The steel used in Apache Horse floats is hot dipped galvanised. Galvanising helps to stop the process of rust forming, however it does not prevent rust in certain situations. If chemicals, acids or salt water gets on the float then it should be washed of immediately. Also any scratches and stone chips that can penetrate the galvanising should be treated and painted immediately to help prevent rust forming. This warranty does not cover rust forming in the horse float due to the above situations and does not cover general wear and tear of the horse float. This includes horses chewing or scratching the horse float and the use of any feed buckets and hay nets in or attached to the horse float.  Custom paint colours - whilst every effort is made to ensure your choice of colour is correct, Apache Floats will not be held liable for colour discrepancies or variations.
Apache Floats reserves the right to make changes to floats currently in production and assumes no obligation to apply these changes to previous models produced.
This warranty supersedes all other expressed or implied warranties. No person is authorised to give or make changes to this warranty on behalf of Apache Floats, nor are they to assume Apache Floats have any other liability in connection with any of its products unless made in writing and signed by the proprietor of Apache Floats.
