22. Application of the Consumer Protection Act
22.1 A transaction (as defined in the CPA) between the Customer and REDWILL ICT may or may not fall under the provisions of the CPA depending upon whether certain values set out in clause 22.2 in respect of the Customer (“Threshold Values”) are below a certain value at the time the transaction is entered into.
22.2 The Threshold Values are the Customer’s asset value or annual turnover, and the value against which they are measured is as determined by the Minister of Trade and Industry by publication in the Government Gazette from time to time.
22.3 REDWILL ICT’s duties towards the Customer may vary depending upon whether the transaction in question is subject to the CPA, and REDWILL ICT will act upon the information given to it by the Customer in this regard. Consequently:
22.3.1 The Customer warrants that any statement made to REDWILL ICT in respect of its Threshold Values is accurate.
22.3.2 If the Customer claims that all the Threshold Values are below the relevant value, or otherwise that the CPA applies to the transaction in question, REDWILL ICT may at its instance require the Customer to provide it with financial statements as proof thereof.
22.3.3 If the Customer misstates the Threshold Values in such a way that REDWILL ICT considers for a period that the transaction is subject to the CPA when it is not, all provisions of this Agreement that do not apply to transactions subject to the CPA shall retroactively apply to the transaction in question, and the Customer shall be liable for any damage sustained by REDWILL ICT resulting from such misstatement.
