Warranty

  • General and horse rider/riding specific guidelines

    Warranty rights are governed by the Civil Code and apply to all Consumer contracts (purchase). These rights are based on the fact that if the Consumer has a defective product that is of a weaker quality than the expected (in price/value ratio), with a defective error (as he/she does not know the mistake and rightly assumes that the product is defective), then the contract is considered to be defective the distributor is liable.

    Generally, this is a malfunction if the product does not meet the following criteria:

    • should be suitable for purposes which the same type of services (in the same price range) are normally used
    • it must have the features contained in the description given by the debtor and that it has the attributes of the service presented to him/her as a sample

    Please always consider our written and oral recommendations for each product, which is of particular importance to the equestrian sport. For example, the saddle, breeches, caps/helmets, halters, etc. which are suitable for hobby purposes, lightweight, occasional riders, obedient, well-trained horses, are not suitable for competition and training purposes, daily multiple hours use, foal equipment, heavyweight rider, etc.

    • must have the quality or performance that is customary for the same type of services (in the same price range) and which the holder may expect, taking into account the nature of the service, and the recommendations of the manufacturer, the importer or his representative of the specific characteristics of the service

    Price always refers to quality, except for the running-out, outlet and last items that can be very good quality items on really cheap prices.

    • it must be appropriate for the purpose determined by the rightholder if the claimant has brought it to the debtor at the time of the conclusion of the contract and the debtor has consented to it

    Here, let's note that discounted products - if they are not seasonal, are no longer manufactured and are running out of stock - are cheaper because they do not meet the expected quality. In these cases, aesthetic errors such as leather wear and color loss may occur soon. They are not as durable as the same type of unprivileged goods, but they can only be used with certain restrictions - but because of their very favorable price, buyers need this kind of sale. But in all of these cases, we bring to the attention of our customers the cause of the devaluation, and the acknowledgment must be confirmed by the buyer. (Signature, transfer, etc.)

    And the buyer should keep in mind

    • the special features of the particular types of horses and their special equipment (eg. western saddles are not suitable for Nonnius, low-cost nylon leadropes are not suitable for commanding stallions)
    • the appropriate clothing and protective equipment (eg. tearing of a more than a few sizes smaller breeches, buying helmets by saying "he/she will grow into it" causing insufficient protection)
    • advice on how to care for leather (even before the first use) and equipment, because neglecting them will invalidate warranty!

    We can not be held liable for such defects caused by negligent purchase and use!

    [For more info, see: Ptk. 277.§, 305.§. 305/A.§] (in Hungarian)

    (In addition, the parties may agree on other terms in the contract (eg. selling a damaged product as a depreciation), but the presumption of course means that the creditor wishes to obtain a flawless product that is of impeccable quality.

    If the defect occurred during normal use, it is generally assumed that this is a malfunction.

    The most typical example of the use of warranties is the shoe-related complaint. There is usually no warranty for the shoe (optional). It is said to be a "one-year warranty" because the indemnity gives the same rights as the warranty for the first 12 months. The difference between the first twelve months and the remainder of the warranty is that if the cause of the fault is disputed, then in the first 12 months the trader has to prove that it was not due to improper use, until the burden of proof turns, the Consumer has to prove that the cause of the defect was already in effect and was under normal use.

    The most important things to remember about leather is not to get it soiled, soaked, or let it dry out. Despite the fact that all of these things can be rectified to some extent, it is helpful to not let leather get into such a condition in the first place. Proper storage, cleaning, and conditioning will keep leather looking as good as new no matter how old it is.

    Storing leather properly when it is not being used is the most important thing you can do to keep it in its best condition. When leather is stored it should not be in extreme hot or cold, or in excessive dryness or humidity.

    Treat or remove any stains on the leather before cleaning it. Use warm leather soapy water. Rub the leather with a soft cloth to produce a lather in any area you want to clean. Wipe away excess lather with a clean cloth. Rinse leather thoroughly either by running through warm water or wiping several times with a damp cloth. Pat leather dry with a clean towel to remove excess water and to make it more shiny. Allow leather to dry flat in a warm place out of direct sunlight and away from a strong heat source (fire, heater, stove, etc.)

    Than use leather oil or grease with a a lint free soft cloth when conditioning leather, microfiber cloths are ideal. Never apply contitioner (oil or grease) directly to the leather, apply to cloth first.

    Never use grease or oil on the suede parts, use only heavy brushes or sandpapers on them.

    Use always only the recommended care products specifically designed for this use, such as the care products that offers Tattini. Other materials and chemicals can damage the skin, sewing and painting.
