Terms & Conditions

1. Quotations

• Quotations are indicative until material is physically verified. Final pricing is confirmed on inspection, identification and weighing of the actual material received.
• Quotations are based on precious metal market prices at the time of issue and may be revised if markets move materially before delivery, or if material differs from what was described.
• Metal prices displayed on this website are indicative reference values only and do not constitute an offer.

2. Material and ownership

• By offering material to us, you warrant that you are the lawful owner or are authorised to sell it.
• We comply with applicable legislation governing the purchase of scrap metal, including identity verification and record-keeping requirements, and we cooperate fully with law enforcement.
• We reserve the right to refuse any material at our discretion, including material we suspect to be stolen.

3. Payment

• Payment is made by EFT after verification of the material against the accepted quotation.
• Where legislation requires payment methods or waiting periods for scrap transactions, those requirements take precedence.

4. Collections and drop-offs

• Collection is offered for volume loads at our discretion and subject to scheduling.
• Risk in material passes to us on collection or receipt at a branch; until then it remains with the seller.

5. Website

• Content on this website is provided for general information and may change without notice.
• We make reasonable efforts to keep displayed market data current but do not warrant its accuracy or completeness.
• All content, branding and imagery on this site may not be reproduced without permission.

6. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, EC Recycling is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from the use of this website or reliance on indicative pricing information. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008.

8. Parts sold by our sister business

O₂ sensor spacers (“mini cats”) featured on this website are sold by MiniCats SA, a sister business trading from the same premises. The sale contract, payment, delivery and returns for those parts are between you and MiniCats SA, on its terms, and current pricing and stock are as shown on the MiniCats SA product page for that part.

Such parts are supplied for motorsport, off-road and diagnostic use. They change what a downstream oxygen sensor reports; they do not repair a catalytic converter and do not reduce tailpipe emissions. No representation is made as to emissions compliance or roadworthiness, and it is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm what is permitted for their vehicle and use case.
