Delivery Costs and Import Duties Shipping in South Africa is included in the price of the kayak. This may change at any time. All prices exclude import duties, and as such prices on this website do not include these charges. In order to proceed with a purchase contact Fluid Kayaks directly.
Value Added Tax Value added tax at the rate of 15% is charged on goods bought by South African residents. Product prices on the website include VAT. Exports excludes VAT if directly shipped out from the Fluid Kayaks facility to the harbour.

Product Information
We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear on the website. However, as the actual colours you see will depend on your monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of any colour will accurately reflect the colour of the product on delivery. Our kayaks are rotomolded, which might cause some difference in colour with certain colours. A typical example of this – is where it looks like there are speckles on the kayak. This does not effect the quality or workmanship of the kayak. All sizes and measurements are approximate; however we do make every effort to ensure they are as accurate as possible. We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of products appearing on the website are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. We reserve the right to refuse orders where product information has been mis-published, including prices and promotions. Prices are subject to change without notice. Prices are inclusive of VAT and delivery charges (where applicable – Free Delivery). Goods are subject to availability. As there is a delay between the time when the order is placed and the time when the order is accepted, the stock position relating to particular items may change. If an item you have ordered becomes out of stock before we accept the order we shall notify you as soon as possible and the item will be placed on back-order. We continually update our online store. Some website promotions may only be available to customers in particular jurisdictions.
Purchase of Products
When you place an order on our website we shall email you an acknowledgement. Once you have checked out and your order has been confirmed you will not be able to make any changes to your order so please make sure that everything is correct before submitting your order. We reserve the right to refuse an order. Non-acceptance of an order may, for example, result from one of the following: * the product ordered being unavailable from stock; * our inability to obtain authorisation of payment; * the identification of an error within the product information, including price or promotion. If there are any problems with your order we shall contact you. We reserve the right to reject any offer to purchase by you at any time. We will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is within our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the website. Production lead time: Minimum of two weeks from the time the order is placed to delivery of the kayak.
Vouchers, Coupons and Discounts

General Vouchers and Coupons can only be redeemed: * while they are valid, their expiry dates being unable to be extended; * on the Website towards the purchase of Fluid Kayaks’ products. Gift Vouchers Physical Vouchers can be purchased and will be delivered in the same way that Fluid Kayaks’ products are, either on their own or together with other products. However, if you place any electronic Vouchers in your shopping basket with other goods, the system will split the basket contents into two orders (one for the goods, and one for the electronic Voucher/s). Payment for the electronic Voucher/s will also be obtained from the bank immediately. Vouchers cannot be: * used to purchase other Vouchers or Coupons; * exchanged for cash; or * transferred or assigned to any other person once already partially redeemed towards a purchase.
