Warranty

The Henry James Saddlery One-Year Limited Warranty is a voluntary manufacturer’s warranty. It provides rights separate to rights provided by consumer law, including but not limited to those relating to non-conforming goods. As such, the One-Year Limited Warranty benefits are in addition to, and not instead of, rights provided by consumer law and it does not exclude, limit or suspend a buyer’s rights arising from consumer law. Consumers have the right to choose whether to claim service under the One-Year Limited Warranty or under their consumer law rights.  

We warrant to the original purchaser that the goods purchased from us will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery.

If an item develops a fault within 30 days of purchase the item can be returned to us for either a repair, replacement or full refund. 

AFTER 30 DAYS AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS

If an item develops a fault after 30 days of purchase the item can be returned to us initially for a repair or replacement, if a repair or replacement has been issued that is deemed not satisfactory the customer can request a full refund. 

AFTER 6 MONTHS AND WITHIN 12 MONTHS

If an item develops a fault after 6 months of purchase the item can be returned to us for a repair or replacement, if a repair or replacement has been issued that is deemed not satisfactory the customer can request a credit note to the value of the item paid.

AFTER 12 MONTHS

If an item develops a fault after 12 months of purchase the item will not be covered by our voluntary manufacturer’s guarantee. However a repair may still be possible, once returned for an inspection you will be notified of the costs prior to any work being done on your item.
