We offer free standard shipping on orders above R1 000, this offer does not apply to orders for delivery outside of South Africa’s borders.

We make use of multiple courier service providers. We will send you a message by email to tell you when we have dispatched your order, to track your parcel please refer to that email.

Deliveries will be made by the courier to the address stipulated in your order, please ensure you capture the correct shipping address.

If your parcel has already been dispatched, you are responsible for arranging the receipt of the Goods directly with the relevant courier.

Goods are sent at our risk until signed for by you or by any other person at the address you have given to us or delivery is attempted but unsuccessful due to the provided contact person being unreachable or unavailable. We may, but are not obliged to, deliver the Goods in instalments if they are not all available at the same time for delivery.

You must ensure that someone is present to accept the delivery. All Goods must be signed for on delivery by an adult aged 18 years or over.

When your Goods arrive, it is important that you check immediately the condition and quantity. If your Goods have been damaged in transit, you must refuse the delivery and immediately contact us so that we may dispatch a replacement quickly and minimize your inconvenience. Signing "Unchecked", "Not Checked" or similar is not acceptable.

Any references made to delivery or transit times are estimates only and shall not be treated as contractual when you place your order. We are not liable to you for any expense or inconvenience you incur on account of delayed delivery or non-delivery. Delivery estimates exclude the time to process and pack your order, which may vary depending on the size of the order.

The bases on which we process information about you

4. Information we process because we have a contractual obligation with you

When you create an account on our website, buy a product or service from us, or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us.
In order to carry out our obligations under that contract, we must process the information you give us. Some of this information may be personal information.

We may use it in order to:

verify your identity for security purposes
sell products to you
provide you with our services
provide you with suggestions and advice on products, services and how to obtain the most from using our website

We process this information on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you have requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract.
We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.

5. Information we process with your consent

Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us, such as when you browse our website or ask us to provide you more information about our business, including our products and services, you provide your consent to us to process information that may be personal information.

Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies. If you have given us explicit permission to do so, we may from time to time, pass your name and contact information to selected associates whom we consider may provide services or products you would find useful. We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us at help.tanworx@gmail.com. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our website or our services further.

6. Information we process for the purposes of legitimate interests

We may process the information on the basis there is a legitimate interest, either to you or to us, of doing so.

Where we process your information on this basis, we do after having given careful consideration to:

whether the same objective could be achieved through other means
whether processing (or not processing) might cause you harm
whether you would expect us to process your information, and whether you would, in the round, consider it reasonable to do so

For example, we may process your information on this basis for the purposes of:

record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of our business
responding to unsolicited communication from you to which we believe you would expect a response
protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party
insuring against or obtaining professional advice that is required to manage business risk
protecting your interests where we believe we have a duty to do so

7. Information we process because we have a legal obligation

Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation.
For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorization such as a search warrant or court order.
This may include your personal information.

Specific uses of information you provide to us

8. Information provided on the understanding that it will be shared with a third party

Our website allows you to post information with a view to that information being read, copied, downloaded, or used by other people.

Examples include:

posting a review or message on our online store
clicking on an icon next to another visitor’s message to convey your agreement, or thanks

In posting personal information, it is up to you to satisfy yourself about the privacy level of every person who might use it.

We do not specifically use this information except to allow it to be displayed or shared.
We do store it, and we reserve a right to use it in the future in any way we decide.

Once your information enters the public domain, we have no control over what any individual third party may do with it. We accept no responsibility for their actions at any time.

Provided your request is reasonable and there is no legal basis for us to retain it, then at our discretion, we may agree to your request to delete personal information that you have posted. You can make a request by contacting us at help.tanworx@gmail.com.

9. Complaints regarding content on our website

We attempt to moderate user generated content, but we are not always able to do so as soon as that content is published.
If you complain about any of the content on our website, we shall investigate your complaint.
If we feel it is justified or if we believe the law requires us to do so, we shall remove the content while we investigate.

Free speech is a fundamental right, so we have to make a judgment as to whose right will be obstructed: yours, or that of the person who posted the content that offends you.

If we think your complaint is vexatious or without any basis, we shall not correspond with you about it.

Payment information is never taken by us or transferred to us either through our website or otherwise. Our employees and contractors never have access to it.

If your complaint reasonably requires us to contact some other person, we may decide to give to that other person some of the information contained in your complaint. We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for our sole discretion as to whether we do give information, and if we do, what that information is.

We may also compile statistics showing information obtained from this source to assess the level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any other person.
