If you are not entirely satisfied with your product(s), please view our procedures for returns and refunds below.
1.1 The Company shall, subject to the exclusions provided for below and the provisions relating to any return of products, allow the return of products, within seven days of the date of receipt by you of the products.
1.2 Once products have been received by the client, the Company has no control over it. As such we do not accept responsibility for any damages or shortages not reported within 24 hours after delivery.
1.3 The provisions of this agreement relating to the return of goods and cancellation of any agreement to provide services shall not apply if:

1.3.6 Where the products are perishable or will expire rapidly;

1.4 Whilst every effort has been made to fulfil all orders correctly, should you take our goods to an external branding company, we ask that you check all items received BEFORE they get branded.
1.5 The Company cannot accept returns on incorrect items which have already been branded regardless of whether it’s the Company’s fault or not.
1.6 It may take up to a week to carefully check the products that are returned and once we are satisfied that the products are fit for resale we will issue the refund or credit note.
1.7 In the case of products being sent by courier to regions outside of Johannesburg (i.e. Durban, Cape Town etc), clients have 72 hours from time of collection by courier, to report missing or damaged items. No claims will be entertained thereafter.
1.8 Any collected product(s) that is on special or has been discontinued, will not be acceptable for retuning unless the said product(s) is damaged or faulty.
1.9 We do not accept returns or changes to orders for items that need to be assembled – eg. DS-AM-18-B.
2. Return of Products
2.1 If incorrect, damaged or faulty products are supplied by Protea Design, Protea Design will exchange the product(s) for a new one.
