Online Catalog & Placing an Order

Our online store catalogs many of the products that are available for sale. However, the products in the online store do not constitute a legally binding offer by itself. By placing an order, the customer makes a legally binding commitment to Talentz to purchase the goods in the shopping basket. Upon checkout, the customer shall receive an order acknowledgment soon after the order has been submitted. The sales contract shall only enter into effect upon receipt of our separate order confirmation via email. When you place an Order with us, then subject to your rights to cancel or return the items, you commit (legally bound) to buy the items described in that Order, at the price indicated including any delivery fees, cash handling fees, taxes and duties where applicable.
Orders are subject to our acceptance, which we may withhold, for reasons including ineligibility, inability to confirm payment authorization, pending payment, suspected fraud, shipping restrictions and stock availability. In such a case, the customer shall be notified immediately. Any payments which have already been made shall be refunded without delay.
The Website may contain or provide information regarding the availability of products. Unfortunately, as inventory can change throughout the day, your selected products may be sold out by the time we process your Order. Should this happen, we will notify you and refund any payments collected from you.
Confirmation of your Order will be acknowledged by email. Should you not receive a confirmation within 1 working day of placing the order, please contact us at customerservice[at]talentz.net. Kindly note, we may conduct verification of an order by phone to validate the authenticity of the order.
