  • Online Purchases (ECT Act Cooling-Off): For non-customized stock items purchased online, a 7-day cooling-off period applies under the ECT Act, permitting a cancellation for a refund minus a 20% handling fee and return courier costs. This cooling-off period strictly excludes custom-made, altered or branded apparel.

Change of Mind / Unhappy with Purchase

We want you to be satisfied with your purchase. If you change your mind or are unhappy with a standard product, the following terms apply in accordance with your right to choose:

  • No Direct Exchanges: We do not offer direct item-for-item exchanges. You must submit a formal return request via our website.
  • Return Process: Once submitted, the item will be collected at your expense and brought to our facility for evaluation.
  • Condition of Goods: To be eligible for a return, standard goods must be logged within 5 working days of delivery, be completely unused, and remain in their original packaging with all documentation.
  • Fees: A 20% handling and administrative fee, as well as all applicable courier costs, will be deducted from your credit.
  • Resolution: Upon successful evaluation, we will issue you a Store Credit Note for the remaining balance. We do not issue cash refunds for change-of-mind returns.
  • Turnaround Time: The entire evaluation and processing cycle takes between 15 to 21 working days from the date of collection.

Sample Policy

We recognize that evaluating physical products is an important step in making an informed purchasing decision. While we do not provide complimentary or temporary samples, you are welcome to order single items through our standard ordering process for review:

  • Unbranded Samples: Single unbranded items may be ordered for evaluation. If you choose to return the unbranded sample, no cash refunds will be issued. Instead, we will issue you a Store Credit Note (minus the 20% handling fee and courier costs). This credit note is specifically intended to be applied as a discount toward your subsequent, larger production order.
  • Branded Samples: Single items ordered with custom branding or personalization are considered final sales and cannot be returned or credited under any circumstances unless a material manufacturing defect is present.

Our sample process is strictly designed for B2B procurement and commercial workwear evaluation. We do not cater to individual retail sales. If a sample is returned, the resulting credit note must be used toward a future purchase on our platform.

Defective or Damaged Goods (Statutory Warranty)

If a product supplied by MerchLab possesses a material manufacturing defect or arrives damaged, your purchase is fully protected under Section 56 of the CPA:

  • Reporting Window: While we request that visible transit damages or shortages be reported and supported by photographic evidence within 48 hours of delivery to expedite courier claims, your legal right to report a manufacturing defect extends for 6 months from the date of delivery.
  • Evaluation & Costs: We reserve the right to cross-examine and technically evaluate the product to confirm the manufacturing fault. If the product is found to be legitimately defective, MerchLab will cover all evaluation, collection, and delivery costs.
  • Resolution: Legally, the choice belongs to the consumer. If a defect is confirmed within 6 months, we will replace the item with a new order, repair it, or issue a full cash refund to the original payment method. No handling fees apply to defective goods.
  • Exclusions: The statutory warranty does not apply to items damaged by lightning, acts of nature, normal wear and tear, or improper usage contrary to the product guidelines.

Repairs & Uncollected Stock

  • Before any out-of-warranty repair work commences, a formal cost estimate will be provided for your written approval.
  • In terms of the law of storage, repaired items left uncollected for more than 90 days after written notice of completion may be sold or disposed of by the company to defray storage and related costs.

Display — Stand-Alone Skins & Branding Process

  • Availability: Skins are available for purchase as stand-alone items for most of our display range and can be ordered directly via our website.
  • Ordering & Artwork Process: Ordering display skins follows our standard branding procedure. The client must supply artwork utilizing CMYK/RGB/PANTONE colors. MerchLab will then provide a digital layout configuration for you to review and send to your end-customer for final approval before production.
  • Color Matching Limitations: All artwork must be created in CMYK, and all Pantone colors must be included as a Pantone Solid Coated Spot within the supplied print file. Failure to do so will result in no color matching taking place. Due to the limited color range of various digital CMYK print methods, not all Pantone colors can be achieved. We endeavor to match as closely as possible, but tonal and color variations will occur across different materials (e.g., PVC versus Fabric). Fluorescent and metallic Pantones cannot be matched; only a tonal representation can be achieved.

Refitting & Hardware Compatibility Disclaimer

  • No Refitting Service: MerchLab supplies stand-alone display skins as supply-only products. MerchLab does not offer a service for refitting skins onto existing hardware. This includes hardware previously purchased from MerchLab, as well as third-party brands (such as Barron).
  • Client Responsibility: It is the client's sole responsibility to fit the new display skins themselves.
  • Hardware Compatibility: MerchLab display skins are tailored to fit standard MerchLab hardware. We cannot be held liable if a purchased skin does not fit properly due to damaged existing hardware, or if it is fitted onto third-party hardware.
  • Ordering Accuracy: It is the client's responsibility to ensure they are ordering the exact matching replacement skin for their specific display unit model. All skin sales are final and subject to our branded order policies.

Care, Longevity & Warranties

Environmental Care: Overexposure to harsh sunlight will reduce the longevity of your print. We strongly encourage clients to care for display fabrics by removing them from direct sunlight and storing them safely when not actively in use.

  • Display Skin Warranty: Display fabrics/skins purchased from MerchLab come with a 3-month limited print fade warranty.
  • Display Hardware Warranty: All Banner Walls and Gazebos are backed by a 12-month manufacturer's mechanical guarantee. All Telescopic, Harp, and Windcheater banners carry a 3-month mechanical warranty.
  • Exclusions: These warranties strictly exclude any display hardware or skins that have been mishandled, abused, subjected to extreme weather/winds, or not used for their intended commercial purpose.

Display Repair Policy

  • In-Warranty Repairs: Display hardware that falls within its respective warranty period and requires repair must be returned to MerchLab Johannesburg at the client's own expense. All broken, sheared, or damaged structural parts must be included in the return package.
  • Out-of-Warranty / Damaged Repairs: Requests for repairs on hardware that is out of warranty, or has been damaged through misuse, will be handled strictly on a case-by-case basis. MerchLab reserves the right to evaluate the hardware and issue a repair quotation or reject the repair request if the structural integrity cannot be guaranteed.

Workwear Policy

  1. Manufacture of workwear products will only commence when the order is received. Once a sales order is generated your order may not be cancelled or changed.
  2. Conti suit sets are sold according to industry-standard, which states that the pants in the set are 2 sizes smaller than the jacket. Conti suit sets will therefore be sold based on the jacket size, for example, if you place an order for a size 34, the jacket will be a size 34 and the pants size will be a size 30.
  3. Kindly ensure that sizing has been established correctly before placing an order with us as sets will always be sold as per the above.
  4. We will not accept any returns on unbranded or branded workwear items that have had tape specially applied as these are not ex-stock items. We will only accept returns on workwear items that are held in stock and readily available.
