1. What this guarantee covers
Terra Nova Equipment Ltd (“Terra Nova”, “we”, “us”) guarantees that this product is free from defects in materials and workmanship. If a defect in materials or workmanship appears during the usable lifetime of the product, we will, at our discretion, repair the product free of charge or replace it. If the product is no longer available, we will replace it with the closest equivalent product from our current range.
This guarantee covers manufacturing and material defects only. It is not a promise that the product will last for any particular period of time, and it is not a guarantee of the durability of the product. All outdoor equipment has a finite usable life.
2. What “lifetime” means
“Lifetime” means the usable lifetime of the product itself, not the lifetime of the owner. The usable life of a product depends on how it is used, how often, and how well it is cared for. Fabrics, coatings and components degrade naturally over time through use and exposure, particularly to ultraviolet (UV) light, even with careful maintenance. Once a product has reached the end of its usable life through normal use and natural ageing, this guarantee no longer applies.
3. What this guarantee does not cover
- Normal wear and tear, including abrasion, fading and gradual loss of waterproof performance.
- Degradation of fabrics, coatings or components caused by UV exposure or natural ageing.
- Accidental damage, misuse, neglect, improper storage, or unauthorised modification or repair.
- Damage caused by failure to follow the care instructions supplied with the product.
- Damage caused by cleaning agents, detergents, solvents, waterproofing treatments or other aftercare products that are unsuitable for the product’s fabrics and coatings, or that are used other than in accordance with their instructions and our care instructions.
- Cosmetic marks or changes that do not affect the function of the product.
- Products purchased second-hand or from a supplier that is not Terra Nova or an authorised Terra Nova retail partner.
- Clearance and graded products, which are sold subject to their own stated terms.
Alloy poles: [retain existing accidental damage provision for alloy poles here as a stated exception].

8. General
This guarantee applies to products purchased anywhere in the world from Terra Nova or an authorised Terra Nova retail partner.
