Product Warranty

Summits is a retail store dealing with reputable, quality brands who have excellent after-sales and customer service. However, before you use a product purchased from ourselves we would like to cover some key details and warranty issues:

Clothing and Footwear:

To begin with, all the clothing and footwear is covered by each individual company's warranty. We would advise clicking on the Brand Name that you have bought (or are thinking of buying) for comprehensive details: The North Face, Rab, Mountain Equipment, Sprayway, Berghaus, Keen, Asolo and Animal.

Camping Equipment:

Camping equipment warranties are even more comprehensive depending on the item purchased. Vango, for example, offer up to a 3-year warranty with most of their products. Please make sure you understand each manufacturers warranty (Some items require registration with the company) Please check the following links: Vango, Wild Country, Force Ten, Terra Nova, Vaude.

NOTE - Most companies do not cover tent poles under their warranty, stating:

As a guide, the following damage is not covered under warranty: TENTS Any tent pole breakages, these are treated as fair wear and tear, Collateral damage from a pole breakage.

The reason for this important exclusion is that most breakages are caused by customer error. Poles are easily damaged when sections are not fully located together. Please thoroughly check that when you are erecting your tent to make sure each pole section is fully located and there is no sign of any damage before being used.

Summits understand that occasionally a manufacturing fault could be to blame. Please contact us if you have any issues as we are here to help.
