Lifetime Warranty

All New Wave products have a lifetime warranty against manufacturing and material defects. Proof of purchase is required and is only applicable to the original owner of a new product, and is not transferable. It is not applicable to rental, used, or demonstration products.

Manufacturing and material defects covered under the lifetime warranty include seam tears, stitching failures and/or separations.
New Wave retains the right to determine whether damage is caused by normal wear and tear, non-manufacturing issues, accidents, misuse, improper care and/or negligence.

New Wave also retains the right to repair or replace valid and approved warranty claims at their discretion; refunds are not an option for approved warranty claims.

Examples of Damages Covered under New Wave Lifetime Warranty

• Seam tears or separations caused by manufacturing defects.

• Broken Belts caused from normal use
• Melting due to sun or heat exposure
• Damage caused by chlorine
• Failures due to overuse or normal wear and tear
