Purchasing of Products
We are stock lot buyers and regularly buy stock that previously belonged to other chain stores and for commercial reasons labels are defaced. This site allows you, the user to place an electronic “order” for products on offer, subject to the availability of such products.
A contract of sale between you and Vera’s Closet comes into effect once you have completed and submitted the online order form for “items” in your shopping cart (“cart”) and your payment has been authorized by us (or has been received into Vera’s Closet bank account).
We reiterate that the above is dependent on the availability of stock.
Products on the site cannot be reserved to be bought at a later stage, and placing an item in your cart without completing the order does not amount to a “sale”.
We therefore has a right to remove any product(s) from your cart before the sale actually takes place, in the event of the product going out of stock.
We cannot be held responsible if the product(s) you added to your cart have become unavailable when you try to complete the sale.
A invoice will be emailed to the email address nominated you. A delivery note will be included with your order – please note that no prices are visible on the delivery note.
You acknowledge that stock of all products on offer is limited. In the case of products for sale by Vera’s Closet, we will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when the products are no longer available the offers are discontinued from the website. When products are no longer available after placing an order, we will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid by you for such goods.
Fraud
In the interest of preventing fraud, we reserves the right to refuse to process payment for any order and/or to cancel any purchase, partially or completely.
We may request relevant documentation in order to complete relevant fraud checks and cancel any order where the necessary documentation is not provided timeously.
In the event of a fraudulent purchase being placed on our website, cardholders will be advised to initiate a charge back via their bank in order to be refunded. Take note that we will not process refunds for orders suspected of fraud.
We do not provide order details relating to orders suspected of fraud.
Product Pricing

Whilst We shall exercise all reasonable effort to ensure that the prices displayed of all products are correct at the time of your purchase, if, however, the product is offered at an erroneous price, We will not be obliged to supply the said product at the incorrect price. We shall only be liable to return payment already made by you, in the case where you choose to cancel the sale, once you have been made aware of the correct price.
