1. RETURNS UNDER THE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT
Our return policy is subject to the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA), where applicable.
Nothing in this policy is intended to limit or remove any consumer right that cannot legally be excluded.
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights relating to products that are defective, unsafe, not of the type or quality reasonably expected, or otherwise do not comply with applicable legal requirements.

Please contact us as soon as possible if you receive a product that:

To help us resolve the issue quickly, please contact us with:
- Your order number;
- Your full name;

We may request additional information to assess the issue.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, we may offer a repair, replacement, refund, or another appropriate remedy.

4. PRODUCTS THAT CANNOT BE RETURNED
For health, hygiene, and safety reasons, certain products may not be eligible for return after being opened or used, unless the product is defective or another legal right applies.

For eligible change-of-mind returns, the customer may be responsible for return shipping costs unless otherwise agreed.
