Warranty

The company Bruce Goldsmith Design GmbH, referred to as BGD, takes the greatest care in design and production of 
its products and proudly offers 2 years or 200 hours warranty from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects.

You are required to complete the warranty form on the website within 14 days of purchase. Only a fully completed 
warranty form will be accepted to validate the warranty.

In order to settle a warranty claim, BGD must be notified in writing immediately after discovery of a defect, and 
the affected product must be sent to BGD for inspection. BGD will then decide how a possible fault should be 
rectified, either through repair, replacement of parts or replacement of the product. Solely BGD or an agreed service 

centre should undertake repair or replacement of the damaged parts. If unapproved third parties undertake repair 

work, there will be no entitlement to compensation under this warranty. The owner is not entitled to replacement 
equipment during the warranty claim. 

Some degradation of materials due to wear and tear is to be considered normal and will be excluded from claims. 
Damage due to careless or incorrect use of the product including accidents, inadequate maintenance, unsuitable 
storage, damage by solvents, fuel, chemicals, sand or seawater, overloading, exposure to extreme temperatures, or 
prolonged sun exposure and colour fading are also excluded. 

The claim for warranty service exists solely between the original owner of the equipment and BGD. The warranty 
obligations only apply to private sport and leisure-time activities, not for use for commercial purposes. If you are 
unsure about any information contained in this manual, please contact your BGD dealer. 

Bruce Goldsmith and team.
