  Should you wish to return an item for a refund or exchange, please do so within 7 days of receipt.

We do not refund carriage charges unless we have sent you the wrong item i.e. you ordered a piston and we sent you a light bulb.
  Due to the nature of our business there are many variations in machine specification. Often, changes have been made to machines by previous owners that mean when we supply the correct part for that model it will not fit. We will endeavor to find you the correct parts and where possible take back the item we supplied. However, if we have supplied an item you specifically ordered and we would have little chance of selling it on we will be unable to provide a refund. We will always deal with these instances on a case by case basis.
  Please note that you are responsible for any returned goods until they arrive with us.
  This policy does not apply to used or second hand items which are non returnable.
  
  
• "Used" items do not have a warranty and are sold as seen.
  
  
• Smallholder Services shall not be liable for loss, injury or any damage relating to parts, machinery or information supplied by ourselves. Warranties extend as far as those given to us by our suppliers. All parts are only to be fitted by competent persons, if you are in any doubt consult a qualified engineer.
  
  
• Part Numbers:
  OEM part numbers are for cross reference purposes only, and do not imply that our parts are made by the OEM. Our parts are sourced from reputable UK manufacture's who may, or may not have made the originals.
