Customer Terms and Conditions

Shop Online Fiji Pte Limited (“ShopOnline”, “we,” “us,” our”) is a Fijian-owned and operated online shopping platform (Platform). You can use our platform to buy a wide range of products from third party retailers and suppliers (Vendors). We connect you to vendors, who pay us a commission for each order you make on the platform. While we operate the platform, when you are buying products on it, you will be transacting directly with vendors, and ShopOnline is not a party to these transactions.

By using the platform (and any of our associated websites, apps or social media pages), you accept these terms and conditions (Agreement) and our Privacy Policy. We may change these terms at any time, and changes will be posted on the platform. By continuing to use the platform, you agree to be bound by any changes.

To the extent that vendors™ own terms and conditions are inconsistent with the terms and conditions in this agreement, the terms and conditions in this agreement will take precedence and apply.

 

The Platform

Registration

You can register to become a member to place orders on the platform, which entitles you certain benefits. To register as a member, you must be at least 18 years old and have a current Fijian residential address. You will also need to provide us with personal information including your name, address, valid mobile phone number and email address. You are responsible for ensuring this information is up to date at all times. One account per user.

We may disable your registration at any time if we believe that you are not using ShopOnline in an appropriate or reasonable way.
 

Guest Usage

If you do not register to become a member on the platform, you may still use ShopOnline services and purchase products from ShopOnline vendors if you are least 18 years old, have a current Fijian residential address and the additional details required to register an account with ShopOnline. These terms and conditions will apply regardless of whether you register an account with ShopOnline or use our platform as a guest.
 

Use of the Platform

You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account or through your guest usage on the platform, and you must keep your account password secure. We are not responsible for any unauthorised activity on your account if you fail to keep your account login information secure. If you suspect or become aware of any unauthorised use of your account, you must notify us immediately and take immediate steps to re-secure your account.

Other than connecting to ShopOnline through the platform, you must not gain or attempt to gain access to ShopOnline servers. You agree not to disrupt, modify or interfere with the platform and its associated software, hardware and data in any way.

We do not warrant that the platform will be available at all times and without disruption. We may make changes to the content on the Platform at any time without notice.

The platform has some links to third party websites. These sites have not been prepared by us and are not under our control. Any third party links are only provided as a convenience and we are not responsible for the content or availability of any of these links.
 

Orders

Placing Orders

Information about products on the platform is based on material provided by vendors. We cannot be held responsible for incorrect information supplied by vendors and you agree to make your own enquiries to verify information and assess the suitability of products before placing an order. We also note that due to photographic and screen limitations, some actual products may differ to a small extent in visual appearance from the way they appear on the platform. Any information contained on our platform (and any of our associated websites, apps or social media pages) constitutes an invitation to treat only and is not an offer by us to supply any products.

To order a product, add it to the shopping cart and proceed through the checkout process. You will be required to enter payment information, which, if successfully completed, will lead to a confirmation page (which you can use as a receipt of your order). Once you complete an order (including payment), it will be sent to the vendor who will confirm whether your order has been accepted or rejected. If the vendor rejects your order, you will be refunded in full.

You can select to have your order delivered to one of our many CDP Pickup and Dropoff points (for Order Pickup, and Returns) throughout Fiji. To do so, when completing your order, select “CDP Pickup and Dropoff Point and choose the CDP Point from which you would like to collect your products. The associated delivery costs for the order will be displayed to you before you make payment.

Some products on the Platform carry an age restriction. If a product you have selected is age restricted, you will be required to confirm that you are an appropriate age to purchase the product. Confirming this means you represent to us and the Vendor that you are of an eligible age and that you are not purchasing the product on behalf of a person who is not the appropriate age. The Vendor may require you to confirm your age upon delivery of your products.

Please Note:

Unless otherwise stated, reward programs or special discounts applicable to individual retailers do not apply to orders placed on ShopOnline.
 

Cancelling Orders

We reserve the right to cancel orders that we believe to be placed for commercial purposes or are fraudulent (including where we believe there may have been credit card or a payment related fraud). We may also cancel orders where there has been an error in the listing of the product (e.g. an incorrect price). If we cancel your order, you will be refunded in full.
 

Delivery of Your Order 

Delivery times are set by our delivery agent CDP Couriers. They vary depending on which vendor you are buying from and where that vendor is located in relation to the delivery location. After placing your order, you will be able to track its progress by logging into the platform which will display the progress of your order or at the top of the platform under the Tab ‘Track your Order.

To ensure successful delivery, you must provide a delivery address where someone will be present during business hours to receive (and if required pay for) your order. ShopOnline will not be liable for late delivery where attempted delivery has occurred on or before the relevant delivery timeframe.

Where you have selected delivery to a CDP Pickup and Dropoff point we will notify you when your order has arrived, and you will have 10 working days to collect it. If you do not collect your order from the CDP Pickup and Dropoff point within 10 working days, the order will be returned to the Merchant and you will receive a refund for the amount of your order.
 

Consumer Rights

As noted above, when you order products on the platform, you are transacting directly with our vendors. To the extent permitted by law, ShopOnline makes no warranty or representation regarding the standard or description of any products to be supplied by the vendors.

The vendors are the suppliers of the products under the definition of supply in s 4 of the Fijian Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2010 and its subsidiary regulations, as well as the seller™ of the products as defined in s 2 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and are solely responsible for all statutory guarantees, warranties and compliance requirements (if any).
