1. All goods remain the property of Raceleathers until
successful credit card authorisation, cheque clearance or receipt of UK Post
Office Postal Orders. However, goods shall remain the responsibility of
Raceleathers until delivered to the customers address whereupon the customer
takes full responsibility for any subsequent accidental damage to the goods,
however caused. Ensure packaging is intact before signing for a delivery, if the
packaging is noticeably damaged write 'packaging damaged' on carriers delivery
documentation before accepting the delivery.
2. Cheques require a '7 working day' clearance period, no
goods will be dispatched until such clearance period has elapsed. This period
shall commence the day the cheque is banked. Raceleathers will endeavour to
dispatch the order on the 8th working day after this date or on the next
available consignment. (Please note this only applies to cheques, goods paid for
by Credit and Debit card or International Money order are dispatched same or
next working day.)
3. Cheques must be drawn in Sterling and be from a bank
that operates public customer banking in the UK.
4. We accept International Money orders that are made out
in UK pounds Sterling, please contact you bank for further details.
5. Raceleathers are not necessarily obliged to contact
customers to inform them of any refused credit card authorisation or failed
cheque clearance. However, in most cases at least one attempt will be made.
Returns policy
6. Raceleathers must be notified of goods damaged in
transit immediately after receipt and authorisation obtained prior to return. No
replacement or refund can be given without such authorisation being issued. If
the packaging is noticeably damaged at time of delivery write 'packaging
damaged' on carriers delivery documentation before accepting the delivery.
7. Goods ordered from Raceleathers may be returned for
exchange for another size, colour or a refund as appropriate so long as the
garment is returned within 7 days of receipt (helmets excluded, see 16). As per
the DSR rules, any returns within 7 days from within the UK will be refunded the
full amount paid. Returns made after this period will be subject to our approval
and may incur a 15% restocking charge.
8. Goods must be returned via a suitably insured carrier
that provides tracking and signed for delivery (UPS, DHL, Royal Mail etc.
provide such services), this is for your protection. It is your responsibility
to pay for all shipping costs involved in returning goods that are not suitable,
we cannot be held responsible for items lost or damaged in transit.
9. For goods returned from outside the EEC the following
must be written legibly on both the packaging and customs declaration.
'MAIL ORDER GOODS RETURNED FOR EXCHANGE - DO NOT CHARGE
DUTY'
It is essential that you enclose a note with the goods
stating the reasons for return. Otherwise we will be liable for duty charges as
an effective importer. Any import duty charged to us on returned goods will be
deducted from any refund or charged for if these steps are not taken.
10. For returns from non UK destinations you will be liable
for any handling or brokerage surcharges charge levied by the carrier, should
they arise. This will be charged to the credit/debit card used for the original
transaction or deducted from the refund as appropriate.
11. The cost of shipping replacement goods back to you will
be charged at cost.
12. Prior to returning goods to Raceleathers, for any
reason, you must contact us to obtain returns authorisation, without suitable
authorisation returns may be refused. UK customers please e-mail. Non UK
customers please e-mail.
13. Any undamaged goods returned as 'delivery refused by
recipient' may, at Raceleathers discretion, require another delivery fee or be
subject to a 15 percent re-stocking charge.
14. All goods must be returned in 'as new' original,
saleable condition along with affixed labels the box or branded packaging.
Please securely wrap the parcel to avoid any damage or the possibility of it
splitting open whilst in transit.
15. Raceleathers will provide, on request, a breakdown of
any charges levied.
Please note: We are unable to provide any breakdown of
these charges prior to receiving the returned goods.
16. In the light or our experience helmets pose a major
problem when obtained blind via mail order. The variables involved and the
variations between manufacturers make sizing remotely a hit and miss affair. As
a consequence of our experience with these problems we can now only supply
helmets on a non-returnable basis. Realistically this means that you should have
at the very least tried on and established your correct size of the model of
helmet in question. We accept that if you are unable to, that you will, most
likely, purchase your helmet elsewhere.
17. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable for any reason by any Court of competent jurisdiction
such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the provisions hereof shall
continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been agreed with the
invalid illegal or unenforceable provision eliminated.
Delivery
18. Raceleathers shall endeavour to dispatch goods on the
same day that they are paid for. Likewise, Raceleathers shall endeavour to
dispatch goods paid for by monies other than cheques (see 2) on the day they are
banked. If goods cannot be dispatched 'same day', due to circumstances beyond
Raceleathers control, they will be dispatched on the next available consignment.
19. Raceleathers cannot be held responsible for delay in
dispatch due to unforeseen circumstances.
20. Any refund or compensation for loss prior to delivery
will not exceed the purchase price of the goods in dispute. No refund or
compensation will be given until the goods are returned to Raceleathers or the
carrier has admitted liability for loss or damage.
21. Stated delivery times are those quoted by the relevant
carrier and are not absolutely guaranteed. However, Raceleathers will endeavour
to assist customers if a consignment is not received within reasonable time.
Availability
22. Goods featured at Raceleathers' eBay shop are usually,
unless otherwise stated, available from stock. In the event of goods not being
available the customer will be informed of the reason and expected delay, the
option to proceed or not will then rest with the customer.
23. Raceleathers reserves the right to refuse to supply
goods without reason.
24. Raceleathers shall endeavour to reply to reasonable
genuine enquiries regarding goods displayed at Raceleathers eBay shop within a
maximum of 1 working day. However, unforeseen circumstances may occasionally
extend this response time.
25. All sizing advice is given in good faith and as a guide
only. It's virtually impossible, for us to match customers with certainty to off
the peg garments without first trying them on. There are so many variables, not
just size and shape but also personal preferences, riding position etc... It is
the customer’s responsibility to establish the correct size prior to ordering.
Any returns due to incorrect size shall be subject to our returns policy.
26. Due to the limits imposed by digital reproduction the
exact colour of products displayed on this web site cannot be guaranteed.

normal warranty to export orders. However, we take particular care to ensure
that all products are thoroughly checked prior to despatch.
28. Products shipped to UK destinations are supplied with a 12 month (unless specified otherwise), from date of purchase, warranty against manufacturing defects, this
warranty is subject to the item being exposed to reasonable wear and tear. Items
returned for warranty will be inspected for abuse before repair or replacement
can commence. Any goods we consider to have been abused will be refused.
Raceleathers will not be responsible for any postal charges either way in
respect of warranties.
29. The warranty will not apply to items subject to
apparent crash damage and any other signs of negligent use including any attempt
by the customer to modify or repair items.
30. Subject to items under warranty being returned in
reasonable condition, Raceleathers, at their discretion, will replace or repair
the item.

32. Whilst items of safety equipment are designed to help
physically protect you in the event of an accident no warranty of these
protective qualities is offered or inferred. Please remember good quality riding
equipment does not make you indestructible, however, it should enhance your
level of safety if used and worn correctly. Ride within your limits and consider
climatic conditions and other road users.
