Product Replacement
A. 
Should Burnt supply the incorrect Product or if the Product you received is damaged, the Company shall exchange the Product for a new one, provided that the damaged or incorrect unit is returned in its original packaging with all the tags and extras still as received. If the customer however wears or uses the product or removes any sanitary pad (when it is swimwear), stickers or tags of the incorrect, damaged or faulty item, then the free exchange by Burnt Studios for a new item is void. 

B.
Should you use your product and spot a factory fault within 30 days of receiving it, Burnt will then replace that item for you. Please email support@burnt.co.za for more info.

 

Size labels and care labels on the inside of garments are not included and garments cannot be replaced if the printing on the INSIDE of a garment; splinters, fades or comes loose. As the size and care labels are worn directly in contact with the skin, we make use of softer printing and fabrics to ensure a comfortable fit. This results in the printing getting faded easier and is therefore considered standard wear and tear.

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

  • faults resulting from normal wear and tear;
  • damage arising from negligence, user abuse or incorrect usage of the product;
  • damage arising from a failure to adequately care for the product;
  • damage arising from unauthorised alterations to the product; and
  • where the specifications of a product, although accurately described on the Website and generally fit for its intended purpose, do not suit you.
Please note, the Burnt Team will first examine the item by means of either image or physical examination. Burnt reserves the right to not grant an exchange if deemed that the fault is not a factory fault.
If any damage occurs outside of the 30-day window, no replacement will be made since we are unable to control how the product was used or handled in that timeframe.
