Returns Policy

We endeavour to try & describe all items accurately & to the best of our knowledge.

Where appropriate, measurements & sizing details are provided to allow you to make an informed choice. Please consult these where provided to help you make an informed product choice.

If you receive your items & are not happy with them please contact us PRIOR to use.

Upon receiving your item please check it carefully for any unforseen manufacturing faults or defects that may alter the life expectancy or use of your item.

  • This must be done Prior to use.
  • We will happily replace any unused item with a demonstrable manufacturing defect at our expense.
  • Please be aware that if a fault or defect is found we will ask for evidence or proof in the form of a photo etc.

As we all know horses are large unpredictable creatures as a result there is no refund/return or exchange available on any item that has been used.

  • This is a result of us not being in control of how you choose to fit your item or how your horse chooses to behave.
  • Likewise we have no control over how your horse may roll, itch, snare, rub, scratch and otherwise try to remove an item.
  • We all know a horse can easily damage an item in the first few days as they can 12 months later.
  • We will not honour replacements for any item that has been destroyed after use.

Likewise if you are unsure of the fitting of a horse rug or how to use a particular item - please contact us for clarification prior to using the product. We are only too happy to try & assist.

In accordance with Australian consumer law we are not required to provide a refund or replacement if you change your mind.

But you can choose a refund or exchange if an item is deemed to have a major problem. This is when the item:

  • Has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying the item if they had known about it.
  • is unsafe
  • is significantly different from the sample or description
  • doesn't do what we said it would, or what you asked for and it can’t be easily fixed

If the problem is not major, we will repair the item within a reasonable time.

  • For further details please visit consumer.vic.gov.au

We do try our best to describe items as accurately and as detailed as possible however individuals can sometimes interpret these differently to us. If you have any questions regarding an item please ask them prior to making a purchase we are only too happy to help make sure that a particular item is exactly what you are looking for.

In regards to the colour of a particular item please be aware that different computer screen resolutions or viewing from smart phones can make the colour of an item appear differently to what they actually are.

As a result we always include the colour of an item not only in its title but also in the item description.  

 

Occasionally we do sell items that are known to have faults/defects.

These will be clearly stated in the title of the item & described in the items description.
There will be no refunds/exchanges available on items that have been advertised to be faulty or have known defects

 

Ecotak horsewear accepts no liability for loss, damage, injury or death or consequential loss to any person or animal resulting from the use or misuse, or incorrect fitting or failure of any of our products.
