Service Provider against any and all claims, actions damages, liability and expense in connection with
the product after delivery thereof.

3.4 Please be aware that the courier prices we have quoted do not include insurance, as the insurance cost is determined by the value of your order. This value is known only after you have successfully placed your order. Once we have this information, we will promptly provide you with an insurance quote that covers your order from our warehouse to your specified delivery address. In the event that you notice any damage to your order upon delivery, we kindly request that you reject the delivery and allow the courier to return the parcel to their warehouse. For proper documentation of the damage, we encourage you to take a clear photograph of the affected item and send it to our logistics manager within 24 hours. If the damaged item is currently in stock, we will expedite the couriering of a replacement within seven days. If the item is temporarily out of stock, we offer you the option of a store credit for an alternative product or a full refund. Unfortunately, we cannot extend insurance coverage to parcels collected by your chosen courier or when you choose to collect the item in person. We thoroughly inspect parcels before they leave our warehouse and encourage you and your courier to do the same. Furthermore, our insurance provider does not offer mirror coverage, so these products will be shipped at your own risk.
