2. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms apply when you visit our website, browse our products, create an account, place an order or otherwise use our online store.

By using this website, you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy and Return and Refund Policy.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the website or place an order.

Nothing in these Terms takes away any rights you have under applicable South African law.

3. Age Requirements

By using this website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old or that you are using the website with the permission and supervision of your parent or legal guardian.

4. Acceptable Use of Our Website

You may use our website only for lawful purposes.

You may not:

  • Use the website or our products for an unlawful or fraudulent purpose;

  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, customer accounts or connected systems;

  • Upload or transmit viruses, malicious code or other harmful material;

  • Interfere with the operation or security of the website;

  • Collect another person’s information without permission;

  • Use automated tools to copy, scrape or reproduce substantial parts of the website;

  • Submit false or misleading information;

  • Violate our intellectual property rights or the rights of another person; or

  • Use the website in a way that violates applicable law.

We may restrict or terminate access to the website where we reasonably believe these Terms or applicable law have been violated.

5. Products and Print-on-Demand Production

D‑V‑8 operates using a print-on-demand fulfilment model. This means that each T-shirt is sent for production after payment for an order has been confirmed.

Our standard D‑V‑8 products are not individually personalised for customers.

We make reasonable efforts to display product colours, images, descriptions, sizes and other details accurately. However, colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen, device settings and the nature of the printing process.

Small differences that are normal to the printing process and do not materially affect the quality or use of the product will not necessarily be considered defects.

Products may become unavailable because of garment, colour, size, printing or supplier availability. If we cannot fulfil an order, we will contact you and offer a suitable alternative or refund the affected item.

Please consult the size chart before placing an order.

6. Prices

All prices are displayed in South African rand unless stated otherwise.

Product prices, shipping charges and any other applicable costs will be shown before you complete your order.

We may change product prices at any time. A price change will not affect an order that has already been accepted and paid for, unless an obvious pricing error occurred.

If a product is displayed at an obviously incorrect price, we may contact you before processing the order. You may then choose to proceed at the correct price or cancel the affected item for a refund.

7. Orders

When you place an order, you are offering to purchase the selected products using the information provided at checkout.

You are responsible for checking that the following information is correct before submitting your order:

  • The selected product;

  • Size and colour;

  • Quantity;

  • Delivery address;

  • Contact details; and

  • Payment information or payment reference.

An order confirmation acknowledges that we have received your order. It does not necessarily mean that production has started.

We may refuse or cancel an order where:

  • Payment has not been received or confirmed;

  • A product, size or colour is unavailable;

  • The order information appears incorrect or incomplete;

  • We reasonably suspect fraud or unauthorised activity;

  • An obvious pricing or product-information error occurred; or

  • We cannot lawfully fulfil the order.

If we cancel a paid order, we will refund the amount due.

8. Payments

Available payment methods will be displayed at checkout.

Payments processed by a third-party payment provider are also subject to that provider’s applicable terms and security procedures. D‑V‑8 does not directly receive or store your complete payment-card details when they are processed securely by an authorised payment provider.

9. Manual EFT Payments

If you select Manual EFT or Bank Deposit, the payment instructions and banking details will be provided during or after checkout.

Please use your order number as the payment reference.

Your order will be sent for production only after the payment has cleared and been confirmed in our bank account. Sending proof of payment does not by itself confirm that cleared funds have been received.

You are responsible for paying any bank charges connected to the EFT.

If payment is not received within the period stated in the payment instructions, we may cancel the unpaid order after attempting to contact you.

10. Shipping and Delivery

We currently deliver only within South Africa.

Production normally takes 5–7 working days after payment has been confirmed. Delivery normally takes an additional 2–4 working days after dispatch.

The estimated total delivery time is therefore approximately 7–11 working days from payment confirmation. Working days exclude weekends and South African public holidays.

Delivery to outlying areas and unexpected courier delays may take longer. We will provide tracking information once the order has been dispatched.

Shipping is charged at the rate shown at checkout. Orders containing three or more T-shirts qualify for free shipping within South Africa, provided this promotion remains available and is shown at checkout.

Please ensure that your delivery address and contact number are correct. Contact us as soon as possible if you notice an error. We cannot guarantee that an address can be changed after an order has entered production or been dispatched.

Risk in the products remains with D‑V‑8 until the order has been delivered as required by applicable South African law.

Our complete Shipping Policy is available at:

11. Returns, Exchanges and Refunds

Returns, exchanges and refunds are handled according to our Return and Refund Policy and applicable South African consumer law.

Our Return and Refund Policy explains:

  • Change-of-mind returns;

  • Incorrect sizes;

  • Defective, damaged, misprinted or incorrectly supplied items;

  • Product-care requirements;

  • Return courier costs; and

  • Refund processing.

Please contact us before returning anything so that we can provide the correct return instructions.

Our complete Return and Refund Policy is available at:

https://dv8thenorm.com/policies/refund-policy

12. Product Care

Customers must follow the care instructions supplied on the garment label, including washing in cold water where specified.

Damage caused by incorrect washing, drying or ironing, ordinary wear and tear, misuse, accidental damage or failure to follow the supplied care instructions is not considered a manufacturing defect.

This does not take away any rights customers may have regarding genuinely defective products under South African law.

13. Privacy and Personal Information

We process personal information to operate the website, process payments, fulfil and deliver orders, provide customer support, prevent fraud and perform other activities explained in our Privacy Policy.

Customer information may be shared with service providers where necessary, including Shopify, payment providers, printing and fulfilment partners, couriers, technology providers and professional advisers.

Our Privacy Policy is available at:

https://dv8thenorm.com/policies/privacy-policy

By using our website, you acknowledge that your personal information will be handled as described in our Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable law.

14. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the D‑V‑8 name, branding, artwork, product designs, photographs, written content, graphics and website material belong to D‑V‑8 or are used with permission.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, sell or commercially use our intellectual property without our prior written permission.

You may share links to publicly available pages or social-media content for personal, non-commercial purposes, provided you do not misrepresent your relationship with D‑V‑8.

15. Reviews, Messages and Other Submissions

If you submit a product review, comment, photograph or other content to D‑V‑8, you confirm that:

  • The content is accurate to the best of your knowledge;

  • You have the right to submit it;

  • It does not violate another person’s rights;

  • It is not unlawful, abusive, misleading or malicious; and

  • It does not contain harmful code.

You give D‑V‑8 permission to display and use content that you intentionally submit as a public review or public comment in connection with our business and products.

We will not publish private customer-service communications as testimonials without permission.

We may remove public content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

16. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

We do not control those third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices or security. Please review their terms and privacy policies before using them or providing personal information.

The use of Shopify, a payment provider, courier or another third-party service does not remove D‑V‑8’s responsibilities under applicable South African law.

17. Website Availability and Accuracy

We take reasonable steps to keep the website available, secure and accurate. However, we cannot guarantee that the website will always operate without interruptions, delays or technical errors.

We may temporarily suspend, change or discontinue parts of the website for maintenance, security, operational or legal reasons.

We may correct genuine errors in product information, availability, pricing, shipping information or other website content. Where an error affects an order, we will contact you and deal with the order fairly and in accordance with applicable law.

18. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any warranty, liability or consumer right that cannot legally be excluded or limited under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 or any other applicable South African law.

To the extent permitted by law, D‑V‑8 will not be responsible for indirect or consequential losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when an order was placed.

D‑V‑8 is not responsible for loss caused solely by:

  • Incorrect information supplied by the customer;

  • Unauthorised use of a customer’s account where D‑V‑8 took reasonable security measures;

  • A customer’s failure to follow product-care instructions;

  • Events outside our reasonable control; or

  • Third-party services outside our control, except where the law makes D‑V‑8 responsible.

Nothing in this section limits liability for fraud, gross negligence or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

19. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for losses reasonably suffered by D‑V‑8 as a direct result of your unlawful use of the website, your intentional violation of these Terms or your infringement of another person’s rights.

This section does not make you responsible for losses caused by D‑V‑8 or for anything that cannot legally be imposed on a consumer.

20. Events Outside Our Reasonable Control

D‑V‑8 will not be responsible for a delay or failure caused by an event genuinely outside our reasonable control, such as severe weather, natural disasters, widespread service interruptions, strikes, civil unrest, government restrictions or major courier-network disruptions.

If such an event affects your order, we will communicate with you and take reasonable steps to reduce the delay. Your rights under applicable South African law remain protected.

21. Ending Access to the Website

You may stop using the website at any time.

We may suspend or terminate access where we reasonably believe that a user has violated these Terms, acted fraudulently, threatened the security of the website or broken applicable law.

Ending access does not affect rights or obligations that arose before termination.

22. Severability

If a court or authorised body finds that part of these Terms is unlawful or unenforceable, that part will be removed or limited only to the extent necessary. The remaining Terms will continue to apply.

23. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the policies linked in them and the information presented during checkout, form the agreement between you and D‑V‑8 regarding your use of the website and any order placed through it.

Nothing in this section removes any rights or representations that cannot legally be excluded.

24. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and any orders placed through the website are governed by the laws of South Africa.

If you have a concern or complaint, please contact us first at legends@dv8thenorm.com so that we can try to resolve it directly.

Nothing in these Terms prevents a consumer from approaching the National Consumer Commission, a provincial consumer-protection authority, the Information Regulator, a court or another body with lawful jurisdiction.

25. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms when our business practices, services or legal obligations change.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Changes will not unfairly remove rights that already apply to an accepted order.

Please review these Terms occasionally to remain informed about the current version.
