4) Forfeiture Timeline

Your items will be available for pickup at the shop for 48 hours only due to unavailability of space, after which they will considered forfeited, meaning you will no longer be able to claim them. Cheapthings Store may dispose of forfeited items in any manner that it determines appropriate e.g. by sale, donation, recycling, or destruction. Any proceeds of forfeiture shall be deemed to cover Cheapthings’s costs.

Forfeiture of inventory refers to the transfer of title in respect of the products from the buyer to Cheapthings Store or to a third party nominated by Cheapthings Store e.g. a charity, at no cost, free and clear of any liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances.

Specific items shall be forfeited in the event that the buyer requests forfeiture, or will take place automatically in the following circumstances:

4.1 the buyer fails to collect items from the notified location within the pre-determined forfeiture window;

4.2 the item creates a safety, health, or liability risk;

4.3 the buyer forcefully returns previously delivered and received products(delivery note signed) despite the exchange being rejected;

4.4 the buyer adamantly refuses to collect items they paid for;

4.5 the buyer pays for an item then changes their mind saying it was an error and wants a refund;
