Terms & Conditions of Sale
Version 5, Last updated 01/04/2017
(1) Introduction
Please read these terms of sale carefully.
You will be asked to expressly agree to these terms of sale before you place an order for products from our website.
(2) Interpretation
In these terms of sale, “we” means Urban Horse [a trading name of CW Business Group Limited] (and “us” and “our” will be construed accordingly); and “you” means our customer or potential customer for products (and “your” will be construed accordingly).
(3) Order process
The advertising of products on our website constitutes an “invitation to treat”; and your order for products constitutes a contractual offer. No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure detailed below.
In order to enter into a contract to purchase products from us, you will need to take the following steps: (i) you must add any the products you wish to purchase to your shopping cart, and then proceed to the checkout; (ii) if you are a new customer, you must then create an account with us and log in; if you are an existing customer, you must enter your login details; (iii) once you are logged in, you must select your preferred method of delivery and confirm your order and your consent to these terms of sale; (iv) you will be transferred to the Sage Pay website, and Sage Pay will handle your payment; (v) we will then send you an initial acknowledgment; and (vi) once we have checked whether we are able to meet your order, we will either send you an order confirmation (at which point your order will become a binding contract) or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order.
We will not file a copy of these terms of sale specifically in relation to your order. We may update the version of these terms of sale on the website from time to time, and we do not guarantee that the version you have agreed to will remain accessible. We therefore recommend that you download, print and retain a copy of these terms of sale for your records.
The only language in which we provide these terms of sale is English.
Before you place your order, you will have the opportunity of identifying whether you have made any input errors by carefully checking your entire order at the order confirmation stage of the checkout process. You may correct those input errors before placing your order by returning to the shopping cart (to remove products from your order) or returning to the product listings (to add products to your order). You should then restart the checkout process.
(4) The products
The characteristics of the products on our website are fully described on their respective individual product pages. We may update the product pages from time to time, without notifying you of the changes. Therefore, where appropriate (for example if placing an order), you should print a copy of product descriptions for your records.
(5) Price and payment
Prices for products are quoted on our website. The website contains a large number of products and it is always possible that some of the prices on the website may be incorrect. We will verify prices as part of our sale procedures so that a product s correct price will be stated when we accept your order and send your order confirmation.
In addition to the price of the products, you may have to pay a delivery charge, which will be as stated when you pay for the product.
Payment must be made upon the submission of your order. We may withhold the products and/or cancel the contract between us if the price is not received from you in full in cleared funds.
The prices on the website exclude all value added taxes, unless indicated otherwise.
Payment for all products must be made by credit / debit card OR any method detailed on the website from time to time.
Prices for products are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect contracts which have come into force.
If you are a business customer, then from time to time we may agree to open an account for you, enabling you to pay in arrears. Where you hold an account, then upon or following the dispatch of products, we will send to you an invoice for payment of the price of those products, and you will pay such invoice within 30 days of the date of the invoice. Accounts will be subject to such credit limits as we may notify to you from time to time. If you do not pay any amount properly due to us under or in connection with these terms of sale on time, we may: charge you interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per year above the base rate of HSBC Bank Plc from time to time (which interest will accrue daily until the date of actual payment, be compounded quarterly, and be payable on demand); or claim interest and statutory compensation from you pursuant to the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
(6) Your warranties
You warrant to us that:
(a) you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts, and you have full authority, power and capacity to agree to these terms of sale;
(b) the information provided in your order is accurate and complete; and
(c) you will be able to accept delivery of the products.
(7) Delivery policy
We will arrange for the products to be delivered to the address for delivery indicated in your order.
We will use reasonable endeavours to deliver products on or before the date for delivery set out in our order confirmation or, if no date is set out in our order confirmation, within 5 working days of the date of our order confirmation. However, we cannot guarantee delivery by the relevant date. We do however guarantee that unless there are exceptional circumstances all deliveries of products will be dispatched within 30 days of the later of receipt of payment and the date of our order confirmation.
(8) Risk and ownership
The products will be at your risk from the time of delivery. Ownership of the products will only pass to you upon the later of:
(a) delivery of the products; and
(b) receipt by us of full payment of all sums due in respect of the products (including delivery charges).
Until ownership of the products has passed to you, you will possess the products as our fiduciary agent and bailee, and if you are a business customer you must store the products separately from other goods and ensure that the products are clearly identifiable as belonging to us.
We will be entitled to recover payment for the products even where ownership has not passed to you.
(9) Returns Policy
This Section applies to business customers and consumers.
You may cancel a contract to purchase a product or products at any time within 30 days of receiving the goods (subject to the limitations set out below).

Faulty Goods - In the unlikely event your ordered goods are faulty please contact Urban Horse by email sales@urbanhorse.com to inform us. We will endeavour to rectify the situation straightaway and will arrange a replacement, repair or refund depending on the situation once the goods have been returned. We will always work with you and the manufacturer whose warranty is in place to achieve a satisfactory solution to any faults you may have for a period of 12 months after purchase.
Faults / Warranties with hoof boots - Hoof boots are covered for true manufacturing faults such as faulty stitching unravelling. Hoof boots are not covered for horse damage such as being trodden on or caught which will cause gaiters to tear or parts to snap / break. All hoof boots will give way with force / strain put on them as a safety feature so your horse does not injure themselves. Hoof boots can last anything from one ride up to two years plus. Hoof boots will wear out with usage over time and screws / bolts can work loose. You are responsible for fully checking hoof boots before every ride and checking all screws are tight. Horses are very large and powerful animals so can damage hoof boots. We do not offer refunds or exchanges on used / damaged hoof boots. Please contact us by email sales@urbanhorse.com to inform us of any faults before sending the hoof boots back to us.
Trying on new Hoof Boots – we always advise when trying on new hoof boots to only put them on dry / mud free hooves. Place a towel on the floor and a thin bag over the hoof. You must not allow your horse to walk in any boots you wish to keep as new - they must only be tried on at a standstill. Any hoof boots that do not fit can easily be returned as new for an exchange / refund within 30 days of receipt of the goods. We do not offer refunds or exchanges on used / dirty or damaged hoof boots.
