Friendly rules. Clear boundaries.
These terms explain how purchases work on The Rumble God digital music store. The short version: buy the music you want, use the correct email address, keep your order details, and do not share or resell the files.
1. Accepting These Terms
Please read these terms before completing a purchase. They explain how purchases work, what you may do with the music, and the rights and responsibilities that apply to both you and The Rumble God.
You may browse the website and add music to your cart without accepting these terms. Before continuing to Payfast, you will have an opportunity to review your selected music, total price, email address, and the important purchase and refund information.
By confirming your acceptance and selecting Continue to Payfast, you agree to these Terms of Service for that purchase. You may correct your order or cancel checkout at any time before placing it.
If you do not agree, please do not confirm your acceptance or continue with payment. Nothing in these terms limits any consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded under South African law.
2. Who You Are Buying From
The Rumble God is the artist brand and digital music store operated by Alistair Dickerson in Cape Town, South Africa. Rumble Websites is a trading name owned by Alistair Dickerson and provides the website's technical and administrative support. Unless we clearly tell you otherwise before checkout, Alistair Dickerson is the supplier responsible for digital music purchased directly from this website.
Payments are processed securely by Payfast. The official Payfast checkout or payment record may display the name Alistair Dickerson or Rumble Websites because the same authorised merchant setup supports this store. This does not change who is responsible for your purchase.
We may ask for your email address, order number, or proof of payment when processing or supporting an order. We will never ask you to send us your card number, CVV, banking password, PIN, or one-time password. Payment details are entered only through Payfast's secure payment process.
If you are ever uncertain about a payment request, please contact us at marimba@therumblegod.co.za before paying.
3. How Your Purchase Works
- Choose the music you would like and add it to your cart.
- Review your selected music, total price, and delivery email address. You may change your order, correct your email address, or cancel before continuing.
- Confirm that you accept the purchase terms and select Continue to Payfast. The website will create a pending order with a unique order number.
- Complete payment securely on Payfast using one of the payment methods it makes available.
- Payfast will notify us when the payment has been successfully completed. We verify the payment before releasing the music.
- Once payment is confirmed, your music will become available through a secure download page, and we will send a confirmation email containing your order details and access link.
- If the email is delayed or does not arrive, your purchase is not lost. You can request a secure recovery link using the same email address used at checkout or contact us with your order number or Payfast proof of payment.
4. Paying Securely With Payfast
Payments are processed securely through Payfast by Network. You enter your card, banking, or other payment-method details on Payfast's secure payment page, not directly on The Rumble God website. We do not receive or store your card number, CVV, banking password, PIN, or one-time password.
Prices and order records on this store are in South African rand (ZAR). Payfast may offer different payment methods or currency options. Any payment amount, conversion information, or applicable Payfast charge will be shown for you to review before approving the payment.
Please use only a payment method that you are authorised to use. By reviewing your order, accepting the purchase terms, and approving payment through Payfast, you confirm that you understand and consent to paying for the digital music shown at checkout.
Your purchase is treated as paid only after Payfast confirms successful payment and our website verifies that confirmation. A cancelled, declined, expired, or still-pending payment will not unlock the music.
Because digital music can be downloaded, copied, or used after access is provided, we cannot reliably confirm whether a purchased file has already been downloaded or used. For this reason, completed digital music purchases are normally non-refundable once payment is confirmed or access is provided, except where a refund or other remedy is required by South African law. The full refund policy appears in Section 6 below.
We keep records of confirmed payments. If you pay successfully but cannot access your music, email marimba@therumblegod.co.za using the purchase email address and include your order number if available. We will verify the order and personally help you recover your music, guide you through the secure access process, or email the purchased files where practical.
Payfast uses a highly secure payment platform with industry security and verification measures, so incorrect or duplicate charges should be uncommon. If the amount charged is higher than the final amount you approved at checkout, or if the same order is charged more than once, email marimba@therumblegod.co.za with your purchase email address, order number if available, and proof of the charge. Once verified, you are entitled to a full refund of the amount overcharged or duplicated. This does not limit any other remedy available to you under South African law.
Payfast may apply its own payment-security, verification, and fraud-prevention procedures. These procedures do not remove your rights under South African law or our responsibility for music purchased directly from this website.
If you notice an incorrect, duplicated, or unauthorised payment, please contact us and Payfast or your payment provider as soon as possible. Never send your card number, CVV, PIN, banking password, or one-time password by email, message, or support form.
5. Daily Offers And Discounts
From time to time, we may offer selected music at a discounted price. A daily offer may be selected automatically by the website or chosen by The Rumble God and will remain available only for the period displayed.
The available discount, regular price, discounted price, and remaining offer time will be shown on the website. The amount displayed in the final checkout is the amount that will be submitted to Payfast.
If an offer expires or its price changes before payment, the website will refresh your cart and ask you to review the updated price. You may accept the new price, change your order, or cancel without paying.
Discounts for direct digital purchases must be applied through the official checkout unless The Rumble God confirms another arrangement in writing. If you receive an offer through email, social media, WhatsApp, or another source and are unsure whether it is genuine, please contact marimba@therumblegod.co.za before paying.
If you are charged more than the final discounted amount you approved, the overcharge protection in Section 4 applies and the verified overcharged amount will be refunded in full.
Receiving a discounted price does not reduce any rights you have under South African consumer law.
6. Fair Refunds For Digital Music
We want you to receive and enjoy the music you paid for. Because access to digital music is provided after payment and the files can then be downloaded, copied, or used, we cannot reliably confirm whether a purchased file has already been accessed or used. Digital files also cannot be returned in the same way as physical products.
For these reasons, a refund will not normally be available merely because you changed your mind or selected the wrong music after working access has been provided. Please review your selected items, email address, and total before approving payment.
We will not leave you without the music you paid for. If payment is confirmed but your purchased music is missing, corrupted, materially different from its description, or cannot be accessed, please email marimba@therumblegod.co.za. We will verify the order and first try to restore access, replace the affected file, email the purchased music where practical, or guide you through the recovery process.
You will be entitled to an appropriate refund or other remedy where:
- we cannot provide the purchased music after a verified successful payment;
- the supplied file is defective or materially different from what was advertised and we cannot correct it;
- you were charged more than the final amount you approved or were charged more than once, as explained in Section 4; or
- South African law otherwise requires a refund or remedy.
A refund will not normally be provided solely because you changed your mind, lost or deleted a working file, experienced a device or storage problem after receiving a working standard-format file, or shared your access link or music contrary to these terms. We will still make reasonable efforts to help genuine customers recover verified purchases.
Approved refunds will ordinarily be processed through Payfast to the original payment method and may be subject to Payfast's verification and processing timelines. We will provide confirmation when a refund has been processed.
Nothing in this policy excludes or limits any consumer right or remedy that cannot legally be excluded under South African law.
7. Personal Help Accessing Your Purchase
If your payment was successful but you cannot access your music, please email marimba@therumblegod.co.za. Where possible, contact us using the same email address entered at checkout.
To help us locate and protect your purchase, please include your order number if available. We may also ask for the purchase email address, Payfast transaction reference, payment date, amount, or proof of payment. Please never send us your complete card number, CVV, banking password, PIN, or one-time password.
After verifying your purchase, we will personally help you receive your music. Depending on the problem, we may:
- resend or replace your secure access link;
- help correct an email-address mistake after verifying payment;
- restore access to your purchase library;
- guide you through downloading the music; or
- email the purchased files to you where practical.
If the information supplied is not enough to verify the purchase, we will explain what additional information is needed. To protect genuine customers, we cannot release purchased music to someone whose connection to the order cannot reasonably be verified.
If your successful payment is verified but we cannot provide the purchased music within a reasonable time, you will be entitled to the refund or other remedy described in Section 6.
Please keep your access links private. If you lose a link or accidentally delete a file, contact us and we will help recover your verified purchase.
8. Your Personal Music Licence
When your purchase is confirmed, you receive a personal, non-exclusive licence to download and enjoy the purchased music. You may:
- download the purchased files to your personal devices;
- listen to the music privately;
- keep reasonable backup copies for your own use; and
- recover your verified purchase through the support process described above.
Buying the music does not transfer ownership of the copyright, composition, performance, master recording, artwork, or other intellectual-property rights to you.
Unless you have written permission from The Rumble God or the relevant rights holder, you may not:
- sell, share, upload, publish, redistribute, or make the files available to others;
- share your private download or purchase-access link;
- commercially release a remix, sample, edit, or adaptation of the music;
- use the music in advertising, paid media, films, games, apps, products, or other commercial projects; or
- claim that you created or own the purchased music.
If you would like to use the music in a video, performance, production, lesson, commercial project, remix, or other public work, please email marimba@therumblegod.co.za. We would be happy to discuss the appropriate permission or licence.
Nothing in this section prohibits a use that South African copyright law expressly allows without the copyright holder's permission.
9. Your Email Address And Purchase Records
Please enter an email address that you can access. We use it to deliver your music, send your order confirmation, provide purchase support, and help you recover verified purchases.
Confirmed purchases made using the same email address may be grouped into one secure purchase library. Your email address does not, by itself, give someone access to the music; a secure purchase or recovery link is also required.
If you make a mistake when entering your email address, please contact marimba@therumblegod.co.za. After verifying the payment, we will help correct the email address or restore access to the purchase.
We may process and retain your purchase email, order number, purchased items, payment status, Payfast transaction reference, access records, and relevant support communications for:
- completing and delivering your purchase;
- providing access recovery and customer support;
- preventing fraud or unauthorised access;
- keeping accurate financial and transaction records; and
- meeting our legal obligations.
Entering your email address at checkout does not automatically subscribe you to advertising or promotional emails. Marketing messages will be handled separately and only as permitted by South African law.
We will keep purchase information only for as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes or as required by law. You may ask us to correct inaccurate purchase information by emailing marimba@therumblegod.co.za.
Please keep your order number and secure access links private. You do not need to send us sensitive banking credentials to receive purchase support.
10. Availability, Corrections And Technical Problems
We work to keep the store, music descriptions, prices, checkout, download system, and purchase records accurate and available. Temporary interruptions may occasionally occur because of maintenance, hosting, internet, email-delivery, or payment-notification problems.
If the website detects that a price or item changed before payment, it will stop checkout, refresh your cart, and ask you to review the change. You may accept the updated order, change it, or cancel without paying.
We will not increase the price of a completed purchase after you have approved and paid the final checkout amount.
If a catalogue, pricing, or technical error is discovered after successful payment, we will contact you or help when you contact us. Depending on the circumstances, we will:
- provide the music shown in your confirmed order at the amount you approved;
- correct the affected file or restore access;
- offer an alternative only with your agreement; or
- provide an appropriate refund where the original purchase cannot be supplied.
A temporary interruption does not automatically require a refund if we can restore working access within a reasonable time. If your payment is verified and we cannot provide the purchased music within a reasonable time, the refund and remedy protections in Section 6 will apply.
Music and offers may be added to or removed from future sale. Removing music from the storefront does not remove your personal-use licence for files you already lawfully downloaded.
If you experience a problem, email marimba@therumblegod.co.za with your purchase email address and order number if available. We will personally help investigate and resolve it.
11. Payfast, External Stores And Partner Links
Payfast is the secure payment processor for digital music purchased directly from The Rumble God website. Payfast processes the payment, but Alistair Dickerson remains the supplier responsible for providing music purchased directly from this store.
This website may also link to independent services such as Fourthwall, streaming platforms, YouTube, social-media platforms, hosting providers, and other partner websites. When a link takes you to an external store or service, purchases made there are generally supplied by that third party under its own prices, delivery arrangements, refund policy, privacy policy, and terms.
TRG Clothing Store: The clothing storefront is an external partner store operated through Fourthwall. Product information may be displayed on The Rumble God website for convenience, but product checkout and payment take place on Fourthwall. Fourthwall is the merchant of record and manages payment processing, manufacturing, shipping, clothing-order support, returns, and refunds under its own policies. Clothing payments are not processed through The Rumble God digital music checkout, and the music purchase, delivery, and refund terms in Sections 3 to 7 do not apply to Fourthwall clothing orders.
African Ethos Marimba Store: The Marimba Store is an external partner storefront managed through the separate African Ethos website. Product information and live pricing may be displayed here for convenience, but configuration, quotations, ordering, and payment continue on African Ethos. African Ethos is responsible for its product availability, instrument specifications, order payments, manufacturing or fulfilment, delivery, warranties, returns, refunds, and customer support. Marimba payments are not processed through The Rumble God digital music checkout, and the music purchase, delivery, and refund terms in Sections 3 to 7 do not apply to African Ethos orders.
Calling these stores partners does not reduce any consumer rights you may have against the supplier responsible for the external purchase. The Rumble God remains responsible for keeping its own descriptions and links reasonably accurate and will help direct customers to the appropriate external support channel.
We will try to identify clearly when you are leaving The Rumble God website or buying from an external supplier. Please review the external supplier's information before completing a purchase.
Some partner links may be affiliate links. This means The Rumble God may receive a referral benefit or commission if you follow the link or make a qualifying purchase, normally without increasing the price you pay. Where applicable, we will aim to identify this relationship clearly.
External services may change their content, prices, availability, or policies without our control. We will make reasonable efforts to keep our descriptions and links accurate, but the external supplier remains responsible for fulfilling purchases made directly through its service.
These external arrangements do not reduce:
- our responsibility for digital music sold directly through this website;
- our responsibility for statements or representations we make ourselves; or
- any consumer rights you may have against the relevant external supplier.
If you are unsure who is responsible for a purchase, email marimba@therumblegod.co.za and we will help direct you to the correct support channel.
13. Contact, Support And Complaints
The supplier responsible for digital music purchased directly from this website is Alistair Dickerson, a natural person and sole proprietor trading as The Rumble God and Rumble Websites, based in Lakeside, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.
Website: https://therumblegod.co.za
For purchase support, please include the email address used at checkout and your order number if available. You may also provide Payfast proof of payment, but please never send your complete card number, CVV, PIN, banking password, or one-time password.
We aim to resolve genuine purchase, access, payment, privacy, and refund concerns directly and fairly. If your concern involves a Payfast payment process, we may also guide you to Payfast or your payment provider while remaining responsible for music sold directly through this website.
Contacting us first does not prevent you from exercising any right or using any complaint or dispute-resolution process available under South African law.
14. Updates, South African Law And Fair Interpretation
We may update these terms when the store changes or when legal, payment, security, or customer-support requirements need to be clarified. Each version will display its last-updated date.
Changes apply prospectively from the date they are published. The terms presented when you completed a purchase will continue to govern that purchase unless a change is required by law, benefits you, or you expressly agree to it. We will not use a later update to remove rights that applied when you paid.
Where reasonably practical, we will highlight a material change that could affect customers. Before making a future purchase, you will be asked to accept the version of the terms then shown at checkout.
These terms and direct purchases from The Rumble God website are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Nothing in these terms prevents you from using any consumer complaint, dispute-resolution, regulator, tribunal, or court process available to you under applicable law.
If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, it will be removed or adjusted only as far as necessary, and the remaining terms will continue to apply. No part of these terms should be interpreted as excluding a right or remedy that cannot legally be excluded.
