Conclusion of sales and availability of stock
- Registered users may place orders for Goods, which Crystal Clawz may accept or reject. Whether or not Crystal Clawz 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 Crystal Clawz for the Goods.
- NOTE: Crystal Clawz 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 Crystal Clawz or the Third Party Seller come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Crystal Clawz stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Crystal Clawz will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid within 3 (three) business days.
- 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 wishlist or shopping basket without completing payment 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 Crystal Clawz 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. In the case of Goods for sale by Crystal Clawz, Crystal Clawz 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, Crystal Clawz will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid by you for such Goods.

Errors
- 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.
- Crystal Clawz shall not be bound by any incorrect information regarding our Goods displayed on any third party websites.
-
Gift Vouchers & Coupons
- Crystal Clawz may from time to time make physical or electronic gift vouchers (“Gift Vouchers”) and promotional coupons or discounts (“Coupons”) available for use on the Website towards the purchase of Crystal Clawz Goods. Gift Vouchers and Coupons can only be redeemed while they are valid and their expiry dates cannot be extended. More specifically:
-
Gift Vouchers
- Gift Vouchers that are purchased by registered users are valid for 12 months after Sale. Gift Vouchers that Crystal Clawz gives away for free are valid for the period stated thereon. In each case, if your Voucher has not been used within that period, it will expire.
- Gift Vouchers cannot be used to buy other Gift Vouchers or Coupons. They do not accrue interest and are not refundable for cash once purchased or otherwise obtained. If your Gift Voucher value is less than the amount required to cover the full order you wish to place, you may make up the difference by paying via one of our other payment methods.
- Crystal Clawz is not responsible for any harm due to the loss, unauthorised use or unauthorised distribution of a Gift Voucher, after it has delivered the Gift Voucher to you or the email address nominated by you.
-
Coupons
- There are two types of Coupons; a Coupon with a fixed amount of a discount, e.g. R100 off (“FixedCoupon“), and a Coupon with a percentage discount, e.g. 10% off (“Percentage Coupon“).
- Coupons are issued in Crystal Clawz’s sole discretion and we are entitled at any time to correct, cancel or reject a Coupon for any reason (including without limitation where a Coupon has been distributed in an unauthorised manner). Users do not have a right to Coupons, and Coupons cannot be earned. Coupons are issued under specific terms and conditions regulating when and how they may be used.
- As a general rule, and unless specified otherwise on the specific Coupon itself:
- each Coupon can only be used once;
- only one Coupon can be used per order;
- only one Coupon can be used on the Website per person per promotion/campaign;
- where a Percentage Coupon has been used and you wish to cancel any items in the order prior to making payment, the entire order must be cancelled. You will be issued with a new Percentage Coupon and will need to place the order again, without the item that you wished to cancel;
- a Coupon must be used at check-out – it cannot be used later on existing orders; and
- the value of the Coupon will be set off against the value of your shopping basket and the balance remaining, if any, will be payable by you.
- Coupons cannot be used to buy Gift Vouchers or other Coupons, and cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash or credit. Crystal Clawz is not responsible for any harm due to the loss, unauthorised use or distribution of a Coupon.
- If for any reason a Coupon does not reflect on the final amount due from you at check-out, you can contact us info@crystalclawz.co.za to confirm if the Coupon is still valid. If Crystal Clawz confirms that the Coupon is still valid and you have already placed your order, you can choose whether to cancel the order and place it again with the Coupon, or you can use the Coupon on your next order within the limitations of the specific Coupon’s terms and conditions.
- You may be required to submit the original communication containing the Coupon code, and any other information reasonably requested by Crystal Clawz, before you are able to use a Coupon.
-
Special Offers and other discounted Goods
- From time to time, we may offer certain Goods at discounted prices as part of a Special Offer, App Only Deal, Bundle Deal or any other temporary deal which are explained below (each a “Deal”). These will be subject to certain conditions (as set out in these Terms and/or the Website), which define the scope of the Deal. If you buy a product within the scopeof a Deal, you will pay the discounted price for that product (the “Deal Price”).
- However, if you buy a product in a manner that fallsoutside of the scope of a Deal, then you will pay the then current (non-Deal) selling price on the Website (the “Normal Price”), for each product that falls outside the scope of the Deal.
- For example: if you buy more than one product in a Special Deal, you will pay the Deal Price for the first product, but the Normal Price for all products thereafter. Alternatively, if you buy a product in combination with any other products that together do not constitute a Bundle Deal, you will pay the Normal Price for all such products falling outside the scope of the relevant Deal.
-
Special Offers
- At our discretion, Special Offers (“Offers”) are for limited times. In addition, please note that Special Offers have a stock limit and may expire earlier if stock runs out.
- Special Offers quantities are limited and as such, after a Special Offer is sold out, those particular Goods may be available on the Website at their normal selling prices (but no longer as a Special Offer).
- We do not guarantee a specific saving. The extent of the Special Offer or discount is at the sole discretion of Crystal Clawz.
- Only one of each Special Offer may be purchased per customer.
- Adding a Special Offer to your cart, or completing your order for a Special Offer without paying for it, does not reserve the item for you. Crystal Clawz must receive payment from you within 24 hours of you placing your order for a Special Offer, otherwise we will cancel your order.
- Crystal Clawz will reserve stock for customers in the order in which it receives payment. Therefore if you pay via EFT, you might not get your item because Crystal Clawz may only receive payment from you a few days later, and in the meantime the Special Offer might sell out to customers paying immediately.
- The List Price shown in respect of Special Offers and other discounted Goods is the recommended retail price of the relevant product.
- By purchasing any Special Offer, you are also automatically opting in for our Special Offers newsletter as well as our general newsletter (you may opt-out of these newsletters at any time). Opting out of these newsletters after purchase will not affect the value of the Goods purchased.
-
Bundle Deals
- We may from time to time offer bundle deals for sale under the Bundle Deals tab on the Website (“Kits & Sets“). Each Bundle Deal will consist of two or more products that either we or you (as provided on the Website) have combined together in a single bundle.
- Any saving or discount resulting from purchasing a Bundle Deal instead of its component products separately may be applied to any of the component products individually in our sole discretion.
