Warranty Return

Topline Cricket Pty Ltd will always endeavour to process the customer’s warranty claim within a reasonable time in accordance with Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to, under the Law, seek a refund, exchange or credit if an item you purchased has a manufacturer’s fault. This is when the item purchased:

  • Does not fit the description
  • Develops a major fault during its warranty period (see below for warranty periods)
  • Is not fit for the purpose
  • Is unsafe
  • Is significantly different from the description or sample

 

CRICKET BAT WARRANTY & THINGS TO REMEMBER:

  • A cricket bat is not going to look new forever & cracks will appear.
  • 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 etc
  • A small amount of cracking is normal & has no impact on the performance of the bat. These can usually be sanded down & have been appearing on bats for centuries
  • The lifespan of a bat depends on the amount of use & care taken.
  • Added protection such as Extra Tec & Toe Protection is highly recommended for enhanced longevity
  • 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 ready. E.g. if your 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 will outperform cheaper bats, they may not last as long.

BAT WARRANTY PROCESS:

Topline Cricket Pty Ltd needs to see your bat to arrange the correct course of action following a warranty claim. Currently, there is no standard remedy for a claim. Each claim will depend on the circumstances & is taken on a case to case basis. A course of action may include a repair, replacement, refund or having the service performed again. TC will deal with any return of a bat purchased either from our Stores or Online. We will always assess your claim in adherence of the Australian Consumer Law. All cricket bats sold by TC have a 12-month warranty against damage deemed to be manufacturing fault & no fault of the consumer. Most claims cannot be remedied instantly.

THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:

  • Damage that occurs due to lack of Knocking/Playing In, or inaccurate play. Lack of knocking in may result in the bat cracking earlier than a knocked in bat.
  • 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 – e.g. stumps)
  • Bats will not be exchanged or refunded due to the handle breaking, edge, toe or surface cracking. This is not regarded as a fault of the bat other than the fact that it is the nature of the product and it will not alter the performance or quality of the bat. In these situations, the Bat will be repaired under warranty at no cost to the Customer.
  • Yorker damage to the toe of the bat

CRICKET HELMETS

  • All Cricket Helmets sold by Topline Cricket Pty Ltd will include a 6-month warranty.
