Return and Refund Policy
At Cape Agric Solutions (Pty) Ltd, customer satisfaction and product quality are at the core of our business. We strive to ensure that all agricultural machinery, multi-tier poultry housing systems, and event supplies meet strict quality and performance standards.
This Return and Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions under which returns, exchanges, and refunds are processed for purchases made via our website www.capeagricsolutionsptyltd.com or directly through our sales team.
1. General Return Requirements
Because our catalog consists of industrial-grade machinery, structural poultry housing, livestock, and commercial event equipment, returns are handled on a case-by-case basis. To qualify for a return or exchange:
-
Return Window: You must initiate a return request within 7 calendar days from the date of delivery or collection.
-
Condition of Goods: Items must be unused, uninstalled, in their original condition, and accompanied by all original packaging, hardware, accessories, and manuals.
-
Proof of Purchase: A valid tax invoice or proof of payment issued by Cape Agric Solutions (Pty) Ltd is required for all returns.
2. Non-Returnable & Excluded Items
Certain product categories are strictly non-returnable due to health, safety, biosecurity, or custom manufacturing constraints:
-
Live Animals & Poultry: Due to strict veterinary health protocols and biosecurity regulations, live birds (chicks, layer hens, point-of-lay stock) and hatching eggs cannot be returned or refunded once they have left our custody or delivery vehicles.
-
Custom or Special-Order Systems: Custom-built cage configurations, modified agricultural machinery, or specialized equipment sourced specifically for a client order are non-refundable.
-
Used or Installed Products: Any equipment, cage system, or machinery that has been assembled, installed, connected to power/water supplies, or put into operational use cannot be returned unless verified as defective under warranty.
3. Defective, Damaged, or Incorrect Goods
We take great care in preparing and loading orders, but if an issue arises during transit or manufacturing:
-
Inspection Upon Receipt: Customers are required to inspect all equipment, components, and event items immediately upon receipt before signing the delivery note.
-
Reporting Period: Damaged, missing, or incorrect items must be reported to us in writing within 48 hours of delivery or collection, supported by clear photographs or video evidence.
