Online shops, retailers, makers selling on Instagram or Takealot

Refund & Returns Policy (CPA)

A Consumer Protection Act-aligned returns policy for online and physical stores.

Quick answer

A refund & returns policy (cpa) is a written agreement used by online shops, retailers, makers selling on instagram or takealot in South Africa. This template covers cpa rights preserved, change-of-mind returns, 7-day cooling-off for online sales, defective goods (s56) and more, drafted with POPIA, the CPA and the ECT Act in mind.

The problem it solves: Refund arguments — and policies that accidentally break the CPA.

Good to know

Can I have a no-refunds policy?+

Not for defective goods — the CPA gives consumers a 6-month right to return them.

Does it cover Takealot sales?+

Your own store terms; marketplaces have their own policies too.

Is this legal advice?+

No. It's a professionally structured starting point. For high-value or unusual deals, have an attorney review your completed document.
