Warranty returns

Products sold are individually covered by manufacturer warranties, please familiarize yourself with the length, terms and conditions of any warranty cover on the items that you purchase. Unless stated otherwise by the manufacturer, warranties only apply to goods supplied within the Republic of South Africa for personal use. In most cases warranty claims will be handled by the manufacturer’s approved agents.

Certain brands may offer a lifetime warranty of their product. The term Lifetime is determined by the average lifetime of the fabrics, material and components of the product. As with all items, over time they will wear from use at a natural rate and from exposure to the elements, the lifetime guarantee of products will depend on how well they are cared for and how they are used.
