    • You agree that we may track your bank account and re-present the payment instruction when you have sufficient funds available in the event that you do not have sufficient funds available at the debit order date.
    • You may not cancel your debit order instruction until the full amount due in terms of the debit order authorisation has been settled.
    • You may not close your bank account until the full amount due in terms of the debit order authorisation has been settled, unless you provide us with details of another bank account from where we can raise the debit order.

You must be logged in to your account in order to use a discount code. We will not be able to apply a discount code to an order after it has been processed, and no refunds will be given. If you wish to apply a discount code to an item that you have on back order then the order will need to be placed again, (and postage paid again) as we are unable to apply a discount to an order that we have already received and charged for.
  4. Delivery and Exchange
    • Subject to availability and receipt of payment, BIBO will aim to contact all customers within 24 business hours of ordering to arrange delivery and in certain cases installation as well. During busy periods this may take slightly longer.
    • Certain Products may require installation, which cost will be over and above the purchase price, as indicated on the Website. These installation charges are subject to increase, and any installation costs will be confirmed at the time of booking the installation.
    • The Products that require installation are subject to change, and should a Product purchase require installation, you will be notified accordingly.
    • We will contact you to arrange your delivery and in certain cases your installation as well, anywhere within South Africa.

      You may be entitled to a refund or replacement where goods are faulty or not as described. If the item is damaged or faulty, we will cover the transportation cost within South Africa of sending the item back to us. Please ensure that if you are sending anything back to us that you request a proof of postage, as we will not be liable for items lost in transit on their way back to us without proof of postage. If you wish to return an item which is not damaged or faulty, then you can return the item for a refund or exchange, provided the goods are in their original packaging and condition, but this is done at your own cost and original postage paid will not be refunded. If you have requested a refund, this will be processed within 30 days of receipt of your returned items. If this refund is made directly to your credit card this should appear on your next credit card statement. If you have returned an item, we ask that you allow up to 14 working days for the item to be received back with us and to be processed by our returns department, before you query the return.
