Refund and Returns Policy

🔁 Exchanges, Returns & Refunds Policy

Mooiste Meisie

At Mooiste Meisie, we take pride in the quality and hygiene of our cosmetic products. This policy outlines the conditions under which exchanges, returns, or refunds may be considered, in accordance with the South African Consumer Protection Act (CPA).

1. Scope & Application

This policy applies to all purchases made via https://mooiste.shop/ and governs exchanges, returns, and refunds for cosmetic products.

Due to the hygiene-sensitive nature of cosmetics, strict conditions apply.

2. Exchanges for Manufacturing Defects Only

We offer exchanges only for products that are found to have a verified manufacturing defect, subject to investigation.

A manufacturing defect refers to a fault that:

  • Originated during production
  • Existed at the time of supply
  • Was not caused by transit damage, misuse, contamination, or customer handling

All defect claims are assessed on a case-by-case basis and may require:

  • Clear photographic or video evidence from the customer
  • Review of our quality control and dispatch records
  • Inspection of the product where necessary

If a manufacturing defect is confirmed, we will issue an exchange for the same product.

3. No Refunds on Cosmetic Products

For hygiene, safety, and regulatory reasons, Mooiste Meisie does not offer refunds on cosmetic products.

Once a product has been:

  • Opened
  • Used
  • Swatched
  • Partially consumed
  • Contaminated

It cannot be resold, and accepting it back would result in a loss to our business.
As such, refunds are not available under these circumstances.

4. Used, Opened & Contaminated Products

We reserve the right to decline exchanges or returns where investigation shows that:

  • The product was opened or used
  • The product was contaminated after delivery
  • The product was misused or mishandled
  • There is evidence of tampering or alteration

Cosmetic products are classified as hygiene-sensitive goods, and customers are responsible for proper handling once delivery has taken place.

5. Courier Damage & Transit Handling

All orders are carefully packed and inspected prior to dispatch.
Where applicable, video and/or photographic evidence is recorded to confirm that products leave our facility in perfect condition.

Damage caused during courier transit:

  • Does not constitute a manufacturing defect
  • Is attributed to courier handling
  • Is handled through the courier’s formal claims process

Courier-related damage does not qualify for refunds or automatic exchanges.

6. Reporting an Issue

Any issue must be reported within 24 hours of delivery.

Customers are required to provide:

  • Clear photos of the damaged or defective product
  • Photos of the inner and outer packaging
  • A photo of the parcel with the waybill clearly visible

Failure to report within this timeframe or provide sufficient evidence may result in the claim being declined.

7. False Claims, Misrepresentation & Abuse

Mooiste Meisie reserves the right to refuse exchanges, returns, or refunds where:

  • Claims are found to be false or misleading
  • Evidence is inconsistent with a manufacturing defect
  • Products show signs of use, contamination, or tampering

Any attempt to obtain a refund or exchange through misrepresentation may be declined in accordance with the CPA.

8. Investigation & Final Decision

All claims are subject to:

  • Verification
  • Evidence review
  • Quality control assessment

The outcome of the investigation will determine whether an exchange is approved.
All decisions are final and made in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act and hygiene regulations.
