Please read these Terms carefully before using our website.

You agree to provide accurate and complete information when placing orders or communicating with our customer support team.

You may not use our website for unlawful, fraudulent or unauthorised activities.

4. Products and Product Information

KOOLIO sells consumer products, including portable personal cooling products and related accessories.

We aim to provide accurate product descriptions, images, specifications and pricing.

However:

  • Product colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen.

  • Product availability may change.

  • Minor packaging variations may occur.

  • Product features and specifications are as stated on the applicable product page.

We will not knowingly substitute a materially different product without informing you and obtaining any consent required by law.

If a product received does not match its description or is defective, your statutory consumer rights remain applicable.

5. Pricing and Currency

All product prices displayed on our website are in South African rand (ZAR) unless otherwise stated.

The total amount payable, including applicable delivery charges and taxes, will be presented during checkout before you confirm your purchase.

We reserve the right to change product prices for future orders without prior notice.

Price changes will not ordinarily affect orders that have already been accepted and paid for.

If an obvious pricing error occurs, we will contact the affected customer to explain the issue and offer an appropriate resolution in accordance with applicable law.

6. Orders and Order Acceptance

When you place an order through KOOLIO, you agree to provide accurate billing, contact and delivery information.

After placing an order, you may receive an automated order confirmation.

An automated confirmation acknowledges receipt of your order and does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted for fulfilment.

We may contact you if:

  • A product becomes unavailable.

  • Payment cannot be verified.

  • Delivery information is incomplete.

  • We reasonably suspect fraudulent activity.

  • An error affects the order.

Any cancellation or refund arising from these circumstances will be handled fairly and in accordance with applicable law.

Available payment options may change depending on the payment service providers integrated with our Shopify store.

Customers must ensure that they are authorised to use their selected payment method.

KOOLIO does not require customers to disclose their payment card PINs or online banking passwords directly to our customer support team.

Payment transactions may be subject to additional security checks performed by the relevant payment provider.

An order will generally proceed to fulfilment after successful payment confirmation, subject to product availability and other applicable conditions.

8. Shipping and Delivery

KOOLIO delivers products to eligible destinations within South Africa, as indicated during checkout.

We work with third-party fulfilment providers and suppliers, including TeemDrop, to process and dispatch certain orders.

Delivery charges and available shipping options will be displayed during checkout.

Estimated delivery times, where provided, are estimates rather than guaranteed arrival dates unless expressly stated otherwise.

Delivery may be affected by factors such as:

  • Supplier processing times.

  • Courier operations.

  • Public holidays.

  • Weather or transport disruptions.

  • Incorrect or incomplete delivery information.

  • Circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

  • Orders may be handled by independent courier services.

  • Product packaging may vary depending on fulfilment arrangements.

However, access may occasionally be interrupted due to maintenance, technical issues, hosting problems or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

We may update, modify or improve website features from time to time.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or use services provided by external companies, including Shopify, payment providers, suppliers and delivery partners.

These third parties may operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

We encourage customers to review the relevant terms when using external services.

We are not responsible for unrelated third-party websites outside our control, but remain responsible for our own legal obligations to customers.

  • Processing payments through authorised providers.

  • Preventing fraud.

  • Meeting legal and regulatory obligations.

  • Sending marketing communications where permitted by law.

We may share information necessary for fulfilment with service providers, including Shopify, payment processors, delivery partners and suppliers.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information about how personal information is collected, used, stored and protected.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, KOOLIO is not responsible for losses arising solely from circumstances outside our reasonable control or from unlawful misuse of our website or products.

However, nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable liability for unsafe or defective goods under the Consumer Protection Act.

Any limitation of liability in these Terms applies only to the extent permitted by South African law.

18. Complaints and Dispute Resolution

We encourage customers to contact KOOLIO first if they experience a problem with a product, order, refund or service.

Customer Support Email: [INSERT YOUR ACTIVE BUSINESS EMAIL]

We will make reasonable efforts to investigate and resolve complaints fairly.

If a dispute cannot be resolved directly, customers may exercise their rights through relevant South African consumer protection bodies, ombudsman schemes, regulators or courts with jurisdiction.

Nothing in these Terms prevents customers from exercising their statutory rights.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our operations, products, services or legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.

Changes will apply prospectively unless otherwise required or permitted by law.

We will not use changes to these Terms to unlawfully remove rights arising from previously concluded transactions.
