PRODUCT INFORMATION

While every effort is made to ensure that the product you buy, including fabric, thickness of acrylic, glass or mirror products, corresponds as closely as possible to the sample shown on our website, slight differences may occur. We regret that no responsibility can be accepted for variations which add to the unique characteristics of Acryluso products

PRICE AND METHOD OF PAYMENT

The prices displayed on the Acryluso website and in stores are quoted in South African Rands, which is valid and effective only in relation to supply in South Africa. All prices displayed in-store or on the Acryluso website are inclusive of VAT.

Full payment of the price and delivery charges (where applicable) is required before products will be delivered or collected. The product remains the property of Acryluso until payment is received in full.

All major credit and debit cards as well as EFT payments are accepted.

In the case of EFT payments, proof of payment must be forwarded to our head office. The email address to be used is admin@acryluso.co.za . Please allow 3 business days for the receipt of EFT funds to be confirmed. Goods will only be released for collection or delivery once the receipt of funds has been confirmed.

When making an EFT payment, Acryluso advises customers to be vigilant and confirm all relevant and necessary information before making payment. Should the payment be intercepted by fraudulent third parties, Acryluso shall not be liable for any loss suffered by the customer. Please be advised that Acryluso will not proceed with the contract of sale if we cannot confirm receipt of funds as a result of fraudulent interception.

Please retain your invoice as proof of purchase. Regrettably, no returns, exchanges or refunds will be considered without the original invoice.

Prices on the website and in-store are subject to change without notification.

SPECIAL ORDERS

You will be provided with a quotation for all custom orders and back orders (collectively “special orders”). It is your responsibility to verify the correctness of all information on the quotation before Acryluso puts the order into the production schedule. 

For special orders, a deposit of 70% (to be finally determined by Acryluso depending on the circumstances) in advance is required. You may not cancel an order for special orders prior to delivery, unless Acryluso allows this in their discretion. In the case that the special order is cancelled, you will forfeit any deposit or amount already paid for the special order.

Lead time for special orders depends on the product, its availability and production capacity. The anticipated lead time will be stated on the sales order. Acryluso will inform you of any delays. It is acknowledged that products that are subject to special orders may differ from samples due to hand made processes and also the considerations set out in the PRODUCT INFORMATION section above and it will be so accepted by the customer.

DELIVERIES AND COLLECTIONS

A FEE IS CHARGED FOR ALL DELIVERIES under R3000. The delivery cost will be reflected on the appropriate invoice in accordance with the prevailing Acryluso policy.

You can also elect to collect goods from our factory located at 7 Olympia Street, Eastgate Extension, Johannesburg. 

All risk in the Product shall pass to the customer upon delivery or collection.

It is entirely at Acryluso’s discretion to offer the necessary remedy, being either repair, replace or credit, should your product breach the extended warranty. In addition, Acryluso will charge necessary collection and delivery costs in certain circumstances.

COOLING OFF PERIOD

Section 44 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act may apply to your electronic transactions. If your transaction qualifies as an electronic transaction and you qualify as a consumer under the ECT Act, you may be entitled to cancel some electronic transactions within seven days, without reason or penalty. This means that you have to return new, unused goods, and we will refund the purchase price. The only cost levied against you will be the direct cost of returning the goods.

FURNITURE RETURNS

In addition to a product being returnable in terms of the Returns Policy below, if the customer is not happy with their furniture purchase or has made an error with their furniture purchase and wishes to exchange or return their furniture purchase, the customer may do so within 10 business days of purchase. Goods must be returned in their original condition and packaging along with the original invoice. The customer may choose either a credit or exchange, unfortunately no refunds are given. 

Should the customer wish to return their product, the customer will be charged a 20% handling/restocking fee for the return of the furniture product in terms of this section (this fee may increase dependent on circumstances). If the product requires upliftment, a collection fee will in addition be charged. The customer will be given a credit for the value of the furniture product less the handling fee. This does not apply to ‘special orders’ as we do not accept any returns on ‘special orders’.

If the customer has chosen an exchange, they may not choose a product that exceeds the purchase price of the original product less the handling fee, collection fee and use charge if applicable, unless the customer pays in the difference in the purchase price.

Before a credit or exchange is processed, the product will be assessed for wear and tear. Should there be evidence of use, we will impose a charge for use. This charge will be in line with the extent of use.

This section does not apply to custom or made to order products.

It is acknowledged that exchanges are subject to product availability at the time of the request for exchange.

Goods must be returned in their original condition and packaging along with the original invoice. The customer may choose to either exchange the homeware purchase or take a store credit for the value of the homeware goods.
