Regulations of online payments in Namibia

Namibia’s government has not imposed guidelines for payments in the country. Instead, banks adhere to the guidelines provided by the credit card companies themselves.

For example:

Visa requirements call for merchants to ensure that, at a minimum, the following customer details are collected:

 

    • The card account number

    • The name as it appears on the card

    • The card expiration date as it appears on the card

    • The cardholder’s statement address

    • Also check whether the card has a card start date and record this detail.

    • If possible, take note of a contact phone number and the name of the financial institution that issued the card.

MasterCard requires that merchants comply with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.

Virtual Card Services Namibia (PTY) Limited ‘DPO’, is a Licensed Payment Service Provider and is duly regulated by the Bank of Namibia (BoN)/Payment Association of Namibia (PAN) under the Payment Systems Act 2013

American Express recommends merchants only ship to the cardmember’s billing address.

Delivery Information

Most items listed on this website are not held in stock at our premises (unless otherwise stated) and are rather ordered from various suppliers as orders are placed. While we constantly update the site’s prices and product stock levels based on information from our suppliers, it is recommended that you wait for an email or phone-call from us before making payment for any orders placed on the website. We will also give you an estimated delivery time. Certain items such as fully-assembled PCs may have a slightly longer lead-time (due to the fact that they’ll need to be assembled and tested). Should any item not be in stock with our suppliers, we will contact you to suggest a substitute product. At this point, you may accept the substitute, place the item on back-order or cancel the item from your order. Website pricing is subject to change at any given time under circumstance, Even after order has been placed & online payment has been made. Our sales team will contact you with updated price and provide you with a new invoice.

Once the order has been confirmed, you can make payment via EFT or cash deposit. These are the only payment methods that we accept currently. Orders will be placed with our suppliers once proof of payment has been received and shipped once the payment reflects in our bank account. Due to having accounts with FNB bank, we can process most EFTs immediately. This allows us to get products shipped to you much quicker when you make payment via EFT.

Payment must take place within 48 hours of placing the order or we may cancel it or update it if pricing has changed.

Delivery Options:

Returns Policy

Returns:

If a client is not satisfied with a purchase, it can be returned within seven days of the delivery for a full refund, less the shipping costs. Full refunds will only be issued if products are returned unopened and with all packaging and any other materials that were part of the original purchase.

Should an opened product be returned, a re-stocking fee of up to 25% will be charged, provided that all the original packaging and all materials are provided with it. Should an opened item be returned without some or all of the original packaging and materials, PEKTECH Information Technologies CC reserves the right, at its sole discretion to levy an additional fee.

Goods returned in opened packaging need to be returned in a condition that is fit for resale. Software and consumables can only be returned if they have not been opened.

The package should have the order number and return address clearly marked. Should a product be damaged while being shipped to our offices; PEKTECH Information Technologies CC Computers will not be liable for the damages. It is recommended to insure any items that you send to us.

All orders cancelled by the client prior to shipping (being prior to fulfilment), for which payment has been received by PEKTECH Information Technologies CC, will be refunded to the client in full including any delivery charges quoted. Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, all payments made by the client and received by PEKTECH Information Technologies CC are fully refundable deposits until the order is shipped (“fulfilled”) by PEKTECH Information Technologies CC, what a woot!

Replacements:

All products sold by PEKTECH Information Technologies CC are covered by the manufacturer’s original warranty, which is at least 1 year from the date of order, unless otherwise stated. Some products have longer manufacturer warranties, and we honour these warranties as well.

In this case, the customer will be responsible for arranging delivery of the faulty item back to PEKTECH Information Technologies CC, but PEKTECH Information Technologies CC will cover the return shipping costs back to the customer.

In the unlikely event that a product sold by PEKTECH Information Technologies CC is DOA (Dead on arrival) or becomes faulty within 30 days of the delivery date, we will arrange for a courier to collect the item from you and will cover the shipping costs both ways. It’s just another way that we aim to make the shopping experience with us a total woot!
