Terms and Conditions

1. Introduction

Our website can be accessed at www.hellodarlingpackages.co.za related mobi-sites and software applications (the “Website”) and is owned and operated by Hello Darling (“Hello Darling”, “we”, “us” and “our”).
These Website Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) govern the ordering, sale, delivery and return of Goods, and the use of our website.
These Terms and Conditions are binding against every person that accesses or uses this Website (“you”, “your” or “user”), including without limitation each user who registers as contemplated below (“registered user”). By using the Website and by clicking on the “Register Now” button on the Website, as may be applicable, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
The Website enables you to shop online for gift boxes and other related products (the “Goods”).

2. Conclusion of sales and availability of stock

Registered users may place orders for Goods, which Hello Darling may accept or reject. Whether or not Hello Darling accepts an order depends on the availability of Goods, correctness of the information provided by you (including without limitation your personal particulars) and receipt of payment or payment authorisation by Hello Darling for the Goods.
Hello Darling will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods to you, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Hello Darling or the Third Party Seller come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Hello Darling stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Hello Darling will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
Once payment has been made you may not cancel an order.
You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited and that pricing may change at any time without notice to you. In the case of Goods for sale by Hello Darling, We will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when stock is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued on the Website. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of stock. When Goods are no longer available after placing an order, Hello Darling will notify you, within reasonable time of your order or replace said item with a similar product of the same value.

3. Payment

We are committed to providing secure online payment facilities through our third party service providers.
Payment can be made to Hello Darling for Goods via –
- direct bank deposit or electronic funds transfer: if you pay via direct bank deposit or electronic funds transfer, payment must be made within 5 (five) days of placing your order. The order will not be finalised untill the funds have cleared. Hello Darling will not accept your order if payment has not been received.
You may contact us via email at admin@hellodarlingpackages.co.za to obtain a full record of your payment. We will also send you email communications about your order and payment.

4. Delivery of goods

Hello Darling will deliver your ordered Goods to you by physical delivery to your nominated address.
Hello Darling, or its third party service provider, will deliver the Goods to you as soon as reasonably possible.
We will notify you if we are unable to deliver the Goods during the Delivery Period. You may then, within 3 (three) days of receiving such notification elect whether or not to cancel your order for the Goods. If you elect to cancel your order, we will reimburse you for the purchase price.
Hello Darling’s obligation to deliver a product to you is fulfilled when we deliver the product to the physical address nominated by you for delivery of the order, at which time delivery shall be deemed to have taken place. Hello Darling is not responsible for any loss or unauthorised use of a product, after it has delivered the product to the physical address nominated by you.
Orders of 10 or more gift boxes need a two week processing period.
Because delivery is via a courier service, we cannot give you a specific delivery time.
We will send you an e-mail once your gift box has been dispatched.
We will do our best to have your order dispatched and delivered on time but we cannot be held responsible should delays occur beyond our control.
Hello Darling cannot be held responsible for any failed or delayed deliveries due to incorrect or missing delivery information supplied to us.
We cannot be held responsible if there is no one at the delivery address to receive the delivery.
We will have the gift box re delivered at an additional cost and will not be held responsible for any perished goods.

5. Errors

We shall take all reasonable efforts to accurately reflect the description, availability, purchase price and delivery charges of Goods on the Website. However, should there be any errors of whatsoever nature on the Website (which are not due to our gross negligence), we shall not be liable for any loss, claim or expense relating to a transaction based on any error, save – in the case of any incorrect purchase price – to the extent of refunding you for any amount already paid, or otherwise as set out in the Returns Policy. Hello Darling shall not be bound by any incorrect information regarding our products displayed on any third party websites.

6. Vouchers & Coupons

Hello Darling may from time to time make promotional coupons or discounts (“Coupons”) available for use on the Website towards the purchase of Hello Darling Goods. Coupons can only be redeemed while they are valid and their expiry dates cannot be extended.
There are two types of Coupons; a Coupon with a fixed amount of a discount, e.g. R100 off (“Fixed Coupon“), and a Coupon with a percentage discount, e.g. 10% off (“Percentage Coupon“).
Coupons are issued in Hello Darling’s sole discretion and we are entitled at any time to correct, cancel or reject a Coupon for any reason (including without limitation where a Coupon has been distributed in an unauthorised manner). Users do not have a right to Coupons, and Coupons cannot be earned. Coupons are issued under specific terms and conditions regulating when and how they may be used.
As a general rule, and unless specified otherwise on the specific Coupon itself:
- each Coupon can only be used once;
- only one Coupon can be used per order;
- only one Coupon can be used on the Website per person per promotion/campaign;
- a Coupon must be used at check-out – it cannot be used later on existing orders; and
- the value of the Coupon will be set off against the value of your shopping basket and the balance remaining, if any, will be payable by you.
Coupons cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash or credit. Hello Darling is not responsible for any harm due to the loss, unauthorised use or distribution of a Coupon.
