B. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

The following terms and conditions will apply to Products acquired by the Customer from Abloc directly or via the Website:

1. Products – The Products that are offered for sale are advertised on the Website; these may include Display Units, which will be clearly marked as such on the Website;
2. First come first served – It may happen that a Product that is displayed on the Website for sale, has been sold recently, but that it has not yet been removed from the Website: the principle of first come first served will apply;
3. Pricing & VAT – The price of every Product will be indicated next to it on the Website; Abloc may change these prices from time to time in its sole discretion without prior notice; Abloc is registered for VAT and prices reflected on this Website are inclusive of VAT.
4. Placing of orders – Once a Customer has selected the Product which it wishes to purchase, he/she has to submit his/her order via the Website. The system will request the Customer to review the entire transaction and correct any mistakes. Thereafter the Customer may elect to withdraw from or proceed with the transaction. By clicking on the “purchase” or similar “final submit” button, the Customer will be deemed to have irrevocably submitted an offer to purchase the selected product/s (“Order”) and the Order cannot be withdrawn.
5. Processing, acceptance and confirmation of Orders – Every Order will be subject to Abloc’s normal approval processes and procedures. It reserves the right to withhold acceptance and confirmation at its sole discretion. Abloc reserves the right to verify the identity of any purchaser or the payment method used. The Customer may be required to, inter alia, send a copy of his identity document, proof of residence, and a copy of the front and back of the credit card to be used, as well as proof of payment to Abloc’s satisfaction. Failure to do so may result in Abloc not confirming or cancelling the order. Abloc will use its best endeavours to supply or source the requested Product. It can unfortunately not guarantee the availability of any Product, inter alia for the reason set out in 2 above (first come first served). Abloc reserves the right to decline any product request. Once Abloc has accepted the Order, it will confirm the Order to the Customer. Although the Website is set up to confirm Orders, technical or other problems may at times delay or prevent such confirmation. Customers should refrain from resending an Order if a confirmation is not received within a reasonable period of time, as this will lead to a second transaction for which the Customer will be held liable. Enquiries in respect of outstanding confirmations should be addressed to support@abloc.co.za
6. Performance – All orders shall normally be executed within the following estimated timeframe: Local stock: 4-5 business days from the day the Order has been confirmed by Abloc; International stock: 7-10 business days from the day the Order has been confirmed by Abloc. Abloc shall notify the Customer should any Product be unavailable for any reason whatever. For information on guarantees applicable to products purchased by you, please see BMC’s Warranty regulations. The display of Products on the Website does not necessarily mean that a product is available.
7. Payment – Upon confirmation and acceptance of the Order, payment has to be made before the Order will be executed. Payment could be made by electronic funds transfer to Abloc’s account, or via Abloc’s online payment gateway.
8. Execution of orders – Orders will only be executed after proof of payment via a reputable bank has been received by Abloc and the funds have been cleared and are reflected in Abloc’s bank account, or confirmation has been received by Abloc’s online payment gateway.
9. Reservation of ownership – The Products will remain the property of Abloc until full payment has been received.
10. Cooling off – If a Customer qualifies as a “consumer” in terms of the ECT Act, he/she may enjoy certain cooling-off rights in terms of which he/she can cancel any transaction for the supply of goods within 7 (seven) days after the date of receipt of the goods, or services within 7 (seven) days after the date of conclusion of the Agreement, without reason or penalty.
11. Refunds and returns – Please refer to the refunds & returns policy in section C
12. Incorrect orders – Should a Customer erroneously place an incorrect order, such order cannot be cancelled. Should a Customer place a correct order which is executed, and the client subsequently alleges that the Product does not fit or meet his requirements, the order cannot be cancelled.
13. Assembly – Bicycles are normally imported in dis-assembled format. Bicycles will be assembled locally by a trained technician. They will then be partially dis-assembled and re-boxed for delivery to the Customer, unless otherwise instructed.
14. Packing, delivery and risk in transit – Abloc will pack the Products for transportation and delivery to the Customer and will arrange for freight and insurance to such destination. The risk in the Products during transfer shall be Abloc’s until arrival at the destination and Abloc shall bear any customs duties and taxes that may be levied by reason of importation.
15. Local freight charges – Abloc will bear the local freight charges per bicycle, frameset to be shipped by Abloc to the Customer.
16. Airfreight – Should Abloc not have a Product in stock locally, the Customer will be requested to indicate whether it wants the Product sourced from abroad. If so, the Customer will place an order and bear the airfreight costs incurred in the process if the price of the bicycle (including VAT) is less than R100 000. Abloc will bear all international freight charges on a bicycle with a selling price of R100 000 or more (including VAT).
17. Transport damage and incorrect deliveries – Transport damage and incorrect deliveries must be reported to Abloc in writing within 48 hours of delivery, otherwise Abloc will accept no liability (also see the Warranty Regulations in this regard).
18. Ability and speed of delivery – Abloc shall use its best endeavours to supply the Products ordered as soon as possible after confirmation of the order, in so far as it is not prevented or hindered by limitations of availability, production hold-ups, strikes and the like. Shipping dates and estimates of time of arrival will be the best estimates available or known to Abloc but shall not be of the essence to the shipment. Should the Customer require express delivery, express delivery costs (locally and internationally) will be borne by the Customer.
19. Warranties – BMC products are supplied subject to the BMC Warranty Regulations. The process to be followed by a Customer to exercise his rights in terms of a BMC warranty, is set out on the Website. Non BMC-products may be subject to warranties of the respective manufacturers. It is the Customer’s responsibility to familiarise himself with the warranty regulations applicable to every product purchased form Abloc. BMC bicycles sold in terms of special sales promotions during 2020 and thereafter are sold on a “voetstoots” (as is) basis in all other respects.

C. REFUNDS AND RETURNS

1. If you have effected payment prior to exercising your right to return the products, Abloc will refund you the full purchase price thereof, less any direct costs incurred by Abloc in returning such goods.
2. Unused items may be returned in the original packaging within 14 days of delivery with receipt or proof of purchase as well as reasons for the return. Thereafter Abloc cannot offer any refund or an exchange.
