DAVID NORWICH WARRANTY AND OPTIONAL WARRANTY INFORMATION.

I could source the materials and components from the Far East for David Norwich Rods and Blanks at much lower cost and much lower quality, and offer an unconditional lifetime guarantee as some manufacturers do. David Norwich Graphite Rods and Blanks are however exclusively manufactured individually one at a time to the customers order, in house- to the very highest standards, and use only the finest quality materials and craftsmanship throughout.

My prices reflect the true cost of manufacture and the value we place on our work. Rod prices do not reflect the hidden cost of an unconditional breakage warranty, which is often added into the price of inferior imported products.

Should you detect any fault in materials or workmanship on receipt of your Norwich EV series fly rod or blank, please return the rod and purchase receipt directly to me adequately packaged, and if possible in its original packing material for immediate attention.

This Statutory guarantee does not cover accidental damage, wear and tear, or breakage caused by accident either by the owner or others through attempted modifications, unauthorized repair, misuse or custom changes to a rod, theft or consequential loss.

Any such modifications or unauthorised repairs will render all warranties invalid.

______________________________

The original warranty will then be null and void and will not be carried forward to the replacement rod. This will only be covered by a statutory 12 months warranty.

The breakage warranty can be renewed and is available for the replacement rod for an additional fee of £35.00 for single Handed rods and £55.00 for all double handed rods. These fees are subject to change without prior notice.
