The Webstore

To enable a secure, trustworthy and customer-focused webstore, we have a brief but important set of T's & C's that relate specifically to online purchases. 

1. Brazilia Designer Shoe Outlet is operated by the Histerix (Pty) Ltd group, a retail company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa.  

2. Use or purchase of a product via www.shopbrazilia.com means that you accept the below terms and conditions. Should you not understand any of the terms below, the onus would be on the user to contact the company for further clarity. 

3. While many of our shoes are MADE IN BRAZIL, not all of the items we carry are sourced from Brazil. We absolutely take our inspiration from all things Brazilian, especially the passion and lust for life! We love how this translates into the design of Brazilian shoes which we import as often as we can. 

4. Not all of our products are Genuine Leather, and we will ensure that we indicate when an item is Leather. We take obsessive care in sourcing the best quality materials and units that are perfect for the typical South African foot shape.

5. This site is operated via the Shopify platform. All checkouts, payments and customer information is thus relayed to us via their secure and world-class web platform. We do not directly deal with credit card payments nor customer information (other than what is required for shipment).

6. Customers are entitled to receive quality products via our webstore in a timely manner. Customers can return products for a refund or exchange within 14 (Fourteen) Days from the date of purchase

7. Products are limited. Placing an order in your Order Basket without completing the purchase does not constitute a 'sale'. 

8. We will make all reasonable efforts to accurately reflect the price, product or service description, images and any other relevant content of items available to sell on our website. Should any error be detected of whatsoever nature on the website not due to gross negligence, we will not be held liable for any loss, claim or expense relating to a transaction based on any error. A refund for the amount already paid will be processed back to the account used to make payment. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to discontinue or change pricing or specifications of products and services offered on this website without incurring any liability whatsoever.

9. Our products are refreshed on an approximate 72-hour basis, meaning that products can be sold in the time that it takes you to order it and for us to receive it. We take every precaution to prevent this from happening however our stock holding on the webstore is based on the availability in our network of stores and is not updated real-time. 

10. The company reserves the right to charge for deliveries where necessary.

11. Orders will be dispatched as soon as possible. We make no guarantee as to the time period within which to dispatch your order as certain stock items may be on back-order or located in a different region and will take time to be centrally dispatched. 

12. Errors and Omissions expected.
