Any customer that is also a consumer under the CPA may decide whether we should either replace or refund the defective products.
Invalidation of warranties and right to return unsuitable products.
Our products are very precise and are manufactured and repaired under controlled conditions.Warranties on any of our products will be invalid if any person who is not suitably qualified has opened, tampered with or altered the products contrary to the instructions or removed the warranty label.
This also applies to products found to be unsuitable. It may be fraud to damage products deliberately to claim a refund.
Statutory right to return unsuitable products.
Our customer that is also a consumer under the CPA may return products within ten days of delivery if they could not examine them before delivery and then discover that the products are not what they ordered or expected, or are not suitable for a specific purpose that they communicated to us in writing.
Returns of unsuitable products.
A consumer must return unsuitable products within ten days of delivery according to our returns and refunds procedure below.
Refund price of unsuitable products.
We will refund the full price of any unsuitable products in their original unopened packaging. For opened products, we may deduct or charge a reasonable amount for any use of the products plus certain costs necessary for repackaging and restocking, subject to the CPA. These costs are usually up to 25% of the cost of the products.
Delivery costs.
We will cover costs of returning defective or unsuitable products. We may inspect the products to confirm that they are defective, or in case of unsuitable opened products, that quantities used seem reasonable, before we do so.
Our returns and refunds procedure.
Only products purchased on www.it-on-demand.co.za will be considered for refund or exchange. We keep track of serial numbers.
Our returns and refunds procedure is as follows:
If you are dissatisfied with the products delivered to you and want to apply for either a product exchange, product repair, product upgrade or a refund, I.T On Demand must be notified in writing within 5 days from date of purchase.
Confirm your contact details, date of purchase, Order/Invoice Number, and all details of the physical products that you want to return, including how and why you believe the products are defective or unsuitable for your purpose.
In the event you require an exchange, please indicate what alternative product you believe may be better suited, or ask our Technical department to assist you.
Any return of physical goods purchased on it-on-demand.co.za will require a pee-authorisation to be issued.
Authorization will be issued within 1 to 2 business days from time of receiving your request.
Once your return request has been approved, a return Instruction will be communicated to our courier company, for collection of the goods.
Returning the Product:
If the product(s) ordered and delivered are unsuitable, and you wish to exchange them for another selection, we will gladly assist you in validating which alternative product(s) may be more suited for you.
Kindly note that we will only process exchange of product(s), if products returned to us are in original condition, eg unopened, and in the original intact packaging. Once returned goods have been received and inspected, we will process the exchange and initiate the shipment of the replacement products to you. I.T On Demand will liaise with you to confirm when goods have been validated for exchange, and when replacement products have been shipped to you. Note that replacement of products can only take place if alternative product is of the same value. If you wish to have the original product(s) replaced by other products of a higher value, we may decide to refund that transaction entirely and assist you in placing a new order for a new amount.
Once the goods authorized for return have been collected by our courier company, please send an email to info@it-on-demand.co.za, providing us with the tracking number communicated to you by the courier company at time of collecting the parcel. Shipping of the returned parcel back to I.T On Demand will take place via standard shipping. Please allow up to 3 working days from the date on which the package was collected for it to reach us.
Once we have received the package, we will notify you via email that we have received the physical products.
In the event the goods received are not in their original condition, we reserve the right to not agree on an exchange or refund, and will then contact you to notify you of potential alternative process we may agree upon.
Any return of physical products must include all accessories and instructions, and returned in original packaging.
Processing a Refund:
If you require a refund we will refund the price paid by you for the goods (exclusive of the initial delivery charge) within thirty (7) days of receiving your returned goods, provided that you have returned the goods to I.T On Demand in their original condition within 14 working days of delivery.
Refunds will only be made against the original credit/debit card used.
Until such goods are returned to us, you are obliged to exercise all reasonable care to store the cancelled goods safely.
Please Note: We cannot accept returned goods that we reasonably believe have been used, altered or tampered with in any way. In such circumstances, we will notify you that no refund will be available and you will be responsible for arranging for such goods to be returned to you within 28 days of our notification.
As a Customer, you are entitled to apply for a refund if you believe products delivered are unsuitable as stated above, or if you decide to invoke a cooling-off period as stated above.
In either case, you need to communicate to us in writing via email with reasons as to why you believe the products are unsuitable, or to notify us of your intent to exercise a cooling-off period. Items must still be in original condition as supplied to you.
Processing of a refund claim will only take place once I.T On Demand has received the returned goods and been able to inspect the products.
If you claim that our products are defective, we will send items back to our distributors/manufacturers for examination. The applicable distributor/manufacturer will report to I.T On Demand whether the products were defective, were misused or are of good quality.
If you claim that our products are unsuitable for your purpose, we will first investigate whether you communicated the purpose to us. If you did, we will then provide you with a written report indicating whether we believe the products were unsuitable for your specific purpose or not.
If you returned the products within the seven day cooling-off period and our technician reports that the products were defective, were provided to you for your specific purpose and were unsuitable for that purpose, then we will either contact you and ask you whether you would like us to replace or refund the price of the products (if you are also a consumer under the CPA) or advise you how we have decided to compensate you (if you are not a consumer under the CPA).
If the products were returned outside the seven day cooling-off period, or our technician reports that the products were misused, were of good quality, were not provided to you for a specific purpose or were suitable for that purpose, then we will not replace or refund the products.
Our customer services department may tell you that they do not believe you have a claim, for example because the warranty period of the products has expired. In this case we may refuse to replace products, or refuse to pay a refund If you choose for us to replace the products or we decide to do so ourselves, we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to organize the necessary steps to repair or replace the products. if you choose for us to make a refund or we decide to do so ourselves, we will contact you and arrange payment of the refunded amount into your bank account used to process the purchase.
