3.6 Prices
All prices are displayed in South African rand.
ProReach is currently not VAT registered, and prices do not include VAT charged by ProReach.
Delivery charges, if applicable, are shown separately during checkout.
We may change prices without notice, but a change will not normally affect an order already accepted.
3.7 Errors
Where a product is listed with an obvious pricing, description or system error, ProReach may correct the error and contact the customer.
Where an order cannot reasonably be fulfilled because of an obvious error, ProReach may cancel the order and refund amounts paid.
This clause will not be used to avoid a valid agreement unfairly or contrary to consumer law.
3.8 Orders
Submitting an order is an offer to purchase.
An order is accepted when ProReach confirms acceptance or dispatches the goods, subject to applicable law.
We may refuse or cancel an order where:
- Payment is not authorised
- Stock is unavailable
- Delivery information is incomplete
- Fraud or misuse is suspected
- The order contains an obvious error
- Delivery is unavailable to the address supplied
- The transaction would be unlawful
Where a paid order is cancelled by ProReach, the relevant amount will be refunded.

Returns, exchanges and refunds are governed by the Return and Refund Policy.
Nothing in these terms excludes statutory rights.
