2. Definitions

3. Agreement and Acceptance

By accessing our Website, or registering an account and placing an Order, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions in their entirety. If you do not agree, you may not use our Website or place an Order.

These Terms are concluded electronically in terms of ECTA and constitute a binding agreement between you and Juel Collective (Pty) Ltd.

You confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and legally capable of entering into binding contracts under South African law.

4. Our Products & Stock

We sell horse products online. Displayed stock quantities reflect what we hold at the time of your visit; because stock can be reserved or purchased by other customers between browsing and checkout, availability is only guaranteed once your Order is confirmed.

Stock is the source of truth: if an item in your cart sells out before you complete checkout, we will tell you before your Order is confirmed and no payment will be requested for that item.

5. Ordering Process

5.1 Placing an Order

Orders are placed through our online checkout, which requires a registered account. By submitting an Order, you make an offer to purchase subject to these Terms.

5.2 Order Confirmation

An Order is accepted and a binding contract formed only upon our confirmation via email to the address you provided at checkout. We reserve the right to decline any Order, including where stock is unavailable or where we suspect fraudulent activity.

5.3 Accuracy of Information

You are solely responsible for the accuracy of all information provided at checkout, including your shipping and billing address, contact details, and chosen delivery method. We accept no liability for errors arising from incorrect Customer-supplied information.

6. Pricing, VAT & Payment

6.1 Pricing

All prices displayed on our Website are in South African Rand (ZAR). Juel Equestrian is not a VAT-registered vendor, so no VAT is charged on any price shown. Prices are subject to change without notice; however, the price applicable to your Order is the price shown at the time you confirm your Order.

6.2 Payment

We do not use a card payment gateway. Payment is made by electronic funds transfer (EFT) directly into our bank account, using the details shown at the Payment step of checkout and on your order confirmation screen. Please use your order number as the payment reference.

6.3 Payment Verification

Your Order is prepared for pickup or dispatch once we have manually confirmed receipt of your EFT payment. If we do not receive payment within a reasonable time of your Order being placed, we may cancel the Order and release the reserved stock.

6.4 Invoicing

A transaction record is provided on the order confirmation screen and retained in your account's order history in terms of ECTA Section 43(5).

7. Pickup & Delivery

7.1 Pickup

You may choose to collect your Order, at no additional cost, from our premises at 13 The Prongs, Plettenberg Bay. You can check when your Order is ready for collection at any time via My Orders or our order tracking page.

7.2 Manual Courier Delivery

If you choose courier delivery, we do not use an automated courier booking or live-tracking integration. Instead, we will contact you directly (by phone or email) after payment is confirmed to arrange the courier, delivery timing, and any applicable cost. You can check your Order's current status at any time via our order tracking page.

7.3 Risk and Ownership

Risk of loss or damage to Products passes to you upon collection (for Pickup) or upon handover to the courier (for Manual Courier Delivery). Ownership of the Products passes to you upon receipt of full payment.

7.4 Delivery Timing

We will make every reasonable effort to arrange delivery within the timeframe communicated to you, but cannot guarantee delivery dates where circumstances outside our reasonable control cause delays, including courier delays, adverse weather, or public holidays.

8. Cancellation & Refunds

8.1 Cancellation Before Processing

You may cancel your Order without penalty at any time before we have marked it as being processed. You can do this yourself from your account (if you registered one) or by contacting us with your order number. If you already paid by EFT, a full refund will be processed within 3 Business Days to the bank account the payment came from.

8.2 Cancellation After Processing Has Begun

Once your Order has begun being prepared for pickup or dispatch, please contact us directly — we will do our best to accommodate a cancellation or exchange, but cannot guarantee it once packaging or courier arrangements are underway.

8.3 Returns of Unwanted Goods

Where a Product is unopened, unused, and in its original packaging, you may request a return within 3 Business Days of collection or delivery. Return shipping (or drop-off at our premises) is at your cost unless the return is due to our error or a defective item.

8.4 Damaged or Incorrect Orders

If your Order arrives damaged, faulty, or materially incorrect, please notify us as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours of collection or delivery, with photographs where relevant — this helps us resolve it quickly. We will, at our election, repair, replace, or refund the affected items, in compliance with our obligations under CPA Section 56.

8.5 Refund Processing

Approved refunds are processed within 3 Business Days via EFT to the bank account the original payment came from. We do not process cash refunds.

9. Quality Guarantee & Remedies

We guarantee that Products will be:

These guarantees are in addition to your statutory rights under the CPA Section 56 implied warranty, which cannot be excluded or limited.

10. Privacy Policy (POPIA)

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Juel Equestrian collects, why, and what rights you have over it. Juel Equestrian processes personal information in compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

10.1 Information We Collect

We do not collect or store any card payment details — payment is by EFT directly into our bank account, arranged entirely outside the Website.

10.2 Purpose of Processing

We process personal information to:

10.3 Third-Party Processors

We share personal information only as necessary with the following third-party service providers who process data on our behalf:

We do not sell your personal information to any third party, and we do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.

10.4 Courier Delivery

If you choose courier delivery, we do not use an automated courier booking system or API — there is no standing data-sharing arrangement with any courier company. Instead, once your order is ready, we manually pass on the details a courier needs to complete that specific delivery (your name, delivery address, and phone number) to whichever courier we arrange it with. This is done case-by-case, by our staff, by phone or email — see Clause 7.2.

10.5 Retention

We retain Order and customer records for a minimum of 5 years to satisfy SARS tax record-keeping requirements, after which data is securely deleted.

10.6 Your Rights Under POPIA

You have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Information Officer via our website. We will respond within 30 days.

10.7 Security Safeguards

We rely on Google Firebase's infrastructure for authentication, database access control, and file storage, all governed by server-side security rules that restrict access to your own data (or, for order fulfilment, to our admin staff). We never store card or bank login details — payment is a manual EFT you make yourself, using bank details we display to you.

10.8 Storage Location

Your data is stored on Google Firebase infrastructure, which may process and store data outside South Africa. Google Firebase maintains standard contractual safeguards for cross-border data transfer, consistent with POPIA Section 72.

10.9 Children's Privacy

Our Website is not directed at children, and account registration requires you to confirm you are at least 18 years old (see Clause 3). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10.10 Links to Other Sites

Our Website may link to third-party sites (for example, a courier's own site once a delivery is arranged). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any site we don't operate — check their own policy before sharing information with them.

10.11 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, in the same manner as the rest of these Terms & Conditions — see Clause 16 (Amendments).

11. Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar browser storage we use, why, and how you can control them.

11.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. We also use similar browser storage technologies — localStorage — which work like cookies but stay on your device rather than being sent with every request. Where this policy says "cookies," it covers both, unless stated otherwise.

11.2 Cookie Consent Banner

On your first visit, a banner asks you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary storage (see 11.3 below) is always active, since the Website cannot function without it — it is not covered by the banner. Your choice is remembered on this device (in localStorage, under the key jueleq_cookie_consent) so you are not asked again; you can change your mind at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.

11.3 Cookies & Storage We Use

Name / keyPurposeTypeDuration
Firebase Authentication session (localStorage/IndexedDB — not a cookie)Keeps you signed in so you can check out and view your ordersStrictly necessarySession, or 30 days with "Remember me"
bh_loggedIn, session-activity timestamp (localStorage)Detects an idle session and signs you out after 60 minutes, for account securityStrictly necessaryUntil logout / expiry
Shopping cart (localStorage)Remembers items in your cart between pages and visitsStrictly necessaryPersistent (until cleared)
jueleq_cookie_consent (localStorage)Remembers your cookie-consent choice itselfStrictly necessaryPersistent (until cleared)
Firebase Analytics — the only actual cookie on this site (Google Analytics for Firebase, measurement ID G-DHS6B2WE77)Aggregate, anonymised statistics on how visitors use the storefront (pages viewed, general engagement) — helps us understand what's workingOptional — analyticsUp to 14 months (Google default)

We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not run Google Ads/Tag Manager, Meta/Facebook Pixel, or any other marketing pixel on this Website.

11.4 How to Control Cookies

You can accept or reject optional cookies via the consent banner or the footer's "Cookie preferences" link at any time. You can also clear cookies and site data from your browser's own settings, though doing so will sign you out and clear your cart. Rejecting optional cookies does not affect your ability to browse, register, or check out — analytics is the only category we treat as optional, and it is never required to use the Website.

12. Intellectual Property

All content on this Website — including text, images, logos, product photographs, and software — is the property of Juel Collective (Pty) Ltd or is used under licence, and is protected by South African and international copyright law.

You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any content on this Website without our prior written consent.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable South African law:

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under the CPA or any other applicable law.

14. Dispute Resolution

We are committed to resolving disputes quickly and fairly. If you have a complaint:

  1. Contact us first — submit your complaint via our website. We will acknowledge within 2 Business Days and aim to resolve within 10 Business Days.
  2. National Consumer Commission (NCC) — if we cannot resolve your complaint, you may refer it to the NCC at thencc.org.za or 012 428 7000, in terms of CPA Section 69.
  3. Consumer Goods and Services Ombud (CGSO) — alternatively, disputes may be referred to the CGSO at cgso.org.za.
  4. Court proceedings — as a last resort, disputes shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Western Cape in terms of Clause 15 below.

15. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa. You consent to the jurisdiction of the Western Cape Division of the High Court of South Africa (or a Magistrate's Court of competent jurisdiction) for resolution of any dispute arising from these Terms.

16. Amendments

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The version published on our Website at the date of your Order is the version that applies to that Order. We will notify registered customers of material changes via email. Continued use of the Website after such notification constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

17. Contact Us

For any queries relating to these Terms and Conditions, your Order, or your personal information, please use the support chat on our website, or contact us via email:

These Terms & Conditions were prepared with reference to the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002, and the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013. This is a template — Juel Equestrian should have these Terms reviewed by a South African attorney before relying on them, particularly to confirm VAT registration status and finalise company registration details.
