Barbell Standard Warranty Coverage

Every product we sell is covered against defects in material and workmanship. This page gives the term for each product, what the term covers, and what it does not. If a covered product fails inside its term, we repair it, send you the replacement part, replace the product, or refund it.

Damage or loss in transit is not a warranty matter. Email us with a photo and we will replace the item at no cost to you. Missing hardware is also not a warranty claim, so email us and we will send the part.

Weight Plates

Iron Weight Plates

Covered:

  • Cracks or fractures in the casting
  • Casting voids that break the surface

  • Powder coat that peels, flakes or blisters away from the iron

Not covered:

  • Surface rust
  • Scuffs and chips from plate-on-plate contact

Bumper Plates

Bumper plates: 3-year warranty on the 25lb and 45lb plates. 6 month warranty on the 10lb plates. Home and commercial use are both covered.

Covered:

  • The rubber separating from the steel insert
  • The insert loosening or spinning in the disc
  • Cracks or splits through the rubber

Loading iron plates alongside bumper plates voids this warranty. The smaller diameter of an iron plate means the bumper absorbs the full impact.

Terms and Claims

General Terms

  • These warranties cover the original purchaser only, for as long as you own the product, and cannot be transferred.
  • Where a product carries a lifetime warranty, that coverage ends when the product becomes unusable for a reason other than a defect in material or workmanship.
  • Normal wear is not a defect. Chalk marks, scuffs from plate contact, knurl polishing and finish dulling all come from using the equipment.
  • Surface rust is not covered. Iron and steel rust in humid rooms. Wipe equipment down after use and keep a light coat of oil on bare steel.
  • We do not cover damage from negligent use, storage, handling or maintenance. Abusive dropping of a bar, such as repeated dropping onto concrete, is the common example. We review every claim individually.
  • A product that has been modified, altered or repaired by anyone other than us is no longer covered.
  • We cannot guarantee that our equipment works with equipment made by other companies, and damage caused by that combination is not covered. Send us the measurements before you buy and we will tell you what we know.
  • Unless a product says otherwise above, these terms assume home use. Email us before buying for a commercial facility and we will tell you what we cover.

How to File a Claim
