Refund & Returns Policy

Refund Policy

1. Overview

At CW Global, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. This Refund Policy outlines the terms under which you may return products and request a refund, in accordance with the South African Consumer Protection Act (CPA), 2008.

2. Cooling-Off Period (CPA Section 44)

As an online consumer, you have the right to cancel your purchase and return goods within 7 days of delivery, without providing a reason. This cooling-off period applies to all online purchases and is your right under Section 44 of the CPA.

To qualify for a cooling-off return:

  • The request must be made within 7 days of receiving the goods.
  • Goods must be unused, in their original condition, and in original packaging.
  • All tags and seals must be intact.

A reasonable restocking fee may apply as permitted by the CPA. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer for cooling-off returns.

3. Defective Goods

If you receive a product that is defective, damaged, or not as described, you are entitled to a remedy within 6 months of purchase under the CPA. You may choose one of the following:

  • Repair of the defective product
  • Replacement with an identical or similar product
  • Full refund of the purchase price

For defective goods, CW Global will cover the cost of return shipping.
