if the seal is broken
Incorrect items
We will either replace the item or refund you for any item that you receive that does not match the description advertised on the website. We will usually need you to return the item to us at no additional cost to yourself.
Please contact us at info@Masonja.co.za within 24 hours where the item is not what you ordered.
Prices
The prices displayed are inclusive of 14% VAT. Delivery costs are charged separately on check out and do not form part of the product price displayed.
Though we endeavour to ensure that the prices displayed on the website are accurate, we offer several million products for sale at any time and it is impossible for us to monitor the prices of all individual products manually. While we go to lengths to ensure that the prices we display are accurate, we are reliant on our suppliers for providing accurate pricing information and as a result it is possible that erroneous prices may be displayed from time to time. In such cases, we shall not be obliged to sell the product at the erroneous price, and will correct erroneous prices as soon as we become aware of them.
As part of our service, we source products from all over the world and the prices we display for products on our website will fluctuate with exchange rates, and as our suppliers change their stock holdings and pricing. Displaying a price on the website does not constitute any undertaking by us to maintain that price for any length of time. We will always endeavour to complete your order at the price quoted at the time that the order was placed, but in cases of erroneous pricing or where our suppliers deplete their reserves of specially priced stock, we may cancel all or a portion of your order and fully refund any advance payments that you have made toward the affected products.
Payments
If you pay by credit card, we will authorise (reserve) the amount of the order at the time of the order being placed and we will debit the card as soon as we actually start processing the order. Any subsequent cancellations will be refunded to the card.
We do not store your credit card details. Our acquiring bank allows us to transact on cards that we’ve used in the previous 6 month period by using partial card details and referring to the previous successful transaction on that card. If applicable, you can choose to pay on your previously used card during the checkout process.
We may require further authentication on credit card payments, which we will request from you after you have submitted your payment.
If you pay directly into our bank account and need to be refunded, we will refund the amount to your Masonja.co.za customer account.
All refunds will be credited to your customer account.
There is no interest payable on the balance in your customer account.
Delivery
For deliveries we use the South African Post Office, Online Courier Partners(door-to-door deliveries), and Speed Services Couriers (express counter-to-counter deliveries). We reserve the right to use any other service providers as needed.
You need to ensure that you provide us with a valid delivery address and contact number and choose the correct delivery address and delivery method during the checkout process.

Please contact us if you do not receive your parcel within the estimated delivery time provided and we will happily assist in locating it.
You accept that in order for us to prove delivery of an order, or part there of, we do not have to prove that you personally received the goods, but that any person at the delivery address specified on your order signed for the delivery.
In the case of post office or depot collections, we need to prove that somebody, not necessarily you, collected the delivery from the depot or post office. Unfortunately, proof-of-delivery records cannot be retained indefinitely and if a delivery has been dispatched by us and not reported missing by you within six months of us having dispatched it, the package will be deemed to have been delivered without us having to provide proof of delivery.
Should a delivery be returned to us as undeliverable, we will let you know and request that you to make arrangements to either have the parcel collected from us or re-delivered to you. You authorise us to dispose of, donate, or resell the contents of parcels not collected within six months of such request being made.
Should you choose to collect your order or parts thereof from us, we will let you know once each parcel is ready for collection. You authorise us to dispose of, donate, or resell the contents of parcels not collected within six months of such notification being sent.
Should you receive a delivery where the contents of the package do not match the items listed on the dispatch note included in the package, you agree to notify us without delay and we will not be liable for shortages not reported within seven days of you having received the package.
Delivery made to areas outside of the delivery areas of our service provider will be charged at higher rates and must be paid by the customer in addition to the price of the product purchased.
Age restrictions and age suitability
The onus is on you to ensure that you and/or the person for whom you may be buying a product on the Website, meet any age restrictions applicable to such products ordered by you on the Website (including wine and spirits, DVDs and Blu-Rays), that these restrictions are observed, that you are over 18 in the case of Wine and Spirits, and that any product bought is age appropriate. Accordingly, you indemnify Masonja.co.za from any and all liability in this regard, including any liability arising as a result of your failure to provide accurate information in this regard when completing the Masonja.co.za Website registration process.
Delayed / cancelled orders
Most orders are dispatched on time but unfortunately, unexpected delays can occur and we may not be able to dispatch items within the schedule provided. Items can run out of stock or be discontinued without warning, and we may not be able to fulfil orders for that item. We will do our best to keep you informed of any unexpected delays, stock shortages or discontinued items.
If we are not able to dispatch or deliver an item to you within the schedule provided, you may refuse a delivery, cancel your order or return the parcel to us, and we shall refund you in full.
Agreement of sale / cancellations
An order is placed with us only after you have clicked on the [Pay for this order] button. Your order is an offer to purchase the goods from us. We only accept your offer once we have dispatched the goods or you have collected them from us. We do not need to communicate our acceptance to you.
Placing an item in your cart does not constitute an order and we cannot be held liable if the item is no longer available, or if the price has changed by the time the checkout process is completed.
We reserve the right to cancel an order at any point in time without giving any reasons. In this case, we shall be liable to refund any money already paid in respect of that order.
Please note that our website will show an item as being available even if only one unit is available to purchase. If you order multiple units of the same item, we may not be able to supply additional units at the same price, within the same time frame, or in some cases, at all. Please contact us to check availability of multiple units prior to placing an order.
Should you wish to cancel all or part of an order, please send your cancellation request to info@Masonja.co.za. Please note, however, that we may not be able to cancel items from an order if they have already been dispatched by our suppliers.
