RETURNS A -Solutions creams gels etc,, (perishable) and disposable's cannot be returned as these become unsaleable due to health and safety Reasons.
SOLUTIONS STORAGE- Solutions carry a 6-12 month un-opened useage, We best before solutions from ourselves Brown Bitz ltd for 6 months to ensure maximum quality and freshness when spraying, this is a guide and is a best before only. The wrong storage conditions can mean a shorter lifespan than this. As the nature of ingredients such as DHA in tanning solution are temperature, and oxidisation sensitive to keep your solutions longevity as long as possible we recommend storing in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight (as close to fridge temp as possible but not frozen) Once opening the solutions it is essential to replace the lid securely as so this is airtight straight away this prevents oxidisation of the solutions. As you will notice the reminents on the threads on the bottle from pouring will change colour and go green. due to the oxidisation, This does not mean the entire bottle contents are green and unuseable, This is just the outer spillage around the rim which is oxidised when the lid has been removed. When solutions ingredients have perished the liquid will have a green tint and will not take on clients, This will cause the guide colour to simply wash off with no lasting tan as the DHA will become inactive.Solutions which are exposed to direct sunlight, heat or air exposure without the lid on, can go off in a matter of days. So we cannot stress the importance of correct storage especially in the warmer months.
WARRANTY AND FURTHER ADVICE - All machines/ electricals carry a 3 month warranty with ourselves, and also a manufacturers 12 month warranty from date of sale. This is a return to base warranty.
With any manufacturers defective units which is a rare scenario we will either repair or replace and despatch goods within 48 hours of receipt to ourselves Within 3 months from purchase or within 3-12 months we will Process a warranty claim with the manufacturers on all units containing any form of manufacturing defect this will have a 48 working hour response turn around.
It is so essential customers have correct training and understand the nature of your spray machines in a working environment, goods should be looked after and maintained properly the following will not be covered under warranty, damage, cracks, breaks, or spray guns that have been neglected i.e not been cleaned or maintained correctly. It is rare that problems do arise and require a manufacturer warranty due to their quality controls, If issues do arise with components such as the moving parts such as Spray guns and hoses 90% of the time this is down to incorrect care, maintenance, droppages causing breakages. or consumables that need replacing within the spray gun.
please note :-
Hoses- A hose is simply a part that lets air through, the only times a hose can become faulty is through firstly to much tension on the hose when spraying therefore popping the plastic end connector off the hose. Issues like this should not occur as tension should not occur on the hose in the first place. Rectify this simply by moving the machine closer to your working environment. The other way a hose can become faulty is if the hose is dropped/stood on causing a break/split in the end connector or pipe. If a hose has any manufacturing defect with the mouldings, splits etc.. this would be apparent within the first couple of uses of the unit, not after weeks/months of useage.
Spray tan guns contain moveable parts, and consumable parts, such as seals and rubber o rings, these are replaceable from time to time as they degrade especially with higher useage. It is therefore fair to expect with hoses and spray guns as being moveable parts replacements will be required from time to time,as with anything of this nature of any sprayers be it in the industry of Tanning, Painting, Fencing, Etc... natural wear and tear damage arises. With spray Guns with the correct maintenance these will last a long time. 90%+ of any reported issues on Spray guns are down to not cleaning the guns correctly or physical damage on droppages, We must stress the importance of understanding the components and breakdown of your spray guns and general care with your product this is basic knowledge required that will enable yourself if issues arise to pin point and rectify accordingly. It is also essential your staff using the equipment also take care and understand the basic maintenance. If you dont know the maintainence routine for internally cleaning the spray gun (not just spraying warm water through please contact us and we can forward any tutorial information we have for your specific machine if stocked by us.). If spray tan solution is left in the spray guns this dries in the solution internal chamber and nozzle and crystalises and blocks completely or partially the nozzle this creates sporadic spraying, stop start, freckly effect or spray without the trigger being pressed, this can be resolved by cleaning the nozzle out and then also running warm water through the spray gun for 2 mins, The maintenance lies with yourself as the user and not with ourselves, If you are unsure of the correct maintenance route to take please dont hesitate to ask we will be glad to help and advise.
Due to the nature in the working environment of droppages, etc... We always recommend to carry a spare back up spray gun, and hose with any machine to be kept with your units as accidents do happen. (what would you do mid tan if you dropped and broke your spray gun ? ) remember it is your Professional practice,, a tradesman doesnt just carry one screwdriver.
