Legal notice

Absolutely. For CAERA, I’d make the Legal Notice separate from your T&Cs. It should identify the business, explain ownership of the website/content, set out acceptable use, and include the important South African legal disclaimers without trying to override the Consumer Protection Act.

  • other original materials.

These materials may be protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual-property laws.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, publish, commercially exploit or otherwise use CAERA's proprietary content without prior written permission, except where permitted by law.

4. PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHS AND INFORMATION

CAERA makes reasonable efforts to ensure that Product information displayed on the Website is accurate.

However, Product appearance may vary due to:

  • lighting;

  • photography;

  • screen settings;

  • natural materials;

  • manufacturing processes;

  • fabric batches;

  • wood grain;

  • finishes; and

  • reasonable manufacturing variations.

Where dimensions, specifications or other Product characteristics are material to your purchasing decision, Customers should carefully review the Product information before placing an Order.

5. THIRD-PARTY PRODUCT SOURCING

CAERA may source Products from independent third-party Suppliers and manufacturers.

Product information may therefore originate from those Suppliers.

CAERA does not represent that it manufactures every Product sold through the Website unless expressly stated otherwise.

Supplier policies, warranties and specifications may apply to particular Products.

However, nothing in this Legal Notice removes or limits any legal right or remedy that a Customer may have against CAERA under applicable South African law.

6. WEBSITE ACCURACY

CAERA makes reasonable efforts to ensure that information on the Website is current and accurate.

However, the Website may occasionally contain:

  • typographical errors;

  • pricing errors;

  • Product availability errors;

  • specification errors;

  • technical errors;

  • outdated information; or

  • other inadvertent inaccuracies.

CAERA reserves the right to correct such information when identified.

Where an error materially affects an Order, CAERA may contact the affected Customer and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable law.

7. WEBSITE AVAILABILITY

CAERA does not guarantee that the Website will always be:

  • available;

  • uninterrupted;

  • secure;

  • error-free; or

  • free from technical defects.

The Website may occasionally be unavailable due to maintenance, technical problems, hosting issues, cybersecurity incidents, telecommunications failures or circumstances outside CAERA's reasonable control.

8. EXTERNAL LINKS

The Website may contain links to websites, platforms or services operated by third parties.

These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes.

CAERA does not control third-party websites and does not accept responsibility for their:

  • content;

  • accuracy;

  • availability;

  • security;

  • privacy practices; or

  • terms and conditions.

Customers access third-party websites at their own discretion.

9. SHOPIFY

The CAERA Website is powered by Shopify.

Shopify provides the technology and infrastructure that enables CAERA to operate its online store.

Products purchased through the Website are sold by CAERA, not Shopify.

Shopify is not responsible for the Products sold by CAERA, including Product quality, delivery, Assembly, warranties or customer-service obligations relating to purchases from CAERA.

10. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS

CAERA may use independent third parties to assist with its business operations, including:

  • payment processing;

  • delivery and logistics;

  • furniture Assembly;

  • technology;

  • hosting;

  • communications;

  • marketing; and

  • other business services.

Where necessary to provide a Service or fulfil an Order, relevant Customer information may be shared with the appropriate service provider in accordance with CAERA's Privacy Policy and applicable law.

11. LIMITATION OF RESPONSIBILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CAERA will not be responsible for loss or damage arising solely from circumstances outside CAERA's reasonable control.

This may include circumstances such as:

  • Supplier delays;

  • courier delays;

  • transport disruptions;

  • natural disasters;

  • severe weather;

  • power failures;

  • telecommunications failures;

  • government restrictions; or

  • other force majeure events.

CAERA will nevertheless take reasonable steps to assist Customers where reasonably possible.

Nothing in this Legal Notice excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by South African law.

12. FLAT-PACK PRODUCTS

Some CAERA Products may be supplied flat-packed.

Customers who choose to assemble Products themselves are responsible for following the manufacturer's assembly instructions.

CAERA will not be responsible, to the extent permitted by law, for damage caused solely by:

  • incorrect assembly;

  • failure to follow instructions;

  • unauthorised modifications;

  • misuse;

  • neglect; or

  • improper handling after delivery.

This does not affect any legal rights relating to a Product that was defective before assembly.

13. PROFESSIONAL ASSEMBLY

Where professional Assembly is purchased or included with an Order, CAERA may arrange an independent assembly technician.

Assembly is performed according to the agreed scope of work.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, Assembly does not include structural, electrical, plumbing or construction work.

Customers must provide reasonable and safe access to the premises.

14. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY NOTICE

All rights in CAERA's original Website content are reserved.

Unauthorised use, reproduction, copying, distribution or commercial exploitation of CAERA's intellectual property may constitute infringement of applicable intellectual-property laws.

If you believe that content appearing on the Website infringes your intellectual-property rights, please contact CAERA at:

15. PRIVACY

CAERA takes the protection of personal information seriously.

Personal information collected through the Website may be processed for purposes including:

  • processing Orders;

  • payments;

  • delivery;

  • Assembly;

  • customer support;

  • fraud prevention;

  • accounting;

  • legal compliance; and

16. CONSUMER RIGHTS

CAERA operates in accordance with applicable South African law.

Nothing contained in this Legal Notice, the Website, or CAERA's other policies is intended to exclude, restrict or waive any statutory consumer right or remedy that cannot legally be excluded, restricted or waived.

Where a conflict exists between a provision of this Legal Notice and a mandatory provision of South African law, the mandatory legal provision will apply.

17. GOVERNING LAW

This Legal Notice is governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.

Subject to any applicable consumer rights or statutory dispute-resolution mechanisms, the competent courts of South Africa will have jurisdiction over disputes arising from the use of the Website or Products purchased from CAERA.
