  5. Conclusion of sales and availability of stock
    1. 5.1 Registered users may place orders for Goods, which Holistix or the Third Party Seller may accept or reject. Whether or not Holistix or the Third Party Seller 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 Holistix for the Goods.
    2. 5.2 NOTE: Holistix (PTY)) LTD Trading as Holistix or the Third Party Seller will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods to you and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Holistix (PTY)) LTD Trading as Holistix or the Third Party Seller come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Holistix (PTY)) LTD Trading as Holistix stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Holistix (PTY)) LTD Trading as Holistix will indicate the rejection of your order (by Holistix (PTY)) LTD Trading as Holistix itself or the Third Party Seller) by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
    3. 5.3 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 cancel the Sale only in accordance with the Returns Policy.
    4. 5.4 Placing Goods in a 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. You cannot hold Holistix or the Third Party Seller liable if such Goods are not available when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.
    5. 5.5 You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited. In the case of Goods for sale by Holistix, Holistix 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 placing an order, Holistix will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid by you for such Goods.
    6. 5.6 In the case of Goods for sale by a Third Party Seller, Holistix relies on inventory information supplied by the relevant Third Party Seller and Holistix accordingly bears no liability for any inaccuracies in the information supplied to it. Consequently, should you order any Goods from a Third Party Seller which are in fact sold-out, any resulting dispute should be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Seller, your respective rights and obligations being as set out in these Terms and Conditions.
  6. Payment
    1. 6.1 We are committed to providing secure online payment facilities. All transactions are encrypted using appropriate encryption technology.
    2. 6.2 Whether the Goods are for sale by Holistix or a Third Party Seller, payment can be made for Goods via -
      1. 6.2.1 debit card;
      2. 6.2.2 credit card: where payment is made by credit card, we may require additional information in order to authorise and/or verify the validity of payment. In such cases we reserve the right 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 credit card supplied for purposes of paying the Goods. You also warrant that your credit card has sufficient available funds to cover all the costs incurred as a result of the services used on the Website;
      3. 6.2.3 direct bank deposit or electronic funds transfer: if you pay via direct bank deposit or electronic funds transfer, payment must be made within 5 (five) days of placing your order. Holistix will not accept your order if payment has not been received;
      4. 6.2.4 Instant EFT
      5. 6.2.5 We regret no American Express, Diners Club International and Discover Network cards

    4. 6.4 Once you have selected your payment method and you accept these Terms and Conditions, you will be directed to a link to a secure site for payment of the applicable purchase price for the Goods.
  7. Delivery of goods
    1. 7.1 Please refer to our Delivery Policy for more information about delivery, and about. The Delivery Policy is incorporated by reference (which means that it forms part of these Terms and Conditions).
  8. Errors
    1. 8.1 We shall take all reasonable efforts to accurately reflect the description, availability, purchase price and delivery charges of Goods on the Website. However, should there be any errors of whatsoever nature on the Website (which are not due to our gross negligence), we shall not be liable for any loss, claim or expense relating to a transaction based on any error, save – in the case of any incorrect purchase price – to the extent of refunding you for any amount already paid, or otherwise as set out in the Returns Policy.
  9. Third Party Sellers
    1. 9.1 Holistix will indicate on relevant product pages and checkout pages when Goods are for sale by a Third Party Seller. In such cases Holistix only provides the platform to facilitate transactions between Third Party Sellers and Holistix customers. Holistix is neither the buyer nor the seller of these items unless otherwise specified.
    2. 9.2 The sale formed on acceptance of your order for Goods that are for sale by a Third Party Seller is therefore solely between the registered user and such Third Party Seller. Holistix is not a party to that sale.
    3. 9.3 The Third Party Seller is solely responsible for fulfilment of delivery of the Goods. The Third Party Seller is also responsible to provide an invoice to the registered user if required. Because Holistix wants the registered user to have a safe and consistent experience, Holistix will handle any returns under the CPA or the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 2002 (“ECT Act”), by the registered user arising out of or in connection with the Sale between a registered user and a Third Party Seller on behalf of the Third Party Seller according to Holistix own Returns Policy. Should such claim escalate into being a dispute, although Holistix reserves the right to become involved in an attempt to resolve it, Holistix is not obliged to do so and any disputes must be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Seller alone.
