3: 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. Example a chipped/broken crystal or damaged wood burner. Note crystals do have natural flaws and these are not regarded as defects (they are the whims of Mother Nature:)

The following will NOT be regarded as defects and will not entitle you to a return under this section 3:

damage arising from negligence, user abuse or incorrect usage of the product;
damage arising from a failure to adequately care for 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

4: Gift Vouchers & Coupons

There are two types of Coupons: a Coupon with a fixed amount of a discount, e.g. R100 off (“Fixed Coupon”), and a Coupon with a percentage discount, e.g. 10% off (“Percentage Coupon”).

Where you have used a Fixed Coupon to pay for an order, and you or Soul Sparks later cancels your order (or part thereof) prior to delivery of the relevant product(s), or you log a return of one or more products for a credit in accordance with the Returns Policy, the value of the Fixed Coupon will be deducted off the purchase price of the cancelled or returned product(s) (as applicable), and we will refund you or credit you for the balance, if any. We will also provide you with a replacement Fixed Coupon of the same value as the original Fixed Coupon used. Soul Sparks may in its sole discretion impose restrictions on the use of the replacement Fixed Coupon. For any subsequent cancellations or returns arising out of the same order, we will refund you or credit you as normal with the value of the returned product.

Where you have used a Percentage Coupon to pay for an order, and you or Soul Sparks later cancels your order (or part thereof) prior to delivery of the relevant product(s), or you log a return of one or more products for a credit in accordance with the Returns Policy, the value of the discount received using the Percentage Coupon will be deducted off the purchase price of the cancelled or returned product(s) (as applicable), and we will refund or credit you, if any. We will also provide you with a replacement Fixed Coupon of the same value as the discount received using the original Percentage Coupon. Soul Sparks may in its sole discretion impose restrictions on the use of the replacement Fixed Coupon. For any subsequent cancellations or returns arising out of the same order, we will refund or credit you with the value of the returned product.

Wherever you have used a Gift Voucher to purchase a product that you later return for a refund in accordance with the Policy, we cannot refund you in cash for that portion of the purchase price which you paid using the Gift Voucher, but we will refund or credit you.

5: Charges and refunds

If you return a defective product (excluding eBooks) 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) to refuse the return, only to replace the item that you did return, or to estimate the value of the missing accessories and parts and only to credit or refund you in respect of the returned item.
