6. Conclusion of sales and availability of stock

  1. Registered users may place orders for Goods, Products and Services, which Match Trading or the Third Party Seller may accept or reject. Whether or not Match Trading or the Third Party Seller accepts an order depends on the availability of Goods, Products and Services, correctness of the information relating to the Goods (including without limitation the price) and receipt of payment or payment authorisation by Match Trading for the Goods, Products or Services.
  2. NOTE: Match Trading or the Third Party Seller will indicate the acceptance of your order in writing and thereafter by delivering the Goods or Products to you or allowing you to collect such Goods or Products, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Match Trading or the Third Party Seller come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Match Trading stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Match Trading will indicate the rejection of your order (by Match Trading itself or the Third Party Seller) by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid. Although Match Trading will update its Website daily and will further endeavour to ensure that all Products on the Website are in stock, it may take up to four weeks to order an item currently out of stock. Should a situation arise where you have paid for an out of stock item, you will be contacted with the option to wait for the Product or be reimbursed the purchase price.
  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. Once a dispatch/delivery notice is sent via email/sms it is assumed that you have received it. We cannot take responsibility for incorrect email/phone numbers or for failure to check email/sms messages timeously. After delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may return the Goods only in accordance with the Returns Policy. Please note that penalties and cancellation fees and costs may apply.
  4. Placing Goods in a wishlist 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. You cannot hold Match Trading or the Third Party Seller liable if such Goods are not available or are not available at the particular price when you only complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.
  5. You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited and that pricing may change at any time without notice. In the case of Goods for sale by Match Trading, Match Trading will take all reasonable steps 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 you have placed an order, Match Trading will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid by you for such Goods.
  6. In the case of Goods for sale by a Third Party Seller, Match Trading relies on inventory information supplied by the relevant Third Party Seller and Match Trading 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 shall be between you and the relevant Third Party Seller, your respective rights and obligations being as set out in these Terms and Conditions and in that of the Third Party Seller’s Terms and Conditions.
  7. We reserve the right to limit the amount of products which a customer can purchase.
  8. Please see details relating to Pre-orders / Ordering out of stock items in our FAQ’s: Pre-Order / Ordering out of stock, which are incorporated by reference.

7. Payment

  1. 1. We are committed to providing secure online payment facilities. All transactions are encrypted using appropriate encryption technology.
    2. Whether the Goods are for sale by Match Trading or a Third Party Seller, payments can be made for Goods via at least one, but not necessarily all of the following methods –

    -2. 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 are entitled to withhold delivery until such time as the additional information is received by us and authorisation is obtained for the amounts. Should we do not receive the requisite authorisation, your order for the Goods will be cancelled. You expressly warrant that you are fully authorised to use the credit card supplied for purposes of paying the Goods. 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. To help prevent fraudulent transactions there is a per transaction limit of R10 000 for credit card payments, please contact us at support@matchtrading.co.za should you require this limit to be increased;
    -3. direct bank deposit or electronic funds transfer: if you pay via direct bank deposit or electronic funds transfer, payment must be made within 5 (five) days of placing your order. Match Trading will not accept your order if payment has not been received;
    -4. Instant EFT;
    -5. Gift Voucher/cards

Users may go to www.paygate.co.za to view their security certificate and security policy.

8. Delivery of goods

  3. Where your order is accepted, Match Trading or the Third Party Seller will deliver the Goods to you as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than 30 (thirty) days after receipt of your payment (“Delivery Period”). Should such delivery be impossible, we will notify you that we are unable to deliver the Goods during the Delivery Period. You may then, within 7 (seven) days of receiving such notification elect whether you wish to cancel your order for the Goods. If you elect to cancel your order, we will reimburse you for the purchase price as soon as possible.
  4. Match Trading’s obligation to deliver a product to you is fulfilled when we deliver the product to the physical address nominated by you for delivery of the order. Match Trading is not responsible for any loss or unauthorised use of a product, before, during or after it has delivered the product to the physical address nominated by you.

Orders placed outside of these hours will be processed as soon as possible during the following week day office hours. For example orders placed on a weekend will be processed the following week.
  6.  Delivery cannot be made to PO boxes or any address where there is no-one to sign for delivery.
  7. Failed deliveries where no-one is available to accept the goods at the specified address shall attract additional charges. For example (but not limited to) if the package has to be returned to the sender and then re-sent. These charges will be payable by the person who placed the original order and must be settled before another delivery attempt is made.

9. Errors

  1. 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, we cannot be held 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.
  2. Match Trading shall not be bound by any incorrect information regarding our Goods displayed on any Third Party websites.
