cart during the check-out process.
Promo-code discounts, even if site wide, will only apply to physical Goods/Products. No promo-code discount will be applicable to gift vouchers/cards. 

SECTION 9 – DELIVERY OF GOODS

Grade Africa delivers Goods/Products via courier.
Items heavy or large (based on volumetric weight) may carry additional delivery fees. Additional fees for Deliveries over 30kg may be decided on a case by case basis.
You may contact us via email at info@gradeafrica.com for information related to additional fees for Deliveries over 30kg.
Where Grade Africa accepts your order, Grade Africa will deliver the Goods/Products to you as soon as is reasonably possible, but no later than 30 (thirty) days of receipt of your payment (“Delivery Period”), excluding any delays attributed to international customs authorities, courier services, third-party delays or vis maior. You will be notified by Grade Africa if delivery within this period is not possible. You may then, within 7 (seven) days of receipt of such notification, elect whether or not to cancel your order for the Goods/Products. If you elect to cancel the order then we will reimburse you for the purchase price. 

SECTION 10 - OPTIONAL TOOLS

We may provide you with access to third-party tools over which we neither monitor nor have any control nor input.
