Customer's
responsibilies
Canoeing, kayaking and rafting are assumed risk activities. NERIS UK,
and other outlets run by Folding Kayaks UK, its employees, suppliers and sub
contractors cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage, injury or death
however caused.

Warranty
NERIS kayaks / replacement skins:-
There is a five (5) year warranty on all Neris kayaks, catarafts and replacement
skins. The warranty starts from the date of purchase by the original owner.
This warranty
is not transferable and does not apply to owner modifications.
On receipt of your order, you must fully check the delivery for defects ASAP
(ideally within a week after delivery) and provide a feedback report together
with supporting photos should any faults be found.
In the event of a manufacturing defect, the manufacturer will either repair
or replace, at its option, any defect, at no charge to the customer and return
the repaired or replaced part, postage paid, to the customer within a reasonable
period of time. Proof of purchase may be required. We will liaise with the
respective factory to have problem/s resolved etc.
Repairs required
due to improper use or care, negligence, product modification
or accident are not covered by the warranty, but will be performed
upon request. Return shipping costs to ourselves or to the respective
factory (EG NERIS - Ukraine) are the responsibility
of the purchaser.
Since kayak or catamaran is a very durable product and can withstand
many years of normal use, this warranty does not cover damage
from misuse, improper care, accidents or normal wear and tear.
The guarantee
may be reduced or canceled in the following cases:
- Commercial or military use (warranty is 1 year).
- Use of the boats in shallow water where sharp stones
and other underwater features can damage the skin and frame.
- Drag and drop boats on any dry surface.
- Towing kayak or catamaran behind a motorised boat.
- Damage that occurred whist sending products without a reliable packaging.
- Overloading the kayak or catamaran exceeding the recommended weight limit.
- Storage of kayak or catamaran whilst not fully-dried.
- Store kayak or catamaran, whilst not in actual use, in direct
sunlight over an extended period of time
If you have
any warranty issues or need repairs to your kayak or accessories,
please contact us by email together with supporting detailed
photos. Photos will speed up the resolution process.

Cancellation & Return
Policies

catarafts, replacement skins and accessories)
You must email us ASAP as we may dispatch well before the quoted delivery time.
Refund will be less 2% Cancellation Fee of the total order.
We may, under exceptional circumstances, waiver the Cancellation Fee (less
any PayPal / bank fees incurred) if the kayak ordered is a standard boat of
a popular colour. Higher value boats such as rafts may be waivered where sufficient

on the courier tracking system or as when collected).
If the kayak or replacement skin is NOT of a standard configuration
(EG specially custom made to order to your own specifications) and there is
a high probability that that kayak / replacement skin cannot be easily re-sold,
due to your chosen technical specifications / features / colour selections,
we cannot guarantee that we will accept that return.
