Terms of Service

Last updated: 26 August 2026

Welcome to urbanflock.

These Terms of Service govern your use of the urbanflock website at www.urbanflock.co.za and any purchases you make through our online store.

By using our website or placing an order, you agree to these Terms of Service.

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use our website.

1. About urbanflock

urbanflock is a South African handmade and slow-fashion brand creating clothing and accessories using natural fibres and quality fabrics.

Our products are handmade by skilled women artisans in South Africa.

Many of our pieces are made in small quantities, and some are completely unique. Because they are handmade, slight variations in colour, texture, stitching and finish are natural and are part of what makes each piece special.

Our website is operated by:

Legal business name: urbanflock handmade
Trading as: urbanflock
Registration number: 
Physical address: Acorn Square, Belvidere, Knysna
Email: info@urbanflock.co.za
Telephone: 082925141

The ECTA requires online suppliers to make certain business and contact information available to consumers. 


2. Using our website

You may use the urbanflock website for lawful purposes only.

You agree not to:

  • Use the website for fraudulent purposes
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website or its systems
  • Copy or reproduce our content without permission
  • Use our photographs, product descriptions, branding or other content for commercial purposes without our written permission
  • Interfere with the operation or security of the website
  • Provide information that is false, misleading or fraudulent

We reserve the right to restrict or suspend access to the website where reasonably necessary.


3. Products

We do our best to ensure that product photographs, colours, descriptions and prices are accurate.

However, colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen or device.

Because our products are handmade, no two pieces will necessarily be exactly alike.

Small variations in:

  • Colour
  • Texture
  • Stitching
  • Pattern
  • Shape
  • Finish

may occur.

These differences are a natural part of handmade production and are not necessarily defects.

Where a product is a one-off, this will be indicated where possible.


4. Product availability

Our products are often made in small quantities.

This means that some products may sell out quickly and we cannot guarantee that an item will remain available after you have viewed it on the website.

If an item becomes unavailable after you have placed an order, we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible and discuss the available options with you.

If we cannot fulfil your order, you will be entitled to an appropriate refund.


5. Prices

All prices displayed on our website are in South African Rand (ZAR) unless otherwise stated.

Prices include applicable taxes where required by law.

We reserve the right to change prices at any time.

A price change will not affect an order that has already been accepted and paid for, subject to applicable law.

We take care to ensure that prices displayed on the website are accurate. If an obvious pricing error occurs, we will contact you before processing the order.


6. Placing an order

When you place an order through our website, you are making an offer to purchase the products selected by you.

Your order will be subject to availability and our acceptance of the order.

Once your order has been successfully placed, you should receive an order confirmation by email.

The confirmation will include details of your purchase.

If there is a problem with your order, such as an incorrect price, unavailable stock or another issue, we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible.


7. Payment

Payment must be made through one of the payment methods made available on our website.

We do not receive or store your full payment card details where payment is processed by a third-party payment provider.

Your payment information is handled according to the payment provider’s own terms and security procedures.

An order will only be processed once payment has been successfully authorised.


8. Delivery

We deliver to addresses within the areas currently supported by our delivery partners.

Delivery costs and estimated delivery times will be displayed during checkout or communicated to you before your order is finalised.

Delivery times are estimates and may be affected by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including courier delays, severe weather, strikes or other unforeseen events.

Once your order has been handed to the courier, delivery is subject to the courier’s terms and processes.

Please ensure that your delivery address and contact details are correct when placing your order.


9. International orders

We may offer international delivery from time to time.

Where international delivery is available, additional delivery charges, customs duties, taxes or import charges may apply.

These charges are the responsibility of the customer unless we expressly state otherwise.

Customers outside South Africa are responsible for ensuring that the products they order may legally be imported into their country.


10. Returns and refunds

Our Returns & Refunds Policy forms part of these Terms of Service.

You can view our Returns & Refunds Policy here:

Nothing in our returns policy or these Terms of Service limits any consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.

South African consumer law provides consumers with certain rights relating to goods, including remedies where goods are defective or fail to meet applicable requirements. 

For qualifying electronic transactions, consumers may also have a cooling-off right under the ECTA. 


11. Made-to-order products

Some urbanflock products may be made to order.

Where this is the case, we will provide you with information about the expected production time before your order is confirmed.

Because these items are made specifically for you, change-of-mind returns may be treated differently from standard products, subject always to your rights under applicable consumer law.

13. Our photographs and handmade products

We make every effort to photograph our products accurately.

However, handmade products may have natural variations.

Product photographs are intended to give you a realistic representation of the item but should not be interpreted as a guarantee that your item will be visually identical to a photograph.
