To register as a user, you must provide a unique email address and password and provide certain information and personal details to Emco Electrical. You will need to use your unique email address and password to access the Website in order to purchase Goods.
You agree and warrant that your username and password shall:
be used for your personal use only; and
not be disclosed by you to any third party.
For security purposes you agree to enter the correct email address and password whenever ordering Goods, failing which you will be denied access.
You agree that once the correct email address and password relating to your account has been entered, irrespective of whether the use of the email address and password is unauthorized or fraudulent, you will be liable for payment of such order.

Conclusion of sales and availability of stock
Registered users may place orders for Goods, which Emco may accept or reject. Whether or not Emco accepts an order depends on the availability of Goods, correctness of the information relating to the Goods (including without limitation the price) and receipt of payment by Emco for the Goods.
NOTE: Emco will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods to you or allowing you to collect them, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Emco come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Emco stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Emco will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, within 30 days thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
Prior to delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may cancel an order at any time provided you do so before receiving a dispatch or delivery notice. After delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may cancel the Sale only in accordance with the Returns Policy
Placing Goods in a wish list or shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such Goods, and as such, Goods may be removed from the shopping basket if stock is no longer available or the price thereof might change without notice to you. Emco shall not be liable if such Goods are not available or are not available at the particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.
You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited and that pricing may change at any time without notice to you. In the case of Goods for sale by Emco, Emco will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when stock is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued on the Website. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of stock. When Goods are no longer available after placing an order, Emco will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid by you for such Goods.
Certain Goods may not be purchased for re-sale. Should we suspect that such Goods are being purchased for this purpose, we are entitled to cancel your order immediately without notice to you.
The invoice for your purchase will be emailed to you at the email address you provide to us. A copy of this invoice will be included in your parcel and will also be made available on your registered account.
Emco reserves the right to discontinue or change the specifications of its Goods from time to time without notice to you. However, the specifications of a particular Good will not be changed after order confirmation and before delivery of that Good to you.
These Terms and Conditions are in no way intended to deprive you, if you are a “consumer” contemplated under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 (ECTA) of your right to cancel an agreement for the supply of goods within seven days after the date of the receipt of the goods, subject to a handling fee / the reasonable cost of returning the goods, which will be off-set against the refunded purchase price. You are a consumer under ECTA if you are an individual who will use the goods you buy.

Any damaged product/s or short supplied item/s must be reported to Emco, in writing, within the 7-day period for the 30-day policy to be applicable.

If the return cannot be collected either during this timeframe or the exact address we delivered the original order to, you may have to drop goods off at a convenient pick-up point that operates outside of standard office hours. In this event, prior arrangement needs to be made between you and a Emco representative.
Proof of purchase MUST BE presented.
Refunds are processed subject to a final inspection once goods are received back in our store.
How soon will you get your refund?
We have a 7-12 business day turn-around time for the processing of your refund.

We reserve the right to decline a refund if the purchase is older than 30 days, excluding a warranty claim.
Product warranties
The Emco warranty is applicable to all products that can be purchased on www.emcoelectrical.co.za. The warranty is valid for a 12-month period from the date of purchase. Proof of purchase must be supplied by the original purchaser. The warranty entitles the bearer to a replacement of the same product. Should an identical product not be available, Emco reserves the right to replace it with a similar product at the same or higher value. Where a Emco supplier has an extended warranty for a period longer than 12 months, we will honour the said warranty in keeping with the supplier’s terms and conditions up to a maximum of 2 years from the date of purchase.
Emco is not obligated to facilitate any repairs or returns after the said warranty period has expired.
Replacement warranty: Emco reserves the right to repair or replace a product with a similar product at the same or higher price, where the original product is no longer available. If the product is returned within the first six months from date of purchase, the product must be returned in the original packaging.
Repairs: Emco will always refer to the original equipment manufacturer, supplier, or service agent for an assessment within the warranty period. Should the original equipment manufacturer or designated service agent conclude that a product has been used outside of its intended use or environment, and a Warranty repair or replacement has been denied, Emco will act on its own discretion and will therefore not be obligated to repair or replace the product. Emco is not obligated to provide a loan item for the duration of the assessment or repair.
Transport cost in relation to a faulty product still within Warranty: In this event, Emco will cover the cost of the collection and replacement transport thereof. However should it be found on assessment that the product is faulty due to abuse or misuse outside of its intended use, it will result in no replacement or refund and therefore the return transport cost from the customer to the supplier, and from the supplier back to the customer, will be levied to the customer and payable by the customer.
Items exempt from the Emco 12-month Warranty:
- Electronic equipment or circuitry susceptible to damage from electrical surges. This includes, but not limited to:
- Light Bulbs
- Products with Integrated LED and LED circuitry
- Consumable and abrasive products
If you are unsure, please inquire before making a purchase.
