Transport costs, taxes and risks inherent to the return of an unclaimed parcel and/or to a possible reshipment, are for the account of the Customer exclusively, as are the risks of storing the merchandise returned. SA Kruger Rands will not reship the Order unless and until SA Kruger Rands is paid in full for any return shipping costs, duties, taxes. SA Kruger Rands has had to pay or advance for the Customer as well as any subsequent re-ship fees back to the Customer.

8. Limitation of Damages
SA Kruger Rands shall not be liable for any loss, damage or destruction of Product caused by force majeure.
9. Market loss policy
When the Customer buys from SA Kruger Rands, once SA Kruger Rands has issued an Order Confirmation number, the Customer has a binding contract, the transaction price is locked-in and any corresponding market risk is transferred to the Customer.
Any order cancellation by SA Kruger Rands other than caused by SA Kruger Rands is subject to SA Kruger Rands’s market loss policy plus a one thousand Rand (R 1,000) cancellation fee. The Customer must also pay and has full responsibility and liability to SA Kruger Rands for all fees and costs associated with SA Kruger Rands’s effort to collect it from the Customer. Order cancellation will be confirmed, and the Customer will be given a cancellation number. At that time, if any market loss to SA Kruger Rands has occurred, it will be calculated and added to the R 1,000 cancellation fee. If applicable, the Customer agrees to have full responsibility and liability to SA Kruger Rands for any cancellation fee and/or market loss and agrees to remit immediately (upon notice) to SA Kruger Rands good funds for any cancellation fee and/or market loss. No future order by the Customer will be permitted until the market loss is paid in full. Any market gain on order cancellations vest in and shall remain the property of SA Kruger Rands. Upon written confirmation by SA Kruger Rands of the payment of the R 1,000 cancellation fee plus the market loss, SA Kruger Rands will renounce to civil liability actions against the Customer for any breach by him/her and all resulting damages to SA Kruger Rands.
10. Information requirements in case of transport damage
The shipping insurance ends once the Product has been delivered and the corresponding delivery receipt signed by the Customer.
The Customer has the obligation to refuse any shipment, which appears to be damaged or tampered with as the shipping insurance ends once signed for and/or delivered. When refused, the package(s) will return to SA Kruger Rands for inspection. Customers must immediately submit a complaint by email to the Customer Service so that any associated rights against the shipper/carrier can be preserved.
If there is any disruption in the delivery of a package, the Customer agrees to cooperate with SA Kruger Rands in any investigation or claim process and to take every reasonable action requested of him/her in the process. Failure to fully cooperate will jeopardize coverage that may be provided to the Customer.
11. Defects and liability for damages
In case of defects which are not apparent at the time of delivery against signature, the Customer must notify it to the Customer Service within three (3) business days from the moment that he/she receives the Product, otherwise the defect will be considered as accepted.
When purchasing several Products, the defective nature of one of the Products, its replacement or the impossibility of shipping, will not invalidate the entire purchase contract.
Once the claim is filed, SA Kruger Rands reserves its right to re-ship the items or refund the Customer at its discretion, and SA Kruger Rands shall have no further responsibility or liability to the Customer.
12. Anti-money laundering and fight against the financing of terrorism policy
SA Kruger Rands makes it a priority to comply with high standards of anti-money laundering and combating terrorism financing practice.

For this purpose, The Customer must supply and disclose to SA Kruger Rands the personal information needed for identification purposes, if the Customer wishes to create, continue or to carry out the business relationship or a particular transaction. The Customer, as SA Kruger Rands’s contractual partner, is subject to a legal obligation to cooperate with SA Kruger Rands; when necessary, the Customer must provide SA Kruger Rands with the information and documentation necessary for identification purposes and must also notify to SA Kruger Rands of any changes which may occur in the course of the business relationship.
In all cases, SA Kruger Rands requires from the Customer his/her name, first name, address, nationality, date of birth and to confirm his/her email address. SA Kruger Rands always matches the contracting partner name between the given information and the credit card/bank payment details.

At the Customer’s request, SA Kruger Rands may, but is not obligated to provide the Customer with an opportunity to exchange a Product for an identical Product in the event of a material defect. The Customer must receive a written confirmation that the exchange request has been approved. No merchandise will be accepted unless the return has been previously accepted by SA Kruger Rands. If SA Kruger Rands agrees to do so, such exchange must be made within seven (7) business days from the date on which the Customer receives his or her Product(s). After this time, the return will be refused. The return must be made using the original packaging, against signature. The Customer is responsible for the risk of loss during the return shipment. Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
