Conclusion of sales and availability of stock

Website users may place orders for Plazma Products, which Plazma South Africa may accept or reject. Whether or not Plazma South Africa accepts an order depends on the availability of Plazma Products, the correctness of the information relating to the Plazma products (including without limitation the price) and receipt of payment or payment authorisation by Pay Gate for the Plazma Products. NOTE: Plazma South Africa will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Plazma products to you or allowing you to collect them, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Plazma South Africa or the Third Party Seller come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Plazma South Africa stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Plazma South Africa will indicate the rejection of your order by canceling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.

Prior to delivery or your collection of the Plazma Products, you may cancel an order at any time provided you do so before receiving a dispatch or delivery notice.
