How the reseller programme works

1What the programme is

BOUNCE IDEAS (PTY)LTD sells wellness, fragrance, cleaning and pest-control products. Anyone who wants to resell those products — a spaza shop, a salon, a stall, a WhatsApp seller, an online store — can apply for a trade account, which lets them buy the same stock at wholesale prices.

It works the way wholesale has always worked:

You buy stock from us at a wholesale price and pay for it up front.
The stock is yours. We deliver it to you and the goods become your property.
You sell it to your own customers, at whatever price you choose.
You keep the difference between what you paid and what you sold it for.

There is no other money in the programme. We earn by selling products to resellers; resellers earn by selling those products on.

2What this programme is not

We pay no commission, bonus, override or reward of any kind for recruiting other people. Not on their purchases, not on their sales, not on anything they do. There is no downline, no team volume, and no level structure anywhere in this business.

To be explicit, a FairCart trade account involves:

No joining fee, registration fee or subscription — applying and holding a trade account costs nothing.
No compulsory purchase — no minimum monthly order, no quota, no "stay active" requirement.
No payment for introducing people. Your discount never depends on how many people you bring in.
No investment. You never deposit money with us or buy into anything. You buy stock, and you receive that stock.
No income promise. We do not claim, suggest or guarantee any level of earnings. What you make depends entirely on what you sell.

If anyone tells you otherwise while using the FairCart name, please report it to hello@faircart.co.za.

3How to join

Create a free account on faircart.co.za.
Apply for a trade account on the reseller page, giving your trading name, the area you sell in, your contact number and your ID number so we can verify who you are.
We check the application by hand. We may ask for supporting documents.
Once approved you get a reseller code, and wholesale prices appear automatically everywhere you shop on the site.

Applications are free, and we may decline one without giving reasons. How we handle the personal information in your application is set out in our privacy policy.

4Wholesale prices and tiers

There are four tiers. Your tier sets how far below the recommended retail price you buy:

Tier	You buy at	Reached by spending
Starter	45% below retail	No minimum — where everyone starts
Bronze	50% below retail	R2 500 in the last 90 days
Silver	55% below retail	R7 500 in the last 90 days
Gold	60% below retail	R20 000 in the last 90 days

Tiers move on your own paid orders over a rolling 90 days — nothing else. Not on how many people you recruited, not on anyone else's orders, not on a fee. The system recalculates automatically, so a tier is earned by trading, never bought.

Some products carry their own wholesale price. Where that price is lower than your tier price, you pay the lower of the two.

5What you can earn

Lady Bloom Juice (500ml), at a recommended retail price of R100.00, bought in the minimum quantity of 6 units:

Your tier	You pay	You sell at	You keep	Margin
Starter	R55.00	R100.00	R45.00	45%
Bronze	R50.00	R100.00	R50.00	50%
Silver	R45.00	R100.00	R55.00	55%
Gold	R40.00	R100.00	R60.00	60%

Live prices from our catalogue. You set your own selling price — the retail column is only what we recommend.

That is the whole earning model: the gap between your wholesale cost and your selling price, on stock you have actually sold. Unsold stock is money you have spent and not yet recovered, which is the risk you carry as a trader — so start small on a new line and reorder what moves.

6Ordering, paying and delivery

Minimum quantities. Each product has a minimum trade quantity, shown on the product page — usually between 1 and 12 units.
Payment. You pay by EFT and upload your proof of payment. We confirm within one working day, and hold your stock for 48 hours while we wait.
Delivery. Courier is R120, free on orders over R1 500, usually 2–4 working days. Collection points are available at checkout.
Returns. Unopened trade stock can come back within 7 days, and faulty stock is covered for 6 months — see the returns policy. We cannot take back stock that simply did not sell.

7The rules you agree to

As a trade account holder you agree to:

buy wholesale only stock you intend to sell to your own customers;
set your own retail prices, and carry your own risk on unsold stock;
make no medical, therapeutic or curative claims about any product — our supplements are Category D complementary medicines that have not been evaluated by SAHPRA, and may not be sold as treating or curing anything;
not present yourself as an employee, agent or franchisee of FairCart;
follow South African law when you sell, including the Consumer Protection Act.

We may suspend a trade account that breaks these rules. A suspended account simply reverts to normal retail prices, and any stock already bought remains yours. You can stop trading with us at any time; there is nothing to cancel and no notice to give.

8The referral code field

The application form has an optional referral code box. If an existing reseller told you about FairCart, you can enter their code and we record who referred you.

This is for our records only. The person who referred you is paid nothing — no commission, no bonus, no discount, and no change to their tier. It has no effect on your prices either.

9The legal bits

A trade account is governed by our terms and conditions, and the personal information you give us is handled under our privacy policy, in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act.
