18.1 Although we make every effort to meet the specified lead times for the delivery of products or completion of services, these timeframes are estimates and may be affected by factors beyond our control. Unforeseen circumstances such as adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, or other unpredictable events may result in delays.
18.2 For custom development projects or branded products that require client-provided materials (e.g., content for app development or artwork for branding), the lead time is subject to receiving these materials in a timely manner. Any delay in providing the required content or approving job cards may extend the lead time.
18.3 For example, if we estimate a website development project to take two weeks, that estimate is based on receiving all necessary content and approvals within the first few days. However, if the client takes an additional week to provide content, the lead time may extend to three weeks or more, depending on other work orders and projects we are processing. Once content is delayed, other projects with completed inputs may take priority, further affecting the initial estimate.
18.4 While manufacturing and development lead times can be more difficult to determine for custom or complex products, we aim to provide more accurate and reliable lead times for standard branding products that are in stock. Stocked products typically have more predictable and shorter lead times, ensuring timely delivery.
18.5 We will communicate any potential delays as soon as they become apparent and work closely with the client to adjust expectations and timelines where necessary.
19.1 Our stock management system is integrated with third-party warehousing and supplier feeds to provide real-time stock availability on our website. However, due to the nature of third-party integrations, stock synchronization may occasionally experience delays.
19.2 In rare cases, it is possible for a client to place an order for a product that appears to be in stock, while the same item is being simultaneously purchased by another customer. If the stock levels have not been updated in real-time due to this synchronization lag, it may result in the product being out of stock after your order has been confirmed.
19.3 In the event that such an issue arises, we will notify you as soon as possible and provide the option to either wait for a restock, select an alternative product, or receive a full refund for the out-of-stock item.
19.4 While we strive to keep stock levels accurate and updated, we cannot guarantee the availability of all products at all times due to the reliance on third-party systems.
20.1 We take the security of your personal and financial information very seriously. However, it is important to be aware of potential fraudulent activities where individuals or entities may attempt to impersonate our company in order to solicit funds or sensitive information from you.
20.2 The Youth Mall (PTY) Ltd. T/A Online Brand 24 will never request sensitive information, such as payment details or passwords, via email or unsecured channels. If you receive any suspicious communications claiming to be from us, please contact us immediately using the contact information provided on our official website to verify the legitimacy of the request.
