3. Products

We strive to display our products as accurately as possible.

However:

  • Colours may vary slightly depending on your screen or device settings.
  • Wig density, length, texture, and colour may vary slightly due to manufacturing processes.

We reserve the right to:

  • Change prices at any time without prior notice.
  • Correct pricing errors.

If payment has already been made for an incorrectly priced item, we will contact you to arrange either:

  • a full refund, or
  • payment of the correct price before processing the order.

5. Orders

Once you place an order, you will receive an order confirmation email.

Receiving an order confirmation does not mean your order has been accepted.

We reserve the right to:

  • refuse or cancel any order;
  • limit quantities purchased;
  • refuse orders suspected of fraud or unauthorized transactions.

If your order is cancelled after payment has been received, you will receive a full refund.
