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).

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.
