We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, photographs, specifications, prices and other product information displayed on our website are accurate and up to date.

However, certain product information may be provided by manufacturers, suppliers or authorised distributors.

Product images are intended to represent the relevant product. Actual product appearance may vary slightly due to lighting, photography, display settings, packaging updates or manufacturer revisions.

Customers should review product specifications and descriptions carefully before placing an order.

Where a material error or discrepancy is identified, we will take reasonable steps to correct the information and communicate with affected customers where necessary.

Nothing in this section excludes a customer's rights relating to misleading descriptions, incorrect products or goods that do not comply with applicable consumer protection legislation.

6. Pricing and Currency

All prices displayed on our website are stated in South African Rand (ZAR), unless expressly indicated otherwise.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product prices are accurate and current.

Prices may change from time to time. However, a price change will not automatically alter the price of an order that has already been accepted.

When placing an order, customers must provide accurate information, including:

• Full name.

Where we cannot fulfil an order, we will notify the customer and arrange an appropriate resolution.

8. Payment Terms

Payments must be completed through the payment methods made available during checkout.

Accepted payment methods may include bank cards, electronic payment methods or other supported payment services, depending on the payment facilities available at the time of purchase.

An order may not be processed until payment has been successfully authorised or confirmed.

DC Kitchen Store does not intentionally collect or store full payment card credentials through ordinary customer communication channels.

11. Order Cancellation

Customers who wish to cancel an order should contact DC Kitchen Store as soon as possible.

13. Product Warranties and Consumer Rights

Products may be supplied with a manufacturer's warranty, depending on the product and manufacturer.

Manufacturer warranty terms may differ according to the product category.

In addition to any manufacturer's warranty, qualifying products are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008.

13.1 Six-Month Implied Warranty

Under section 56 of the Consumer Protection Act, qualifying goods carry an implied warranty of quality for six months after delivery.

At the consumer's direction, the applicable remedy may include:

• Repair.

• Replacement.

• Refund.

Additional rights may apply where a repaired product develops a further qualifying failure within three months after repair.
