Nothing in this section limits your rights where goods do not correspond with their description, sample or applicable quality requirements under South African law.

Adding a product to your cart does not guarantee that the product will remain available until checkout is completed.
If we are unable to fulfil an accepted order due to circumstances permitted by applicable law, we will contact you and provide an appropriate remedy where required.
We will not intentionally accept orders for products that we know we cannot supply.
5. Prices
All prices displayed on the Ultrotec website are stated in South African Rand (ZAR) unless otherwise indicated.
The price applicable to your purchase will be the price displayed at the time your order is placed, subject to correction of genuine pricing errors.
Any applicable delivery charges will be displayed during the checkout process before you complete your purchase.
6. Orders
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase the selected products.
After placing an order, you will receive an order confirmation or acknowledgement.
An order may be cancelled where permitted by law, including in circumstances involving a genuine pricing error, fraudulent activity, product unavailability or other circumstances recognised by applicable law.
Where an order has been accepted and payment has been received, Ultrotec will fulfil the order in accordance with the applicable order and delivery terms, subject to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Payments are processed through the payment methods made available at checkout.
You agree that the payment information supplied during checkout is accurate and that you are authorised to use the selected payment method.

Returns and refunds are governed by our Ultrotec Return & Refund Policy.
Our voluntary change-of-mind return period is 30 days from receipt of the product, subject to the conditions contained in that policy.
