Return & Refund Policy

Effective Date: May 2026  |  Last Updated: May 2026

This Return and Refund Policy ("Policy") applies to all purchases made from LLVERA™ ("we", "us", "our"). This Policy is governed by and compliant with the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 ("CPA") and the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 ("ECTA") of the Republic of South Africa. By placing an order with LLVERA™, you agree to the terms outlined in this Policy.

01

Cooling-Off Period (Online Purchases)

In accordance with Section 44 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA), all customers who purchase products online are entitled to a cooling-off period. LLVERA™ extends this to fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of delivery. During this period, you may cancel your order and return the product for a full refund, for any reason and without penalty, subject to the following conditions:

The product must be unused, undamaged, and in its original packaging.
The customer is responsible for the direct cost of returning the product to LLVERA™.
A refund will be processed within thirty (30) days of receiving the returned product.
Cancellation must be communicated in writing via email to our customer support.
02

Defective or Damaged Goods

In terms of Sections 55 and 56 of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), all goods sold by LLVERA™ carry an implied warranty of quality. This means every product must be reasonably suitable for its intended purpose, of good quality, in good working order, free of defects, and durable for a reasonable period of time.

If you receive a product that is defective, damaged upon arrival, or not of the quality reasonably expected, you are entitled to return the product within six (6) months of delivery and elect one of the following remedies:

A full refund of the purchase price.
A replacement of the product.
A repair of the product.

Important: The choice of remedy (refund, replacement, or repair) lies with the consumer, not the supplier. LLVERA™ may not compel you to accept a credit note or voucher in place of a cash refund if you prefer a refund. Returns of defective goods will be at LLVERA™'s risk and expense.

03

Non-Returnable Items

In accordance with the CPA, goods may not be returned under the following circumstances:

The product has been used, altered, disassembled, or combined with other products after delivery.
The product was damaged due to misuse, negligence, or failure to follow usage instructions provided by LLVERA™.
The consumer was made aware of specific defects prior to purchase and agreed to receive the product in that condition.
Public health or public regulation prohibits the return of those goods once supplied to a consumer.
04

Change of Mind

Please note that there is no general right of return under South African consumer law for a change of mind. If you simply no longer want the product and the 14-day return period has lapsed, LLVERA™ is not obligated to accept a return or issue a refund.

However, we may, at our sole discretion, offer a store credit or exchange on a case-by-case basis, provided the product is returned unused and in its original packaging within fourteen (14) days of delivery.

05

How to Initiate a Return

To initiate a return, please follow the steps below:

1Contact our customer support team via email with your order number, proof of purchase, and reason for return.
2Include photographs of the product if the return is due to damage or defect.
3Await confirmation and return instructions from LLVERA™ before shipping the product back.
4Ship the product in its original packaging using a trackable delivery method.

Note: Returns sent without prior authorisation from LLVERA™ may not be accepted or processed.

06

Refund Processing

Once a returned product has been received and inspected by LLVERA™, we will notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If approved:

Refunds will be processed to the original method of payment within thirty (30) days.
Shipping costs paid by the customer (if any) are non-refundable unless the return is due to a defect, damage, or error on the part of LLVERA™.
LLVERA™ will not deduct any restocking fees from your refund.
07

Shipping Costs for Returns

Defective or damaged goods: Return shipping is at LLVERA™'s expense.
Cooling-off period returns: The customer bears the direct cost of return shipping.
Discretionary returns (change of mind): The customer bears the direct cost of return shipping.
08

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by South African law, LLVERA™ shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use or inability to use the product, including but not limited to loss of hair, scalp irritation, or allergic reactions caused by oils, serums, or solutions used in conjunction with our products. Where a product is used together with hair oils, conditioners, or treatment solutions, customers should review the ingredients of those products and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

09

Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute arising from a return or refund, LLVERA™ encourages customers to first attempt to resolve the matter directly with our customer support team. If the matter cannot be resolved, consumers may:

Lodge a complaint with the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud (CGSO).
