LIMITED 90 DAY WARRANTY OVERVIEW

Signature is family owned and run by people who use the products we make. The gear we produce is made to the highest quality standards and is thoroughly tested before being added to our product range. However, having spent the last few decades working in this industry, we know that there is often times room for improvement, and also (unfortunately) room for user error.

In addition, the nature of the activities inherent in the sports that our performance products are used for, means that the products are sometimes used in unconventional ways (which may be quite exciting & cool), but which we could not have anticipated.

In light of these realities; our Warranty Policy provides both limited protection to you, our valued Customer & partner in fun, but also to the Manufacturer. Our Warranty Terms are explained in detail under Limited Warranty Terms:

* PLEASE ENSURE THAT PRODUCT HAS BEEN REGISTERED UPON PURCHASE – ONLY AUTHENTIC SPG PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN PURCHASED FROM AN APPROVED DISTRIBUTOR / DEALERSHIP + REGISTERED WILL HAVE WARRANTY COVERAGE.

LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS

• 4) Damage or defects caused by non recreational use, rental centers and lessons.
• 5) Damage or defects caused by exposure to excessive sunlight (even 15 minutes in direct sunlight  can cause de-lamination) ,  temperatures over 40 and under 0 degrees Celsius. Most products are epoxy or carbon and need to be kept out of cars and direct sunlight.

• 8) Damage or defects caused by repairs.

• 11) Damage or defects caused by wear and tear.
• 12) Damage caused from taking products from hot temperature into cooler waters.

•   SIGNATURE PERFORMANCE FOILS
• 13)  Loss or damage to Foils or broken foil boxes on boards due to heavier riders  – Suggested maximum weight for foils is 90kg / 198Lbs – riders of greater weight do so on own accord.
• 14) Damage to foils and parts from launching / exiting the water. This is where most damage can incur, so be sure to exercise correct procedures.
• 15) Damage to foils from incorrect set up- please see videos HOW-TO assemble.
• 16) Damage to foils or parts from  from use in reef areas or areas with shallow obstructions – please be aware that carbon/ epoxy products could be damaged if it comes into contact with a reef or rocky area.
• 17) Surf damage is not considered a manufacturing defect. At all costs avoid bailing your board  in front of waves or sets as this is where foils will take the most abuse and is not covered under  warranty policy.
• 18) Repair or replacement of any product under this Limited Warranty is not available for ordinary wear and tear, including scratches or paint chipping / “spider cracks”
• 19) Paint chipping – or better known as “SPIDER CRACKS” is caused by overload in a critical point, usually around the fuselage. This can be normal especially with larger wings or heavier riders and / or riders using SUP boards (especially heavier SUP boards) and in the ocean where waves break on a foil.
• 20) Damage caused from taking foil from hot temperature into cooler waters. Foils are produced from carbon composites and taking a foil directly from heat into cooler water can cause a chemical reaction resulting in delam or splitting of seams due to excess gas needing to escape. Suggest to keep the foil covers on, with reflective side up to reflect the heat until going into water.

WARRANTY NOTE relating to – “Wingsurfing”

INFLATABLE WINGSURFING NOTE- BOARDS + FOILS

• SPG carbon performance Foils + foil boxes in surf / SUP/ Wing foil boards, ARE NOT covered for use while wingsurfing.
• This is due to the nature of incorrect use:  foiling into obstacles, sand bars or reefs, added pressure loads or incorrect landings when jumping. (Landing flat can cause overload on wings causing stress or even broken parts)

WARRANTY NOTE – ALBATROSS FOILS

• Albatross range of wings are hi aspect wings created especially for flat-water pumping, racing and down-winding. Not to be used in the surf or for wingsurf jumping.
• Warranty does not cover Albatross wings used in the surf or wingsurf jumping (For jumping we suggest the Stealth or small Game Changer GC Ranges – DO NOT jump the larger GC 300 wings as this could result in cracked foil boxes or damage to foil & parts) .
