Warranty Policy - Tropicfeel.com

Our Promise

Tropicfeel is committed to your satisfaction. Purchases made from 2022 have a 3-year warranty from the date of purchase which covers defects in materials, manufacturing, and components.
Any purchases made before 2022, have a 2 year warranty. 

Warranty Overview

The products eligible for the warranty are covered to the original owner for 3 years since the date of purchases from 2022 from our e-commerce platform tropicfeel.com* . 
Any purchases made before 2022, have a 2 year warranty. 

The legal guarantee covers defects that are presumed to exist at the time of delivery and that manifest themselves within a period of two years. However, any breakdown that occurs within 6 months will be presumed to exist at the time of delivery. Tropicfeel undertakes to repair, or replace the defective product.
After 6 months, Tropicfeel will ask you to prove that the quality defect existed when the product was delivered. 

For Tropicfeel to accept that in fact there is a quality defect, you must prove that:

(i) the product does not match the product description, 

(ii) it has different characteristics than the model advertised or shown to the customer, 

(iii) not fit for purpose, 

(iv) not showing normal quality and performance for products of the same type, and 

(v) not manufactured properly.

This warranty does not cover any of the following situations:

a) Defects and damage due to loss, theft, fire, water, or natural disasters.

b) Malfunction or damage caused by unsuitable use or carelessness (knocks, crushing, denting, breaking of the glass, etc.) or accidents.

c) Defects and damage due to normal wear and tear ((e.g. holes after 6 months).

d) Consumable material (components that are expected to require periodic changes during the product's life).

We do not offer more than 1 claim per product.

Warranty Coverage

We concentrate on manufacturing-related defects to ensure superior product quality.
Our warranty policy does not cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage, malfunction or damage caused by unsuitable use or carelessness, consumable material, and defects due to loss, fire, water or natural disasters, cosmetic blemishes, scratches, stains, or wear & tear. Failures or breakages due to misuse (such as transportation of unusual items), neglect, intentional damage, extreme temperatures, acids, water, UV degradation, improper care, etc, 

There are a few factors that determine the end of “product life”, including the following:

(1) Fabric—if the fabric is discolored, degraded, de-laminated or deteriorated, we may determine this to be end of “product life”’;

(2) If a major component fails due to extended use (such as a handle, wheel or zipper) we may deem the product to have met its full life cycle

What does a material, component, and workmanship defect mean?

Materials and components refer to buckles, fidlocks and fabrics, etc. Workmanship refers to seams and construction.

How will they cover it?

For all our products you will receive a new product. 
With the backpacks, we will either repair or replace the product with gear in the same or better condition. 
Customers may receive a pre-owned replacement that has been inspected and cleared to be fully functional.
