Defective products may be returned for repair, replacement, or refund within the first 6 (six) months of purchase, subject to the CPA and BeauTconnect’s Returns Policy.

5. Product Inspections and Exchange Conditions

All returned products are subject to inspection by BeauTconnect before any repair, exchange, or refund is processed.

Once the returned device has been assessed and BeauTconnect confirms the claim, the following options may be available:

  • Repair: Where the fault is repairable and covered under warranty.
  • Exchange: BeauTconnect may offer an exchange or store credit, depending on the assessment.

Refunds are generally not offered under normal circumstances. Where appropriate, BeauTconnect may assist by reselling the device based on its market value and condition.

6. Rectification of Software Issues

If a return or refund is requested but no fault is found, or the reported issue is software-related and can be resolved, BeauTconnect will rectify the software issue and return the product in good working order.

7. Exchange Process

You may exchange a returned product for another product (the “Exchange Product”) of the same value.

  • If the Exchange Product is of a higher value, you must pay the price difference.
  • If the Exchange Product is of a lower value, BeauTconnect will refund the balance to your original method of payment.

8. Handling Fees

BeauTconnect may charge a handling fee of up to 20% if:

  • The packaging has been opened, damaged, or tampered with.
  • The product or any of its components are missing.
  • The product is not returned in its original condition.

Any missing items will be charged at their replacement value.
