6. Conclusion of sales and availability of stock.

Registered users may place orders for Goods, which Würth South Africa may accept or reject. Whether or not Würth 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 Würth for the Goods.

NOTE: Würth 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 Würth come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Würth stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Würth will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.

Prior to delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may cancel an order before receiving the dispatch notice (usually same day after 4pm). After delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may return the Goods only in accordance with the Returns Policy.

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 Würth, we 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, we will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid by you for such Goods.

Certain Goods may not be purchased for re-sale. Should we suspect that any such Goods are being purchased for sale, we are entitled to cancel your order immediately on notice to you.
