Applicable to Luggage, Gloves, Riding Apparel, Layers, Hard Parts, and Related Accessories

These General Terms apply across all ViaTerra product categories in addition to the category-specific terms below. In the event of any conflict, the more stringent condition shall apply.
Warranty Period & Eligibility
- Warranty commences from the date of the original purchase, irrespective of the date of delivery, registration, gifting, or first use.
- Warranty is valid only for the original purchaser and is strictly non-transferable.
- Applicable only to products purchased from ViaTerra's official website, Amazon, or authorized dealers. Products purchased from unauthorized resellers, third-party marketplaces, or second-hand are not covered.
- Valid proof of purchase (invoice/order ID) and, where applicable, batch code/product tag must be provided before any claim is assessed.
Additional Scrutiny for Late-Stage Claims
- ViaTerra reserves the right to request additional information, usage history, or evidence for any claim raised in the latter half of the warranty period, and to decline claims where the evidence is inconclusive or inconsistent.
Assessment Process
- All warranty claims are subject to inspection by the ViaTerra technical team. Falling within the warranty period does not, by itself, guarantee approval of a claim.
- ViaTerra reserves the sole right to determine whether an issue constitutes a manufacturing defect or falls under an excluded category (wear and tear, misuse, accident, etc.).
- Products submitted for assessment must be clean and free of excessive dirt, mud, odour, or debris, and must include all original accessories, tags, and packaging where applicable. ViaTerra reserves the right to decline inspection of unhygienic or incomplete submissions.
- Once a product is received at our facility, please allow 1–2 weeks for inspection and processing. Actual turnaround may vary depending on the nature of the assessment or repair.
Resolution & Cost Allocation
- If a manufacturing defect is confirmed, resolution will strictly follow this order: Repair (preferred) → Replacement, only if repair is not feasible → Refund, only if neither repair nor replacement can be arranged.
- Where a refund is issued, it will in no case exceed the original invoice value. A refund is not a guaranteed or default outcome of any claim.
- Any repair, replacement, or refund provided under warranty does not restart, extend, or renew the warranty period.
Preventing Misuse of Policy
- ViaTerra reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to decline any claim where the pattern of the claim indicates possible misuse of this policy — including but not limited to: claims filed shortly before warranty expiry without prior reporting of issues, repeated claims on the same product or account, inconsistent or altered evidence, or evidence indicating the product has been used beyond what is reasonable for the elapsed period.
- The decision of the ViaTerra technical team regarding claim eligibility, defect classification, and resolution shall be final and binding.

Handcrafted Product Note

However, a genuine stitching defect identified in a new glove (e.g., an open seam or broken stitching) is covered: ViaTerra will first attempt a repair (restitching); if repair is not possible, a replacement will be issued; a refund (per the Resolution & Cost Allocation section) applies only if neither is possible.
