These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Teapot Publishing website and the purchase of any products or services from us. By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our website.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa and are to be read in conjunction with the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA), the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 (ECTA), and the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA).
By placing an order on our website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or have the consent of a parent or guardian. If you are purchasing on behalf of a minor, you accept full responsibility for the transaction.
All prices are displayed in South African Rand (ZAR) and include Value Added Tax (VAT) at the prevailing rate, unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to change prices at any time without prior notice; however, any price changes will not affect orders already confirmed.
We make every effort to display accurate product descriptions, images, and pricing. In the event of an error, we reserve the right to correct the error and cancel or amend your order accordingly.
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Your order is subject to acceptance by Teapot Publishing. We will confirm receipt of your order by email; however, this does not constitute acceptance. A contract is formed only when we dispatch the product and send a dispatch confirmation.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order for reasons including but not limited to: product unavailability, errors in pricing or description, or suspicion of fraudulent activity.
Payment is required at the time of order placement. We accept payment via the methods displayed at checkout. All payments are processed securely through our third-party payment gateway.
You warrant that the payment details provided are accurate and that you are authorised to use the selected payment method.
Delivery times are estimates and not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to courier delays, customs clearance, or force majeure events.
Risk in the Products passes to you upon delivery. Ownership passes upon full payment.
