Services — Re-performance & Refunds

If re-performance does not resolve the issue, a pro-rata refund or alternative remedy may be provided.


Dispute Resolution

Customers dissatisfied with a decision may escalate the matter internally to the Company’s complaints officer.

If unresolved, complaints may be filed with the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) or relevant sector regulators such as EPRA.


Limitation of Liability

Nothing in this policy limits statutory consumer rights. Except where required by law, liability is limited to repair, replacement, or refund of goods or services supplied.
