Whether or not 3D Wax Worx 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 3D Wax Worx for the Goods.

    2. NOTE: 3D Wax Worx will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods to you or allowing you to collect them, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and 3D Wax Worx or the come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from 3D Wax Worx stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. 3D Wax Worx will indicate the rejection of your order (by 3D Wax Worx itself or the ) by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.

    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 to you.

    7. Certain Goods may not be purchased for re-sale. Should we suspect that any such Goods are being purchased for sale, we are entitled to cancel your order immediately on notice to you.

      3. 3D Wax Worx is not responsible for any harm due to the loss, unauthorised use or unauthorised distribution of a Gift Voucher, after it has delivered the Gift Voucher to you or the email address nominated by you.

    3. Coupons
       

      1. There are two types of Coupons; a Coupon with a fixed amount of a discount, e.g. R100 off (“Fixed Coupon“), and a Coupon with a percentage discount, e.g. 10% off (“Percentage Coupon“).

      2. Coupons are issued in 3D Wax Worx’s sole discretion and we are entitled at any time to correct, cancel or reject a Coupon for any reason (including without limitation where a Coupon has been distributed in an unauthorised manner). Users do not have a right to Coupons, and Coupons cannot be earned. Coupons are issued under specific terms and conditions regulating when and how they may be used.

        6. a Coupon must be used at check-out – it cannot be used later on existing orders; and

        7. 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.

      4. Coupons cannot be used to buy Gift Vouchers or other Coupons, and cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash or credit. 3D Wax Worx is not responsible for any harm due to the loss, unauthorised use, or distribution of a Coupon.

      5. If for any reason a Coupon does not reflect on the final amount due from you at check-out, you can contact us here to confirm if the Coupon is still valid.  If 3D Wax Worx confirms that the Coupon is still valid and you have already placed your order, you can choose whether to cancel the order and place it again with the Coupon, or you can use the Coupon on your next order within the limitations of the specific Coupon’s terms and conditions.
