The warranty registration form should be completed online within 30 days of original purchase to be activated. It is suggested that you keep your sales receipt should it be required in the future for proof of purchase.
If you have a problem with your kayak and you suspect that it may be due to defective materials or workmanship, contact the nearest authorised Perception kayak dealer and arrange to have the problem inspected. Consumer is responsible for delivery to, and pickup from, the closest authorised dealer. If the authorised Perception dealer's inspection indicates a defect that is attributable to materials or workmanship, Gaybo Limited will repair or replace your Perception kayak free of charge at the company's option. Proof of purchase such as a sales receipt may be required. If repairs or evaluation are required by Perception at its manufacturing facility, the Consumer will be responsible for a £50.00 shipping and handling fee.
