When supplied, please take note of correct storing conditions and procedures, as well as serving temperatures and suggesting ageability under ideal conditions.
Section 44 of the ECT Act may apply to your electronic transactions. If you qualify as a consumer under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, you may be entitled to cancel some electronic transactions within seven days, without reason or penalty. Section 44 is only applicable if you are a natural person – in other words, a human being. You must also be the end user of the goods or service. The transaction must be an electronic transaction – a transaction concluded via (in whole or in part) the website, email, or SMS.
We warrant that all our non-consumable goods are new and of good quality, unless we clearly describe them as used or reconditioned or as having specific defects. All our wine and other consumable goods are new.
Statutory goods warranty for six months. We warrant all our new goods against any defects for six months of normal household or business use, from the time we supplied the goods. This is the statutory warranty in terms of the Consumer Protection Act of 2008 (the CPA).

If you wish to validly return any goods in terms of the cooling-off period, you must return them in new condition with all packaging and materials. We will refund the purchase price of the goods (minus the direct costs of returning the goods) within 30 days of the date of cancellation if we are satisfied that you had the right to return them in terms of the cooling-off period. You may not return opened wine or other spoiled consumable goods unless they are defective.
Defective goods are those that had a defect or were unsafe when we supplied them. A defect usually means that the goods were manufactured using materials or workmanship below an acceptable standard. You must prove that goods are defective.
We will repair, replace, or refund the price of any defective goods that you return to us during the six month statutory warranty. Returns must follow our returns procedure below
We are trained to recognise any defects in our goods. We can usually tell if the goods have been misused, for example if they have been neglected, damaged, altered or not used as directed. We will give reasons if we refuse to accept that we supplied defective goods, but will only do this if we honestly believe that the goods have been misused.
Warranties on any of our goods will be invalid if any person who is not suitably qualified has opened, tampered with or altered the goods contrary to the instructions or removed any warranty labels. This also applies to goods found to be unsuitable. It may be fraud to damage goods deliberately to claim a refund.
Our customer that is also a consumer under the CPA may return goods within ten days of delivery if they could not examine them before delivery and then discovered that the goods are not what they ordered or expected, or are not suitable for a specific purpose that they communicated to us in writing.
A consumer must return unsuitable goods within ten days of delivery according to our returns and refunds procedure below.
We will refund the full price of any unsuitable goods in their original unopened packaging. We will not refund the price of any wine or other consumable goods that have been opened. For opened non-consumable goods, we may deduct or charge a reasonable amount for any use of the goods plus certain costs necessary for repackaging and restocking, subject to the CPA. These costs are usually up to 25% of the cost of the goods.
We will refund the reasonable postal and insurance costs of returning defective or unsuitable goods. We may inspect the goods to confirm that they are defective before we do so. We will not issue compensation for items found not to be defective, but will still issue a refund for the items if they qualify for a refund under any of the above-mentioned warranties or policies.
You must use our returns and refunds procedure for returning defective or unsuitable goods, or else we may refuse to accept them. Our returns and refunds procedure is as follows: Returns & Refunds Procedure Diagram
If we do not accept that we supplied defective or unsuitable goods, and our customer services department has not been able to help, any customer may still take the matter up with a suitable ombud or other dispute resolution body, or take legal action. The dispute resolution procedures under the CPA do not necessarily apply to all transactions with us. This policy does not exclude any other rights customers may have.
