1.3 Returns of defective/faculty products process
Defective products can be returned in store within a period of 6 months from date of purchase. Alternatively, you can contact us team who will facilitate a return or exchange as circumstances allow at the time. A “Defective Product” is one which contains a material imperfection in the manufacture or design that renders the product less acceptable, useful or safe than reasonably expected, under the circumstances. A product is in a defective condition if it is dangerous to the user or to the consumer, when used in the prescribed way and/or for the purpose for which it was manufactured or designed to be used. The product must be defective in itself (due to manufacture or design fault) and not damaged due to inappropriate use. When returning a product after the 30 day standard returns period, a customer must provide full reasons for alleging that the product is defective, including stating how the product was utilised during the period that it was in the customer’s possession. Please note the life expectancy of any adidas Product depends on the individual using the Product, the conditions of use, and the characteristic wear patterns of the user. Our Products damaged by normal wear and tear or that have exceeded the reasonable lifespan of the Product are not replaced.
