Consumer Protection Act

If the Product is not protected by our guarantees you are still protected by the Consumer

The Consumer Protection Act states that all products come with a 6 month implied warranty;
that the products are –

• Reasonably suited for the purpose for which it was generally intended;
• Of good quality and are in good working order; and
• Usable and durable for a reasonable period of time.

In the event that the Product does not comply with any of the above Consumer Protection Act
warranties you have the option, within 6 months from the purchase of the Product, to either:

All of our guarantees operate concurrently with and not in addition to the implied 6 month
warranty period provided for in the Consumer Protection Act.

Conditions of returns

You have 30 days to return a Product for any reason provided that the Product is in its
original condition and preferably if the Product is in its original packaging and is unused.
You are required to submit your till slip as proof of purchase in order to achieve the return. If
you do not have your till slip we will not be able to complete the return but we may permit a
replacement of the Product for equal value.
In order to effect a return on a bank card you must present the same card that was used to
make the purchase. Unfortunately, we will not be able to do a refund if you do not have the
same card that was used to make the purchase.
In case of a manufacturing defect, we will take the Product back, no questions asked.

After the expiry of the implied 6 month warranty period, based on our assessment (condition
of the product and length/frequency of use), we retain the right to accept or refuse the return,
and in the case of a return, will choose the adapted solution (repair, exchange, partial or full
refund).

We reserve the right to effect a partial refund only, if the Product is not returned in its
original packaging or if it has been used to an extent where we are unable to resell the
Product.
