6.1.2.1.2 NOTE: Ventria will indicate the acceptance of your order by having our authorised courier partner deliver the Product to you and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Ventria come into effect (the “Sale”).

Ventria will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
6.1.2.1.3 Prior to delivery of the Product, you may cancel an order at any time provided you do so before receiving a dispatch or delivery notice, and by immediately emailing info@ventria.co.za confirming your request for a timeous cancellation. After delivery of the Product, you may return the Product only in accordance with the Shipping, Cancellation, and Returns provisions below.
6.1.2.1.4 Placing a Product in a wishlist or shopping cart without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such Product, and as such, the Product may be removed from the shopping cart if stock is no longer available or the price thereof might change without notice to you.

6.1.2.2.4 Should a user wish to return the Product purchased from the Website, to Ventria for any reason, he/she may do so within seven (7) days from their receipt of the Product. The user will be responsible for notifying Ventria of the Product’s impending return as well as for paying for all return shipping costs, to ensure the Product’s physical return to Ventria in its original, unsoiled condition and packaging. This condition is in addition to all other rights conferred on you by relevant consumer and online protection laws.
6.1.2.2.5 The shipping costs, including but not limited to any courier costs, export/import taxes/duties or release fees, are to be paid by the user.
