2. Defective Products

We do our best to ensure that the products we deliver to you are of a high quality 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:

• 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 unauthorised alterations to the product; and

If you have received a product which turns out to be defective, please email us (sales@platinumselection.co.za) as soon as reasonably possible after you become aware of the defect. 

For a defective product claim, we will arrange the first courier free of charge and have the unit assessed by the technical department. Once the assessment is complete and if the unit is faulty, a new unit or a refund will be processed. If the unit is found to have no fault at all, you will be responsible for arranging the collection of the product from us or we can arrange the courier at an additional cost. Platinum Selection reserves the right to charge a 10% handling fee on no fault found returns should it be necessary. 

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.

Non-returnable items:
- Gift cards

Refunds (if applicable)

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund once the unit has been passed through a technical assessment and report.
