If the products are missing any accessories or parts, you will need to follow the process set out in section 2 below.

A defect is a material imperfection in the manufacture of a product or any characteristic of a product, which makes the product less acceptable than one would reasonably be entitled to expect in the circumstances.

Standard Warranty If you have received products that turn out to be defective or otherwise of poor quality (save for manufacturer warranty products which are discussed below), please notify us as soon as reasonably possible after you become aware of the defect or poor quality, but in any event within 6 months after delivery / collection of the product (except in the case of an extended supplier warranty, which is set out below). You can do so by emailing info@firstaidsupplies.co.za, and we will arrange to collect the products from you at no charge. Once we have inspected the products and validated your return, we will at your choice repair / replace the products (if such repair is possible / we have the same products in stock to use as a replacement). If the repair / replacement takes longer than 21 days, we will get in touch with you to see if you would rather receive a credit / refund. Where there is no extended supplier warranty period, unfortunately we cannot facilitate returns that fall outside of the 6 month period. Charges and refunds If you return a defective product to us, but you fail to return all of the accessories and parts that were sold with that product, we are entitled to (subject to applicable law) refuse the return, or only to replace the item that you did return; or to estimate the value of the missing accessories and parts and to credit or refund you in respect of the returned item only.
