Limited Warranty
All new Catch Surf boards are warranted to be free of manufacturing and materials defects for thirty (30) days from the date of purchase, subject to the full terms and conditions of the warranty below. All claims of any manufacturing or materials defect must be made within thirty (30) days directly to Catch Surf or to the retail store where the board was purchased, together with proof of purchase, using the procedure under the heading “Warranty Resolution” below.
If it is determined upon inspection by Catch Surf that a manufacturing defect is present, then Catch Surf will repair the board or replace the board with like merchandise at its sole discretion.
No monetary refunds or exchanges for any product other than a Catch Surf board will be made.
Any Catch Surf boards used for commercial purposes, such as rentals, surf schools and camps, are not warranted for any period of time.
The installation of any third party parts and/or accessories, such as fins, grips and/or mounts, on the Catch Surf board voids the limited warranty. Drilling or cutting into, and/or affixing objects to, the Catch Surf board also voids the warranty.
Although Catch Surf boards are made with the finest materials and manufactured to the highest standards in the industry, because of the nature of surfing, Catch Surfboard Co. cannot warrant against damage to or breakage of a board caused or incurred during its use, even if such damage falls within the thirty (30) day limited warranty period.
Damage to any Catch Surf board resulting from wear and tear, misuse, exposure to the sun, heat or elements, or simply caused by the demands of the board when in use, including but not limited to boards that are wrecked, snapped, punctured, scraped, broken, crushed, compressed, dented, and fins or straps that are broken or damaged, or any other damage or breakage of any kind that is not caused by a manufacturing or materials defect, is not covered at any time.
Due to nature of materials used in the construction of soft surfboards in general, there will be some water absorption, which is normal and not a defect. This water typically drains after each use.
Catch Surf boards are manufactured to last for many years with proper care in accordance with our Care & Handling Guide. Any board that has not been cared for and handled in accordance with our Care & Handling Guide is not covered by this limited warranty.
