The recipient of the order is responsible for all customs formalities for the import of the products, and will be required to pay any additional charges for international delivery, including import duty, formal customs entry, taxes, levies and other charges that may be levied outside of Australia. The recipient of the products, not the person placing the order, will receive a separate request for payment of these charges. If you are ordering products to be delivered to someone else, please ensure they are made aware that they will be responsible for these additional charges.

You (or the recipient of the products if different) will be the importer for all international deliveries of the products.

AFTER-PAY and ZIP-PAY

ONLINE AFTERPAY OR ZIP-PAY RETURNS

Online purchases with After-pay or Zip-Pay used as a payment method are a little bit different!

The preferred method of returns for any online purchase paid for by After-pay is via the online store. However you can return your After-pay purchases in-store or online for an exchange or refund, subject to this Returns Policy. This is how:

Through the Online store via post:

Follow the Online Returns process. We will notify After-pay of your return and your After-pay payment plan will be adjusted accordingly. Please note that the refund amounts are taken off the last payment(s) first. If at least one payment has been made in relation to the purchase, and the refunded amount is greater than the amount outstanding, the difference between these amounts will be refunded to the credit/debit card that you used to place the order. The bank may take 5-7 days to refund the money to your card. For more information visit: https://www.afterpay.com.au/

No adjustment will be made to your After-pay or Zip-Pay payment plan and you will need to continue to pay this out as normal. Your refund will be processed back to your credit/debit card. This is a requirement of your contract with After-pay.

Please note with all After-pay and Zip-Pay purchases no refund will be given on postage and providers fees and charges will also be deducted If refund is required.

It is your responsibility to ensure purchased products are fit for the intended use. Gala Equine accepts no liability for loss, damage, injury or death or consequential loss to any property, person or animal resulting from the use or misuse, incorrect fitting or failure of any of our products.
