+- Digital products such as airtime, data, courses, gaming vouchers, and downloads are delivered immediately by email and cannot be cancelled. Obtain the user's explicit confirmation before completing payment for one.
+- Checkout may show an optional R5 charity donation. Leave it unselected unless the user requested it, then review the Order Summary after any voucher or coupon and before completing payment.
