CRICKET BAT WARRANTY & THINGS TO REMEMBER:

Bats are made of a natural material & have an incredibly hard task of hitting a solid Cricket Ball repeatedly. Cracks can occur during the Knocking-In process & do not necessarily resemble a fault/defect. Cracking may be an indication of insufficient Knocking-In, improper preparation/use, soft willow spots etc.

A small amount of cracking is normal & has no impact on the performance of the bat. The lifespan of a bat depends on the amount of use & care taken. Extratec & Toe Protection is highly recommended for enhanced life of the bat. Some bats may require more/less preparation than initially advised. Knocking-In time is a general guide & does not mean that once you have completed the hours that your bat is fully ready. Eg if Knocking-In has not been performed up to standards you could spend 30+ hours on your bat & it may still not be ready.

The price of a bat does not reflect the potential longevity of the willow. In fact, the more expensive bats are made of softer willow & though they can outperform cheaper bats, they may not last as long.

CRICKET BAT WARRANTY PROCESS:

Mani Sports needs to see your bat to arrange the correct course of action following a warranty claim. There is no standard remedy for a claim. Each claim will depend on the circumstances and is made on a case by case basis. A course of action may include a repair, replacement, refund or having the service performed again. All cricket bats sold by Mani Sports have a 6-month Warranty against damage deemed to be a manufacturing fault & no fault of the consumer, and will be replaced as per the below criteria:

  • Free (within 60 days).
  • $30 (between 60-120 days).
  • $60 (between 120-150 days).
  • $90 (between 150-180 days).

Most claims cannot be processed instantly.

THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:

  • Yorker damage to the toe of the bat
  • Damage that occurs due to lack of Knocking/Playing In, machine Knocking-In or inaccurate play.
  • Mani Sports doesn’t recommend that bats be Knocked/Played in by a machine. Machines often fail to either complete the process correctly, or damage the bats and put pressure on the shoulders which in turn cause damage.
  • Damage resulting by bats that have been machine prepared (not naturally Played In).
  • Damage that occurs due to poor preparation/maintenance (e.g. lack of toe guard, over/under oiling etc).
  • Damage due to moisture (wet weather) or heat (do not leave in car boot/direct sunlight etc).
  • Damage from non-leather or composite balls (including bowling machine balls).
  • Improper use (including hitting things others than cricket balls – eg stumps, stones, rocks etc).

Cricket Bat Warranty may be voided if the above guidelines are not adhered to. Bats with broken handles, cracks & other minor occurrences within the warranty guidelines will be sent back to the manufacturer for repair. It takes an average of 10-14 working days to assess/repair the occurrence in conjunction with the manufacturer. When making a warranty claim, proof of purchase needs to be supplied to Mani Sports by the customer (receipt/bank statement).

Mani Sports Credit notes are valid for 6 months from the date of issue. Mani Sports Credit notes cannot be exchanged for a different brand, denomination or type of Gift Card or for another tender or discount.
