PRODUCTS AND ORDERING

Once you have checked out you will not be able to make any changes to your order so please make sure that everything is correct and that you are aware of these Ts&Cs before you do so.

All photography is for illustrative purposes only and specific styles are not necessarily stocked. Please note that stocks of all Products on offer are limited. We shall take all reasonable efforts to ensure that when stock is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued. However, should we be unable to fulfil any Order placed by you due to stock having sold out, we will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid by you for such Product, as explained in more detail in the Returns Policy.

We have taken great care to ensure that the Products on This Site are presented to you as accurately as possible. However, the colour clarity of Products will depend upon the system you are using to view This Site, therefore we are not able to guarantee that the colour of the actual Product is 100% accurate.

All sizes and measurements are approximate, although we do make every effort to ensure they are as accurate as possible. Unless otherwise stated, sizes indicated are SA sizes.

We will take all reasonable efforts to accurately indicate purchase prices and delivery charges. However, should Products be erroneously offered at incorrect purchase prices and/or delivery charges, we will not be obliged to sell Products at such incorrect purchase prices and/or delivery charges. We shall only be liable to refund monies paid should you not wish to proceed with the Purchase at the correct purchase price and/or delivery charge.

We will contact you promptly if there are any problems with your order.

We reserve the right to refuse an Order. We will notify you if this is the case and return any payment that you have made, and accept no liability which may arise as a result of such refusal to process any Order.

Our acceptance of your order is completed when we have received payment for the products you wish to purchase and we have emailed you a confirmation of order, payment and dispatch.

GIFTS

Please email us at online@beachandbeyond.co.za if you require any special treatment of your package as a gift such as, removing the invoice, including a gift card and message, using particular wrapping, etc.


Should you wish to purchase a Product as a gift for someone else, you are able to specify an alternative shipping address as part of the checkout process.

If you are not a registered customer we will include an invoice with the Product when delivered. Registered customers have all their Order history available online in the “My Account” section of their Account so we do not normally include one with your product.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

Paying by Credit Card

We accept Visa and MasterCard credit card payments.

At the time of placing the Order, the transaction details are presented to the bank and an authorisation is obtained for the amount of the Order. If authorisation is obtained, payment is usually immediate. If such authorisation is not obtained, the Order will be cancelled.

You warrant that you are fully authorised to use the credit card supplied for purposes of paying for your Order. Also, you warrant that this credit card has sufficient available funds to cover all of the costs incurred as a result of placing your Order.

Paying by Instant EFT

Instant EFT is a method of completing online purchases by making an internet banking transfer (EFT) which gets instantly verified.

You don’t need to send in proof of payment and it can be used with South Africa’s four biggest banks: ABSA, FNB, Nedbank and Standard Bank.

Customers do not need to install any special software. Transactions can be made on PCs, Macs and most mobile devices (such as Blackberry, iPhone, iPad, Android etc.).

 
DELIVERY

Orders are only delivered to physical address in South Africa, no PO Box addresses are allowed.

For deliveries to physical addresses outside the borders of South Africa, at our sole discretion we will consider requests sent to us by email to online@beachandbeyond.co.za. We will inform you by return email of our decision regarding your request and such decision may be to request certain further information from you in advance or to decline your request.

Each delivery is deemed to have been made once the Product has been handed over to an individual at your chosen delivery address by the courier, as recorded in the tracking system used by the courier.

We always aim to deliver any Order which we accept in perfect condition and as quickly as possible but we cannot guarantee any firm delivery dates. Deliveries are done on Monday to Friday between 8am and 5pm.

Products will be delivered to the delivery address specified by you during the Order process. If nobody is at the address when the delivery is made, the courier may contact the phone number you provided and/or a notice of attempted delivery may be put in the letterbox. The courier may attempt re-delivery one more time thereafter. If delivery is unsuccessful, it will be your responsibility to contact the courier company to either arrange that you collect the package from the courier’s nearest depot or to agree upon a new delivery date with the courier. If you have not contacted the courier within a reasonable time, then we will arrange for the package to be sent back to us. We will then contact you by email to arrange a possible re-delivery at your expense. If attempted contact is unsuccessful, or you are unwilling to accept the redelivery costs we quote you, within a reasonable period of time, we will merely refund you the cost of the products after deducting the reasonable cost of the courier returning the Products to us.

It is your responsibility as Customer, to ensure that you, or your intended gift recipient (if applicable), check the package upon arrival and make any reservations and claims with the courier which might appear to be justified. We strongly advise you to refuse the package if it appears to have been opened or if it shows clear traces of damage.

If you wish to make a claim then we require you to notify us by email to online@beachandbeyond.co.za within 5 Business Days (of the courier making,or attempting to make, delivery) that you wish to make a claim and setting out your reasons for that claim.
We will discuss the matter and the evidence with the courier and the insurer and advise you of our findings. If we agree with your claim for lost or damaged Product then we will refund you for the cost of that product and for any delivery costs you may have incurred.

RETURNS

Faulty Products
The Product is intended to be used strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s latest published instructions as set out on the Product itself. It is your responsibility to ensure that you use the Product strictly in accordance with those instructions.

We try very hard to deliver Products in excellent condition however sometimes a fault may slip through unnoticed. If it does then in order to provide you with any remedies for a faulty Product, we will need your assistance and prompt provision of certain information regarding the Product, including you specifying with reasonable detail the way in which it is alleged that the Product is damaged or defective. We require you to notify us by email within 5 Business Days of receipt of the Product that the Product is faulty and that you agree to return the Product to us in its current condition within a further 5 Business Days of that email notification. If we agree, at our discretion, that the product is faulty we will provide you with a refund for the cost of that product and for your reasonable delivery and return courier costs.

If you return an alleged faulty Product to us and we find that the Product has:

  1. Been misused, abused or subjected to neglect, improper or inadequate care, carelessness, damage or abnormal conditions; or
  2. Been involved in any accident or damage caused by an incorrect attempt at modification or repair; or
  3. Been dealt with or used contrary to our or the manufacturer’s instructions for the Product; or
  4. Deteriorated through normal wear and tear,
    after delivery by us, we may at our discretion decide not to replace or refund you for the Product and/or we may require you to pay all reasonable carriage costs to return the alleged Product to you and, to the extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable to you for any losses, liabilities, costs, damages, charges or expenses as a result.
