5.2 Product Descriptions: Product description is for marketing purposes only and are presented in a simple easy-to-understand format. Product descriptions on this website are by no means exhaustive technical specifications. Some descriptive terms may be used in a broad sense or for specific purposes only.
5.3 Colour Descriptions: Descriptions and depictions of colour may not be 100% accurate. Some colours, especially earthy tones are especially difficult to accurately describe and/or depict. Colour descriptions pertain to colour only, and does not describe the actual materials (e.g., wooden items described as ‘teak’ in colour does not infer the wood type is teak).
5.4 Materials: Where a product description describes a product to be manufactured from a specific material such as ‘solid wood’ or ‘oak’, this only refers to the most notable aspect of the product and does not necessarily imply that every part of the product is manufactured from this material. For example, items described to be manufactured from ‘solid wood’ may feature some other materials, e.g., knobs of steel, interior panels, or drawer interiors from melawood. Where broad terms are used, such as, but not limited to ‘wood,’ this may cover various forms of wood, including solid woods, veneers, MDF, etc. The same shall apply to other materials.
6.1 All prices advertised on our website are denominated in South African Rands and includes VAT of 15%.

6.3 All items of ietsMois are manufactured in Groblersdal. Consequently, a lead time will apply when placing an order either in-store or online.

Nonetheless, certain products are readily available. These items will be clearly indicated on the website and/or communicated to customers in-store. Even though every care will be taken to comply with the projected lead times, such lead times might be subject to potential fluctuations. An additional waiting period for products that are custom made might also be applicable.
7. Delivery and Inspection of Goods
7.1 Prices advertised on this website shall exclude delivery charges unless otherwise specified.
7.2 No orders shall be dispatched until payment has cleared in our account.
7.3 Depending on the size of the order and the exact delivery location, our standard delivery period is approximately:
7.3.1 5 – 6 weeks for furniture;
7.3.2 6-10 weeks for a custom order;
7.3.3 7 – 14 days for an in stock, furniture order.
7.4 Deliveries to remote or far outlying areas not regularly serviced by our contracted service providers may take longer than our standard delivery timeframe. Longer delivery periods may also apply to orders placed during or leading up to Black Friday and festive season trading (15 November to 31 December). ietsMois shall not accept any liability for any claims resulting from any losses or damages as a result of a delayed delivery of any order or part of an order.
.
7.5 Deliveries shall be done on weekdays during the courier/transporter’s standard daytime service hours. After hour deliveries shall be subject to surcharges. In the event where goods have been shipped out via third party delivery service provider, and a reasonable number of delivery arrangements and/or attempts are proven to be unsuccessful due to customer not responding, unreachable or not cooperating, goods will be returned to our warehouse and customer may be held liable for the return transport costs incurred.
7.6 Delivery fees include delivery to most towns and cities within the borders of South Africa. In some cases, couriers may require a surcharge to deliver to areas considered to be remote or high-risk. Deliveries to outlying areas such as farms or small towns may also be subject to additional charges. Should this be the case, the customer shall be contacted to discuss surcharges or alternative delivery options. Should an agreement not be reached between us and the customer, we reserve the right to cancel the order and refund the customer in full.
7.7 It shall be the customer’s responsibility to properly inspect delivered goods. If packaging and/or products shows visible damages, it is advised to make a clear note of such damages on the waybill when signing for the goods.
7.8 Customers should ensure that the correct number of cartons and/or products as indicated on the waybill are received before signing the waybill. The number of cartons may not correspond to the number of items you have purchased as more than one item may be packaged in a single carton. The number of packages/cartons/pieces as indicated on the waybill should be verified by the customer or his representative before signing receipt of the goods. Customers should never sign as having received more packages as what was delivered as this could jeopardise any claim the customer may have related to short delivery of goods ordered.
7.9 Delivery is only guaranteed to be delivered to the delivery address supplied by the customer. Verification of the identity of the person receiving goods may not always be done by the transporter. Individuals accepting the goods at the delivery address on the date of delivery shall be considered authorised by the customer to receive delivery on their behalf and shall also be responsible to perform the duties of checking for damages or shortages as per clauses 7.7 and 7.8 above.
7.10 Any discrepancies, damages or shortages on any delivery, including erroneous delivery, must be reported to us within 48 hours from time of delivery by submitting this claim using our contact us section at the bottom of the home page.

7.11 Unless otherwise specified, delivery of orders shall be handled by contracted third-party delivery service providers. Delivery shall be made strictly on a ‘door-to-door’ basis. Delivery shall not include installation of products, removing products from packaging, clearing areas, re-arranging furniture, hoisting products over balconies or through windows, removing and refitting railings or doors or other barriers, discarding packaging or any other special service required by the customer. Should the delivery service provider or any of his employees agree to any of these or other services other than delivering a packaged product to the door, this shall be strictly at the risk and cost of the customer and ietsMois does not take any responsibility for any damages, losses or other claim resulting from these additional services.
8.1 Unless otherwise specified, all products purchased from ietsMois come with a 14-day money-back satisfaction guarantee. This guarantee shall be calculated from the delivery date of the goods.

8.7 Products returned must be adequately packaged in the original packaging and be in as-new condition. Where original packaging was discarded, it shall be the customer’s responsibility to ensure the item is packaged adequately to avoid damage in transit. Our contracted third-party couriers do not offer packaging services and may refuse to accept products without adequate packaging. In the event where our transporters collect an item not packaged properly, or where they assisted the customer with packaging, this shall be done at the customer’s own risk. It is advised that customers take adequate photos of the products they wish to return (covering all areas and angles) as ietsMois will keep the customer liable for any damages to the product when received.
8.8 Products returned without original packaging materials may be subject to the deduction of reasonable surcharges of up to 15% of the purchase price.
8.9 Products returned for refund shall be inspected thoroughly for damages or other discrepancies. ietsMois reserves the right to levy reasonable and appropriate surcharges or handling fees to compensate for missing components or items returned not in good condition.
8.10 Refunds may take up to 14 (fourteen) days from date of receipt of returned goods, subject to the return meeting the criteria for refund. Where ietsMois has determined deductions or surcharges to be deducted from the refund, such amounts shall be communicated to the customer and only after agreement on the final refund amount has been reached will refunds be processed for payment.
8.11 Where payments were made by credit card, refunds will be made through a payment reversal into the credit card.
