You will need to use your unique username and password to access the Website in order to purchase Goods.

You agree and warrant that your username and password shall:

  1. be used for personal use only; and
  2. not be disclosed by you to any third party.

For security purposes you agree to enter the correct username and password whenever ordering Goods, failing which you will be denied access.

You agree to notify PRESTIGE immediately upon becoming aware of or reasonably suspecting any unauthorised access to or use of your username and password and to take steps to mitigate any resultant loss or harm.

Conclusion of sales and availability of stock

Registered users may place orders for Goods, which PRESTIGE may accept or reject. 

Whether or not PRESTIGE 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 PRESTIGE for the Goods.

NOTE: PRESTIGE 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 PRESTIGE come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from PRESTIGE stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. PRESTIGE will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.

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. After delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may return the Goods only in accordance with the Returns Policy.

Placing Goods in a cart 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. You cannot hold PRESTIGE liable if such Goods are not available or are not available at the particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.

You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited and that pricing may change at any time without notice to you. PRESTIGE will take all reasonable efforts 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, PRESTIGE will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid by you for such Goods. 

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.

Payment

We are committed to providing secure online payment facilities. All transactions are encrypted using appropriate encryption technology.

Payment may be made for Goods via the following methods (depending on its availability and/or your eligibility to use such a method) –

  • debit / credit card; where payment is made by debit/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 by us for the amounts. If we do not receive authorisation your order for the Goods will be cancelled. You warrant that you are fully authorised to use the debit / credit card supplied for purposes of paying the Goods. You also warrant that your debit / credit card has sufficient available funds to cover all the costs incurred as a result of the services used on the Website;

Direct bank deposit or electronic funds transfer: if you pay via direct bank deposit or electronic funds transfer, payment must be made within 24 HOURS of placing your order. PRESTIGE will not accept your order if payment has not been received.

Delivery of goods

PRESTIGE offers 2 (two) methods of delivery of Goods to you. You may elect delivery via:

  • courier; or
  • self-collection.

Our delivery charges are subject to change at any time, without prior notice to you, so please check the applicable delivery charges in your cart when you check out.

Where it accepts your order, PRESTIGE will deliver the goods to you as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than 30 (thirty) days of receipt of your payment (“Delivery Period”). We will notify you if we are unable to deliver the Goods during the Delivery Period. You may then, within 7 (seven) days of receiving such notification elect whether or not to cancel your order for the Goods. If you elect to cancel your order, we will reimburse you for the purchase price. PRESTIGE’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. PRESTIGE is not responsible for any loss or unauthorised use of a product, after it has delivered the product to the physical address nominated by you.
