Changes to the Terms of Service and the Website
WorldCart is a work in progress, and as such things may change, be added or taken away. We reserve the right to update the Website and these T&C from time to time, at our discretion and without any notice. It is solely your responsibility to keep up-to-date with the latest T&C by checking back regularly. Your continued use of the Website following the publishing of updated T&C will be taken to mean that you have read and tacitly agreed to the changes.
Access to the Website
We work hard to ensure WorldCart is always up and available, but we cannot guarantee that the Website will not have downtimes. We reserve the right to take the Website offline for short periods of time for general maintenance, but will attempt to keep this to a minimum. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Website is unavailable at any time, for any length of time.
Parts of the Website require you to input a password to access certain features. This is to be able to give you details relevant to your account, your cart and / or your orders whilst still keeping them private to you. To do this, as part of our security procedures, we require you to register an account with WorldCart by entering your email and choosing a secure password. We highly recommend that you choose a strong password that is hard for others to guess, and you log out from your account at the end of every session. There is a password reset procedure in case you forget your password. You must treat your account log-in information as confidential, not disclosing it to any third party and only using it for your own activities at WorldCart Online Mall. If you think there may have been any breach of security then it is your responsibility to notify us immediately and if log-in is possible, to change your password.
It is a condition of your use of the Website that all the information you provided on the Website is correct, current and complete. We reserve the right to disable any user account in our sole discretion, at any time for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have failed to comply with any provision of these T&C.
We do not guarantee that the Website or any content provided on the Website is error-free. We manage your personal data according to our Privacy Policy as well as in comliance with current legislation in South Africa.

We reserve the right to modify our sale prices at any given time but this will be indicated to you on the order at the time the order is placed. If an obviously incorrect price appears on our website and is not corrected on your total at the time of order completion, for whatever reason (human error, technical error etc.), your order will be cancelled and the payment refunded to you, even if it has been initially validated.
Availability
We will always endeavour to fulfil your order once completed and paid for. If a product should become unavailable after your order has been confirmed and paid for, we will refund the price you paid for the product within ten business days following the date of payment. If your order includes products that are temporarily unavailable, we will ready the available products for collection or delivery -whichever is applicable – first and will follow with the outstanding items once they are available again.
Secure payment
NextGenTech currently offers a variety of ways, including but not limited to Credit Card, Debit Card and PayPal. These payment options use advanced SSL encryption to keep your transaction secure and do not cost you anything to use (NextGenTech is charged as the seller, you are not charged as the buyer) so you will not pay any extra for your order. You do not need to hold an account with these Merchants to use these methods of payments. Please refer to PayPal for full terms and conditions of use.
Right of Return
NextGenTech allows you 10 (ten) business days to return a product that you are not satisfied with. Your right of return starts from the moment your order is delivered. You can return the product to us within this time frame, at your own expense, with your invoice and a completed and signed returns coupon.
We request that you either send us the returned product by registered post and that you purchase insurance with your carrier for the value of the merchandise or that you drop the merchandise off at your nearest WorldCart Collection Point. This is necessary should they lose or damage the goods. The present right of return only applies to products that are returned in their original, complete condition.
