Stock & Pricing
All goods displayed on our website are subject to availability. If any goods you ordered are not
immediately available or are not available at all, we will let you know as soon as possible.
You acknowledge that stock of all goods on offer is limited and that pricing may change at any time
without notice to you. We will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and to ensure that
when stock is no longer available, it is discontinued on the website, but we cannot guarantee the
availability of stock. If goods are no longer available after you have placed an order, we will notify
you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid by you for such goods.
The stated prices on our website are in South African Rand and are only valid and effective in South
Africa.
We will use our best efforts to accurately display the goods on our website to ensure that what you
receive matches your expectations. Please note that sometimes the way that a product appears can be
dependent on the device that you use to access our website, specifically when it comes to the colour in
an image. We cannot guarantee that the goods you receive, will look exactly as you have seen it online.
We will "price match" any identical article currently advertised and currently available from other
"brick and mortar" retailers. The store manager will simply undertake a telephonic verification and
thereafter match the price. We do not price match other online stores.
If a displayed price contains an inadvertent and obvious error, we are not bound by it after:
Correcting the error in the displayed price; and
Taking reasonable steps to inform affected consumers about the error and the correct price.
No order will be accepted if we identify a material error in the description of any of our goods or
their prices on our website.
Should any item purchased go on special or promotion within one month of the date of purchase, the
customer, on producing a cash sales docket in store, shall be entitled to a refund of the difference
between the original price and the special/promotion.
Gift Vouchers & Coupons
We make physical and electronic gift cards (“Gift Cards”) and promotional coupons or
discounts (“Coupons”) available for use on the website towards the purchase of goods. Gift
Cards and Coupons can only be redeemed while they are valid and their expiry dates cannot be extended.
Gift Cards cannot be used to buy other Gift Cards or Coupons. They do not accrue interest and are not
refundable for cash. If the value of a Gift Card is insufficient for the order you wish to place, you
may make up the difference by paying via one of our other payment methods.
We are not responsible for any harm due to the loss, unauthorised use or unauthorised distribution of a
Gift Card, after it has been delivered to you or the email address nominated by you.
Coupons and Gift Cards cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash or credit.
Coupons are issued at the discretion of Cape Union Mart and we are entitled to correct, cancel or reject
a Coupon for any reason and at any time (including without limitation where a Coupon has been
distributed in an unauthorised manner).
Coupons are issued under specific Terms and Conditions regulating when and how they may be used.
If an error is spotted against any coupon or discount on an order, we may cancel these order(s) after
notifying you.
Orders
We will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the goods to you or allowing you to collect
them, once payment has been received. Only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Cape
Union Mart come into effect. This is regardless of any communication stating that your order or payment
has been confirmed.
Once an agreement of sale is completed, you assume all risk and full responsibility for the goods.
We reserve the right to not process an order or to cancel an existing order (partially or completely) if
there has been an error. Errors include the goods no longer being available, the incorrect price being
displayed, or an inaccurate description of the goods. We will inform you of any errors as soon as we
become aware of them and, as soon as possible thereafter, we will refund you for any amount already
paid.
We will not be liable for any loss or claim relating to a transaction based on any error.
Orders cannot be amended in any way once they have been invoiced, including changes to a delivery
address.
Placing goods in a wishlist or shopping cart without completing payment does not constitute placing an
order, and goods may be removed or updated in the shopping cart if stock is no longer available or the
price has changed. We cannot be held liable if the goods in your shopping cart have been updated when
you complete or attempt to complete the purchase at a later stage.
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.
We reserve the right to refuse orders, cancel any sale, and terminate accounts at the company’s
discretion.
Registered customers are able to view their order history by logging on to their profile on our
website. Both guest and registered customers can track the status of their order by selecting the
‘Track my Order’ link in the website footer, and entering their full order number and email
address.
Orders may only be cancelled up to the point that they have been invoiced by Cape Union Mart. After this
the order will need to be delivered and processed as a return, if no longer required.
Payment
You consent to our use of the services of reputable and secure third party payment service providers in
order to process financial transactions and acknowledge that doing so necessitates the disclosure of
your payment information when you make a purchase.

have provided.
If you are unable to accept the goods yourself, please ensure that an authorised representative is
available at the delivery address. If anyone other than you takes delivery of the goods at the delivery
address, they are presumed to be authorised to accept the goods on your behalf.
If no one is at the delivery address to accept delivery, we will contact you to arrange an alternative
time. If we are unable to deliver the goods to you after three attempts, or should we deem it
appropriate under the circumstances, we reserve the right to cancel your order, deduct charges we have
incurred for failed deliveries or additional storage, and refund the balance due to you.
If you do not collect your Click & Collect order from the store after being reminded three times, or
should we deem it appropriate under the circumstances, we reserve the right to cancel your order, return

You must ensure that we can access the place of delivery, and that the location is cleared for the goods
to be delivered.

Rewards Points
Once your points have converted to a voucher, you have 3 (three) months to use your voucher before
it expires.
Vouchers can be redeemed with a minimum spend of R200.
You are limited to using 5 (five) Rewards Vouchers in a single transaction.
All vouchers are linked to a member profile; therefore, they are not transferable and can only be
used by the member they were issued to.
Although there are general voucher guidelines, it is important to note that each voucher may be
subject to specific terms of use.
Vouchers cannot be exchanged for cash.
Voucher discounts cannot be used against the following purchases (these items are therefore excluded
from voucher discounts and/or thresholds): garment repairs, non-merchandise items (e.g. gift
wrapping services or shopping bags), RCS account payments, lay-by purchases, gift card purchases and
selected electronic items.
From time to time we will send you additional vouchers for specific items and/or product categories.
These vouchers will clearly state what they are valid for, the discount value and validity period.
We may at any time introduce additional vouchers to reward our members. Please note that these will
be subject to additional terms of use.
Voucher discounts that may apply are percentage off (%) the recommended selling price of an item,
Rand value off the selling price of an item, or a new price stated which will replace the marked
price on the item when the voucher is presented.
For points or voucher queries, please contact the Customer Service team. Vouchers or loyalty
points used during a purchase may be reinstated in the following circumstances:
Order Cancellation or Non-Fulfilment: If your order is cancelled or cannot be fulfilled in full,
any vouchers or points used will be eligible to be reinstated.
Partial Fulfilment of Online Orders: If part of your online order cannot be fulfilled due to
stock availability (e.g. an item is out of stock at the time of packing), the portion of the
voucher or points applied to the unavailable item(s) may be reinstated.
Missing Loyalty Points: If loyalty points were not awarded on a qualifying purchase, and you
were a registered Rewards member at the time of the transaction, the applicable points based on
the purchase value may be reinstated. A valid proof of purchase (such as a till slip or order
confirmation) will be required for review.
Vouchers or points will not be reinstated where a product is exchanged for a different item. Points
may be added or deducted on exchanges depending on the value of the replacement item.
All reinstatement requests are subject to verification and approval When a voucher purchase is
refunded, you will only receive a refund for the value that you paid and not the discount value of
the voucher.
Should you only return a purchase in full or in part, the discount value of a voucher will be split
across all the items in the purchase. Note that there are instances where this can result in a
negative points balance. In the event of a negative points balance because of Reward Vouchers you
have already received, points earned on your next purchases will first be allocated to this negative
balance.
