What is a defect?
A defect is a material imperfection in the manufacture of a product or any characteristic of a product, which makes the product less acceptable than one would reasonably be entitled to expect in the circumstances.
The following will NOT be regarded as defects and will not entitle you to a return under this section
- Faults resulting from normal wear and tear;
- Damage arising from negligence, user abuse or incorrect usage of the product;
- Damage arising from a failure to adequately care for the product;
- Damage arising from unauthorised alterations to the product; and
- Where the specifications of a product, although accurately described on the Website and generally fit for its intended purpose, do not suit you.
Adverse Reactions
Some products (such as many anti-ageing creams) sold in-store contain active ingredients. Many of these products can cause a transient, mild irritation of the skin upon initial use thereof.
We recommend using these products only after a Face Mapping/Skin Scan/consultation and not to use these items more than three times a week initially and then gradually increasing to daily use.
Refunds on creams or treatments causing an adverse reaction will be judged on an individual basis. If the guest has developed a more severe reaction to any of these products supplied by Sorbet, please contact the Guest Relations Team to advise further and they can be contacted on the Customer Care Line at 011 202 7940.
