Contour Saddlery, Natural Horseman Saddles, Inc, wants you and your horse to be happy with our products and our service. The research and development we have performed insures our ability to build a saddle system and customizable fit that provides satisfaction for you both. Our team is available to serve you if you have custom fitting questions or concerns. In order to understand our Terms, Conditions and Return Policy, please read our Buyers Agreement carefully.

1. TERMS & CONDITIONS
All of our saddles are handcrafted by Master Saddlers, built on our proprietary SMARTFLX TM trees, exclusively made for Natural Horseman Saddles. All saddles engage the serious effort and talent of a number of craftspeople and staff who go to work for you upon receipt of your order. Each of our saddles is an individual piece of art, crafted incorporating natural, colored and/or oiled hides. We utilize only the best quality-tanned leather from tanneries sourced in the US and in England. As a natural product, leather can show scars the animal has incurred during its lifetime. Scars may become more prominent after oiling and are often more evident on some colors (light oil, medium oil) than others (chestnut, dark brown, black). Scars are individual “birth marks”, making every saddle very special and unique. Since every hide is different, colors can tone differently. While one “medium oil” is darker or more “orange” than another, “chestnut” can turn out anywhere from red to “brownish”. You should be aware that a Western saddle color will likely darken over time due to loving care which must always include handrubbed oil. Sun exposure will have an effect on the saddle color, too. The delivery time on your saddle is regularly approx. 3 – 4 months. In rare cases, the production of your saddle can take up to 6 months or longer. Delays in Customs Inspection offices when shipping internationally can easily extend the delivery time you may wait for your saddle – this cannot always be foreseen and is simply out of our control.

2. PAYMENT POLICY
At time of order, a 15% non-refundable deposit on your saddle may be required to start production of your custom saddle. If no deposit is taken, customer is acknowledging commitment to purchase saddle via order placement and cancellation policy does apply. A full payment is due when your saddle is ready to ship to you, which can be sooner than the anticipated production schedule. If you are unable to pay in full immediately, we ask that a 50% deposit on the total saddle order be made to secure that your saddle is held in our warehouse for up to 2 months. At the end of the 2 months period we ask for a full payment, so your saddle can be shipped to you. If you cannot make your full or 50% payment, sadly, we will be forced to apply a re-stocking fee equal to 15% of the total saddle order and offer the saddle for sale. Natural Horseman Saddles may require a 50% deposit on the saddle order instead of 15%, depending on the type of saddle and style, rider and horse specifications that are selected. A 50% deposit will always be required if more than one saddle is ordered. Our customer service team will notify you when a 50% deposit is required. For accessories full payment is due before we ship your order.

3. CANCELLATION POLICY
Any saddle order may be cancelled at no charge within 48 hrs of order, incl. orders on in-stock saddles. In case the saddle has shipped already (in-stock saddles only), you, the customer, are responsible for round trip shipping costs. After expiration of 48hrs, Saddle orders cannot be cancelled, returned or refunded at any time without prior (to order) written agreement from Natural Horseman Saddles. All Saddle Order cancellations will be subject to a minimum fee totaling 15% of the saddle order. Signature Saddles and custom orders are subject to a 50% cancellation fee.  Once any custom order has been placed in our system (saddle or accessories), you have 10 working days to alter your order ‘free of charge’. After such time, your alterations to specifications (be it color, tooling, hardware, or any other design/size option) will incur fees. These fees will be outlined by our customer service team once the confirmation of your changes has been finalized. If you wish to cancel your order after expiration of 48 hrs after you have placed your order, in-store credit or exchange for alternative saddle may be available in lieu at Natural Horseman Saddles discretion. Any saddle accessory order may be cancelled at no charge within 48 hrs of order. In case the accessory has shipped already, you, the customer, are responsible for round trip shipping costs. The cancelled items must be returned to NHS prior to receiving the refund. After 48 hrs, saddle accessory orders are considered final sale and are non-refundable and non-returnable except for in-store credit at NHS discretion. Although all Natural Horseman Saddles products are non-refundable and non-returnable without prior written agreement from Natural Horseman Saddles, please contact our customer service team and we will do our best to address your concerns.

4. RETURN POLICY

It is your responsibility to inform us and report about damaged, defective items or incorrect shippings within 7 days after you have received our shipment to qualify for refund, exchange or in-store credit.
