Customers can also request replacements of the products. If a customer needs to replace the faulty items with other items (e.g. if equivalent replacements are required but the original item is no longer in stock) then the customer may be requested to use the SealTV online shop to check out a new order, which will be processed with the transferred credit from the original order. SealTV will troubleshoot all goods via email to determine if goods are faulty or not. If they are, the following applies: The returns process for faulty goods is as follows:

Once the issue has been confirmed we will follow up the insurance claim with the courier and ship a replacement order to the customer as soon as possible.
