Online Warranty Policy

Products produced by Adventure Operations Australia Pty Ltd (and its related subsidiaries/brands) come with a manufacturer’s warranty. This warranty period differs between products, please see individual packaging for warranty period.

The warranty covers manufacturing faults or defects in the original product.  Damage or faults occurring from fair wear and tear, improper use, failure to follow instructions, failure to follow care and maintenance instructions, accidental damage, alterations, severe weather events, and animals are not covered by warranty. Please see Warranty Policy for full details.

The first step to get a warranty return under way is to contact Adventure Operations with your details ([email protected]), a description of the problem and some photos of the issue if possible.  From these details we will be able to advise the next course of action which will usually be to either provide replacement parts or to initiate a return.
