(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.)

Returns made after this period will be subject to our approval and may incur a 15% restocking charge.

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. All helmets supplied by RaceLeathers will be sealed by way of a security label and should this be broken or removed, a return will not be accepted. The only reason we will accept a return on a motorcycle helmet is if the seal remains intact which in effect means that the helmet has not been removed from its box. The same ruling also applies to any CD’s or DVD’s

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.

Likewise, Raceleathers shall endeavour to dispatch goods paid for by monies other than cheques (see 2) on the day they are banked.

19. Raceleathers cannot be held responsible for delay in dispatch due to unforeseen circumstances.
