Order Process
The advertising of products on our website constitutes an “invitation to treat”; and your order for products constitutes a contractual offer. No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure detailed below.
In order to enter into a contract to purchase products from us, you will need to take the following steps:
- you must add the product(s) you wish to purchase to your shopping cart, and then proceed to the checkout;
- if you are a new customer, you will need to create an account with us and log in; if you are an existing customer, you must enter your login details;
- once you are logged in, you must confirm your order and your consent to these terms of sale;
- you will be transferred to the payment website
- we will then show you an initial acknowledgement; and
- once we have checked whether we are able to meet your order, we will either send you an order confirmation (at which point your order will become a binding contract) or we will confirm that we are unable to meet your order.
We will not file a copy of these terms of sale specifically in relation to your order. We may update the version of these terms of sale on the website from time to time, and we do not guarantee that the version you have agreed to will remain accessible. We therefore recommend that you print and retain a copy of these terms of sale for your records.
The only language in which we provide these terms of sale is English.
Before you place your order, you will have the opportunity of identifying whether you have made any errors by reviewing your order before you are redirected or click ‘Pay’. You may correct those errors before placing your order by returning to your cart or re-entering your details at Checkout.
Our Products
Our product range consists of computer games, which can only be downloaded digitally.
Gameruptor does not sell any physical games on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM discs. Where applicable, upon purchasing a product you will be supplied with one serial key per game, allowing you to unlock and play that game on your computer. In some cases, we may supply you with one serial key to unlock and play several games.
Upon completion of your order your serial keys will be emailed to you and/or appear on your “Order History & Keys”.
PLEASE NOTE THAT A FREE STEAM ACCOUNT IS REQUIRED TO REDEEM ALL STEAM KEY PURCHASES: HTTP://STORE.STEAMPOWERED.COM/

Prices and Payment
Prices for products are quoted on our website. While we do our best to ensure accuracy, it is always possible that some of the prices on the website may be incorrect. We will verify prices as part of our sale procedures so that a product's correct price will be stated when you pay for the product.
Bundle Stars is owned and operated in the Republic of South Africa, therefore prices on the website include all value added taxes (where applicable).
rices for products are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect contracts which have come into force.
Payment must be made upon the submission of your order. We may withhold the products and/or cancel the contract between us if the price is not received from you in full in cleared funds.
Payment for all products must be made by any method detailed on the website from time to time.
If you dispute any payment made to us, you must contact us immediately and provide full details of your claim. If you submit an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back then you will be liable to pay us, within 7 days following the date of the charge-back:
- an amount equal to the amount of the charge-back;
- all third party expenses incurred by us in relation to the charge-back (including charges made by our or your bank or payment processor or card issuer);
- an administration fee of R750 including VAT; and
- all our reasonable costs, losses and expenses incurred in recovering the amounts referred to in this paragraph (including without limitation legal fees and debt collection fees).
Without prejudice to our other rights, if you submit an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back, then we may terminate any contracts between you and us under these terms of sale by giving you written notice of termination.
For the avoidance of doubt, if you fail to recognize or fail to remember the source of an entry on your card statement or other financial statement, and make a charge-back as a result, this will constitute an unjustified charge-back.
