Full name & legal status: [●]
Registration number: [●]
Physical address: [●]

(We display key supplier information to meet South African e-commerce requirements.)
2) Products and services
We supply and deliver:
- LPG gas cylinders (including refill/exchange where applicable)
- LPG-related accessories (e.g., regulators, hoses, clips, fittings, heaters/cookers where offered)
- Delivery services within our defined service areas
3) Quotes, pricing, and availability
- Prices are shown in ZAR and may change without notice.
- Specials/promotions run for limited times or while stock lasts.
- If a listed price is clearly incorrect due to an error, we may cancel the order and refund you.
- Stock availability is not guaranteed until your order is confirmed.
4) Orders
When you place an order, you make an offer to purchase. We accept the order when we:
- confirm the order by email/SMS/WhatsApp, and/or
- dispatch the order for delivery.
We may refuse or cancel orders (for example, suspected fraud, out-of-service-area addresses, or unsafe delivery conditions).
5) Payments
We may offer one or more of the following payment methods:
- Card payments via a secure payment gateway
- EFT
- Cash on delivery (if available)
If your payment fails or is reversed, we may pause or cancel delivery.
6) Delivery areas, scheduling, and access
- Deliveries are limited to our posted service areas.
- Delivery times are estimates and can change due to traffic, weather, supply constraints, or operational delays.
- You must provide accurate delivery details and ensure safe access (security gate codes, parking instructions, contact number).
- If we cannot complete delivery due to incorrect details, no access, or unsafe conditions, we may charge a reasonable re-delivery fee.
7) Cylinder exchange, deposits, and ownership
- Where you order an exchange cylinder, you may be required to provide an empty cylinder of the same type/size or pay a deposit (if offered).
- Some cylinders in the market are provided on an exchange basis and may be marked “never sold”; cylinders may remain the property of the brand/owner and cannot legally be filled by unauthorised parties.
- You agree not to request or encourage any unsafe or unlawful handling/filling practices.
8) Safety and compliance
LPG is a flammable product and must be used responsibly.
- You agree to store and use cylinders according to manufacturer instructions and applicable safety standards.
- If our driver believes the site is unsafe (e.g., leaks, illegal setup, flames nearby, poor ventilation, unsafe access), delivery may be refused until it is safe.
- We recommend using reputable suppliers and safety-checked cylinders and equipment.
9) Returns and refunds (accessories)
Accessories (non-gas, non-cylinder)
- You may return accessories in unused condition with original packaging within [X] days of delivery, subject to inspection.
- Certain items may be non-returnable for hygiene/safety reasons (e.g., opened sealants), if stated on the product page.
- Refunds are processed to the original payment method where possible.
Gas / filled cylinders
- Due to safety and product nature, filled gas cylinders typically cannot be returned once delivered and accepted, unless there is a verified defect or delivery error.
- If you believe a cylinder is defective or you received the wrong item, contact us immediately on [phone/email].
10) Cooling-off / cancellations for online transactions (South Africa)
For many online purchases, South Africa’s Electronic Communications and Transactions Act provides a 7-day cooling-off period, but there are exceptions (for example, where performance has started with your consent, or where goods can’t realistically be returned).
Because LPG delivery involves time-sensitive logistics and safety constraints, the cooling-off right may not apply once delivery has been scheduled and/or the goods/services have been provided (or started with your consent). If you want to cancel, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll confirm what’s possible in your specific case.
11) Warranties and Consumer Protection Act
Nothing in these Terms removes rights you may have under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA). Where goods are defective or not as described, we will address this according to applicable law and our returns process.
12) Website use
You agree not to:
- misuse the website (hacking, scraping, spreading malware)
- submit false orders or impersonate others
- use the site unlawfully or to harm others
13) Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law:
- We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses (e.g., lost profits, business interruption).
- Our total liability for a proven claim relating to an order is limited to the amount you paid for that order.
- We are not responsible for losses arising from unsafe installation, misuse, unauthorised modifications, or ignoring safety instructions.
14) Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your unlawful use of the website or unsafe handling/use of LPG products contrary to safety guidance.
15) Privacy
Your personal information is handled according to our Privacy Policy.
16) Changes to these Terms
