How to make a warranty claim
Send your request in writing to support@aquaplanetsports.com, stating your order number, full name and address and providing proof of purchase.
Please include a picture or video detailing the nature of the issue for which you are making the claim.
The claim will be reviewed by our product team, to establish if the damage is covered by the terms of our warranty. If the damage is deemed to be as a result of misuse or wear and tear, you will be informed and Aquaplanet will not have any further responsibility to repair this.
If the damage is covered by the warranty, we will endeavour to repair or replace as per our warranty terms.
For minor aesthetic issues, we may ask you to complete the repair yourself, to enable you to continue using your product without a period of disruption. If you do not feel confident to complete the repair yourself, we will arrange for the product to be returned and complete a repair within 28 days. If the product cannot be repaired in this time, we will endeavour to issue a replacement of equal quality.
If you are prepared to complete the repair yourself, we will provide the materials and instruction to ensure that you can complete this.
If a return to Aquaplanet for repair is required, we will ask you to package up the product that requires repair and provide a pre-paid return label. On receipt of the product, we will check the product for the reported defects and complete the required repairs. Please note, it can take up to 28 days to process a return once we have received this. Refunds can only be issued within the first 30 days from the start of the warranty.
For major issues, reported within the first 6 months of the warranty period, where repair by you is not feasible, we will have the product returned and issue a new product in replacement. If the same product is not available, you may be offered an equivalent product instead.
Returns Policy - Paddleboards
We provide a 14 day cooling off period if you want to return your product unused. The product must be returned in its original packaging and be in a condition suitable for resale.
Should you choose to return your new product, you will only have to pay for the return of your board - either at your own cost or we can deduct a cost of £40 from your refund and arrange a collection. Please note this is for standard mainland UK addresses only, higher charges may apply to addresses in the Highlands, Channel Islands, off shore, Overseas or areas where our courier will charge more to collect from. Please check with us before at the time of your return enquiry.
Please note - although our official policy is 14 days, we do appreciate that given the nature of paddleboarding, the boards can be packed away and not used until a long time after purchase.
Therefore if the board is in new condition we may agree to returns on purchases made outside the 14 days on a discretionary basis.
Returns Policy - Accessories & Other items
We provide a 14 day cooling off period if you want to return your product unused. The product must be returned in its original packaging and be in a condition suitable for resale.
Should you choose to return your new product, you will need to pay to return this to us. If there is a fault with the item, this will be dealt with under the warranty.
