ORDERS.
You may order products from a Site only if you are 18 years old or older. After placing an order, having carefully read, understood and accepted the present Terms, Hydenation’s Privacy Policy as well as the terms of sale and privacy policy of Payfast, you will receive an e-mail from Hydenation acknowledging that we have received your order and containing an order reference number and details of the product(s) you have ordered (“Order Reference”). The Order Reference is acknowledgment that we have received your order and does not mean your order has been accepted by us. Hydenation will take your payment and carriers approved by Hydenation will deliver your orders. In the event that Hydenation, or otherwise makes a change to your order for a valid reason, we will contact you using the email and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. Additionally, we may limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, distributors or any other unauthorized party. Your bank or credit card will not be charged if your order is rejected and the amount you are charged will be proportionally reduced if Hydenation limits the quantities in your order.
9.1Confirmation.
Hydenation will only accept your offer when we send you an e-mail confirming that the product has been dispatched (“Shipping Confirmation”). Therefore, the contract between you and Hydenation will only be formed when the Shipping Confirmation is sent to you via email. The contract will relate only to those products whose dispatch has been confirmed in the Shipping Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such products has been confirmed in a separate Shipping Confirmation.
9.2 Price & Payment
Payment is taken and processed by and through our international sales facilitation and fulfilment partner, Payfast. You agree to pay in full the prices for your purchases in accordance with the Payment Information Policy. The types of payment accepted by payfast for orders placed through the Sites, as well as any additional details with respect to certain payment types, are set out in the Sites’ Payment Information Policy.
The price of the Products will be as quoted on the Sites from time to time and include VAT (where applicable) at the rate in the delivery destination on the day on which you place your order on the Site. Hydenation reserves the right to update such rates regularly at its sole discretion, and you acknowledge that such updates may affect product pricing on the Sites. The price quoted on the Sites for products excludes shipping charges which are quoted separately on the Sites and notified to you before your order is confirmed. However, the final price of the transaction, including all the costs, will be communicated to you in your order summary before placing your order.
If paying in a different currency to your bank account, your bank may charge for currency conversion. Pricing may differ by country or shipping destination.
If you place an order on the Site, then you acknowledge and agree that: (i) Hydenation or one of their third party payment processors will charge you through the payment method you have selected for your order and such other amounts that may accrue in connection with the order; (ii) that you will provide valid and current information for (a) yourself and (b) if applicable, another person, but only if you have first obtained their express consent to do so; (iii) that Hydenation may use tools, software or services of payment processors to process transactions on their behalf; (iv) you may be charged additional fees (such as foreign transaction fee or cross border fee) or surcharges imposed by your bank or credit/debit card issuer. These additional fees or surcharges are not our or payfast’s charges or fees and neither we nor Payfast have control over this or any way to mitigate this, as this is purely up to the relationship and commercial terms between you and your bank or credit/debit card issuer. Neither we nor Payfast have any way of knowing in advance whether you will be charged such fees or surcharges, as each bank and credit/debit card issuer has its own policy, and our and payfast’s commitment is to acquire the amount set at checkout in your local currency; and (v) if your payment is not received by payfast for any reason from your card issuer, you agree to promptly pay all amounts due upon request and using the method that payfast reasonably prescribes.
Hydenation may contract with a local licensed customs broker at your destination, in which case, by placing an order through the Site, you authorize the applicable customs broker to act as your agent to: (a) conduct transactions with the local customs authority, (b) execute related documents on your behalf in connection with the import of goods in your order, (c) facilitate your payment of applicable taxes; and (d) if applicable, return such products to Company (subject to these Terms) and (if applicable) handle the associated reimbursement claim for taxes paid. You acknowledge that, in the case of a return of products under these Terms, Hydenation may, if in accordance with these Terms, reimburse and refund you for the cost of the merchandise, but not the import charges, which may or may not be reimbursable by the relevant authority. If Hydenation is able to obtain on your behalf reimbursement of taxes paid on orders, any such reimbursement will be paid by the applicable tax authority to the customs broker, and then Hydenation will reimburse such amounts directly to you if and to the extent, and only after, Hydenation receives such amounts from the customs broker.
You may have to pay import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches your destination. You must meet any additional charges for customs clearance. Please note, customs policies vary widely from destination to destination. We recommend you contact your local customs office for further information.
9.3 Product availability.
Product availability on the Site is not guaranteed as products may be low in stock or out of stock when you place an order. If a product is not available, your order may be rejected. In such a case, we will communicate it to you using the email and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. Prices displayed on the Site maybe quoted in the local currency of your shipping destination and are valid and effective only in this destination.
