Warranty, Replacement, Cancellation & Refund Policy

•PRODUCT WARRANTY

We here at ANGLAR® always aim to provide unsurpassed and quality products to our customers. Every cricket bat of ours is first selected from the finest English Willow of relevant grade and then crafted into a bat. Wood is a natural product and sometimes few irregularities can be expected as a routine matter.

All warranty claims are thoroughly assessed by our team so that necessary steps are taken to help you in every way we can.

Warranty policies for our product range :

Cricket bat:

1 year manufacturer’s replacement warranty. Warranty only covers defects in the product from the manufacturing point of view. In case of a replacement of a product, the remaining warranty period on the existing product only will be carried onto the replacement bat. Should you believe a warranty claim to be necessary, the product must be returned to us for inspection.

In case of product replacement only the main product will be replaced. No add-ons or services will be given with replaced product. Any add-ons or services if opted, will attract additional charges.

Things that are not covered in the warranty-

Damage due to improper use, bad shots, poor timing, playing at edges, or playing a yorker at toes.
Poorly prepared (Oiled & Knocked) bats or bats with any modifications.
Damage that occurs due to extreme weather conditions i.e. extreme moisture or extreme heat.
Water-damaged bats i.e. by playing at damp pitches.
The damage done by the use of non-leather balls, bowling machine balls, or composite balls. Repetitive and excessive use of a bowling machine can severely decrease a bat’s lifespan. We recommend you be mindful of the amount of use your new bat receives from a bowling machine within its first 6 months of purchase.

Things that we cover in warranty-

Manufacturing fault in fixing the bat handle into the blade i.e. it is not fixed properly/firmly then we will replace the handle.
In case the handle of the bat breaks then we will replace the bat handle. Please note that for this warranty to be claimed please ensure that only the handle is broken and no other part (shoulder) is affected.
Storm damage or internal stress damage. This type of damage will be first verified by our experts before proceeding further. This type of damage is covered only for first six months for a bat from the date of purchase.

Storm damages usually get noticed in the initial stages(3-4 months) of using a bat. So all bat breakages are not storm damages and those breakages which are reported after six months of purchase will be considered a normal phenomena and unfit for warranty claim.

Please remember-

The look and appearance of the bat keeps on changing after every game and it is not supposed to remain new forever, rather it deteriorates over time. It is not a lifetime product; its life depends upon the frequency and proper way of usage. A small crack is a normal phenomenon and it does not undermine the performance of the bat. Cracking is not a sign of a faulty bat, but an indication that your bat requires further oiling & knocking in. Bats with cracks and other slight problems are to be repaired locally.

Protective Gears, Apparels & Luggage:

We warrant all our products to be free of defects in material or workmanship within a period of 30 days from the date of receiving the order. The life of any soft leather goods and apparels depends on their usage and care. It is advised to keep your gears as dry as possible and avoid rough use. The gears, apparels and luggage should be kept away from sharp objects on and off the field.

Things that are not covered in the warranty-

Damage due to accident or rough use.
Damages due to improper care or negligence.
Normal wear and tear due to regular usage.
Natural breakdown of colors and materials over time or due to extensive usage. Please note that wear & tear of branding details will not be considered as damage and are not covered by warranty.
In case of any colored leather used in palm area of gloves, the color may start to fade/bleed from it. This is a normal phenomena as it is not the natural color of the leather. These claims are also not valid for claiming warranty.
Wear and tear of branding details over time.
Damages due to improper washing techniques by not following washing instructions properly.

Things that we cover in warranty-

Any defect in the material of the product that is used.
Only manufacturing defects are covered i.e. defects in the workmanship of the product.

•PRODUCT REPLACEMENT

Customer satisfaction has always been our top priority ever since we started our journey. We always strive to give the best customer experience that we can and ensure that all the processes that involve our customers are seamless and quick. In case you feel that your product needs to be replaced then please ensure that all the following conditions are met.

Replacement policies for our products :

Cricket Bat, Protective Gears, Apparels & Luggage:

A product can be replaced only within 7 days of receiving the product. Customers need to provide us with valid reasons (reasons that are covered in the warranty section) before the replacement request is approved by our team.
Customized cricket bats, apparels, protection gears and luggage with deep customizations are non-replaceable. These products can only be replaced in case of any manufacturing defect from our side. However, you can always contact us regarding your issue and our team will help you out in the best possible way we can.
In customized cricket equipment, minor irregularities in given specifications can be expected as it is a totally handmade process. So small margin of error has to be given to the craftsmen. These small error margins will not be considered a valid reason for replacement and hence will not be entertained.
In the case of the customized cricket bat, in case the customer does not select any custom specifications then, the default specifications will be applied to their bat. The default specifications are- SH size, 4-piece cane handle, round handle, medium handle thickness, mid-low sweet spot and semi concave toe. So any claims against these will not be entertained.
If the customer wants some changes in the specs of the custom-made bat after placing the order, then he/she has to contact us through email or the contact number shown on the website. Please note that any request for a change in specs or order details can only be entertained by us after checking the status of the order. We completely reserve the right to decline the request of the customer in case the order is not fit to be modified or changed. The order modification confirmation will be notified to the customer through email/WhatsApp (In case no confirmation message from our side implies that the request has been declined).
The weight of a cricket bat can fluctuate depending on the weather conditions due to the hygroscopic nature of willow. So final weights may vary at the time of delivery.
The number of grains mentioned in various bat categories is tentative in nature and can vary depending on the cleft we receive. The mentioned number of grains is for sizes SH, LH, LB, LB LH only. Smaller sized bats may have fewer grains than what is mentioned.
The pickup and ping of a cricket bat is a very subjective topic and varies from person to person. Any issue raised by the customer regarding these will be checked by our experts before reaching any conclusion. We entirely reserve the right to accept or reject any replacement requests in these cases.
In case of partial knocking or full knocking of bats, minor cracks on the face, toe or edges of a bat are normal and will not be considered a valid reason for replacement. Please remember that the knocking process involves a significant number of hand knocks which may lead to some superficial cracks on the surface of the bat. These cracks are normal and are a sign of a good knocked-in bat.
All replacement claimed products will undergo quality check by our team. If the product does not pass the quality check then we shall ship it back to you.
Labels/stickers/tags are also to be kept on your product or the product will be ineligible for replacement.
Proof of purchase is required to be provided for any claim to be valid.
Any sign of usage of the product(s) will make the product(s) ineligible for replacement. The product is required to be kept new, unused, unaltered, untampered and in saleable condition for replacement.
A product can be replaced only once. We reserve the right to decline the replacement request in case we find any kind of policy abuse.
The replaced product will always be the same/or of the same specs as the original product. Any request for replacing the original product with a different kind of product will not be entertained.
All replacements are subject to stock availability. Please note that in case the product is out of production and is no longer in our product line up then in that case we will ship a similar product to the customer.
