Warranty

Warranty Disclaimer

At Verus Kayaks we care about the quality of our products, and we know that every run down our favorite river wears down our kayaks. We want the purchase of your boat to be an investment in chasing water and gradient for the next FIVE YEARS. This is our plan for making sure paddlers get the most out of their boat.

 

Step One: Register Your Kayak!

To enter your boat into our warranty and hull replacement program, you will need to register your kayak. Please fill out the following form upon purchasing to make sure we’ve got you in the system!

Step Two: What is and is Not Covered by this Warranty

-Please note that you need your proof of purchase as the original owner to submit a warranty claim. Warranty terms begin from the date of purchase, with the exception of boats purchased as demos. The warranty terms for kayaks designated as ‘Demos’ begins from the date of manufacturing as indicated by your Hull Identification Number (HIN).  

-This warranty covers all Verus Kayaks whitewater boats produced in the USA beginning in the year of 2022.

-This warranty applies to US and Canadian purchases only. 

– The justification of your warranty claim must be authorized by Verus Kayaks.

-Warranty hulls will be located at ‘Warranty Centers’ across the country. Local pickup will be available. The customer will be responsible for paying shipping costs if they choose not to pick up warranty components locally.

-All hull and boat replacement options will not grant the customer a new warranty, but will transfer the warranty from your initial purchase 

-From the original purchase of a Verus kayak, the customer can receive up to three replacement hulls or boats during the five years of ownership after purchase. 

-Verus Kayaks does not guarantee that color options will be identical to the originally purchased boats
