By purchasing from Mzansi Weight Loss, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined below.

1. Important Notice on Health & Medical Products

Due to the nature of weight loss, wellness, peptide, injectable, and temperature-sensitive products, strict hygiene, safety, and storage standards apply.

For the safety of all customers, certain products cannot be returned or refunded once dispatched, except where required by law.

2. Products Not Eligible for Return or Refund

The following items are strictly non-returnable and non-refundable, unless proven defective at delivery:

• Opened, used, or tampered products

• Reconstituted products (products that have been mixed, diluted, or prepared for use)

• Injectable products once packaging has been opened

• Products damaged due to improper storage or handling after delivery

• Sale, clearance, or promotional items

• Digital products or services

These exclusions are permitted under Section 20(2)(c) of the CPA due to health, hygiene, and safety considerations.

3. Eligible Returns (CPA-Compliant)

A return or refund may be considered if:

• The product is defective or damaged upon delivery

• The incorrect product was supplied

• The product is unopened, unused, sealed, and in original packaging
