Products

Product Images and Representation

We have made every effort to display the Products [VD8] on the Website as accurately as possible, including:

• the images that represent a visual depiction of the Product
• features and descriptions that pertain to the Product;

The actual Product delivered may be subject to variations in appearance, as Product packaging may differ over time. It remains the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the Product he/she ordered is correct, and the Product description and/or model number will always overrule any related images when resolving a dispute about a Product.

As the actual colours you see will depend on your computer’s monitor Rack Solid cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of any colour will be accurate.

Product Pricing, Availability and Delivery

The products displayed on the Website are subject to availability and will be delivered within the Republic of South Africa only, within the areas as determined by Rack Solid. Available delivery areas are identified at the checkout process when the delivery address is entered, and it remains the responsibility of the customer to ensure the delivery address, including the suburb and postal code, is correct.

All prices displayed on the Website are valid and effective only in the Republic of South Africa for the day that they are viewed and do not constitute an offer by any of our physical Rack Solid stores. Rack Solid reserves the right, without prior notice, to discontinue or change pricing or specifications of products and services offered on this Website without incurring any liability whatsoever.

Rack Solid cannot guarantee availability of stock but will endeavour to source stock where possible to fulfil your order. Where items cannot be delivered, Rack Solid will endeavour to contact the customer based on the information provided at registration, and offer either the option to cancel the order or reduce the quantities, where applicable. If Rack Solid is unable to supply each and every item ordered or in the quantities ordered and cannot contact the customer, the customer nevertheless agrees to accept delivery and make payment for the items correctly delivered.

For online purchases, customers will be charged the prices that are reflected on the Website, subject to availability and save where “Inadvertent and Obvious Errors” have occurred. The prices include Value-Added Tax. Special promotions may be subject to certain conditions, including stock availability and limited-offer stipulations.

Inadvertent and Obvious Errors

Whilst all precautions are taken by the Company to provide the correct information on the website, in the event that we identify an inadvertent and obvious error in the price, product or service description, images and any other relevant content, Rack Solid is not obliged to provide you with the affected product or service.
Rack Solid will make every effort to contact you to alert you of the error. In such circumstances you are entitled to cancel the purchase and we will provide a full refund for the amount paid.

We appreciate that customers may use the Rack Solid website to research pricing before physically visiting our Rack Solid store. However, please note that pricing on the Rack Solid website does not constitute an offer by our Rack Solid store. To avoid disappointment, we therefore recommend that pricing and stock availability is confirmed with the respective Rack Solid store prior to visiting the store.
