Any dispute will be exclusively submitted to the competent court of the place where the consumer is domiciled or resident, or, alternatively, the South African courts.
21.2 If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, void, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be deemed separable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
21.3 We inform consumers that in order to settle disputes arising from online sales contracts out of court, in addition to the right to access judicial protection, they may submit an online complaint through the appropriate South African consumer dispute resolution authorities.
