Risk of Loss

All items purchased from Forageplus are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items passes to you upon our delivery to the carrier.

Our Contract

When you place an order, you will receive an acknowledgement e-mail confirming receipt of your order. This email will only be an acknowledgement and will not constitute acceptance of your order. Forageplus retains the right to accept or reject this offer before processing the order. A contract between us for the purchase of the goods will not be formed until your payment has been approved by us, the prices have been verified, and the order has been processed and dispatched.

Pricing & Availability

Whilst we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices which appear on this website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any goods which you have ordered we will inform you of this as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund. Where applicable, prices are inclusive of VAT. Delivery costs will be charged in addition; such additional charges are clearly displayed where applicable and included in the ‘Grand Total’.

Sometimes reasons beyond our control mean that you will not receive your parcel when you expected. We cannot guarantee delivery within a certain time frame and where orders are multiple and one item is delayed we will ship as one order. If your products are essential then having extra products in stock is a good policy so you do not run out. Please do not make your lack of organisation a crisis and a drama on our behalf.

The website may contain typographical errors or other errors or inaccuracies and may not be complete or current. We, therefore, reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice. We reserve the right to refuse to fulfil any orders that you may place based on information on the website that may contain errors or inaccuracies, including, without limitation, errors, inaccuracies or out-of-date information regarding pricing, shipping, payment terms, or return policies.

We do not routinely add scoops to any of our products.  This is because we believe that the plastic waste from receiving a scoop with every order is unnecessary.  Our products are priced for sale with the inclusion of the scoop recommended on the feed rate tab. We will only send scoops for your order that are reasonable for the products bought. If you choose too many scoops or scoops which do not correspond with the product you are buying, Forageplus reserves the right to change the scoops to match the order. Forageplus provides one scoop per product purchased.

If you need scoops that were not sent with your order you will need to pay the postage to have them sent out to you.

All analysis services should be used within 6 months of purchase to avoid any additional costs due to lab price increases.

Order Collections

If you select the option to collect your order from our Warehouse location, you must first wait for confirmation that your order is ready to collect before arriving at our warehouse.

If you arrive at our warehouse without prior notice that your item is ready for collection, your item may not be ready or it may currently be out of stock. In this instance, it is the customer’s responsibility to return and collect the item when it is available.

Overseas Orders

Orders being shipped outside the UK may be subjected to tax, customs charges and administration fees on entry to the country. Once an international shipment reaches customs for clearance, any delays or subsequent processing time will be out of the control of Forageplus Ltd until local customs have cleared the shipment for release. When an order is held with customs we would be unable to provide a refund until the product has been released and the order returned to us, any outstanding fees for unpaid customs charges, VAT, handling or administration fees would be deducted from your refund amount along with any additional shipping costs. 

Forageplus are not able to advise the exact charges each country will apply to international orders as this can vary for each country and order.  It is the customer’s responsibility to know about and pay all customs, tax and administration charges relating to shipments outside the UK.

Refunds, Faulty Goods & Cancellations

Forageplus cannot accept returns of opened items unless goods are faulty or damaged.

Forageplus cannot accept returns or give refunds for products that have been opened and transferred into other storage containers.  The packaging your product is supplied in is sealed and carefully chosen for the shelf life of the product. 

If you choose to remove any Forageplus product from its original packaging and store it in a container chosen by yourself Forageplus are not responsible for the product then being spoiled.  Incorrect storage of our products may expose them to moisture, particularly in cold weather conditions where products are stored in a damp place and then weather temperature rises quickly. Some of the products are hygroscopic which means they will absorb moisture from the air.

Our products do not contain mould inhibitors or chemicals to prolong shelf life as these can be detrimental to horse health, particularly sensitive horses.

If our products are stored incorrectly, clumping may occur and even mould, which will make the product unfit for horse consumption.  This is a direct result of incorrect storage. You should take care to seal the bags, once opened, carefully after every use, using the seal at the top of the bag. Always keep the product in a dry place. This will avoid moisture affecting the product.  If you feel you have to transfer the product from the packaging, the container you choose must be completely airtight and have a rubber seal. Old feed tubs do not have airtight lids and should never be used.

All discussions through email and phone calls regarding the purchase of products from Forageplus are advice and based on suggestions to support and maintain horse health. Customers are free to accept or reject this advice and pursue their own research before purchasing Forageplus products.

Forageplus cannot accept the return of opened items which horses will not eat.  The nature of supplements means that smell and taste can affect a horse’s willingness to consume the product.  We will however give advice and suggestions to help you feed your purchase successfully to your horse.

If for some reason you receive a faulty or damaged item, or you believe your order to be incorrect, please inform us immediately (within 5 working days), we will then send you a replacement, or an alternative item, correct the mistake or investigate further.  We will need you to supply photographs to support claims and return the damaged, faulty or incorrect item to us with all packaging including the shipping label. Failure to return the item with the packaging and the shipping label will result in us being unable to make a claim against the shipping company and therefore we will not be able to refund your shipping costs.

Returned items must be returned within 60 days from the initial purchase date, products to be returned over the 60 days may still be eligible for a store credit, this will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Customers who specifically request not to use packaging, bubble wrap etc. will forfeit their right to return products that are damaged in transit. The packaging we use is to prevent any damage which is common when shipping.

Please contact us to discuss the problem before you return the item by the cheapest signed-for method (usually Royal Mail). We will refund you the cost of your postage within 48 hours once we receive the item if the item is faulty or the mistake was our fault. Please note you will need to return the item before we can consider any refund or replacement.  With some items, we will need to refer to the manufacturer and be led by their opinion on faults and damage.

Where an order may have been damaged whilst being shipped you will need to either refuse the parcel or tell us within 3 working days of receipt that the shipment was damaged.

If you wish to cancel your order you should do so before 9 am the following morning in order to qualify for a full refund.  If you cancel your order after 9 am then we reserve the right to deduct the shipping cost from the amount and a possible handling fee of £5. If your order has already been dispatched, a shipping fee will be deducted from any refund amount.

If a customer wishes to cancel an order after the order has been received or dispatched then please return the items to us.  The items must have been purchased within 60 days of the return date. The cost of return is the customer’s responsibility. The items should be unopened and in a re-saleable condition. Customers will then have the cost of the products minus the Forageplus shipping costs returned to them.  Forageplus reserve the right to deduct an administration fee of £3 which is in line with PayPal charges and a handling fee of £5 for each separate invoice. Customers outside the UK will have an extra £5 deducted to cover currency fluctuations and overseas transaction fees.

Please note that where a customer has placed an order to a value that free shipping applied and wishes to receive a refund, the shipping costs incurred by Forageplus will be deducted from any refund amount.

All orders including Analysis and Feed Plan orders that are cancelled more than one month after purchase will have an administration fee of £3 deducted which is in line with PayPal charges and a handling fee of £5 for each separate invoice. Customers outside the UK will have an extra £5 deducted to cover currency fluctuations and overseas transaction fees. If you have ordered an analysis where a physical kit has been supplied, an additional fee to cover the cost of the analysis kit will be deducted from any refund amount due.

Exceptions to the Returns Policy

Gift cards, eGift cards or eVouchers cannot be returned or exchanged for cash.

Analysis Services

We aim to complete and return forage analysis reports to you as soon as we possibly can. Occasionally economic issues, out of the company’s control will delay reports. 

Most grass, hay or haylage reports are completed and returned within 14 working days from when we receive the forage sample, however, this can take longer depending on a number of factors including the season, how busy it is at the lab, and public holidays and postal strikes.

We are not an express analysis service and we do not advertise ourselves to be. Reports will be sent via email as soon as they are completed.

Soil analysis reports can take up to 6 weeks to be returned but the average is around one month from the date of the us receiving the sample in our office. 

Water reports have a turnaround time of around 3 weeks.

You should look to use your analysis within 12 months of purchase. We can not issue refunds or store credit on analysis orders older than 24 months from the date of purchase.

Feed Suggestions

Our bespoke feed suggestions are based on forage analysis (and where applicable, in addition; water analysis results). We formulate suggestions unique to your individual horse’s requirements. Feed suggestions are given at the discretion of the company and are not included in the price of any forage or water analysis report.

It is important for safety and horse welfare that the information provided to Forageplus is up-to-date and as accurate as possible. Failure to provide sufficient information and or photos via our horse information form may result in us being unable to provide you with feed suggestions. This policy is in place for horse safety and also for our own safety as a company.

All communication regarding horses, their nutrition, and the suggestions Forageplus provides will be carried out via email. Forageplus cannot discuss feed suggestions relating to analysis reports through telephone calls. This is a policy to ensure the best efficiency and speed and enables records of all communication to keep both the horse and the company safe.

The timeframe for completion of feed suggestions is dependent upon demand. Each feed suggestion request will be placed in a queue and will be responded to as soon as possible. We can only begin to calculate feed suggestions once the analysis report has been completed. The feed suggestions will normally take 1-2 weeks longer than the analysis report, but this is totally dependent upon employee annual leave and the level of demand for this free service.

Policy Regarding Implementing Feed Suggestions

Customers who have previously received detailed Forageplus feed suggestions after a full mineral and or nutritional analysis, but have not implemented the suggested dietary changes, will have to pay a £200 fee to receive further feed suggestions based on the new analysis results. This £200 fee will then be reissued to the customer in the form of a store credit, which is redeemable against all Forageplus balancers and supplements.

This policy has been introduced to ensure that our nutritionists are able to help those who are committed to implementing the feed suggestions which require a significant amount of time and expertise to complete. It allows us to dedicate our resources efficiently and effectively, prioritising customers who are actively engaged in improving their horse’s nutrition and supporting the unique, forage-centric, feed suggestion service that Forageplus offers.

Incorrect Details Provided to Forageplus

It is your job to give Forageplus all the correct details regarding the shipping address to which your order will be delivered.  Forageplus cannot accept any liability for incorrect details entered by you during the check out process or given over the phone as a telephone order.

The responsibility to check that the shipping address is the correct one lies with the customer.  You should be careful to check that the addressed entered is the correct one for both billing and shipping as they can be different from each other.

If you give us incorrect shipping information and the parcel arrives at the wrong location Forageplus cannot be held liable but we will do our best to help you sort the matter out. Note that extra shipping costs incurred in this event will need to be paid by the customer.

However, Forageplus does not warrant that product descriptions or other content of this site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a product offered by Forageplus itself is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition.

Coupons are valid for a limited time and only while stocks last. Forageplus reserves the right to modify or cancel coupons at any time. Discount will not be applied before or after the period the coupon is active. If you do not purchase the qualifying items added to your Cart when the coupon is in effect, the discount will not apply. The coupon applies only to qualifying items displayed on the Forageplus Wednesday Coupon Code page. The coupon offer will not be valid until it is applied to the qualifying item. The coupon may only be used on the Forageplus website. If you return any of the items purchased with a coupon, the coupon discount or value may be subtracted from the return credit. Applicable shipping and handling charges apply to all products. Offer good only while supplies last. Void where prohibited. Forageplus has no obligation for payment of any tax in conjunction with the distribution or use of any coupon. The consumer is required to pay any applicable sales tax related to the use of the coupon. Coupons are void if restricted or prohibited by law. Limitations of liability: Neither the Forageplus, its agents or anyone professionally connected to the coupon promotion, assumes any responsibility or liability for the inaccessibility or unavailability of the internet or the website or any combination thereof. Any injury or damage to participants/entrants upon delivery and/or use of their coupon. System failures on the website. Forageplus respectfully asks customers not to email or telephone requesting information about future coupons, please wait for notification on the website, social media or the email sent to your inbox. Coupons may not be used in conjunction with any other active coupons or subscription purchases.

Points & Rewards

You can earn reward points on any purchases you place with Forageplus. These reward points can be applied to the cart page when placing an order. These points have an expiry of 18 months and should be used within 18 months. Once points have expired we are unable to reapply these to your account.
 
Points can be earned on purchases of all mineral balancers and supplements. It is not possible to earn points on any of our hay pallets, analysed horse feeds or analysis services. This is because we offer these products and services at cost, with no profit margin. Allowing our customers to earn points on these products would leave us out of pocket and this would not be sustainable for us.
