• 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.
    4. Online Course Codes
      1. An “Online Course” is a form of distance learning which allows you to develop your skills and knowledge on a certain topic, via the internet. In order to complete an online course, you need to have your own email account and access to the internet. You do not need to attend classes or visit an education campus. On completion, you will typically receive a digital certificate. Some online courses may require you to complete an assessment (also done online) to complete the course. Online Courses are accessible by means of an Online Course Code.
      2. An “Online Course Code” is a unique digital code that can be redeemed on the respective websites of certain Online Course providers. Upon redeeming the Online Course Code on the website of such Online Course providers, you will either be enrolled for the particular course automatically, or you will be given credit on the Online Course provider’s website which will enable you to enrol for the particular course you have purchased. Your access to any Online Course Code purchased by you from us will be granted via the unique digital code that will be sent to you by email, to the email address we have on file.
      3. IMPORTANT – Limitations relating to Online Course Codes
        1. You will not be able to use Online Course Codes and / or access Online Courses through the Shopie website. You will have to utilise the Online Course Code and Online Course through the relevant Online Course provider’s website.
        2. You will need to be connected to the internet when you use an Online Course Code and / or access the Online Course. Subsequent usage and access thereof will be subject to the specific Online Course provider’s website usage restrictions.
      4. Ordering Online Course Codes: when ordering Online Course Codes from us, you will be ordering the right to access an Online Course from the relevant Online Course provider, on their website. Consequently, if Shopie accepts your order, delivery will take place electronically via the internet as described below:
        1. Where Shopie accepts your order, upon receipt of confirmation of payment, we will obtain your Online Course Code to the relevant Online Course and deliver it to you via the email we have on file. For information on speed of delivery please refer to clause 12.4.1 above. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS:
          1. So as to reduce the risk of fraud, Online Course providers limit the number of times any Online Course Code can be applied to one application and you acknowledge that usage of the Online Course Code may become blocked after your first use so as to prevent fraud;
          2. Access to the Online Course may be denied if you have completed the Online Course, or Shopie has removed it pursuant to your having ‘returned’ the Online Course (if possible in accordance with Shopie Returns Policy pertaining to Online Course Codes from time to time);
          3. Shopie does not guarantee that Online Course providers will make their Online Courses available for download and use indefinitely and Shopie accepts no responsibility or liability to you or any other person if, upon your utilising the Online Course Code, the relevant Online Course is no longer available, provided that, if you discover and report such a problem within 6 months of your receipt of the Online Course Code, you will be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price paid therefor.
        2. We do not charge any delivery fees for electronic delivery of the relevant Online Course Code, however, you may incur costs (eg internet service provider fees) associated with accessing and using the Online Course, and we will not under any circumstances be liable for any such costs incurred by you.
        3. Practical issues to note in utilising the Online Course Code:
          1. The Online Course Code is your unique code as allocated by the Online Course provider for a particular Online Course.
          2. By utilising the Online Course Code on the relevant Online Service provider’s website you may be required to sign up and register on an Online Course provider website, which you acknowledge is in no way affiliated, associated with or linked to Shopie.
          3. If you have any problems relating to the usage of your Online Course Code, please report same to us here so that we can assist you in resolving the problem.
      5. Return of Online Course Codes: please refer to our Returns Policy.
      6. Illegal use of Online Course Codes:
        1. By purchasing any Online Course Code and/or accessing any Online Courses you acknowledge and agree that the provisions of 12.6.1-12.6.3 are applicable to the usage and access thereof.
        2. You hereby acknowledge and agree to these Terms and Conditions and undertake that you shall not do nor try to do any of the Illegal Activities. You hereby indemnify Shopie from any and all loss, damage, or expense it may suffer or from claims which may be made by third parties against Shopie which arise from or in relation to your having participated in any Illegal Activities in relation to any Online Course Code sold by Shopie.
      7. For more information and assistance, please refer to our Help Centre: Product and Stock, which are incorporated by reference.
    5. Third Party Sellers
      1. Shopie will indicate on relevant product pages and checkout pages when Goods are for sale by a Third Party Seller. In such cases Shopie only provides the platform to facilitate transactions between Third Party Sellers and Shopie customers. Shopie 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. Shopie 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 Shopie wants the registered user to have a safe and consistent experience, Shopie 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 Shopie own Returns Policy. Should such claim escalate into being a dispute, although Shopie is entitled to become involved in an attempt to resolve it, Shopie is not obliged to do so and any disputes must be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Seller alone.
    6. Privacy policy
      1. We respect your privacy and will take all reasonable measures to protect it, as more fully detailed in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.
