Conclusion of sales and availability of stock
1. Registered users may place orders for Goods, which NeedStationery or the Third Party Seller may accept or reject. Whether or not NeedStationery 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 NeedStationery for the Goods.
2. NOTE: NeedStationery 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 NeedStationery or the Third Party Seller come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from NeedStationery stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. NeedStationery will indicate the rejection of your order (by NeedStationery itself or the Third Party Seller) by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
3. Prior to delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may cancel an order at any time provided you do so before receiving a dispatch or delivery notice. After delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may return the Goods only in accordance with the Returns Policy.
4. Placing Goods in a wish list or shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such Goods, and as such, Goods may be removed from the shopping basket if stock is no longer available or the price thereof might change without notice to you. You cannot hold NeedStationery or the Third Party Seller liable if such Goods are not available or are not available at the particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.
5. You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited and that pricing may change at any time without notice to you. In the case of Goods for sale by NeedStationery, NeedStationery will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when stock is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued on the Website. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of stock. When Goods are no longer available after you have placed an order, NeedStationery will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid by you for such Goods.
6. Certain Goods may not be purchased for re-sale. Should we suspect that any such Goods are being purchased for sale, we are entitled to cancel your order immediately on notice to you.
7. Please see details relating to Pre-orders in our FAQ’s: Pre-Order, which are incorporated by reference.

We will notify you if we are unable to deliver the Goods during the Delivery Period. You may then, within 7 (seven) days of receiving such notification elect whether or not to cancel your order for the Goods. If you elect to cancel your order, we will reimburse you for the purchase price.
4. NeedStationery’s obligation to deliver a product to you is fulfilled when we deliver the product to the physical address nominated by you for delivery of the order. NeedStationery is not responsible for any loss or unauthorised use of a product, after it has delivered the product to the physical address nominated by you.
Errors
1. We shall take all reasonable efforts to accurately reflect the description, availability, purchase price and delivery charges of Goods on the Website. However, should there be any errors of whatsoever nature on the Website (which are not due to our gross negligence), we shall not be liable for any loss, claim or expense relating to a transaction based on any error, save – in the case of any incorrect purchase price – to the extent of refunding you for any amount already paid, or otherwise as set out in the Returns Policy.
2. NeedStationery shall not be bound by any incorrect information regarding our Goods displayed on any third party websites.
Gift Vouchers & Coupons
1. NeedStationery may from time to time make physical or electronic gift vouchers (“Gift Vouchers”) and promotional coupons or discounts (“Coupons”) available for use on the Website towards the purchase of NeedStationery Goods. Gift Vouchers and Coupons can only be redeemed while they are valid and their expiry dates cannot be extended. More specifically:
2. Gift Vouchers
  1. Gift Vouchers that are purchased by registered users are valid for 3 years after Sale. Gift Vouchers that NeedStationery 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. If your Gift Voucher value is insufficient for the order you wish to place, you may make up the difference by paying via one of our other payment methods.
  3. NeedStationery 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 (“Fixed Coupon“), and a Coupon with a percentage discount, e.g. 10% off (“Percentage Coupon“).
  2. Coupons are issued in NeedStationery’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 R2,000;
    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.
  4. Coupons cannot be used to buy Gift Vouchers or other Coupons, and cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash or credit. NeedStationery is not responsible for any harm due to the loss, unauthorised use or distribution of a Coupon.
  5. If for any reason a Coupon does not reflect on the final amount due from you at check-out, you can contact us here to confirm if the Coupon is still valid. If NeedStationery confirms that the Coupon is still valid and you have already placed your order, you can choose whether to cancel the order and place it again with the Coupon, or you can use the Coupon on your next order within the limitations of the specific Coupon’s terms and conditions.
  6. You may be required to submit the original communication containing the Coupon code, and any other information reasonably requested by NeedStationery, before you are able to use a Coupon.
On Sale items and other discounted Goods
1. From time to time, we may offer certain Goods at discounted prices as part of a sale or Bundle Deal which are explained below (each a “Sale”). These will be subject to certain conditions (as set out in these Terms and/or the Website), which define the scope of the Sale. If you buy a product within the scope of a Sale, you will pay the discounted price for that product (the “On Sale”).
2. However, if you buy a product in a manner that falls outside of the scope of a Sale, then you will pay the then current (non-Sale) selling price on the Website (the “Normal Price”), for each product that falls outside the scope of the Sale.
3. For example: if you buy more than one product in a Sale, you will pay the Sale 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 Sale.
4. On Sale
  1. At our discretion, On Sale (“Sales”) are available daily from 7am – 17:00pm on week days and from 9am – 14:00pm on weekends. In addition, please note that On Sale items have a stock limit and may expire earlier if stock runs out.
  2. On Sale item quantities are limited and as such, after a On Sale item is sold out, those particular Goods may be available on the Website at their normal selling prices (but no longer as a On Sale price).
  3. We do not guarantee a specific saving. The extent of the On Sale item or discount is at the sole discretion of NeedStationery.
  4. Only one of each On Sale item may be purchased per customer.
  5. Adding an On Sale item to your cart, or completing your order for an On Sale item without paying for it, does not reserve the item for you. NeedStationery must receive payment from you within 24 hours of you placing your order for an On Sale item, otherwise we will cancel your order.
  6. NeedStationery 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 NeedStationery may only receive payment from you a few days later, and in the meantime the On Sale item might sell out to customers paying immediately.
  7. The List Price shown in respect of On Sale 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.
5. Bundle Deals
  1. We may from time to time offer bundle deals for sale under the Bundle Deals tab on the Website (“Bundle Deals“). Each Bundle Deal will consist of two or more products that either we or you (as provided on the Website) have combined together in a single bundle.
  2. Any saving or discount resulting from purchasing a Bundle Deal instead of its component products separately may be applied to any of the component products individually in our sole discretion. The actual purchase price (after applying any applicable saving or discount) of each component product will be communicated to you upon checkout and reflected in your order history. This is relevant to the amount that would be refunded to you, if you were to return any product in a Bundle Deal for a refund, in accordance with our Returns Policy.
  3. A Bundle Deal should be distinguished from a pre-packed bundle compiled by our supplier and supplied to us as a single unit (“Pre-packed Bundles“). Any saving or discount in respect of a Pre-packed Bundle will be applied only to the total bundle price and not to the prices of the individual component products. Please refer to our Returns Policy for information about returning a Pre-packed Bundle.
Third Party Sellers
1. NeedStationery will indicate on relevant product pages and checkout pages when Goods are for sale by a Third Party Seller. In such cases NeedStationery only provides the platform to facilitate transactions between Third Party Sellers and NeedStationery customers. NeedStationery 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. NeedStationery 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 NeedStationery wants the registered user to have a safe and consistent experience, NeedStationery 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 NeedStationery’s own Returns Policy. Should such claim escalate into being a dispute, although NeedStationery is entitled to become involved in an attempt to resolve it, NeedStationery is not obliged to do so and any disputes must be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Seller alone.

13. This website makes use of “cookies” to automatically collect information and data through the standard operation of the Internet servers. “Cookies” are small text files a website can use (and which we may use) to recognise repeat users, facilitate the user’s on-going access to and use of a website and allow a website to track usage behaviour and compile aggregate data that will allow the website operator to improve the functionality of the website and its content, and to display more focused advertising to a user by way of third party tools.
