Whether or not IKAANG (PTY) LTD or the Third Party Seller 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 IKAANG (PTY) LTD for the Goods.
    2. NOTE: IKAANG (PTY) LTD or the Third Party Seller 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 IKAANG (PTY) LTD or the Third Party Seller come into effect (the “Sale”).This is regardless of any communication from IKAANG (PTY) LTD stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. IKAANG (PTY) LTD will indicate the rejection of your order (by IKAANG (PTY) LTD itself or the Third Party Seller) by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.

    2. Gift Vouchers
      1. Gift Vouchers that are purchased by registered users are valid for 3 years after Sale. Gift Vouchers that IKAANG (PTY) LTD gives away for free are valid for the period stated thereon. In each case, if your Voucher has not been used within that period, it will expire.
      2. Gift Vouchers cannot be used to buy other Gift Vouchers or Coupons. They do not accrue interest and are not refundable for cash once purchased or otherwise obtained.

      3. IKAANG (PTY) LTD is not responsible for any harm due to the loss, unauthorised use or unauthorised distribution of a Gift Voucher, after it has delivered the Gift Voucher to you or the email address nominated by you.
    3. Coupons
      1. There are two types of Coupons; a Coupon with a fixed amount of a discount, e.g. R100 off (“FixedCoupon“), and a Coupon with a percentage discount, e.g. 10% off (“Percentage Coupon“).
      2. Coupons are issued in IKAANG (PTY) LTD’s sole discretion and we are entitled at any time to correct, cancel or reject a Coupon for any reason (including without limitation where a Coupon has been distributed in an unauthorised manner). Users do not have a right to Coupons, and Coupons cannot be earned. Coupons are issued under specific terms and conditions regulating when and how they may be used.
      3. As a general rule, and unless specified otherwise on the specific Coupon itself:
        1. each Coupon can only be used once;
        2. only one Coupon can be used per order;
        3. only one Coupon can be used on the Website per person per promotion/campaign;
        4. Percentage Coupons may only be redeemed on purchases with a total cart value of less than R5,000;
        5. where a Percentage Coupon has been used and you wish to cancel any items in the order prior to making payment, the entire order must be cancelled. You will be issued with a new Percentage Coupon and will need to place the order again, without the item that you wished to cancel;
        6. a Coupon must be used at check-out – it cannot be used later on existing orders; and
        7. the value of the Coupon will be set off against the value of your shopping basket and the balance remaining, if any, will be payable by you.

      6. You may be required to submit the original communication containing the Coupon code, and any other information reasonably requested by IKAANG (PTY) LTD, before you are able to use a Coupon.
    4. Daily Deals and other discounted Goods
      1. From time to time, we may offer certain Goods at discounted prices as part of a Daily Deal, App Only Deal, Bundle Deal or any other temporary deal which are explained below (each a “Deal”). These will be subject to certain conditions (as set out in these Terms and/or the Website), which define the scope of the Deal. If you buy a product within the scopeof a Deal, you will pay the discounted price for that product (the “Deal Price”).
      2. However, if you buy a product in a manner that fallsoutside of the scope of a Deal, then you will pay the then current (non-Deal) selling price on the Website (the “Normal Price”), for each product that falls outside the scope of the Deal.
      3. For example: if you buy more than one product in a Daily Deal, you will pay the Deal Price for the first product, but the Normal Price for all products thereafter. Alternatively, if you buy a product in combination with any other products that together do not constitute a Bundle Deal, you will pay the Normal Price for all such products falling outside the scope of the relevant Deal.
      4. Daily Deals
        1. At our discretion, Daily Deals (“Deals”) are available daily from 7am – 23:59pm on week days and from 9am – 23:59pm on weekends. In addition, please note that Daily Deals have a stock limit and may expire earlier if stock runs out.
        2. Daily Deals quantities are limited and as such, after a Daily Deal is sold out, those particular Goods may be available on the Website at their normal selling prices (but no longer as a Daily Deal).
        3. We do not guarantee a specific saving. The extent of the Daily Deal or discount is at the sole discretion of IKAANG (PTY) LTD.
        4. Only one of each Daily Deal may be purchased per customer.
        5. Adding a Daily Deal to your cart, or completing your order for a Daily Deal without paying for it, does not reserve the item for you. IKAANG (PTY) LTD must receive payment from you within 24 hours of you placing your order for a Daily Deal, otherwise we will cancel your order.
        6. IKAANG (PTY) LTD will reserve stock for customers in the order in which it receives payment. Therefore if you pay via EFT, you might not get your item because IKAANG (PTY) LTD may only receive payment from you a few days later, and in the meantime the Daily Deal might sell out to customers paying immediately.
        7. The List Price shown in respect of Daily Deals and other discounted Goods is the recommended retail price suggested to us by the supplier of the relevant product. Where the supplier has not provided a recommended retail price, an estimate may be provided. Where a product is offered for sale by a Third Party Seller, the List Price may be provided by the Third Party Seller.
        8. By purchasing any Daily Deal, you are also automatically opting in for our Daily Deals daily newsletter as well as our general newsletter (you may opt-out of these newsletters at any time). Opting out of these newsletters after purchase will not affect the value of the Goods purchased.
      5. eBooks
        1. An “eBook” means an electronic book  capable of being opened and read on your PC or Mac computer using Adobe Digital Editions software (“Adobe Reader”), and on certain other mobile hardware devices (such as iphones and android) using the IKAANG (PTY) LTD.com Reader software (“IKAANG (PTY) LTD eReader”).

          3. You will not be able to read eBooks on devices that do not support either of the Reader Applications, therefore check your device prior to purchasing an eBook.
          4. Even if a device supports either of the Reader Applications, eBooks will only be able to be read on such devices that you have associated with your profile in the relevant Reader Application. If you have not registered additional devices with one of the Reader Applications, you will only be able to read the eBook on the device onto which it was first downloaded.
          5. You will need to be connected to the internet when you download an eBook and open it for the first time.  On subsequent openings of the eBook, you will not need to be connected to the internet, provided you are opening the eBook from the device on which you first downloaded and opened the eBook.
        3. Ordering eBooks:When ordering an eBook from us, you will be ordering the right to download such eBook from the relevant publisher and consequently, if IKAANG (PTY) LTD accepts your order, delivery will take place electronically via the internet as described below.
        4. Delivery of eBooks:
          1. Where IKAANG (PTY) LTD accepts your order, upon receipt or confirmation of payment, we will obtain your Link to the relevant eBook from the relevant eBook publisher and deliver such Link to you in your “LibraryBox” page on the Website. The speed of delivery of a Link will depend on a variety of factors, most of which are internet related and beyond our control (such as server availability, ADSL lines etc) and as such, IKAANG (PTY) LTD does not hereby undertake to make delivery within any specific timeframe. However, as a guide only, delivery should occur within a few seconds, but can also take up to a number of hours. You will be able to access and click on the Link at any time following delivery thereof to you, subject to certain restrictions. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS:
            1. So as to reduce the risk of fraud, eBook publishers limit the number of times any Link can be clicked before access to the Link is blocked. You will be able to click on such Link at least once, but acknowledge that access to the Link may become blocked after your first click so as to prevent fraud;
            2. The Link will not appear if you have removed it, or IKAANG (PTY) LTD has removed it pursuant to your having ‘returned’ the eBook (if possible in accordance with IKAANG (PTY) LTD’s Returns Policy pertaining to eBooks from time to time);
            3. IKAANG (PTY) LTD does not guarantee that eBook publishers will make their eBooks available for download indefinitely and IKAANG (PTY) LTD accepts no responsibility or liability to you or any other person if, upon your accessing and clicking the Link, the relevant eBook publisher no longer has the eBook available for download via such Link, provided that, if you discover and report such a problem within 6 months of your receipt of the Link, you will be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price paid therefor.
          2. We do not charge any delivery fees for electronic delivery of the relevant eBook link, however, you may incur costs (eg internet service provider fees) associated with downloading the eBook, and we will not under any circumstances be liable for any such costs incurred by you.
          3. Practical issues to note in utilising the Link to download the eBook:
            1. The Link will contain your unique reference number as allocated by the publisher of the eBook. By clicking on the Link, a small locator file, unique to you, will be downloaded and will give you access to the eBook.
            2. IMPORTANT: the locator file required in order to access the eBooks will only be downloaded IF the device you are using to click the Link is already associated with the relevant Reader Application(i.e. if you are using a PC or Mac to click on the Link, you must have the Adobe Reader installed on that PC/Mac. If you are using a mobile device to click on the Link, you must have the IKAANG (PTY) LTD eReader installed on that mobile device).
            3. If you have any problems relating to the functionality of your Link, please report same to us here so that we can assist you in resolving the problem.
          4. Illegal use of eBooks:
            1. All eBooks are the exclusive property of the publisher or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. The download of eBooks is intended for your personal and non-commercial use. Any other use of eBooks purchased from us is strictly prohibited.
            2. You may not modify, transmit, publish, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display, or in any way exploit, any of the content of eBooks, in whole or in part, and more specifically, you will not print, copy, or ‘lend’ eBooks to any other person. You may also not do anything which otherwise contravenes any licence conditions imposed by the publisher, as described on the relevant eBook’s product detail page. These aforementioned prohibitions are hereinafter referred to as “Illegal Activities”.
            3. By downloading any eBook, you hereby acknowledge and agree to these Terms and Conditions. You hereby undertake that you shall not do nor try to do any of the Illegal Activities. You hereby indemnify IKAANG (PTY) LTD from any and all loss, damage, or expense it may suffer or from claims which may be made by third parties against IKAANG (PTY) LTD which arise from or in relation to your having participated in any Illegal Activities in relation to any eBook sold by IKAANG (PTY) LTD.

        5. Third Party Sellers
          1. IKAANG (PTY) LTD will indicate on relevant product pages and checkout pages when Goods are for sale by a Third Party Seller. In such cases IKAANG (PTY) LTD only provides the platform to facilitate transactions between Third Party Sellers and IKAANG (PTY) LTD customers. IKAANG (PTY) LTD is neither the buyer nor the seller of these Goods unless otherwise specified.
          2. The Sale formed on acceptance of your order (in accordance with clause 5.2) for Goods that are for sale by a Third Party Seller is therefore solely between the registered user and such Third Party Seller. IKAANG (PTY) LTD is not a party to that sale.
          3. The Third Party Seller is solely responsible for fulfilment of delivery of the Goods. The Third Party Seller is also responsible to provide an invoice to the registered user if required.
          4. Not all Third Party Sellers are registered VAT (Value-Added Tax) vendors. Only Third Party Sellers who are registered VAT vendors may charge VAT on Goods sold and issue a tax invoice in respect thereof. If a Third Party Seller is not a registered VAT Vendor, it may not charge VAT on Goods sold and will not be in a position to issue a tax invoice in respect thereof.
          5. Because IKAANG (PTY) LTD wants the registered user to have a safe and consistent experience, IKAANG (PTY) LTD will handle any returns under the CPA or the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 2002 (“ECT Act”), by the registered user arising out of or in connection with the Sale between a registered user and a Third Party Seller on behalf of the Third Party Seller according to IKAANG (PTY) LTD’s own Returns Policy. Should such claim escalate into being a dispute, although IKAANG (PTY) LTD is entitled to become involved in an attempt to resolve it, IKAANG (PTY) LTD is not obliged to do so and any disputes must be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Seller alone.
