Pricing
All products offered for sale by First Thought Equine are priced in Pounds Sterling and include UK VAT at the prevailing rate where applicable. Any customs or import duties due when your package reaches its destination country will be your responsibility. Occasionally, despite our best endeavours products appear mispriced, however we verify prices as part of our order confirmation email. We will either contact you to advise you and request instructions before despatch or cancel the order and notify you accordingly.

Special Order Items
All items ordered such as those with personalisation are non-returnable. Cancellation must be made within a week of placing the order and this MUST be done by telephone on 01227 831614.

Timescale
Whilst we endeavour to despatch goods within 2 days of date of order, time is NOT of the essence as a condition of the order. Please note that we generally shutdown for 4 one week holidays during the course of the year.

Payment
CREDIT or DEBIT CARD - The fastest way to pay for immediate despatch (stock dependant).
We accept online payments through a secure environment by credit or debit card and transactions are shown in Pounds Sterling. Do not email your card details. No responsibility can be taken for security if you provide your details in this way. Card fraud is illegal and will always lead to prosecution.
First Thought Equine Ltd take all reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from First Thought Equine Ltd.

Delivery
Damaged or Undelivered Goods

Please check the condition of your parcel on delivery prior to signing for acceptance. In the event that goods are missing or damaged on arrival please specify against your signature and inform us immediately, within 3 working days, otherwise no claim can be considered.

Customs
Goods ordered from First Thought Equine Ltd for delivery outside the UK may be subject to import duties and taxes; these will be levied once the parcel reaches its destination country. Any charges for customs must be paid by you, we have no control over these and do not know what they may be as customs policies vary from country to country. Contact your local customs officer for full details and regulations.

Returns
A full refund (less postage and packing) will be provided on any item returned to us in the original packaging, unsoiled, within 14 days, for any reason. Alternatively the goods may be exchanged. Refunds or exchanges cannot be made before we receive the returned goods. Returns made after 14 days or soiled goods will not be eligible for refund or exchange. Please pack carefully to avoid damage and don't forget to enclose the return form that was sent with your order. Please enclose the appropriate return postage and packing fee with goods returned for exchange.
Products that have evidence of use i.e. grease and hair on them can not be refunded due to the danger of transfer of possible infections.
You must make your own arrangements to return goods to us and you will be responsible for the cost of return unless goods are faulty. We recommend that you obtain a certificate of postage with adequate insurance from the Post Office if making a return, to enable you to make a claim for any loss or damage, as we are unable to compensate for return parcels that are lost or damaged in transit.
