WE BUILD OUR RODS TO BE FISHED. Sometimes things happen. Every Walton rod is backed by a 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. And because not every broken rod is a warranty issue, original owners also have access to our No-Hassle Rod Replacement Program. No complicated warranty charts. No arguing about how your rod broke. We just want to get you back on the water. --- 1-YEAR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY If your Walton rod fails within one year of purchase because of a defect in materials or workmanship, we'll repair or replace it at no charge. This warranty applies to the original purchaser, and proof of purchase may be required. Damage caused by accidents, misuse, normal wear and tear, improper care, modification, or other non-manufacturing causes isn't covered by the 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty. But that's where our No-Hassle Rod Replacement Program comes in. --- NO-HASSLE ROD REPLACEMENT Broke it fishing? Shut it in a truck door? Stepped on it? It doesn't matter how it happened. If you're the original purchaser of a Walton rod, you can replace your damaged rod through our No-Hassle Rod Replacement Program. If it' just a fly rod tip, we can often just mail you one of these for a flat $25, plus shipping. RCT SPINNING & CASTING RODS - $75 Replacement AVARI FLY RODS -$95 Replacement C9 FLY RODS - $125 Replacement Shipping is additional and is not included in the replacement fee. --- DISCONTINUED ROD? NO PROBLEM. We stand behind the rods we've built even after a particular model leaves our lineup. If your exact rod is discontinued or no longer available, we'll replace it with a comparable rod from our current lineup based on its original value and intended use per our no hassle rod replacement program pricing options listed. --- HOW IT WORKS 1. Submit your claim. Send us your contact information, rod model, proof of purchase if available, and clear photos showing the damage. 2. We'll review it. Photos will be enough for most claims. In some cases, Walton Rods may ask you to return the damaged rod. 3. We'll determine the solution. If it's a covered manufacturing defect within the first year, we'll repair or replace it at no charge. If the damage isn't covered by the manufacturer warranty—or you're outside the first year—you can use the No-Hassle Rod Replacement Program. 4. Get back on the water. Pay the applicable replacement fee plus shipping, and we'll get your replacement headed your way. --- A FEW SIMPLE RULES The 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty and No-Hassle Rod Replacement Program are available to the **original purchaser** and are non-transferable. Proof of purchase may be required. Replacement rods and exact models are subject to availability. When an identical rod isn't available, Walton Rods may substitute a current model of comparable value and intended use. Replacement rods remain eligible for the No-Hassle Rod Replacement Program at the **replacement fee in effect at the time of a future claim**. Walton Rods may require a damaged rod to be returned before approving or completing a claim. The program is designed to take care of anglers who use their equipment. Walton Rods reserves the right to deny fraudulent claims, intentional destruction, claims made for resale or commercial purposes, or repeated claims that we reasonably determine constitute abuse of the program. Replacement fees and program terms are subject to change. --- THAT'S IT. Manufacturing problem? We stand behind it. You broke it? We've still got your back. BUILT TO FISH.
