Sale Terms and Conditions

Details

I offer rods at fair prices, based on what the rod cost to acquire and restore if necessary, and a reasonable market-up, below the average for this business. I am open to fair offers and potential trades for other high-end, classic rods and reels.

Terms of Sale, Inspection and Return Policy

By purchasing a rod from Swift River Fly Fishing you agree to abide by the following terms. Payment by check or money order is preferred. PayPal is accepted but it may be necessary to add 3% to the cost of the rod, shipping and insurance to cover added fees. Rods are described to the best of my ability after careful inspection and research to verify condition and originality. However, mistakes do happen and all rods are sold with a two day inspection period. This inspection period is to verify the rod is as described with no significant issues or defects other than those in the description. Any defects noted in the description are taken into account in pricing the rod. If any other substantive problem with the rod is identified within the inspection period a full refund is offered. The inspection period is a not intended as a trial period to see if the action is suitable or the rod measures up to some subjective standard. If you take a rod out to cast or fish that means you have accepted the rod as advertised and are solely responsible for any damage that occurs. Attempts to renegotiate the price of a rod after it has been received are not welcome. You can accept the rod in as described condition or indicate any substantive issues not included in the description and ask to return the rod for a refund. Please examine any rod throughly upon arrival. Rods returned in violation of this policy are subject to a 20% relisting fee. Never ship a rod without first discussing the timing and shipping method. A rod must be returned in the condition in which it was shipped. Be certain to repack the rod correctly and insure it for full value.

There are no refunds for return shipping. If a rod is returned damaged it becomes the buyer's full responsibility. No refund will be issued for a damaged rod. It is the buyer's responsibility to file any insurance claim. If a rod is damaged during use I am happy to repair it at a reasonable price. All international sales are final due to high shipping costs and added risk of loss or damage.
