VK Sports Ltd. offers the following guidelines for the category of products that we offer:
Cricket Bats
All bats sold by VK Sports Ltd. will include a 12 month warranty.
Bats that have a manufacturer’s fault believed not to be caused by the Customer, and are unrepairable, will be exchanged, refunded or given store credit at the choice of the Customer.
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.
The price of the bat does not indicate the longevity of the bat. It is a known fact that the most expensive bats which are made of Grade 1 willow are soft in its nature as its quality and performance is superior. These bats by their nature can develop cracks earlier than the lower grade willow bats which by their nature are more dense.
There will be no warranty on bats that break due to the use of bowling machine balls. VK Sports Ltd. strictly recommends that bats should not be used to play against bowling machine balls.
There will be no warranty due to dampness & swelling in toe. Water & willow are not a good combination. VK Sports Ltd recommends the use of shoe goo or a rubber toe to help prevent damage.
VK Sports Ltd. recommends that added protection should be used when purchasing a new bat. An extratec or fibreglass sleeve, shoe goo or rubber toe for the bat will assist in the preservation of the bat.
VK Sports Ltd. recommends that all bats purchased must be knocked in. Lack of knocking in may result in the bat cracking earlier than a knocked in bat.

The warranty covers a split in the seam or the stitching.
