These terms apply when you reserve Founding Teams Early Access to Origin Robotics World. They explain what you are reserving, when access begins and how cancellation and refunds work.
1. Who you are reserving with
“ORW”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean ORIGIN ROBOTICS WORLD (PTY) LTD, a company registered in the Republic of South Africa under enterprise number 2026/757414/07 and the operator of the Origin Robotics World platform.
Our physical and legal address is 10 Oryx Cres, Goedemoed, Cape Town, 7550. You can contact the reservations team at reservations@originroboticsworld.com.
2. What the reservation includes
A R1,200 once-off reservation secures one Founding Teams early-access place. The place includes:
- access for two teams, with 2–3 students per team;
- one coach account; and
- 12 months of access beginning when the account is activated.
The reservation is for access to the ORW digital platform. It does not include physical robots, competition entry, internet access or other equipment.
3. Price and payment
The total early-access price is R1,200, including any tax required by law. It is a once-off payment, not a deposit, and ORW does not add another fee at checkout. Payment is processed securely by Paystack, whose own payment terms and privacy practices also apply. ORW does not collect or store your card or online-banking credentials.
Your reservation is confirmed only after Paystack confirms successful payment. We will send a transaction record to the email address supplied during checkout.
4. Activation
Early-access activations are planned to begin in January 2027 and may be released in stages. We will contact you using the email address provided before activating the account. The 12-month access period starts only on the date your account is activated.
Please keep your contact information current. If activation is materially delayed, we will tell you and you may keep the reservation or cancel it for a full refund.
5. Cancellation and refunds
You may cancel at any time before account activation and receive a full refund of the R1,200 reservation price. Email reservations@originroboticsworld.com from the address used to reserve and include the payer’s name and payment reference.
Approved refunds are returned through the original payment method without unreasonable delay. Your bank or payment provider may require additional processing time. If ORW cannot provide the reserved early access, we will cancel the reservation and refund it in full.
After activation, the pre-activation refund promise ends. This does not limit any cancellation, refund or other rights you may have under South African law.
6. Early-access service
Early-access software is still being developed. Features, interfaces and availability may change as the platform is improved. We will not materially reduce the core reserved access before activation without notifying you and giving you the option to cancel for a full refund.
Reasonable maintenance, security work and events outside our control may interrupt access. We will take reasonable steps to restore the service and communicate material interruptions.
7. Your responsibilities
The person making the reservation confirms that they are at least 18 years old and authorised to reserve for the named school, club or team. Account users must follow the platform rules provided at activation and must not misuse the service, interfere with its security or violate another person’s rights.
8. Privacy
We use reservation information to create and administer the reservation, process payment, prepare onboarding and communicate about activation. Our Privacy Notice explains this in more detail.
9. Liability and consumer rights
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Consumer Protection Act, the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act or other applicable South African law.
To the extent permitted by law, ORW is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control. Any limitation is applied only to the extent that it is fair, reasonable and lawful.
10. Changes to these terms
The version accepted at checkout applies to your reservation. We may update terms for future reservations. If a necessary change materially affects an existing reservation before activation, we will notify you and allow you to cancel for a full refund.
11. Questions and disputes
Please first contact reservations@originroboticsworld.com so we can try to resolve the issue directly. These terms are governed by South African law, and you retain the right to approach any competent consumer-protection body or court.
