General warranty

If, within 6 months of delivery of a product, you find that the product is faulty, not commercially acceptable, unsuitable for the purpose generally intended for, (or otherwise expressly indicated by BARKER SA ONLINE at time of purchase), or not legally or reasonably durable (based on the circumstances and product type) (‘defective’):

Please email query@boltonshoes.co.za (Subject line: your order number – Defective Item) to notify BARKER SA ONLINE thereof. BARKER SA ONLINE will request pictures of the defective product and will arrange to collect such product from you, so that it can be inspected by the BARKER SA ONLINE Quality Assurance team. If the product is subsequently found to indeed be defective, you are entitled to either –

    1. be fully refunded, or
    2. have the product replaced at BARKER SA ONLINE’s expense – the decision between repairing or replacing being that of BARKER SA ONLINE’s, depending on availability and other relevant circumstances. In this regard you acknowledge that Sale/On Special products will usually only qualify for repair.

If the product is found NOT to be defective and is commercially acceptable, you will NOT be entitled to any repair, replacement or refund, but will instead be liable for the costs incurred in having had such product returned to BARKER SA ONLINE, and then redelivered to you.

A product is NOT defective and you will NOT be entitled to any replacement or refund under the general warranty above, if:

    1. the faults/damages are a result of normal wear and tear;
    2. damage arises from incorrect usage of the product;
