Policy on ‘Change of Mind’

However, in keeping with Deans Art policy of customer satisfaction, we may offer an exchange or credit voucher at the discretion of the store manager.

Refund Policy

 

Deans Art will issue a refund promptly if:

  • The product purchased is in any way faulty provided such faultiness has in no way been contributed to by the negligence or otherwise of the purchaser.
  • The product purchased has been wrongly described or does not genuinely fulfill  the purpose under which it has been sold.
  • SPECIAL NOTE: In respect of faulty merchandise, we encourage the customer to accept exchange or credit in the place of a refund.                      

    Deans Art will not give

    a refund if :

     

  • The customer cannot supply reasonable proof of purchase in the form of a Deans Art receipt
  • The original credit card used for the purchase can not be supplied by the customer
  • Any reasonable instructions supplied by the manufacturer have not been followed correctly
  • Any fault was caused by the actions of the customer
  • The customer simply changes their mind and decides they do not like the goods or have no use for them
  • The customer discovers they can buy the goods cheaper elsewhere
  • The customer had a defect drawn to their attention before purchasing the goods, (ie: seconds or faulty goods) but chose to purchase the goods at a discounted price.
  • The request for refund is not made within a reasonable time (ie. 30 days) from the date of purchase.
