PRODUCTION

All products are made to order by hand and may take up to 2 weeks to be prepared for shipment. One-of-a-kind items (coming soon!) are specified in description and available for shipment immediately. 

 

PRE-SALE ITEMS 

From time to time, Four Horses may sell products on pre-sale. Should you purchase an item on pre-sale, you shall be charged for such item to ensure your reservation of the adornment. All pre-sale items shall be shipped as soon as the adornments are completed.

 

RETURNS/EXCHANGES

Four Horses does not accept returns, as all of the adornments are handmade and made-to-order. However there are certain exceptions to this, feel free to contact info@fourhorsesshop.com to discuss your particular situation. I want you to be 100% satisfied with your order and in some cases I will allow exchange. Unfortunately, Four Horses cannot except returns on gift cards at this time.

 

VARIANCE IN MATERIALS

Crystals naturally vary in color and size. Your piece will bear individual characteristics and will vary slightly from the photograph. Every care is taken to select the closest matches for quality control achievable with natural materials.

Horse hair has a "memory". If your piece has spent some time in shipping and conformed to it's confinement in transit we suggest hanging the piece and allowing gravity to apply it's gentle pressure. This should only apply to the longest hair pieces as packaging has been carefully thought out to accommodate most pieces without driving up costs.

I am regrettably not able to exchange for a different piece based on the perceived characteristics of crystals, horse hair or other natural materials used in the products.

 CUSTOMIZATION

Some products come standard with custom measurements to complete at checkout. Above that, all adornments are handmade to order and therefor fully customizable, please reach out to info@fourhorsesshop.com with any requests! Custom sizing, incorporating your own horse's hair, a special stone, etc.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

It is the intent of Four Horses that should any differences arise, we could work them out amicably through written correspondence. However, should we be unable to seek resolution within a reasonable time, you agree now that that the only method of legal dispute resolution that will be used is binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, selected jointly, in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Rules. Prior to seeking arbitration, you must send an e-mail to us at info@fourhorsesshop.com and include all of your reasons for dissatisfaction with your Product. You understand and agree now that the only remedy that can be awarded to you through arbitration is full refund of your Payment made to date. No other actions or financial awards of consequential damages, or any other type of damages, may be granted to you. We both agree now that the decision of the arbitrator is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment into any court having the appropriate jurisdiction.

By purchasing our Products, you are agreeing to a modification of the statute of limitations such that any arbitration must begin within (1) year of the date of your correspondence referenced above or you waive the right to seek dispute resolution by arbitration or take any other legal action.

You also agree that should arbitration take place, it will be held in Somerville, Massachusetts and the prevailing party shall be entitled to all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs necessary to enforce the decision of the arbitrator.

In the event of a dispute between us, you agree to not engage in any conduct or communications, public or private, including on social media, designed to disparage us, our Company, or any of our Products. Where requested by law or arbitration, of course, you are not prohibited from sharing your thoughts and opinions as a part of the legal process.

If any terms of these Terms of Service are construed to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it shall not affect the validity or enforce-ability of any other term which shall be given full force and effect.

 

GOVERNING LAW

These Terms of Service shall be governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts, regardless of the conflict of laws principles thereof.
