3. Shop

3.1. Buying products

The site allows you, the user, to place electronic orders (“order”) for one or more products on offer as long as such products are available and not sold out.

A purchasing contract (“sale”) between you and Silverlab only comes into effect once you have fully completed AND submitted the online order form for one or more products in your basket (“shopping cart”) AND your payment has been authorised by Silverlab (or has been received into Silverlab’ bank account).

The above is dependent on the product being available.

Products on Silverlab cannot be reserved to be bought at a later stage, and placing an item in your basket without completing the order, does not amount to a sale or an order.

This means that Silverlab may remove any item from your basket before the sale actually takes place in the event of the product going out of stock.

Silverlab cannot be held responsible if an order has become unavailable by the time you try to complete a purchase at a later stage.

The invoice for your purchase will be available online in the “My Account” section on the site.

A copy of this invoice will be included in your parcel as well.

3.2. Cancelling & Ending Orders

Silverlab reserves the right to refuse processing of payment for any order and/or to cancel any purchase, partially or completely, with notice given to you.

Silverlab will be liable for reimbursing you the Rand value paid only if you have already paid for the cancelled order.

You have the right to return item(s) purchased (see Silverlab’ Delivery Policy and Returns Policy for more information).

4. Product Pricing

4.1. Product Pricing

The price of each product is given on the product’s page. This is only applicable to the Online Shop.

4.2. The Regular Retail Price

The Regular Retail Price (“RRP”) is the standard price that Silverlab charges for the product.

When a product is not on sale, or included in a discount promotion, the RRP is the price you will pay when you purchase the product (“purchase price”).

Please note that RRPs can change over the course of several seasons over which the product may be sold. The RRPs applicable at the time the product is introduced may differ from the RRP at the time of your purchase.

4.3. The Discounted Price

When Silverlab is having a sale, or is running a discount centric promotion on specific products on the site – the discount price is shown on the product’s product page, as well as the Regular Retail Price (“RRP”). The discount price will be shown in blue and the RRP will be shown alongside it – but will be crossed out.

When a discount price is shown on the product page, the discount price is the price you will pay when you add the product to your cart at the discounted price, and conclude the sale at the discounted price i.e. the purchase price.

4.4. Pricing Accuracy

Every reasonable effort will be made to ensure that the RRP and, if applicable, the discount price of all products on Silverlab are correct at the time of your purchase. If, however, the product is offered at an erroneous price, Silverlab will not be obliged to supply the said product at the incorrect price.

Silverlab will only be liable to return payment already made by you in the case you choose to cancel the sale once you have been made aware of the correct price.

If you don’t contact the Silverlab call centre within 5 working days of the courier attempting the second delivery, the courier will return the parcel to Silverlab, and we will contact you via email to discuss potential re-delivery at your own cost.

It is your responsibility, as buyer, to ensure that you or the intended receiver of the gift (when applicable) inspect(s) the parcel on arrival and makes known any justifiable complaints or breakages.

Given expiry dates cannot be moved.

8.2. Newsletter Sign-up Voucher

Use of Newsletter Voucher

Current Silverlab customers do not have the right to newsletter vouchers and cannot earn them.

The R100 Silverlab newsletter voucher is issued once when the subscriber signs up to any of Silverlab’s Newsletters for the first time.

Signing up to a second or third Silverlab newsletter, with the same email address, does not qualify for another R100 newsletter voucher.

Signing up to a second or third Silverlab newsletter, with the same delivery address, does not qualify for another R100 newsletter voucher.

The R100 newsletter voucher can only be used once per Silverlab account holder.

The R100 newsletter voucher cannot be used in conjunction with any other Silverlab offers or promotional vouchers.

Basket Size

The R100 Silverlab newsletter voucher can only be redeemed against basket sizes to the value of R500 or more.

Basket size after the newsletter voucher has been applied must exceed R3,000 to qualify for free delivery.

Validity

The voucher is only valid for items in the online shop. The voucher is not valid against items on sale.

How To Claim Your R100 Newsletter Voucher

The user completes the newsletter submission form, whereupon he/she receives a welcome email with an electronic voucher code.

In order to claim the R100 voucher, the subscriber must visit htpps://Silverlab.co.za and add items on Silverlab’s online shop to the value of R500 or more to his/her cart.

Newsletter vouchers which have passed their expiry date, will not be reinstated.
