Refund and Returns Policy

We want you to be happy with your purchase. If you are not completely satisfied, you can return the product to us and we will either repair/replace it, or credit your account, subject to the below terms. This Policy applies to products bought from Bracing Health Wellness itself. 

 

Please note that Bracing Health Wellness may, from time to time and at its discretion, restrict the use 

of the credit in your account with respect of certain products.

 

Certain parts of this Policy do not apply to Unboxed Deals, reconditioned products or used products, 

and this is indicated in the relevant sections below. Unboxed Deals are returned products that are 

offered for sale at discounted prices, because their original packaging is damaged, unsealed or 

missing, or the products show signs of handling and/or re-packaging.

 

This Policy forms part of the Bracing Health Wellness Terms and Conditions, and so words defined in the Terms and Conditions have the same meaning in this Policy, unless the context indicates otherwise. Nothing in this Policy is intended to limit your statutory rights in any way.

To ensure your request is processed as quickly as possible you are responsible for the following when 

returning your products;

 package your products safely and securely for protection during transit;

 clearly mark your return reference number on the outside of the parcel; and

 include all accessories and parts that were sold with the product.

 

Failure to adhere to any of these requirements could delay the processing of your request or result in 

its decline altogether.

 

You can return an unwanted product to us at no charge, provided:

 it is undamaged and unused, with the original labels and stickers still attached;

save in relation to Unboxed Deals, reconditioned products and used products, it is in the original packaging, which must be undamaged and in its original condition with all seals still intact (if applicable).

it is not missing any accessories or parts;

you log a return on the Website within 30 days of delivery to you or collection by you of the unwanted product. After 30 days, you can only return a product if it is defective; and

it is not one of the products listed below.

 

 

Where you have changed your mind and would like a credit for a product, you can return it – provided the product is not:

a beauty product or fragrance which has been used.

 

We will collect the product from you at no charge. Once we have inspected the product and validated your return, we will credit your account with the purchase price of the product within 10 days of the return (or refund you if that is your preference).

 

 

If we accidentally deliver the wrong product to you, or if the product is not as described on the  Website, please notify us and we will collect the product from you at no charge. If the product is missing any accessories or parts, you will need to follow the process set out in section 2 below. Once we have inspected the product and validated your return, we will at your choice deliver the correct product to you as soon as possible (if the correct product is available); or credit your account with the purchase price of the product within 10 days of the return (or refund you if that is your 

preference).

 

 

Should a product be damaged or missing any parts or accessories at the time of delivery / collection, please notify us within 7 days of such delivery / collection by logging a return on the Website.

 

We will arrange to collect the product from you at no charge. Once we have inspected the product and validated your return, we will at your choice repair / replace the product as soon as possible (if such repair is possible/ we have the same product in stock to use as a replacement) or credit your account with the purchase price of the product (or refund you if that is your preference).

 

 

We do our best to ensure that the products we deliver to you are of high quality, and in good working order and without defects.

 

What is a defect? 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. 

 

The following will NOT be regarded as defects and will not entitle you to a return under this section 

3:

faults resulting from normal wear and tear;

damage arising from negligence, user abuse or incorrect usage of the product;

damage arising from a failure to adequately care for the product;

damage arising from unauthorized alterations to the product;

where the specifications of a product, although accurately described on the Website and generally fit for its intended purpose, do not suit you; and

used products, signs of handling and/or repackaging.

 

 

If you have received a product which turns 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 logging a return on the Website or sending an email to orders@bracinghealth.co.za, and we will arrange to collect the product from you at no charge. Once we have inspected the product and validated your return, we will at your choice repair / replace the product (if such repair is possible / we have the same product in stock to use as a replacement) or credit your account with the purchase price of the product (or refund you if that is your preference). 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.

 

 

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.

 

If you return a product that does not comply with this Policy, you may be liable to reimburse Bracing Health Wellness for the cost of collecting the product from you and the cost of having the product returned to you.

 

Under no circumstances will donations you make on our Website, or any goodwill credit you may receive from us, be refunded.

Please note that we only refund to the payment method that you originally used – i.e. payment by credit card will be refunded to the same credit card, payment by Instant EFT or COD (cash on delivery) will be refunded to your nominated bank account, and payment by Discovery Miles or eBucks will be refunded to your Discovery Miles or eBucks account.

 

If you used the Nedbank Personal Loan payment method, your refund will be processed as follows: 

If, at any time, items are returned (and such return is approved by Takealot) in accordance with the this Returns policy or cancelled before delivery in accordance with customer terms and conditions, the value of the validated refund or cancelled item (as the case may be) will be credited to your loan account or repaid to you by Nedbank.

 

However, if you, within 45 days of that order being placed, process a return of your entire order (and such return is approved by Takealot) in accordance with the Return Policy or you cancel your entire order before delivery, and there is no delivery charge on the order, then Nedbank will refund you with any fees and interest due on the loan and cancel the loan accordingly.
