Standard Return of merchandise (RMA) and Warranty Policy

We want you to be happy with the purchase you have made from us. If you are not completely satisfied, you may return the product to us and we will either refund, credit, repair/replace it, subject to the below terms and conditions. 

You can return purchases for a refund (excl shipping). Please notify us within 7 days and ensure item is ready maximum 10 days after delivery date.

Please ensure to log your return request within 7 days of receipt of your item. Please ensure to select the correct reason for return:

- Changed my mind / Item exchange

- Faulty on arrival

- Incorrect item received

All items are covered by a 12 month warranty (unless otherwise stated) which will be honoured directly by GeeWiz. All products will either be replaced/repaired/refunded depending on stock availability. Products will require evaluation by GeeWiz before a warranty claim can be accepted.

Should the item being returned for assessment be found to be in good working order, unfortunately the collection and re-shipping fee will apply *from R99 per shipment.

Please log your return on your account, under the returns manager.

We do not reimburse your fee to ship to us, but we will pay for return shipping if the item is subject to replacement. If the item you wish to return was ordered incorrectly / is no longer required / you have changed your mind, there is a collection of fee of R99 that will be charged and this will be deducted from the refund amount once the supplier has credited us. Please note GeeWiz will only cover return shipping of a faulty unit within 6 months of purchase, after which, a shipping fee (starting at R99) will be applicable to you for return of the unit.

Any disputes relating to ordered items being short/incorrectly shipped will only be entertained if reported to GeeWiz within 3 days of delivery/collection.

Refunds are subject to inspection of item(s) - in some cases, items will need to be sent to supplier for evaluation and testing. This can take up to 15 working days. Once a refund has been approved, this may take 3 - 5 business days to be processed.

All returns are subject to up to a 30% restocking fee if item is no longer in BRAND NEW condition or if item seal/packaging has been broken.

Please re-package safely and include all original product packaging.  

All software products are unfortunately not eligible for credit or refund once purchased.

After the 6-month period, you will no longer be eligible and won't be able to receive a refund. We can however replace or repair depending on the outcome after our team of professionals has inspected the product.

Should a warranty sticker not be present on an item, the warranty is immediately null and void.

Batteries are covered under warranty, but please note that GEL, AGM and LEAD ACID have limited cycle runs. These are typically around 200 cycles and may run out before the end of the warranty. Once the cycles have been depleted, it means the battery has reached the end of life and will no longer be a warranty claim.

GeeWiz reserves the right to refuse a refund if the item is damaged from misuse, items are missing, or if the product is altered in any way. 

GeeWiz or its affiliates are not responsible for damage or loss of any kind that may occur as a result of using or misusing any product purchased from us.

The warranty will no longer be valid, and GeeWiz will not be responsible for damage or injury of any kind resulting from:

  • Electricity fluctuations and surges, lightning strikes, faults in the building wiring, faulty installations, and improper use of controls
  • Failure to use the product in accordance with the operating instructions and or general misuse and or abuse
  • Damage caused by a superior force (vis maior) or if the product has been infested with insects or pests
  • If the product is physically damaged after it left the store
  • If water or liquid caused the damage to the product
  • If the warranty seal is tampered with
  • Any repair or tampering by an unauthorised person or attempt to repair or tamper with the equipment, or use of parts not supplied by authorised agents, or alterations or modification to the equipment shall render the warranty null and void.

Inverters

Please see below important information below regarding the batteries at different frequencies

of load shedding:

What your inverter kit CAN do

The batteries inside the inverter are rated at 200-250 cycles (high cycle batteries) or 250-300 cycles

(deep cycle batteries). The Enertec and Royal batteries that we use, are some of the highest quality

lead acid batteries in the market, which we have been selling for over 7 years. Based on occasional

load shedding, at stage 1-4, the average lifespan is 2+ years.

What to do during INFREQUENT stage 1-4 load shedding

Keep your inverter plugged into the wall, and your appliances plugged into your inverter. It will

manage charging and give backup power whilst load shedding, and your batteries will last 2+ years.

The only manual intervention required (if we are lucky enough not to have load shedding for 2

months straight) is to turn off your wall socket switch that the inverter is plugged into, until the

inverter starts beeping. Then turn it back on and let it recharge fully. This will help the batteries avoid

sulfation.

What your inverter kit CAN’T do

As per our listing: “The batteries in this unit are designed for backup use only - not for daily

charging/discharging”. As you are well aware, the reality is that Eskom has recently hit us with Stage 4

and Stage 6 load shedding, with 3 bouts of load shedding a day :-( Therefore, these batteries may

reach their lifespan within a few months, unless Eskom lowers the consistency of load shedding. The

batteries will also be further degraded due to insufficient time to recharge fully in between load

shedding.

What to do during constant stage 4-6 load shedding

We highly recommend turning off the power switch on the inverter itself, when the need for power is

not crucial. This will preserve the longevity of the batteries (but please keep it plugged in to the wall

permanently to keep it charged). Please also ensure the inverter is set on 20A setting on the

back to help recharge the batteries as fast as possible.

Does this affect my warranty?

Your warranty is unchanged and covers any manufacturing or material defects on the battery within

the 12 months. However, it is very important to note that your battery capacity/runtime is

related to the amount of maximum cycles (as described above) and is not time based.

Please always keep the total load shedding count of 200-250 cycles (high cycle batteries) or 250-300

cycles (deep cycle batteries) in mind when using your inverter kit.

This product is intended to be used as a best effort service to backup brief power interruptions. If you are using it for critical applications (such as to supplement inter alia oxygen devices), then please note that it is not intended for people/patients who can only survive with medical oxygen. If you do suffer from life threatening conditions, consult your doctor before buying.

GeeWiz, its affiliates and officers accept no responsibility in the event that the product for any reason fails. The product is used solely on the user's (including their assistance) risk. This includes inter alia material defects. As is applicable to products of this nature, the product will naturally deteriorate after extended time and/or use as well as during loadshedding. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the product is charged and used according to its intended use and specifications. Please keep in mind that as it is of a consumable and electric nature, there is a possibility of malfunction at any time.


Inverters out of warranty

Please note that should an inverter be returned for assessment, and is out of warranty, an assessment fee of up to R900 incl vat may be applicable. Quotes will be sent for approval prior to repairs being done.
