If the correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.

14 DAY FREE TRIAL

9.1. Availability of free trial

The trial service is only available to customers within the UK. Selected saddle products may be ordered on a 14 day “free trial” basis, these may be new or used saddles depending upon the product ordered. Saddles that are ordered on the free trial basis may, unlike the ‘cooling off’ purchase period that apply in respect of all products (except Custom products) and which we allow all of our online customers, be placed on a horse and used by the customer for fourteen days after receipt.

How the Free Trial Works

The trial starts when the saddle has been received by the customer and the 14 days includes weekends and bank holidays. Where possible a business address will need to be given as the “ship to” address, as the delivery will require a signature. Deliveries will take place between the hours of 8am and 6pm. Please see our 14 DAY FREE TRIAL page for more informtion. A £350 pre suthorisation of a credit/Debit card will be taken for security purposes prior to the saddle being dispatched.

If you are not happy with your saddle before the 14-day trial period is up please contact our customer service team on 01922 263600 and they will arrange for early collection of the goods. You may arrange for collection of the saddle at any time during or immediately at the end of 14 days as set out in clause 9.3 below.

Inspection

Upon receiving your saddle back to us, it will be inspected for any damages caused by mis- use. Normal wear and tear will be expected. We understand tags will need to be removed to trial the saddle but please keep these and return them in the box with the saddle. If the saddle is not returned to us in a clean state, we reserve the right to charge a £10 cleaning charge against the card details held. Please treat all saddles with care and respect. It is your responsibility to ensure the saddle is looked after and stored in a safe, clean and dry place during the trial period. Throughout the trial period we shall not be liable for any loss, theft or damage to the saddle.

9.2. IMPORTANT: Pre-Authorisation of Credit/ Debit Card for 14 Day Trial

If you select “14 Day Trial” on the website, you will be required to enter your credit card/ debit card details. Please note that you will NOT be charged for the saddle at this time, but we will pre-authorise the card to the value of the saddle as a security measure and to ensure that there are sufficient funds available in the event you wish to purchase the saddle. A delivery and collection fee (calculated in accordance with clause 5.2) will be deducted upon placing the order. This is refunded in the event you purchase the saddle.

9.3. Returning the “14 Day Trial” Saddles

If you do not wish to keep the saddle at any time during the trial or by the end of the 14 day trial period, you must contact us to arrange for it to be collected by us. You are required to contact us as soon as possible and no later than the 16^th day following receipt of the saddle to arrange for its collection. Should we not hear from you to arrange collection by the 17^th day following your receipt of the saddle, the trial will automatically end and the sale will be complete. At this point you will be liable for the full costs of the saddle and we will charge the cost of the saddle to your credit/debit card.

Requests for collection of trial saddles can be made by your “My Account” section on the website, by calling us on 01922 263600 or by writing to us at contact@cavaletticollection.co.uk. All returned trial saddles will be collected, if approved by us, between the hours of 8am and 6pm. If the saddle is not available for collection at the agreed time, we reserve the right to charge the cost of a second collection from your credit card.

Should we not hear from you during your trial period, we may contact you to check that all is proceeding well with the trial.

All Saddles will be despatched on the same day if the order is received before 12pm, if an order is received after 12pm it will not be despatched until the following day. If an order is placed after 12pm on a Friday it will not leave until the following Monday.

9.4. Goods returned must be in a suitable condition

Any products returned must be returned in their original box and packaging. This is important as we use specialist cardboard boxes to limit any damage to the saddle whilst in transit. We understand that tags will need to be removed by you whilst trialling the saddle, but please keep these and return them to us in the original box.

We will inspect all returned saddles for any damage caused to it by you – normal wear and tear excepted. If you have trialled a used saddle and you wish to purchase a new saddle of the same specification, you can do so with no additional delivery charges applicable to the new saddle. If you wish to purchase a more expensive saddle following the trial, we will charge you the price of the new saddle, rather than the trial saddle.

CUSTOM PRODUCTS

Options to customise products are available on ‘Buy It Now’ saddles. These products may not be returned once they have been delivered (the Cooling Off period does not apply) and are not available to be tested as a part of our 14 day trial. However, should you wish to keep the saddle after your 14-day trial period we can add the customised options onto the saddle. In order to do this, the saddle must be returned to us. You will be liable for the return postage costs. Other charges will apply for the customisation, please call us on 01922 263600 for further details. Please note that any custom options are not designed to be swapped and changed and once fitted to the saddle any alteration will affect your warranty rights.

FITTING THE SADDLE

We do not provide saddle fitting services and accept no responsibility for the fitting of our saddles. We advise that you arrange for a local saddle fitter to fit the saddle, or ensure that you follow the relevant processes to ensure the saddle fits correctly. We will not be responsible for any injury caused to a horse or a rider or the product as a result of miss-fitting of the saddle in any way. Please be aware that horses can change shape and this will affect how the saddle fits. This can often be remedied by a flock adjustment or a gullet bar change, however in some cases the saddle may no longer be suitable over time.
