Warranty

The HO Sports Company LLC., product warranties and obligations set forth below are in lieu of any other express warranties or obligations of HO Sports, its distributors or retailers. The warranties and limitations extend only to the original purchaser or to the person for whom originally purchased.

Warranty claims are to be initiated by the dealer who holds the responsibility for selling the product to the consumer. Consumers must return the product to the dealer from whom they purchased the product to make a warranty claim. It is the sole discretion of a dealer to honor the manufacturer warranty for an item they have not sold to a consumer. Under no circumstance should a warranty claim be submitted without a Return Authorization number issued through a dealer. Consumers should not return product to HO Sports directly without first contacting our customer service team for an RMA at 1-800-938-4646 or by emailing us at HOCS@hosports.com. All shipping costs associated with returning the product to HO Sports will be the responsibility of the party making the warranty claim. Any unopened product, or product returned with no apparent defect will be subject to a 15% restocking fee.

HO Sports reserves the right to refuse warranty based on determination of defects caused by any other factor than manufacturer error. Packaged products (ski/binding or board/boot) will be considered as their individual components for the purpose of warranty consideration. Any product determined to have been taken over jumps, rails, ramps, and other hard objects will be void of any warranty. Products determined to have a manufacturers defect will be repaired if possible. Should a product be un-repairable, replacement is at the discretion of HO Sports Warranty Department and would be a product of equal or greater performance.

Under no circumstances should the product be waxed, painted or altered in any form. Clean only with soap and water, rinse thoroughly. Bright colors will fade when subjected to prolonged sunlight exposure. Fading is not covered under warranty; store your ski/board in a bag when not in use. Damage due to misuse, abuse or modification is excluded from warranty, as is normal wear, such as handle dings.
