2.  HOWEVER, the character of our sport (windsurfing and / or stand up paddle boarding) it often tempts us to sail and paddle in conditions which are beyond the limits of our own ability and control, these conditions can rapidly become somewhat overpowering and completely out of control. Furthermore, what appears to be just a simple fall, can put excessive pressure on individual parts of equipment and cause those items to suffer unreasonable stress for which they were neither supplied or designed to contend with. At this point, stress damage may occurred and not be visible or obvious. Nevertheless, the equipment may well have been unreasonably stressed beyond its limits and design brief and damage might have occurred within the structure of the item. This may lead to future equipment failure in ostensibly reasonable conditions!

3.  OVER USE: in certain circumstances, it is possible to considerably shorten the life of your windsurfing equipment buy excessive and or repetitive use and in doing so compress the reasonably expected lifetime of your equipment into a much shorter time period and if this is combined with a lack of a reasonably expected basic maintenance, this could sometimes occur within the warranty period. In these rare cases, your equipment may well have fulfilled its designed time line and the warranty cover for "normal use" would not apply.   

4.  Insure your equipment: If you do choose to sail in either overpowering conditions or give your equipment excessive and or repetitive use, we strongly recommend that you take out appropriate insurance cover as equipment warranties only cover for "Faulty Materials and or Manufacturing defects" for "Normal Use"; not damage or breakage due to over stressing, improper use, over use, lack of reasonable maintenance or being used with other unmatched equipment.

5.  Due to the nature of the sports involved, Blue Chip Windsurfing and Gun Sails UK cannot and does not imply or guarantee that such equipment cannot be broken in usage. Nevertheless, Blue Chip Windsurfing and Gun Sails UK will honour all warranties against faulty materials and manufacturing defects. It is the customers sole responsibility to decide if the equipment that he or she is choosing to purchase, is suitable for his or her style of sailing and sailing venue or to make clear the conditions and venues in which said equipment is intended to be used.

6.  Although some customers may claim that they prefer sailing in just these overpowering conditions, this is their own personal choice to do so and they must accept any consequential damage that often occurs as part of the risk of windsurfing in these conditions. If you do prefer sailing in overpowering conditions, we strongly advise Third Party and Accidental Damage Insurance to cover yourself and your equipment, details of some specialist insurance companies can be found on your invoice and on our news page on this web site.

7.  All Bags are warranted against material and manufacturing defects for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase.

If your bag is going to be un-used or stored for a period, we recommend that all zips with metal zip runners are flusher out and cleaned with fresh water dried and lubricated with a silicone based lubricant to avoid potential corrosion type of problems. We recommend you periodically use this service regime to enhance the longevity of your zips. Click here for full zip care and zip recovery information.
