The fine print
- Participation to this Special Project is open to members of zaLUG only.
- When ordering the sets, you agree to build and display them at at least one official #teamGBC event that will be communicated to you once the Special Project process has been finalised. After displaying at the event, the parts are yours to do with as you please.
- The parts list excludes Power Functions cables and motors.
- Each module includes 20 GBC balls for testing. Additional orange balls can be ordered at around R70/25 balls.
- Instructions will be supplied in a downloadable PDF.
- Prices quoted are based on the prevailing exchange rate, and is subject to change. The price also excludes shipping and bank charges, which we believe to be around 5% of the total value.
- Members who order two or more modules will have access to order bulk parts from the existing parts list. Note that these parts MUST be used to create GBC module(s) or builds related to the Special Project, and must be displayed at the event that will be communicated to you once the Special Project process has been finalised. Note that minimum and maximum quantities on ordering individual parts may apply.
- No parts purchased as part of a Special Project may be sold.
- Payment required on presentation of invoice. This could be days, weeks or even months. Parts are expected to ship by the end of the year.
