LIMITED WARRANTY FOR AIRIS™ PADDLEBOARDS
(For export markets please contact the distributor or dealer for your country.
See www.walkerbay.com for distributor/dealer listing)
Attorneys can turn usefull Warranty Information into a document that is hard to understand.
The following is an explanation of the Walker Bay AIRIS
™
Paddleboard Limited Warranty in simple terms.
To be covered under the Walker Bay Limited Warranty, you must register your craft online with Walker Bay within 30
days of purchase. Warranty Registration can be submitted by you or your Dealer online at: www.walkerbay.com
Warranty registration extends the limited warranty on your AirWeb
™
hull from ninety (90) days to one (1) year from
date of purchase.
Registration also enables us to contact you should there be a recall or service notice. If you do not register, Warranty
coverage is limited to ninety (90) days from date of purchase.
Warranty coverage is for defects in materials and workmanship, not from damage that occurs in shipping or from
usage. In the event of damage not covered under warranty, consult your insurance carrier.
AIRIS
™
high pressure paddleboards are covered by the Walker Bay Limited Warranty under two categories:
- AIRIS AIRWEB HIGH PRESSURE HULL MATERIAL
- ACCESSORIES
1. AIRIS
™
AIRWEB
™
HIGH PRESSURE HULL MATERIAL - 1 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
For determining air retention and serviceability Walker Bay follows ABYC (American Boat & Yacht Council) standard
H-28 and ISO (International Standards Organization) standard 6185.
AIRWEB Limited 1 year Warranty covers:
- Air retention
- Structural integrity of the tube/body
- Servicability
- Seams and gluing
The AIRWEB material warranty does not cover:
- Damage from bumping or scraping against something.
- Damage from hitting objects above or below the water.
- Damage from over inflation or exposure to excessive heat, changes in air pressure or altitude.
2. ACCESSORIES - 90 DAY LIMITED WARRANTY
An accessory is defined as something that can be added or removed from the craft such as D-rings, handles, valves,
pump, backpack, etc. For these items we offer a ninety (90) day limited warranty for defects in material and
workmanship.
Getting Service
It is recommended that you return to your selling dealer for service. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to get
the craft to a Walker Bay AIRIS
™
dealer for service. Walker Bay will not cover the cost of transportation to the dealer.
Walker Bay decides whether to repair or replace the part.
In the event of a possible Warranty Claim, have your paddleboard examined by your dealer. Your dealer will facilitate
the Warranty Claim process with Walker Bay. To process a warranty Walker Bay requires a copy of the Bill of Sale, a
completed Warranty Claim Form, and pictures of the problem. Walker Bay endeavors to handle all issues in an
expedient manner, so you can get back on the water.
What is not Covered
The Walker Bay AIRIS
™
Paddleboard Limited Warranty, covers defects in materials and workmanship. This means that
when you take delivery, all the parts fit and are in proper condition and that they will continue to fit and operate as
per their intended design as long as they are not damaged by an outside force.
Walker Bay AIRIS
™
Paddleboards are designed and built for recreational purposes. They are not commercial products,
so using them for that purpose means they won’t be covered under our warranty.
The warranty does not cover the effects of untraviolet light, fire, waves, rocks, coral reefs, fallout, acid rain, hurricanes,
tornados and other extreme forces of nature. The same is true for damage related to accidents or vandalism or abuse.
Everything ages and normal aging is not something covered under a warranty. With age comes fading, discoloring
and the need for a little more maintenance - none of which is covered under warranty. The better you take care of
your product the longer it will last. Sheltering the craft from the sun and heat when not in use is always
recommended. Keep the board away from sharp objects that could cause damage.
We hope that your Walker Bay AIRIS
™
Paddleboard will provide you with many years of enjoyment.
