What is Covered?

If your Crumpler bag fails as a result of defective materials or workmanship under normal use while you: A) draw breath and B) remain the bag's owner, we'll repair or replace the part(s) in question.

Crumpler warrants to the original retail purchaser that the zippers, buckles, and bindings on our products will be free from defects in workmanship. All other components will be free from defects in workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the product. If one of our products fails during the warranty period due to a defect in material or workmanship, we will repair or replace the defective part.

Our warranty only covers Crumpler product purchased in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Iran, Fiji, India, Philippines, Japan, Brunei, USA and Canada.

What Is Not Covered?

Our warranty does not cover any damage that results from misuse or abuse of the product. It does not cover normal wear and tear or damages such as abrasion, scratches or fading. The warranty also does not cover incidental or consequential damages, such as damage to, or loss of, the contents of a bag, loss of use, loss of time, or similar expenses.

Luggage (Vis-A-Vis 68 & 54 Models) Warranty:
We know luggage has to withstand a lot, which is why we make ours tough. Our luggage has been tested for all kinds of impact, dropping, kicking, and pushing. For a crack to occur it has to be subjected to improper use or extraordinary impact and like your favourite sneakers, our luggage will scuff, dint and scratch as you use it.

Essentially we see it as unavoidable, and character building. And as we can't personally supervise each baggage handler, this kind of wear and tear is considered normal. Our warranty does not cover any luggage wear and tear caused by improper use;
- scratches
- dents
- scuffs
- cracks

It does not cover any Crumpler products purchased in Europe, Africa or South America.
