You promise that you have the legal capacity to enter into the transaction.
4.2. Invitation to do business
The marketing of the goods by us is merely an invitation to do business or for you to make an offer to procure goods. The parties only conclude a valid and binding order when we accept the offer made by you. Unless otherwise agreed in writing or we accept an offer earlier, we only accept an offer relating to goods, when we dispatch the goods. If we only ship part of the goods relating to an offer, we only accept that portion of the offer. We may accept or reject any offer. If we do not accept any offer, then we will refund any monies already paid by you.
We only conclude an agreement when we dispatch our goods to you.
4.3. Cancel
Unless otherwise agreed, we may cancel any order at any time in our absolute discretion. We will refund any monies already paid by you if we do.

4.5. Time and place
The parties conclude any agreement between each other at the time when our duly authorised representative accepts the relevant offer and at the place where you have your head office. We do not need to communicate the acceptance of the offer to you.
We conclude an agreement where you are domiciled.
4.6. Orders
The terms in effect at the time you make an offer will govern the order. Each order will create a separate agreement. Despite that, we may consider the breach of any one order to constitute a breach of any or all orders.
Each order is a separate agreement, but you breach all of them if you breach one.
4.7. Availability
We may not always have the goods on which you make offers in stock. If the goods are not in stock, you may cancel the offer or make another offer on the part of the goods that are in stock.
5. Goods
5.1. Sale
We sell the goods to you who purchases them on the terms of the agreement.
We sell the goods to you on the following basis.
5.2. Countries

5.3. Delivery and packaging
Unless otherwise agreed in an order the goods will be supplied on the following basis:
- we will pack the goods in accordance with our packaging specifications for the goods;
- in the absence of any packing specifications, we will package the goods suitably to ensure that damage in transit does not occur due to incorrect packaging;
- the fees will exclude the cost of packaging;
- unless otherwise agreed in writing, we will select the specific mode of delivery for the goods; and
- the delivery costs will be for your account.
You will bear the cost and we will choose the way of packaging and delivering the goods unless agreed otherwise.
5.4. Time until dispatch
Once we receive an offer, we will endeavour to dispatch the goods as soon as reasonably practicable (which may be longer than 30 calendar days) to the address specified in the offer. We will try to adhere to the estimated delivery dates but accept no liability for failing to do so. You may not withdraw any offer due to a delay in delivery.
We will do our best to dispatch the goods as soon as possible after you have placed an order, but we are not liable and you may not cancel an order if we do not do so timeously.
5.5. Risk and ownership
All risk of loss or damage to the goods will pass to you upon physical delivery of the goods to your delivery address. Ownership in the goods will only pass to you upon full payment of the fees.
Risks related to the goods pass to you on delivery, but ownership in the goods only passes to you on payment of the fees in full.
5.6. Warranty
The goods will be subject to any warranty indicated in the description of the goods appearing on the accompanying documentation or packaging. Please review those documents carefully. You will have the same rights against us as we have against the supplier regards defects in the goods, the intention being that our liability to you will be co-extensive with the right of recourse we have against the supplier. We will provide a copy of any warranty on request. To the extent legally possible, we assign to you the benefit of any supplier warranties that a supplier may give to us regards the goods. You may not waive any of our common law rights as against the supplier.
You have the same rights against us as we have against our suppliers in terms of any warranty attached to the goods or imposed by law.

18. Resolving disputes

There will be a dispute about or from this agreement if a party writes to the other about it and asks for it to be resolved under this clause. The parties must refer any dispute to be resolved by:

- mediation (talks in which a neutral third party tries to help the parties agree how to end the dispute); failing which
- arbitration (a hearing after which a neutral third party makes a binding decision about the dispute).
We want to avoid disputes about this agreement and resolve them as quickly as possible. But if there is one, either party may inform the other of it in writing. The parties must first try to negotiate to end the dispute, then enter into mediation if negotiation fails, and finally go to arbitration if mediation fails.

The arbitration will be held in English in Johannesburg, Cape Town, or Durban (whichever city is closest to our head office at the time). The parties will agree and appoint one arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree on the arbitrator within 10 business days after the referral, the Secretariat of AFSA will appoint the arbitrator.

The parties may agree otherwise in an order.
18.6. Periods
The parties may agree in writing to change the periods for negotiation or mediation.
