1. Where the Customer is purchasing Microsoft Service Provider Licensing Agreement (?SPLA?) products or services, the Customer undertakes to provide timely reporting of its prior months usage by the 10th day of each month.

4.   Delivery, Title and Risk

1)     HPonline shall use reasonable endeavours to despatch goods by the date agreed with the customer, but does not accept liability for failure to deliver within the stated time where this is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, such as delays caused by delivery companies or manufacturer lead times. If a delay is likely, we shall contact the customer and advise of the delay.

 

2)     In the case of a Business Customer, if HPonline is unable to deliver the goods within 30 days of the agreed delivery date , the Customer will, as its sole remedy, be entitled to cancel the order and require any monies paid to HPonline in respect of that order to be refunded. In order to cancel, the Customer must send written notice of cancellation to HPonline after the above date but before delivery of the goods or notification from HPonline that the goods are ready for delivery. This Clause does not apply to Consumers.

 

3)     In the case of Business Customers, HPonline does not accept liability for shortages or damage to deliveries unless the Customer notifies HPonline of the shortage or damage in writing within 48 hours of receipt of the delivery.

 

4)     Business Customers are required to be able to accept the goods when they are ready for delivery within Normal Working Hours.

 

5)     Delivery is deemed to take place when the goods are delivered to the Customer's nominated address, whereupon the risks of loss, breakage and all damage and all other risks shall pass to the Customer.

 

6)     Title in the goods does not pass to the Customer until payment is received in full by HPonline.

 

7)     If the Customer cannot accept delivery, HPonline may at its option: (a) store and insure the goods at the Customer's expense and risk or (b) sell the goods at the best price reasonably obtainable and (after deducting reasonable storage insurance and selling costs) pay to the Customer any excess over the sale price or charge the Customer for any shortfall or (c) re-arrange delivery provided that HPonline may charge the Customer for the additional delivery costs incurred.

 

8)     The Customer may request a Proof of Delivery, provided that this request is made in writing within 3 months of the date of delivery and HPonline shall use reasonable endeavours to provide such proof. Thereafter, delivery shall be deemed to have been successfully completed.

 

9)     Upon delivery of the goods, the Customer will be asked to sign a Proof of Delivery to acknowledge safe receipt. It is the responsibility of the Customer to ensure that the number of packages delivered corresponds with the number stated on the delivery note. Where a discrepancy occurs or where there is evident damage to the packaging, this should be noted on the Proof of Delivery. HPonline shall not be liable for discrepancies or damage evident on delivery where the Customer accepts delivery and signs the Proof of Delivery without amendment.

10)     HPOnline reserve the right to part ship goods on all orders to the customer and to invoice each shipment separately, unless otherwise stipulated by the customer. This is to make sure that the customer receive their stock in a fast and efficient manner.

5.   Payment

1)     Payment is due on shipment unless a Customer has been approved for credit. HPonline's standard credit terms require payment within 30 days from the date of the invoice, except in the case of transactions where different terms are agreed in writing.

 

2)     If payment is not made on the due date, HPonline will be entitled to charge interest daily on the outstanding balance at the rate of 3% above Prime lending rate from time to time and in any event an administration fee in the sum of R250 shall be applied to each overdue invoice.

6.   Product specifications

1)     HPonline makes every effort to supply the goods as advertised but reserves the right to supply the goods subject to minor variations in actual dimensions and specifications where these are changed by the manufacturer.

 

2)     If HPonline cannot supply the goods ordered by the Customer, HPonline reserves the right to offer goods of equal or superior quality at no extra cost. In such a case, if the Customer does not wish to accept the alternative goods offered, he or she may cancel the order and require the refund of any money paid to HPonline in respect of that order, including carriage charges. This shall be the sole remedy of the Customer in these circumstances.

 

3)     Due to the current manufacturing methods of active matrix display panels, a small percentage of sub-pixel anomalies (i.e. a pixel stuck on or off) are accepted by the industry as unavoidable. Accordingly, because the manufacturing yield of perfect active matrix panels is low, displays may have some sub-pixels that are either always on or off. The cost of accepting only theoretically perfect displays would almost double the price of a portable computer using an LCD screen. Please be aware of this before purchasing a TFT screen. HPonline has to adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines stipulating that a given number of pixel failures are deemed acceptable before the TFT screen is accepted for replacement on grounds of fault.

7.   Trade names and Trade Marks

1)     Trade names and marks (other than HPonline's) are not always indications of the actual manufacturer of a particular product and may rather be indicative of general use systems and machines associated with such products.

 

2)     In the case of component purchases, Customers requiring a particular brand of product should, before placing an order, check with HPonline the identity of the manufacturer of component it is proposed to purchase.

8.   Warranties and Returns

Please note that special terms apply to Consumers who wish to return goods, which prevail over the provisions of this Clause 8. Customers who are Consumers are referred to Clause 13.

1)     HPonline is committed to providing our customers with the highest quality products and service. However, on rare occasions, products may be found to be faulty or defective. In such cases we offer the returns facilities described below.

 

2)     Unless otherwise stated in the manufacturer's documentation, all goods delivered to a South African address carry a 12-month manufacturer's warranty.

 

3)     If you purchase goods in the course of your business, the following provisions of this Clause shall apply. Other than the express provisions set out in these terms and conditions, all other terms and the implied terms or warranties relating to the supply of goods are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. Goods are not tested or sold as being fit for any particular application or for use under specific conditions, unless expressly agreed in writing.

 

4)     If you purchase services in the course of your business, the following provisions of this Clause shall apply. HPonline shall use its skill and expertise to carry out any contracted works (the "Service(s)") to a standard equivalent to that of a competent computer professional, and shall warrant our work as free from defects, for a period of 30 days after completion. In particular, we cannot be held responsible for any fault or damage not caused by HPonline services' engineers or its contracted agents. In the event of a claim arising relating to the level of skill and judgement applied in the course of providing Services, HPonline reserves at its sole discretion the right to appoint an independent expert in the field to appraise the work carried out in the execution of the Service(s). Additionally, HPonline cannot be held responsible for equipment installed or configured when the equipment has subsequently been altered or configured by persons other than HPonline. Except as set out here, all other express or implied terms or warranties relating to the Services are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

5)     Subject to the right of Consumers to return goods for refund under The Consumer Protection Act (see Clause 13), HPonline does not sell products on a trial basis. Customers are strongly advised to check suitability and specifications of products before ordering. In some instances, Customers may benefit from special price discounts issued by a manufacturer specifically for their benefit. Such goods are not returnable to the manufacturer and may not be sold to other customers. Accordingly, orders for such goods can not be cancelled and HPonline can only accept a return of such Goods where they prove to be defective and the Goods are returned for repair or replacement.

 

6)     In the event that HPonline, at its discretion agrees to accept the return for credit of unwanted products, the goods must be returned with HPonline's prior written agreement within 14 days of delivery. The goods must be unopened and in perfect re-saleable condition. All goods returned in these circumstances will be subject to a handling fee of 15% of HPonline's sale price for the goods, or R250, whichever is the greater.

 

7)     Subject to testing to verify any alleged fault, we will accept the return of defective goods for full refund or replacement at our option, if, but only if, the goods are returned within 14 days of delivery. Consumers who wish to return defective products are not obliged to follow the processes set out below, but are recommended to do so as this helps us to provide a more efficient returns service.

 

1. HPonline's technical support staff or Customer Support staff, as appropriate, will advise you of which method of delivery to use to return the products. Depending on the nature of the product purchased, we will either arrange a courier collection, or request that you return the product directly to us. If the goods are found on inspection to be defective, the cost of returning the item will be refunded to you.

 

1. All returned goods (except those returned under Clause 13) must be accompanied by HPonline's Returns Authorisation number ('RA Number') which can be obtained by contacting Customer Support. Returned goods will not be accepted without an RA Number. Do not write directly on the manufacturer's packaging. Please write the RA number on the address label provided with the Returns Authorisation and attach it to the returned package. Any defacement of the manufacturer's packaging or damage caused by inadequate packaging may result in the rejection of the return or an additional restocking fee, at HPonline's sole discretion.

 

1. HPonline cannot accept liability for packages damaged during transit. It is the Customer's responsibility to wrap the product adequately to prevent damage.

 

1. Proof of postage is not proof of delivery and you are therefore strongly advised to send your package by recorded delivery, registered post or courier, and to insure the goods for their full value.

 

1. On receipt of the returned product, we will test it to identify the fault you have notified to us.

 

13. If following the testing process, the product is found to be in good working order without defect, we will return the product to you, and the carriage costs of this return will be your responsibility. Please note that if you have, in the meantime, required us to provide you with a replacement product before completion of the testing process, you will have to pay for this product also. This Clause does not apply to Consumers returning goods pursuant to Clause 13.

 

1. Unless otherwise stated in the manufacturer's documentation, all goods delivered to a South African address carry a 12-month manufacturer's warranty. Customers who wish to make a warranty claim must comply with the manufacturer's instructions and warranty procedure. In order to resolve your problem as quickly as possible, we may refer you to the product manufacturer who will deal directly with the return. In these instances, we will provide you with the contact information for the relevant manufacturer. If you are a consumer, this does not affect your statutory rights.

 

1. This warranty shall not apply if the goods have been worked upon, altered or damaged in any way by the Customer or its employees or agents, or to goods not used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

 

1. No software on which seals have been broken can be returned for credit. If any software discs are faulty, the manufacturer will replace them. If you are a consumer this does not affect your statutory rights. Please note Software Licences are non returnable unless the software is materially non-compliant with its specification or the physical media on which it is supplied is defective.

 

1. Some manufacturers require goods to be returned within 14 days or less in order to secure refund. In such instances the manufacturer's time limit will apply and therefore HPonline will only accept a return within 14 days of purchase or the manufacturer's time limit, if that limit is less than 14 days. This is clearly indicated on the catalogue page for the particular product. We can only accept the return of a defective product that does not meet the description, if they are returned to us within 14 days. Beyond that period you will be deemed to have accepted the goods and you must therefore check the goods promptly on receipt. Please note that this period is reduced to 7 days for clearance bargain.

9.   HPonline’s Liability

1)     In its dealings with Business Customers, HPonline shall under no circumstances be liable for any consequential or indirect damage or loss, however caused, including (but not restricted to) loss of business or profits, loss of goodwill, damage to trading relationships loss of data and other financial loss. ("Financial loss" in this sense does not refer to the price you have paid for the goods, which we may be liable to refund to you, in whole or in part, if the goods are faulty or do not comply with their description). HPonline's liability in respect of all other losses shall be limited to the invoiced amount of the relevant order.

10.   Health and Safety

1)     HPonline confirms that the goods it supplies as a distributor do not present a hazard to health and safety

 

1. when properly used for the purpose for which they are designed; and

 

1. if the Customer takes reasonable and normal precautions in their use.

11.   Force Majeure

1)     Where, in spite of its reasonable efforts, HPonline is unable to perform an obligation due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, it shall not be deemed to be in breach of its contract with the Customer.

12.   Special Rules for Clearance Bargains & Non-Current Catalogue Requests ('NCCR') Products

Please not that special terms apply to Consumers who wish to return goods, which prevail over the provisions of this Clause 12. Customers who are Consumers are referred to Clause 13.

1)     Goods sold as 'Clearance Bargains' or "Stock Blowout" are downgraded goods that HPonline is able to offer at a discount on the normal catalogue price. Stocks of goods offered as Clearance Bargains are limited and such goods are sold subject to the following special rules. These special rules apply in addition to, and in the event of any conflict override, all of HPonline's other terms and conditions, except those terms and conditions specifically covering Consumers.

 

2)     Clearance Bargains are graded according to the condition of the goods, which is described at the point of sale. The length of the guarantee (if any), with the benefit of which the goods are sold, is specified in the description of the relevant grade.

 

3)     Clearance Bargains, by their very nature, have limited availability. Upon receipt of an order for Clearance Bargains, HPonline will check stock availability. Until stock availability is confirmed to the customer, a contract for sale will not be created and no payment will be debited from the customer.

 

4)     All goods sold by HPonline as 'Non-current catalogue requests' ('NCCR') or 'Specials' are sold subject to the following special rules that apply in addition to HPonline's other terms and conditions.

13.   The Consumer Protection Act

1)     Contracts for the purchase of goods by a Customer not acting in the course of a business and made over the telephone or through the HPonline website, or by mail order, are, with the exception of certain excepted contracts, subject to The Consumer Protection Act  ('the Regulations').

 

2)     If the Regulations apply, Customers may cancel goods purchased from HPonline by sending a written notice of cancellation by post or hand delivery

 

3)     The notice of cancellation must be delivered within 7 working days of the day after date of delivery of the goods.

 

4)     The Customer will be responsible for the cost of returning the goods if he or she exercises this right of cancellation under the Regulations. If the Customer does not actually return the goods to HPonline, the Customer is under a duty to make the goods available for collection at the Customer's expense from the address to which they were delivered.

 

5)     The Customer is under a duty to retain possession of the goods whilst awaiting return to HPonline and to take reasonable care of them during this period. The Customer will be liable for any loss of or damage to the goods if he or she fails to comply with this obligation.

14.   Errors and Omissions

1)     HPonline makes every effort to ensure that all prices and descriptions quoted in its catalogue and on its website are correct and accurate. However, the frenetic tempo of e-commerce makes it inevitable that mistakes will occasionally occur. In the case of a manifest error or omission, HPonline will be entitled to rescind the contract, notwithstanding that it has already accepted the Customer's order and/or received payment from the Customer. HPonline's liability in that event will be limited to the return of any money the Customer has paid in respect of the order. In the case of a manifest error in relation to price, the Customer will be entitled to purchase the goods by paying the difference between the quoted price and the correct price, as confirmed in writing by HPonline after the manifest error has been discovered.

 

2)     A 'manifest error', as the term is used in sub-paragraph (1) above, means, in relation to an incorrect price, a price quoted in error by HPonline which is more than 10% less than the price that would have been quoted had the mistake not been made.

 

15.   Confidential Information and Data Protection

1)     Each party shall preserve the confidentiality of all confidential information of the other which it receives, keep such information secure and protected against theft, damage, loss or unauthorised access, and not use such information for any purpose except as contemplated by the Contract. Moreover, each party shall ensure that such obligations are observed by its employees, officers, agents and contractors. These obligations shall survive the variation, renewal or termination of the Contract for a period of three years but shall not apply to information which is already in or subsequently comes into the public domain through no fault of the recipient.

16.   General

1)     Nothing in these terms and conditions affects your statutory rights as a Consumer.

 

2)     If any provision in this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be deemed severed from the Agreement and this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.
