Returns Policy, Warranty & Shipping

Here at KUDASTORE.COM, we understand how important return options are to the consumer. Our return policy is very simple. You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. We’ll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item).

Special orders and custom merchandise may not be returnable or may be subject to a restocking fee.

If you are not satisfied with the workmanship or fit of your saddle you may return it for a full refund, or exchange less shipping and handling within 10 days.

Please inspect your products upon arrival. Any damage to products also due to shipping must be immediately reported.

Any scratches, marks, or discolorations will be charged for accordingly. The saddle must be mailed prepaid, insured and traceable.

You should expect to receive your refund within four (4) weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases, you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).

If you need to return an item, please Contact Us with your order number and details about the product you would like to return. We will respond quickly with instructions for how to return items from your order.

Items not returned within 30 days are subject to a 15% restocking fee. On exchanges, an additional shipping fee will be incurred. If that is the case and the item is damaged please contact us promptly and we will arrange for you to get a new item. Items that individual seek to return should still have the appropriate tags and be in new condition, meaning that items should not have marks from horse wear or dirt, if the product being returned does not meet these conditions, we will be unable to process the return.

Certain items will not be accepted for return such as sprays, bits, books, vitamins, and supplements. Items that have been previously replaced because they were defective, damaged or incorrect are not returnable.

Products damaged due to actions by the animal, such as biting or chewing, ARE NOT covered by our warranty

Saddles Warranty

Kudastore warrants the saddles to the original purchaser of a saddle.

If the saddle you ordered has customizations that deem the saddle to be a custom order, then no return is possible, except for warranty issues.

For a full refund of purchase price, we expect the saddle to be in like-new condition. Although we understand that to properly try or test ride the saddle you have to go out and ride it, saddles with evidence of wear will not be accepted.

Each saddle comes with a 5-year tree limited warranty to be free of original defects, and one-year parts, material, and workmanship in normal use from the date of purchase. This warranty is expressly limited to the repair or replacement of the saddle tree and Kudastore shall not be responsible for any consequential damage or loss occasioned by the use of its products. This, of course, provides that the saddle has not been subjected to misuse, negligence or accident. This warranty is void if the saddle is used in a commercial or rental application.

Functional alteration of any kind, by the purchaser, dealer, or another person (s), to the product specifically voids this warranty. These warranties become null and void if you make any modifications to the saddle.
