  1. Conclusion of sales and availability of stock
    1. Registered users may place orders for Goods, which ActivateMe or the Third Party Seller may accept or reject. Whether or not ActivateMe or the Third Party Seller accepts an order depends on the availability of Goods, correctness of the information relating to the Goods (including without limitation the price) and receipt of payment or payment authorisation by ActivateMe for the Goods.
    2. NOTE: ActivateMe or the Third Party Seller will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods to you or allowing you to collect them, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and ActivateMe or the Third Party Seller come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from ActivateMe stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. ActivateMe will indicate the rejection of your order (by ActivateMe itself or the Third Party Seller) by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
    3. Prior to delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may cancel an order at any time provided you do so before receiving a dispatch or delivery notice. After delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may return the Goods only in accordance with the Returns Policy.
    4. Any order of a televisionwill be subject to the condition that we obtain from you your valid TV licence number and your account holder ID. If we do not receive your TV licence number and your account holder ID, or your TV licence number cannot be validated, you will not be able to check out with the television in your shopping basket.
    5. Placing Goods in a wishlist or shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such Goods, and as such, Goods may be removed from the shopping basket  if stock is no longer available or the price thereof might change without notice to you. You cannot hold ActivateMe or the Third Party Seller liable if such Goods are not available or are not available at the particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.
    6. 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 ActivateMe, ActivateMe 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 you have placed an order, ActivateMe will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid by you for such Goods. 
    7. In the case of Goods for sale by a Third Party Seller, ActivateMe relies on inventory information supplied by the relevant Third Party Seller and ActivateMe accordingly bears no liability for any inaccuracies in the information supplied to it.Consequently, should you order any Goods from a Third Party Seller which are in fact sold-out, any resulting dispute should be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Seller, your respective rights and obligations being as set out in these Terms and Conditions.
    8. Certain Goods may not be purchased for re-sale. Should we suspect that any such Goods are being purchased for sale, we are entitled to cancel your order immediately on notice to you.
    9. Please see details relating to Pre-orders in our Help Centre: Pre-Order, which are incorporated by reference.

  1. Errors
    1. 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. 
    2. ActivateMe shall not be bound by any incorrect information regarding our Goods displayed on any third party websites.

 

  1. Gift Vouchers & Coupons
    1. ActivateMe may from time to time make physical or electronic gift vouchers (“Gift Vouchers”) and promotional coupons or discounts (“Coupons”) available for use on the Website towards the purchase of ActivateMe Goods. Gift Vouchers and Coupons can only be redeemed while they are valid and their expiry dates cannot be extended. More specifically:
    2. Gift Vouchers
      1. Gift Vouchers that are purchased by registered users are valid for 3 years after Sale. Gift Vouchers that ActivateMe gives away for free are valid for the period stated thereon. In each case, if your Voucher has not been used within that period, it will expire.
      2. Gift Vouchers cannot be used to buy other Gift Vouchers or Coupons. They do not accrue interest and are not refundable for cash once purchased or otherwise obtained. If your Gift Voucher value is less than the amount required to cover the full order you wish to place, you may make up the difference by paying via one of our other payment methods.
      3. ActivateMe is not responsible for any harm due to the loss, unauthorised use or unauthorised distribution of a Gift Voucher, after it has delivered the Gift Voucher to you or the email address nominated by you.

 

  1. Coupons
    1. There are two types of Coupons; a Coupon with a fixed amount of a discount, e.g. R100 off (“FixedCoupon“), and a Coupon with a percentage discount, e.g. 10% off (“Percentage Coupon“).
    2. Coupons are issued in ActivateMe’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.
    3. As a general rule, and unless specified otherwise on the specific Coupon itself:
      1. each Coupon can only be used once;
      2. only one Coupon can be used per order;
      3. only one Coupon can be used on the Website per person per promotion/campaign;
      4. Percentage Coupons may only be redeemed on purchases with a total cart value of less than R5,000;
      5. where a Percentage Coupon has been used and you wish to cancel any items in the order prior to making payment, the entire order must be cancelled. You will be issued with a new Percentage Coupon and will need to place the order again, without the item that you wished to cancel;
      6. a Coupon must be used at check-out – it cannot be used later on existing orders; and
      7. 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.
    4. Coupons cannot be used to buy Gift Vouchers or other Coupons, and cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash or credit. ActivateMe is not responsible for any harm due to the loss, unauthorised use or distribution of a Coupon.
    5. If for any reason a Coupon does not reflect on the final amount due from you at check-out, you can contact us here to confirm if the Coupon is still valid.  If ActivateMe confirms that the Coupon is still valid and you have already placed your order, you can choose whether to cancel the order and place it again with the Coupon, or you can use the Coupon on your next order within the limitations of the specific Coupon’s terms and conditions.
    6. You may be required to submit the original communication containing the Coupon code, and any other information reasonably requested by ActivateMe, before you are able to use a Coupon.
    7. Click here for instructions on how to use/redeem a promotional coupon.
  2. Daily Deals and other discounted Goods
    1. From time to time, we may offer certain Goods at discounted prices as part of a Daily Deal, App Only Deal, Bundle Deal or any other temporary deal which are explained below (each a “Deal”). These will be subject to certain conditions (as set out in these Terms and/or the Website), which define the scope of the Deal. If you buy a product within the scopeof a Deal, you will pay the discounted price for that product (the “Deal Price”).
    2. However, if you buy a product in a manner that fallsoutside of the scope of a Deal, then you will pay the then current (non-Deal) selling price on the Website (the “Normal Price”), for each product that falls outside the scope of the Deal.
    3. For example: if you buy more than one product in a Daily Deal, you will pay the Deal Price for the first product, but the Normal Price for all products thereafter. Alternatively, if you buy a product in combination with any other products that together do not constitute a Bundle Deal, you will pay the Normal Price for all such products falling outside the scope of the relevant Deal.

 

  1. Bundle Deals
    1. We may from time to time offer bundle deals for sale under the Bundle Deals tab on the Website (“BundleDeals“). Each Bundle Deal will consist of two or more products that either we or you (as provided on the Website) have combined together in a single bundle.
    2. Any saving or discount resulting from purchasing a Bundle Deal instead of its component products separately may be applied to any of the component products individually in our sole discretion. The actual purchase price (after applying any applicable saving or discount) of each component product will be communicated to you upon checkout and reflected in your order history. This is relevant to the amount that would be refunded to you, if you were to return any product in a Bundle Deal for a refund, in accordance with our Returns Policy.
    3. A Bundle Deal should be distinguished from a pre-packed bundle compiled by our supplier and supplied to us as a single unit (“Pre-packed Bundles“). Any saving or discount in respect of a Pre-packed Bundle will be applied only to the total bundle price and not to the prices of the individual component products. Please refer to our Returns Policy for information about returning a Pre-packed Bundle.

 

  1. Online Course Codes
    1. An “Online Course” is a form of distance learning which allows you to develop your skills and knowledge on a certain topic, via the internet. In order to complete an online course, you need to have your own email account and access to the internet. You do not need to attend classes or visit an education campus. On completion, you will typically receive a digital certificate. Some online courses may require you to complete an assessment (also done online) to complete the course. Online Courses are accessible by means of an Online Course Code.
    2. An “Online Course Code” is a unique digital code that can be redeemed on the respective websites of certain Online Course providers. Upon redeeming the Online Course Code on the website of such Online Course providers, you will either be enrolled for the particular course automatically, or you will be given credit on the Online Course provider’s website which will enable you to enrol for the particular course you have purchased. Your access to any Online Course Code purchased by you from us will be granted via the unique digital code that will be sent to you by email, to the email address we have on file.
    3. IMPORTANT – Limitations relating to Online Course Codes

For information on speed of delivery please refer to clause 12.4.1 above. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS:
        1. So as to reduce the risk of fraud, Online Course providers limit the number of times any Online Course Code can be applied to one application and you acknowledge that usage of the Online Course Code may become blocked after your first use so as to prevent fraud;
        2. Access to the Online Course may be denied if you have completed the Online Course, or ActivateMe has removed it pursuant to your having ‘returned’ the Online Course (if possible in accordance with ActivateMe’s Returns Policy pertaining to Online Course Codes from time to time);
        3. ActivateMe does not guarantee that Online Course providers will make their Online Courses available for download and use indefinitely and ActivateMe accepts no responsibility or liability to you or any other person if, upon your utilising the Online Course Code, the relevant Online Course is no longer available, provided that, if you discover and report such a problem within 6 months of your receipt of the Online Course Code, you will be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price paid therefor.
      2. We do not charge any delivery fees for electronic delivery of the relevant Online Course Code, however, you may incur costs (eg internet service provider fees) associated with accessing and using the Online Course, and we will not under any circumstances be liable for any such costs incurred by you.
      3. Practical issues to note in utilising the Online Course Code:

        2. By utilising the Online Course Code on the relevant Online Service provider’s website you may be required to sign up and register on an Online Course provider website, which you acknowledge is in no way affiliated, associated with or linked to ActivateMe.
        3. If you have any problems relating to the usage of your Online Course Code, please report same to us hereso that we can assist you in resolving the problem.
      4. Return of Online Course Codes: please refer to our Returns Policy.
      5. Illegal use of Online Course Codes:
        1. By purchasing any Online Course Code and/or accessing any Online Courses you acknowledge and agree that the provisions of 12.6.1-12.6.3 are applicable to the usage and access thereof.
        2. You hereby acknowledge and agree to these Terms and Conditions and undertake that you shall not do nor try to do any of the Illegal Activities. You hereby indemnify ActivateMe from any and all loss, damage, or expense it may suffer or from claims which may be made by third parties against ActivateMe which arise from or in relation to your having participated in any Illegal Activities in relation to any Online Course Code sold by ActivateMe.
      6. For more information and assistance, please refer to our Help Centre: Product and Stock, which are incorporated by reference.

 

  1. Third Party Sellers
    1. ActivateMe will indicate on relevant product pages and checkout pages when Goods are for sale by a Third Party Seller. In such cases ActivateMe only provides the platform to facilitate transactions between Third Party Sellers and ActivateMe customers. ActivateMe is neither the buyer nor the seller of these Goods unless otherwise specified.
    2. The Sale formed on acceptance of your order (in accordance with clause 5.2) for Goods that are for sale by a Third Party Seller is therefore solely between the registered user and such Third Party Seller. ActivateMe is not a party to that sale.
    3. The Third Party Seller is solely responsible for fulfilment of delivery of the Goods. The Third Party Seller is also responsible to provide an invoice to the registered user if required.
    4. Not all Third Party Sellers are registered VAT (Value-Added Tax) vendors. Only Third Party Sellers who are registered VAT vendors may charge VAT on Goods sold and issue a tax invoice in respect thereof. If a Third Party Seller is not a registered VAT Vendor, it may not charge VAT on Goods sold and will not be in a position to issue a tax invoice in respect thereof.
    5. Because ActivateMe wants the registered user to have a safe and consistent experience, ActivateMe will handle any returns under the CPA or the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 2002 (“ECT Act”), by the registered user arising out of or in connection with the Sale between a registered user and a Third Party Seller on behalf of the Third Party Seller according to ActivateMe’s own Returns Policy. Should such claim escalate into being a dispute, although ActivateMe is entitled to become involved in an attempt to resolve it, ActivateMe is not obliged to do so and any disputes must be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Seller alone.

                1. Conclusion of sales and availability of stock
                  1. Registered users may place orders for Goods, which ActivateMe or the Third Party Seller may accept or reject. Whether or not ActivateMe or the Third Party Seller accepts an order depends on the availability of Goods, correctness of the information relating to the Goods (including without limitation the price) and receipt of payment or payment authorisation by ActivateMe for the Goods.
                  2. NOTE: ActivateMe or the Third Party Seller will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods to you or allowing you to collect them, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and ActivateMe or the Third Party Seller come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from ActivateMe stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. ActivateMe will indicate the rejection of your order (by ActivateMe itself or the Third Party Seller) by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
                  3. Prior to delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may cancel an order at any time provided you do so before receiving a dispatch or delivery notice. After delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may return the Goods only in accordance with the Returns Policy.
                  4. Any order of a televisionwill be subject to the condition that we obtain from you your valid TV licence number and your account holder ID. If we do not receive your TV licence number and your account holder ID, or your TV licence number cannot be validated, you will not be able to check out with the television in your shopping basket.
                  5. Placing Goods in a wishlist or shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such Goods, and as such, Goods may be removed from the shopping basket  if stock is no longer available or the price thereof might change without notice to you. You cannot hold ActivateMe or the Third Party Seller liable if such Goods are not available or are not available at the particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.
                  6. 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 ActivateMe, ActivateMe 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 you have placed an order, ActivateMe will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid by you for such Goods. 
                  7. In the case of Goods for sale by a Third Party Seller, ActivateMe relies on inventory information supplied by the relevant Third Party Seller and ActivateMe accordingly bears no liability for any inaccuracies in the information supplied to it.Consequently, should you order any Goods from a Third Party Seller which are in fact sold-out, any resulting dispute should be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Seller, your respective rights and obligations being as set out in these Terms and Conditions.
                  8. Certain Goods may not be purchased for re-sale. Should we suspect that any such Goods are being purchased for sale, we are entitled to cancel your order immediately on notice to you.
                  9. Please see details relating to Pre-orders in our Help Centre: Pre-Order, which are incorporated by reference.

We will notify you if we are unable to deliver the Goods during the Delivery Period. You may then, within 7 (seven) 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.
                  4. ActivateMe’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. ActivateMe 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.

                 

                1. Errors
                  1. 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. 
                  2. ActivateMe shall not be bound by any incorrect information regarding our Goods displayed on any third party websites.

                 

                1. Gift Vouchers & Coupons
                  1. ActivateMe may from time to time make physical or electronic gift vouchers (“Gift Vouchers”) and promotional coupons or discounts (“Coupons”) available for use on the Website towards the purchase of ActivateMe Goods. Gift Vouchers and Coupons can only be redeemed while they are valid and their expiry dates cannot be extended. More specifically:
                  2. Gift Vouchers
                    1. Gift Vouchers that are purchased by registered users are valid for 3 years after Sale. Gift Vouchers that ActivateMe gives away for free are valid for the period stated thereon. In each case, if your Voucher has not been used within that period, it will expire.
                    2. Gift Vouchers cannot be used to buy other Gift Vouchers or Coupons. They do not accrue interest and are not refundable for cash once purchased or otherwise obtained. If your Gift Voucher value is less than the amount required to cover the full order you wish to place, you may make up the difference by paying via one of our other payment methods.
                    3. ActivateMe is not responsible for any harm due to the loss, unauthorised use or unauthorised distribution of a Gift Voucher, after it has delivered the Gift Voucher to you or the email address nominated by you.

                 

                1. Coupons
                  1. There are two types of Coupons; a Coupon with a fixed amount of a discount, e.g. R100 off (“FixedCoupon“), and a Coupon with a percentage discount, e.g. 10% off (“Percentage Coupon“).
                  2. Coupons are issued in ActivateMe’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.
                  3. As a general rule, and unless specified otherwise on the specific Coupon itself:
                    1. each Coupon can only be used once;
                    2. only one Coupon can be used per order;
                    3. only one Coupon can be used on the Website per person per promotion/campaign;
                    4. Percentage Coupons may only be redeemed on purchases with a total cart value of less than R5,000;
                    5. where a Percentage Coupon has been used and you wish to cancel any items in the order prior to making payment, the entire order must be cancelled. You will be issued with a new Percentage Coupon and will need to place the order again, without the item that you wished to cancel;
                    6. a Coupon must be used at check-out – it cannot be used later on existing orders; and
                    7. 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.
                  4. Coupons cannot be used to buy Gift Vouchers or other Coupons, and cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash or credit. ActivateMe is not responsible for any harm due to the loss, unauthorised use or distribution of a Coupon.
                  5. If for any reason a Coupon does not reflect on the final amount due from you at check-out, you can contact us here to confirm if the Coupon is still valid.  If ActivateMe confirms that the Coupon is still valid and you have already placed your order, you can choose whether to cancel the order and place it again with the Coupon, or you can use the Coupon on your next order within the limitations of the specific Coupon’s terms and conditions.
                  6. You may be required to submit the original communication containing the Coupon code, and any other information reasonably requested by ActivateMe, before you are able to use a Coupon.
                  7. Click here for instructions on how to use/redeem a promotional coupon.
                2. Daily Deals and other discounted Goods
                  1. From time to time, we may offer certain Goods at discounted prices as part of a Daily Deal, App Only Deal, Bundle Deal or any other temporary deal which are explained below (each a “Deal”). These will be subject to certain conditions (as set out in these Terms and/or the Website), which define the scope of the Deal. If you buy a product within the scopeof a Deal, you will pay the discounted price for that product (the “Deal Price”).
                  2. However, if you buy a product in a manner that fallsoutside of the scope of a Deal, then you will pay the then current (non-Deal) selling price on the Website (the “Normal Price”), for each product that falls outside the scope of the Deal.
                  3. For example: if you buy more than one product in a Daily Deal, you will pay the Deal Price for the first product, but the Normal Price for all products thereafter. Alternatively, if you buy a product in combination with any other products that together do not constitute a Bundle Deal, you will pay the Normal Price for all such products falling outside the scope of the relevant Deal.

                 

                1. Bundle Deals
                  1. We may from time to time offer bundle deals for sale under the Bundle Deals tab on the Website (“BundleDeals“). Each Bundle Deal will consist of two or more products that either we or you (as provided on the Website) have combined together in a single bundle.
                  2. Any saving or discount resulting from purchasing a Bundle Deal instead of its component products separately may be applied to any of the component products individually in our sole discretion. The actual purchase price (after applying any applicable saving or discount) of each component product will be communicated to you upon checkout and reflected in your order history. This is relevant to the amount that would be refunded to you, if you were to return any product in a Bundle Deal for a refund, in accordance with our Returns Policy.
                  3. A Bundle Deal should be distinguished from a pre-packed bundle compiled by our supplier and supplied to us as a single unit (“Pre-packed Bundles“). Any saving or discount in respect of a Pre-packed Bundle will be applied only to the total bundle price and not to the prices of the individual component products. Please refer to our Returns Policy for information about returning a Pre-packed Bundle.

                 

                1. Online Course Codes
                  1. An “Online Course” is a form of distance learning which allows you to develop your skills and knowledge on a certain topic, via the internet. In order to complete an online course, you need to have your own email account and access to the internet. You do not need to attend classes or visit an education campus. On completion, you will typically receive a digital certificate. Some online courses may require you to complete an assessment (also done online) to complete the course. Online Courses are accessible by means of an Online Course Code.
                  2. An “Online Course Code” is a unique digital code that can be redeemed on the respective websites of certain Online Course providers. Upon redeeming the Online Course Code on the website of such Online Course providers, you will either be enrolled for the particular course automatically, or you will be given credit on the Online Course provider’s website which will enable you to enrol for the particular course you have purchased. Your access to any Online Course Code purchased by you from us will be granted via the unique digital code that will be sent to you by email, to the email address we have on file.
                  3. IMPORTANT – Limitations relating to Online Course Codes
                    1. You will not be able to use Online Course Codes and / or access Online Courses through the ActivateMe website. You will have to utilise the Online Course Code and Online Course through the relevant Online Course provider’s website.
                    2. You will need to be connected to the internet when you use an Online Course Code and / or access the Online Course. Subsequent usage and access thereof will be subject to the specific Online Course provider’s website usage restrictions.
                  4. Ordering Online Course Codes: when ordering Online Course Codes from us, you will be ordering the right to access an Online Course from the relevant Online Course provider, on their website. Consequently, if ActivateMe accepts your order, delivery will take place electronically via the internet as described below:
                    1. Where ActivateMe accepts your order, upon receipt of confirmation of payment, we will obtain your Online Course Code to the relevant Online Course and deliver it to you via the email we have on file. For information on speed of delivery please refer to clause 12.4.1 above. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS:
                      1. So as to reduce the risk of fraud, Online Course providers limit the number of times any Online Course Code can be applied to one application and you acknowledge that usage of the Online Course Code may become blocked after your first use so as to prevent fraud;
                      2. Access to the Online Course may be denied if you have completed the Online Course, or ActivateMe has removed it pursuant to your having ‘returned’ the Online Course (if possible in accordance with ActivateMe’s Returns Policy pertaining to Online Course Codes from time to time);
                      3. ActivateMe does not guarantee that Online Course providers will make their Online Courses available for download and use indefinitely and ActivateMe accepts no responsibility or liability to you or any other person if, upon your utilising the Online Course Code, the relevant Online Course is no longer available, provided that, if you discover and report such a problem within 6 months of your receipt of the Online Course Code, you will be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price paid therefor.
                    2. We do not charge any delivery fees for electronic delivery of the relevant Online Course Code, however, you may incur costs (eg internet service provider fees) associated with accessing and using the Online Course, and we will not under any circumstances be liable for any such costs incurred by you.
                    3. Practical issues to note in utilising the Online Course Code:
                      1. The Online Course Code is your unique code as allocated by the Online Course provider for a particular Online Course.
                      2. By utilising the Online Course Code on the relevant Online Service provider’s website you may be required to sign up and register on an Online Course provider website, which you acknowledge is in no way affiliated, associated with or linked to ActivateMe.
                      3. If you have any problems relating to the usage of your Online Course Code, please report same to us hereso that we can assist you in resolving the problem.
                    4. Return of Online Course Codes: please refer to our Returns Policy.
                    5. Illegal use of Online Course Codes:
                      1. By purchasing any Online Course Code and/or accessing any Online Courses you acknowledge and agree that the provisions of 12.6.1-12.6.3 are applicable to the usage and access thereof.
                      2. You hereby acknowledge and agree to these Terms and Conditions and undertake that you shall not do nor try to do any of the Illegal Activities. You hereby indemnify ActivateMe from any and all loss, damage, or expense it may suffer or from claims which may be made by third parties against ActivateMe which arise from or in relation to your having participated in any Illegal Activities in relation to any Online Course Code sold by ActivateMe.
                    6. For more information and assistance, please refer to our Help Centre: Product and Stock, which are incorporated by reference.

                 

                1. Third Party Sellers
                  1. ActivateMe will indicate on relevant product pages and checkout pages when Goods are for sale by a Third Party Seller. In such cases ActivateMe only provides the platform to facilitate transactions between Third Party Sellers and ActivateMe customers. ActivateMe is neither the buyer nor the seller of these Goods unless otherwise specified.
                  2. The Sale formed on acceptance of your order (in accordance with clause 5.2) for Goods that are for sale by a Third Party Seller is therefore solely between the registered user and such Third Party Seller. ActivateMe is not a party to that sale.
                  3. The Third Party Seller is solely responsible for fulfilment of delivery of the Goods. The Third Party Seller is also responsible to provide an invoice to the registered user if required.
                  4. Not all Third Party Sellers are registered VAT (Value-Added Tax) vendors. Only Third Party Sellers who are registered VAT vendors may charge VAT on Goods sold and issue a tax invoice in respect thereof. If a Third Party Seller is not a registered VAT Vendor, it may not charge VAT on Goods sold and will not be in a position to issue a tax invoice in respect thereof.
                  5. Because ActivateMe wants the registered user to have a safe and consistent experience, ActivateMe will handle any returns under the CPA or the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 2002 (“ECT Act”), by the registered user arising out of or in connection with the Sale between a registered user and a Third Party Seller on behalf of the Third Party Seller according to ActivateMe’s own Returns Policy. Should such claim escalate into being a dispute, although ActivateMe is entitled to become involved in an attempt to resolve it, ActivateMe is not obliged to do so and any disputes must be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Seller alone.
                2. Privacy policy
                  1. We respect your privacy and will take all reasonable measures to protect it, as more fully detailed in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.
