Article 13 – Special note on warranty regarding surfboards

Using a surfboard has high demands on the equipment, even small waves may occasionally create sufficient pressure to crease or even snap a surfboard. As surfers you have probably experienced this yourself or heard the stories from fellow surfers. Therefore, in general surfboards are not warranted, simply because of circumstances that are beyond our control. This includes, but is not limited to, breakage, creases, heat damage, broken fin boxes, dings, compressions or discoloration.

We are surfers ourselves and do understand how frustrating it is if a freshly bought stick snaps during one of your sessions. If this happens and you feel the breakage was in any way suspicious (see article 12.2) don’t hesitate to contact us.

Article 14 – Delivery and Execution

If the delivery is delayed or if a delivery cannot or partially be executed, the consumer is notified about this no later than 30 days after he placed the order. In that case the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement without any further cost and he is entitled to compensation.

Consumer or a pre-designated and an announced representative to the entrepreneur must visually check and inspect packaging and report any damage or deformation to the delivery person and make sure this person makes a note of this before accepting and signing for delivery.
