7.2. NOTE: IceStar or the Third Party Vendor 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 IceStar or the Third Party Vendor come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from IceStar stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. IceStar will indicate the rejection of your order (by IceStar itself or the Third Party Vendor) by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
7.3. For Goods which are not personalized you may, prior to shipping or your collection of the Goods, 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.

You cannot hold IceStar or the Third Party Vendor 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.
7.9. You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited and that pricing may change at any time without notice to you.

However, we cannot guarantee the availability of stock. When Goods are no longer available after you have placed an order, IceStar will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid by you for such Goods.
7.10. In the case of Goods for sale by a Third Party Vendor, IceStar relies on inventory information supplied by the relevant Third Party Vendor and IceStar accordingly bears no liability for any inaccuracies in the information supplied to it.

12. Deal of the Day / Deal of the Week and other discounted Goods
12.1. From time to time, we may offer certain Goods at discounted prices as part of a Deal of the Day, Deal of the Week or a Bundle 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 scope of a Deal, you will pay the discounted price for that product (the “Deal Price”).
12.2. However, if you buy a product in a manner that falls outside 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.
12.3. 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.
12.4. Deal of the Day
12.4.1. At our discretion, Deal of the Day (“Deals”) are available daily from 7am – 23:59pm on weekdays and from 9am – 23:59pm on weekends. In addition, please note that Deal of the Day have a stock limit and may expire earlier if stock runs out.
12.5. Deal of the Week
12.5.1. At our discretion, Deal of the Week (“Deals”) are available from Monday 7am – Sunday 23:59pm. In addition, please note that Deal of the Week have a stock limit and may expire earlier if stock runs out.
12.6. Deals
12.6.1. Deal quantities are limited and as such, after a Deal is sold out, those particular Goods may be available on the Website at their normal selling prices (but no longer as a Deal of the Day or Deal of the Week).
12.6.2. We do not guarantee a specific saving. The extent of the Deal or discount is at the sole discretion of IceStar.
12.6.3. Only one of each Deal may be purchased per customer unless otherwise specified.
12.6.4. Adding a Deal to your cart, or completing your order for a Deal without paying for it, does not reserve the item for you. IceStar must receive payment from you within 24 hours of you placing your order for a Deal, otherwise we will cancel your order.
12.6.5. IceStar will reserve stock for customers in the order in which it receives payment. Therefore, if you pay via EFT, you might not get your item because IceStar may only receive payment from you a few days later, and in the meantime the Deal might sell out to customers paying immediately.
12.6.6. The List Price shown in respect of Deals and other discounted Goods is the recommended retail price suggested to us by the supplier of the relevant product. Where the supplier has not provided a recommended retail price, an estimate may be provided. Where a product is offered for sale by a Third Party Vendor, the List Price may be provided by the Third Party Vendor.
12.6.7. By purchasing any Deal, you are also automatically opting in for our Deal of the Day and/or Deal of the Week newsletters as well as our general newsletter (you may opt-out of these newsletters at any time). Opting out of these newsletters after purchase will not affect the value of the Goods purchased.
12.7. Bundle Deals
12.7.1. We may offer bundle deals for sale under the Bundle Deals tab on the Website (“Bundle Deals“). 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.
12.7.2. Any savings 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 savings 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 (see Shipping & Returns).
12.7.3. 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 savings 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 (see Shipping & Returns) for information about returning a Pre-packed Bundle.
13. Third Party Vendors
13.1. IceStar will indicate on relevant product pages when Goods are for sale by a Third Party Vendor. In such cases IceStar only provides the platform to facilitate transactions between Third Party Vendors and IceStar customers. IceStar is neither the buyer nor the seller of these Goods unless otherwise specified.
13.2. The Sale formed on acceptance of your order (in accordance with clause 7.2) for Goods that are for sale by a Third Party Vendor is therefore solely between the registered user and such Third Party Vendor. IceStar is not a party to that sale.
13.3. The Third Party Vendor is solely responsible for fulfilment of delivery of the Goods. The Third Party Vendor is also responsible to provide an invoice to the registered user if required.
13.4. Not all Third Party Vendors are registered VAT (Value-Added Tax) vendors. Only Third Party Vendors who are registered VAT vendors may charge VAT on Goods sold and issue a tax invoice in respect thereof. If a Third Party Vendor 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.
13.5. Because IceStar wants the registered user to have a safe and consistent experience, IceStar 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 Vendor on behalf of the Third Party Vendor according to IceStar’s own Returns Policy. Should such claim escalate into being a dispute, although IceStar is entitled to become involved in an attempt to resolve it, IceStar is not obliged to do so and any disputes must be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Vendor alone.
