SAFTRONICS assumes no obligation to protect this information, and may copy, distribute or otherwise use the information.

PRIVACY-SOLICITED INFORMATION YOU GIVE TO SAFTRONICS

SAFTRONICS requires certain personal information necessary to process transactions if you require any of SAFTRONICS’ products or services.

SAFTRONICS receives and stores all information, including personal information, which you enter on the Website or give to SAFTRONICS, in any other way. You may choose not to provide certain personal information, but that may limit the services or products that you are able to obtain from SAFTRONICS and the Website.

In this regard, unless specifically restricted, expressly grant in writing to SAFTRONICS a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sub-licensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such information throughout the world in any media.

Your information that is required by affiliates and subsidiaries to give effect to transactions that you choose to provide, is shared with those entities.

PRIVACY – PROMOTIONAL INFORMATION

SAFTRONICS aspires to provide first-class service to its customers, which requires SAFTRONICS to provide information to you about new services or special offers. In each instance, you are provided with an opportunity to opt-out of such information circulars. For more information, please contact SAFTRONICS’ help desk, or send an email to info@SAFTRONICS.co.za.

PRIVACY – BUSINESS TRANSFERS

SAFTRONICS may enter into business arrangements and its customer base is one of its more valued assets. In such an event, your information will be one of the transferable assets.

PRIVACY-SURVEYS and STATISTICAL PROFILES

SAFTRONICS understands that efficiency and customer care translate to good service. SAFTRONICS may periodically conduct online customer care surveys to enable the updating of service standards.

When it conducts a survey, SAFTRONICS must inform you as to how the information gathered will be used, and provide you with the opportunity to opt-out from such surveys.

EXTERNAL LINKS

Whilst every effort is made to include only quality, safe and relevant external links, on the Website, you are advised to adopt a policy of caution before clicking any external web links (clickable text / banner / image links to other websites) present throughout the Website.

SAFTRONICS cannot guarantee or verify the contents of any external web links, despite its best efforts to do so. You, therefore, access external web links present on the Website entirely at your own risk.

ADVERTS and SPONSORED LINKS

The Website may contain sponsored links and adverts, which will typically be serviced by SAFTRONICS’ advertising partners, which may each have detailed privacy policies relating directly to such sponsored links or adverts.

Clicking on any sponsored link or adverts will redirect you to the relevant advertiser’s website through a referral program that may use cookies and will track the number of referrals sent from the Website. The system of tracking may include the use of cookies, which may in turn be saved on your computer’s hard drive. You should therefore note that you click on sponsored links and/or adverts at your own risk and SAFTRONICS cannot be held liable for any damage, risk, expense or loss (whether direct, indirect, special or consequential in nature) caused by you visiting any website through a sponsored link or advert.

SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media platforms in which SAFTRONICS and the Website participate are subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of each social media platform respectively.

You are advised to use social media platforms wisely and to communicate with them with due care and caution, having regard to their respective privacy and personal details policies.

SAFTRONICS will never ask for personal or sensitive information through social media platforms and encourages you to contact it through primary communication channels such as by telephone or email, should you wish to share any information personal to you.

The Website may use social sharing buttons, which help share web content directly from web pages to the social media platform concerned. You are advised before using such social sharing buttons that you do so at your own discretion and risk and that the relevant social media platform may track and save your request to share a web page through your relevant social media platform account itself.

USE OF COOKIES

The Website uses cookies to better your experience while accessing it. Where applicable, the Website uses a cookie control system allowing you, on the first occasion upon which you access the Website, to allow or disallow the use of cookies on your computer / device.

INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE

The Website contains information on SAFTRONICS’ pricing and stock levels, as well as images and specifications pertaining to its products. Whilst SAFTRONICS does its utmost to make sure that information on the Website is completely correct, situations may arise wherein the information provided on the Website does not correlate with information on SAFTRONICS’ internal system. In such instances, the information present on SAFTRONICS’ internal system shall be considered to be absolutely correct and will supersede any information provided through the Website.

For the above reasons, any information present on the Website does not, by itself, meet the requirements for a binding quotation. Any disputes raised by you wherein a screen capture of the Website is sought to be used as the only proof of a required price, will not be accommodated. If you require confirmation of a specific price or stock level, you will be required to do so by requesting a quotation through the Website. Any information provided on an official SAFTRONICS quotation sent to you via the Website may be considered binding for 7 days from the date of the quote, as stated thereupon.

Please note that when requesting a quote on an item where there is no stock available, depending on the new cost of the item from our supplier, it might be necessary for us to requote the price originally quoted. In these instances, we will give clear notification when a price cannot be kept at the same level as the original quote, and we will also provide a new quote to override the older one.

SAFTRONICS takes all reasonable efforts to accurately reflect the description, images, availability and purchase prices of goods advertised on the Website. However, should there be any errors of whatsoever nature on the Website, we shall not be liable for any loss, claim or expense relating to a transaction based on such error/s.

Your failure to correctly answer the aforesaid questions may, at SAFTRONICS’ sole discretion, result in you being denied access to the Website.

Once your account has been linked to the Website, all transactions made using the Website will be deemed to be taken on your behalf. The onus of proving otherwise shall rest on you.

You will be liable for any actions taken on the part of SAFTRONICS, due to activity on your account linked to the Website. SAFTRONICS cannot be held responsible for any fraudulent activity committed by any individual or entity which has/have logged into your account using your details and password.
