Defective Products

Defective products are those that had a defect or were unsafe when we supplied them.

We will assess such cases on a case-to-case basis. We are under no obligation to provide you with a credit, repair or replacement. However, since we want your experience to be as positive as possible, we will facilitate the discussion for replacement or repair between you and the supplier.do what we can to assist.

Warranties on any of our goods will be invalid if any person who is not suitably qualified has opened, tampered with or altered the goods contrary to the instructions or removed the warranty label.
