Welcome to the Industrie Africa website ("Website"). By entering our Website, you agree to these terms and conditions (the "Terms"). Please review these carefully prior to making any purchases. By using this site, you agree to comply with these Terms.


USE OF THE WEBSITE

Industrie Africa is an online service for the sale of clothing, accessories and other merchandise ("Product(s)"). “We”; “Our”; means INDUSTRIE AFRICA by Industrie Media Group, Level 6, Tower 1, Nexteracom Building, Ebene, Mauritius. We own and control the Website.

To purchase through Industrie Africa Website, you will be requested to either register or provide your email address and other details so you can checkout as a guest. The information sought will allow Industrie Africa to handle your transaction efficiently and effectively.

As payment will be made online, it is important that you enter all the requested information accurately. This will ensure that there is no delay in the dispatch of your order. The information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence. We do not share any customer data to any third parties and all customer data is held on a secure server.

The Website is available only to individuals who meet Industrie Africa terms of eligibility, who have been issued a valid payment method, i.e. a credit card etc., and who have authorised Industrie Africa to process a charge or charges on their payment method in the amount of the total purchase price for the Product(s).

By making an offer to purchase Product(s), you authorise Industrie Africa to perform credit checks and to transmit or to obtain information (including any updated information) about you to or from third parties, including but not limited to your payment card number or credit reports (and to the extent permitted by law appropriate credit reports for your spouse if you reside in a community property jurisdiction), to authenticate your identity, to validate your payment card, to obtain an initial payment card identification. We will only give your personal information to third parties where the law either requires or allows us to do so.

You agree not to impersonate any other person or entity or to use a false name or a name that you are not authorised to use.

If we reasonably suspect that information provided by you is or may be false, Industrie Africa may use the information you provide to conduct suitable anti-fraud reviews.

In case your personal information changes, please notify us by updating your information on your Industrie Africa account.

Industrie Africa may modify these Terms at our sole discretion. If you do not agree to the changes to these Terms, you should stop using this Website. By using this Website after any such change(s), you agree to comply with the Terms as changed. Any changes made after you have placed an order with us, will not affect that order, unless we are required to make the change by law. Your continued use of or access to the website following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.


MAKING A PURCHASE

Industrie Africa acts as an online marketplace that allows designers and boutiques (collectively, "Sellers") a platform to advertise and sell apparel, fashion accessories, handbags, and shoes to buyers ("Buyers") like you. When you purchase from Industrie Africa, these Terms apply and the legal contract is between you and the seller(s) of the items you have ordered. Industrie Africa acts on behalf of the seller(s).

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability.


PLACING AN ORDER

The Website contains an instructive guide that will walk you through the process of placing an order. You place your order for any selected products by clicking on the Submit Order button at the end of the online order process.

Once you have placed your order, you will receive an email acknowledging the exact details of your order.

Please note that although the Website lists available and unavailable Product(s), you may only purchase available Product(s). However, there may be occasions due to circumstances beyond Industrie Africa control, where the Product(s) that is ordered is not available. In this case the Product(s) will be cancelled from your order and will be communicated to you. You will not be charged for the Product(s).

Unless otherwise notified, Industrie Africa's acceptance of your order occurs when you receive an email notifying you that we have dispatched the Product(s) as ordered by you and noted on that communication. Acceptance will be deemed to have occurred at the sending of this communication, regardless of technical problems you may experience, where the reasons are outside Industrie Africa's control, which may result in you having not received that email in a timely manner.

If you require any information regarding your order(s), Contact a member of our Customer Service team at customercare@industrieafrica.com.

Industrie Africa may not accept your order if (without limitation):

A product you have ordered is out of stock. We are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment. Whilst every effort is made to make sure details on our website are accurate, we may from time to time discover an error in the pricing of products. If we discover an error in the pricing of a product in your order, we will let you know as soon as possible. We shall be under no obligation to accept or fulfil an order for a product that was advertised at an incorrect price and reserve the right to cancel such an order that has been accepted or is in transit. If you order a product that is priced incorrectly for any reason, we will email or telephone you to inform you that we have not accepted your order and/or that the relevant part of your order has been cancelled. If you have already paid for the goods, we shall refund the full amount as soon as we are able. In the event that products are recalled in transit, we will process your refund once the products have been returned to us.

We reserve the right to reject any offer to purchase by you at any time and at our sole discretion.

Satisfaction is always a top priority and as such each query is addressed individually to the best of our ability. All successfully returned items will be only credited to the account used originally to purchase the items, less any taxes, import duties or original shipping charges incurred and will be refunded in USD at the price you paid at the exchange rate prevailing on the day when you bought the item.
