Defamation Claims

Because Throstlenest Saddlery lists thousands of products for sale on the website and hosts many thousands of comments, it is not possible for us to be aware of the contents of each product listed for sale, or each comment or review that is displayed.

Once contacted, Throstlenest Saddlery will make all reasonable endeavours to remove the defamatory content complained about within a reasonable time.

Conditions Relating To The Sale Of Products To You

Title of Goods
Title to the goods does not pass to the purchaser until the goods have been paid for in full.

Claims and Shortages
Notification of damage or shortages must be made to Throstlenest Saddlery as soon as possible and certainly within 7 days of receipt of goods. Notification of non-delivery must be made within 14 days of invoice date.

Product Descriptions
We are careful to ensure that descriptions and photographs represent correctly the products available. As it is our policy to continually improve products, methods and materials, we reserve the right to change specifications from time to time. We will not make any significant variations without your agreement. Goods sold at discount prices as remnants or as substandard stock will be identified and will be stated to be sold as such.

Your Right to Cancel
We offer a ‘no quibble’ refund policy for any goods (other than those listed in our returns policy) for any goods returned within 14 days of receipt so long as they are in "Perfect Condition" and fit for "Re-Sale" at their full selling price. This will not affect your statutory rights.

Summary of Rights and Remedies According to The Sale of Goods Act 1979

Buyers are entitled to goods of satisfactory quality, taking account of any description, the price and other relevant circumstances. If an item has a fault that is present at the time of sale (sometimes referred to as an "inherent" fault), the consumer can complain once it is discovered.

Remedies
If a product that was faulty at the time of sale is returned to the retailer, the buyer is legally entitled to:

A full refund, if this is within a reasonable time of the sale ("reasonable time" is not defined in law but as a reasonable guide is considered to be within 4 weeks of receipt of goods – This guideline was advised by ‘Trading Standards’)
A reasonable amount of compensation

Additional rights for consumers
Alternatively, consumers can choose to request instead:

A repair or replacement. The retailer can decline either of these if he can show that they are disproportionately costly in comparison with the alternative. If neither repair nor replacement is realistically possible, consumers can request instead:
A partial or full refund, depending on what is reasonable in the circumstances.

It may be the case that a full refund is not the reasonable option because the consumer will have enjoyed some benefit from the goods before the problem appeared. This needs to be taken into account before a reasonable partial refund can be assessed – In the case of hockey sticks where their expected life is one season (9 months), any refund offered would take into account the age of the stick based on their expected life. In the case of cricket bats where their expected life is two seasons (18 months), any refund offered would take into account the age of the bat based on their expected life.

Our Contract

When you place an order to purchase a product from Throstlenest Saddlery, we will send you an email confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of your order. Your order represents an offer to us to purchase a product which is accepted by us when we send email confirmation to you that we've dispatched that product to you (the "Dispatch Confirmation Email. That acceptance will be complete at the time we send the Dispatch Confirmation Email to you. Any products on the same order which we have not confirmed in a Dispatch Confirmation Email to have been dispatched do not form part of that contract.

Pricing and Availability

We list availability information for products sold by us on the website, including on each product information page. Beyond what we say on that page or otherwise on the website, we cannot be more specific about availability. Please note that dispatch estimates are just that. They are not guaranteed dispatch times and should not be relied upon as such. As we process your order, we will inform you by email if any products you order turn out to be unavailable.

Despite our efforts, a small number of the thousands of products in our catalogue may be mispriced. Rest assured, however, that we verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures. If a product's correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower amount and send you the product. If a product's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatch or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
