Refund policy

COVID-19 RETURNS TERMS AND CONDITIONS

In light of the Government restrictions that have been put in place during the national Covid-19 lockdown, we have had to make some temporary changes to our returns policy.

These changes will apply with immediate effect in addition to the Standard Terms and Conditions. Where there are any inconsistencies between these Covid-19 Returns, Terms and Conditions, and our Standard Terms and Conditions, these Covid-19 Returns Terms and Conditions will apply specifically during the lockdown period.

Returns may be logged for approval on all items during the lockdown period. We will not accept any returns during lockdown in South Africa but will make the necessary efforts based at our discretion. This due to the hygiene protection of our products after it has left our facility.
