Refunds and cancellations
Last updated 10 September 2026
Our products are made to order with your photo, which affects some of the rights that apply to off-the-shelf goods. This page sets out exactly where you stand under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 and the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002.
Cancelling before we print
You can cancel for a full refund any time before production starts on your order. We usually start within one working day of payment, so message us as soon as you can. If production has already started we cannot cancel, because the printed photo cannot be resold to anyone else.
The seven-day cooling off right
Section 44 of ECTA gives online shoppers seven days to return most goods without a reason. That right does not cover goods made to a consumer's own specifications, which is what a case printed with your photo is. Keyring charms bought on their own, without personalisation, can be returned unused and in their original packaging within seven days of delivery, and you carry the cost of returning them.
Faulty, damaged or incorrect items
If your order arrives damaged, faulty, or is not what you ordered, contact us within seven days of delivery with a photo of the item and the packaging. We will arrange collection at our cost and you choose a replacement or a full refund.
Section 56 of the Consumer Protection Act also gives you six months from delivery to return goods that turn out to be defective or unfit for their normal purpose. In that period you choose between a repair, a replacement or a refund, at no charge to you.
What is not a defect
We cannot refund or reprint for the following, because the result comes from the file or the choices made at checkout:
- a blurry or pixelated print caused by a low-resolution photo you uploaded
- the wrong phone model selected at checkout
- the crop or position of the photo, where it matches the preview you confirmed before paying
- small colour differences between a screen and a printed case
- ordinary wear, scratches, or damage caused by a drop or by the phone being forced in
If you are unsure about a photo, send it to us on WhatsApp before you order and we will tell you honestly whether it will print well.
How refunds are paid
Approved refunds go back to the method you paid with, in South African Rand, within ten working days of us receiving the returned item or agreeing to the cancellation. Delivery charges are refunded too where the fault was ours. Where a returned order included a free keyring charm, the charm must come back with it or its normal price is deducted.
Bundles
If you return part of a bundle, the remaining items are recalculated at their normal individual prices and the difference is deducted from your refund. If the whole bundle comes back, you are refunded in full.
How to start a return
Message us on WhatsApp or email us using the details on the contact page. Include your order number, what went wrong and a clear photo. We reply to every request, and we will tell you straight away whether it is covered.
