WARRANTY TERMS
WARRANTY AND EXCHANGE
There is no certain time a cricket bat will last. Cricket bats are made from willow which is a natural material and it is repeatedly hit with a leather cricket ball. Deterioration and a small amount of cracking are normal & inevitable. This shouldn’t have any impact on the performance of the bat. AMAFHHA Sports always recommend having an extratec fitted to get maintenance free use and longevity for your bat.
It is highly recommended that you DO NOT use your bat against a bowling machine. Bat use against a bowling machine can severely damage the bat and will reduce the life and performance. It is recommended that cheap dense hard solid wood bat is used for practice against bowling machines. Looking after your cricket bat and regular maintenance is imperative for extensive life. Please see below our warranty terms and conditions; Subject to the terms and conditions set out below.
Cricket bat warranty is a goodwill agreement offered by all manufacturers to repair or replace a bat that is damage due to manufacturing fault. All warranty decisions are at the discretion of the manufacturer.
AMAFHHA Sports agree to repair or replace your gear in circumstances where it’s deemed to be manufacturer’s fault.
All English Willow cricket bats sold by us are subject to a discretionary 12-month from the date of purchase (including replacement bats), manufacturers’ warranty for any damage
deemed not to be the fault of the purchaser. Depending on the nature of the warranty claim, at the manufacturers’ discretion, they may choose to repair or replace the item in
question. For cricket bats, warranty is only applicable for blade and handle (toe, edges and shoulders are not covered and can be broken by a wrong shot selection).
When the manufacturer has inspected the item and reached a conclusion concerning the warranty claim, the customer will be notified of the outcome – being either the item
repaired, credited for replacement/exchange or the warranty claim being refused.
