Guarantee:

All of our cricket bats are guaranteed against premature breakage during reasonable use and care for a period of one cricket season from the time of purchase. Should you experience any problems at all, please let us know so that we can suggest an appropriate course of action. We always try to be very helpful and arrive at a fair decision.

Our Cricket Bat Guarantee and Warranty:

We at CK Sportz are proud of the quality of all our bats and will always replace or repair bats (in the warranty period – First Season) that have genuine faults in materials or craftsmanship.

Please note that manufacturers keep changing the shape, look and feel of their products now and then to use the best technology and get the best performance. So there is a slight chance that the product you receive does not match the exact picture shown on the website. We can not guarantee that you will get what you see on our website, but we guarantee that all our products are 100% genuine and directly sourced from the brand manufacturers.

We offer a fair usage warranty for one season with all of our bats, apart from those mentioned to the optional secondary drying process. This warranty covers all repairs required for the reasonable use of the Cricket bat. It is important to note that during a bat’s life, most damage is not due to a faulty bat but simply the nature of the impacts and forces involved in the game, especially during mishit and mistimed shots which are the fault of the batsman and NOT the bat. NO manufacturer will give a guarantee against damage or breakage of a cricket bat. Bats break in various ways for a whole variety of reasons & in our view, if the bat breaks due to a manufacturing fault (and not by misuse or neglect) and is irreparable, we will replace it from stock. We are not responsible for damage if you do not follow our preparation instructions or if the damage is a result of a mishit shot (an edge or blow on the toe) which is the batsman’s fault and NOT the bat’s. In these cases, we may be able to help repair the bat, but this may be chargeable, so please discuss any problems with us first.

Genuine faults; we will repair, where possible, or replace, where necessary, and as quickly as possible. The cost of the bat has no reflection of whether a bat cracks or not; all bats crack! The most expensive bats indeed hit the ball better because they are usually softer. Generally, costly bats are more likely to crack, dent or break than cheaper bats. Many people are far too quick to blame the bat when the fault lies with the batsman. The batsman should ensure that
he hits the ball 12-20 cm (5 to 8 inches) up from the bottom (toe) and the middle of the bat. Failing to follow this may result in damage, then the damage is not covered by any guarantee or warranty. The toe, edges and shoulders of the bat are not thick, and hence they are more prone to damage. Though the damage to these areas is not intentional, the customer should be held responsible for the damages. A small percentage of bats sold can crack under massive
stress when the ball hits the willow. You must take care when playing with your bat for the first time & you MUST ensure you have knocked in your bat, especially on the sides and on the bottom. Even if you buy a ready-to-play bat, you must prepare the bat before using it in its infancy (it is usual for a cricket bat to have many minor cracks in the face.)

Unfortunately, we receive bats back from customers who have mistreated their bat, and if the manufacturer finds this, they will return the bat to the customer untouched. If a damaged bat is sent to us and the manufacturer agrees that there is a fault with the bat, they will either fix or replace the bat. Returns can take up to 4 weeks to repair or replace. If you feel your bat has cracked or split and there is a flaw with the willow, please return it to us with a note explaining what happened. If the bat is over 12 months old, you will have little or no case for replacement. We aim to provide quality equipment at an affordable price with a sleek process to enhance your enjoyment. CK Sportz reserves the right to revoke the warranty if the bat is used unreasonably. CK Sportz also reserves the right to cancel the warranty status if labels were removed or chosen not to be applied. No cash refunds are offered to the customer & the postage costs relating to the returning of bats will be borne by the customer.

CK Sportz will not offer further price reductions on any products purchased already, and the price is reduced due to marketing promotion later.

Alternative / substitute items

Where it is discovered that a product you originally ordered is out of stock, we reserve the right to substitute said item to an equivalent offered from a different manufacturer.

Returns Policy

At CK Sportz, we try to offer the best service possible and understand that ordering cricket equipment over the internet can sometimes be difficult to judge sizes and colours.

We offer either an exchange (upon receipt of additional postage) or a refund of all goods purchased through CK Sportz (except cricket bats that have been knocked in or personalised with edging tape or a face fitted), provided they are returned to us in their original packaging and have not been used, within 14 days of delivery and that we have received written notification that a return is required.

We will always deduct our postage costs (including where an order has attracted free delivery) from any refunds relating to exchanges or refunds of none faulty; we are sorry that we cannot refund any postage or packaging costs and charges incurred by yourself on any such returns. You may also incur additional charges for any items which are exchanged.

For any overseas orders that are damaged in transit, you must cover the cost of return postage if requested to return the said item(s) to us. Please note you may also incur additional shipping charges on any replacement / repaired item(s) however, the decision to waive this charge is at our discretion.

Any order cancelled during the delivery period (within 14-18 days) will incur transaction cost + 10% deduction of the total sale value. These types of cancellations are generally attributed to a change of mind even before receiving and/or trying the product, and so we need to protect ourselves from getting penalised by the manufacturers/supplier.

Prompt Service/Shipping:

Our goal is to ensure that all of our customers are completely satisfied and so we always try for prompt service and shipping.
Stock orders are usually shipped within a week. By and large, all our bats are custom made, as we offer options of weight, sticker, grip, toe guard etc. to choose from before you place your order. However, heavily customised orders usually take 3-4 weeks turnaround time depending upon the exact requirement as there are multiple options for you to choose from like Grains, Shape, Handle, Profile thickness, Concaving/Convexing, length of Blade and/or Handle, initials or your name laser printed on the back of the bat. Having said that, sometimes this process is a bit quicker depending on the overall demand. If you have any such customised or personalised requirements, please update the note on the checkout page so that we can get in touch and explain the process and timeline.

Please feel free to stay in contact with us during this time to see how things are going. Shipping is by India Post and is traceable to most countries. Dispatch is confirmed via E-mail along with tracking details and confirmation of credit card charge if applicable. If you would like quicker shipping by DHL couriers please ask us for a quote. Parcel contents are insured against loss when sent to minimize the risk to the customer. We have so far had no problems, and if anything occurs, we make sure we are covered.

Import Tax & Duties:

For shipments, generally valued over a certain value you may be subjected to import duties/taxes which are levied upon importation to your country. Additional charges by customs must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country. If you are unsure of these, you should contact your local customs office for further information. Customs forms for all international packages list the value of your order’s contents. Generally, this is not a problem as the goods do not attract a high value. In case you are presented with any custom or import duty from Indian Customs or your local country’s duty officials, “CK Sportz” shall not be responsible for any kind of import duties; custom duties, import VAT, Forwarding/Clearance or any kind of local taxes levied on the equipment upon receipt of the shipment. In any such cases, buyers are solely responsible for paying these charges.
