Bulldog Gear - GHD Machine

Due to the huge range of products within our catalogue, not all of our products have the same warranty terms. However, it is worth noting that damage suffered to ANY ITEM arising from improper use, normal wear and tear, improper maintenance, unauthorised repairs, alteration, or negligence are not covered under any of our warranty terms.

Barbells

All Bulldog Gear - 15kg & 20kg Barbells are guaranteed for 1 Years against bending or breaking, this however does not extend to damage caused by unsuitable storage, negligence, accidents or normal expected wear and tear. Our Bulldog Gear warranty covers any manufacturing flaw and may be subject to return and inspection prior to a refund being issued.

Our Barbells are only to be used on suitable shock-absorbing gym flooring, which is 18mm thick as a minimum. If used on rubber flooring that is less than the specified minimum of 18mm your Barbell warranty will be deemed void. Stable matting, sprung floors, concrete, tarmac, carpet or flooring types that are not specifically designed for a gym environment are not classed as suitable flooring and will deem your warranty void. If you do not want to matt your space, Drop pads are a great alternative.

Barbells must be stored correctly in a non humid environment (not suitable for outdoor use) and must not be left loaded in the rack. Normal wear and tear does not fall under warranty, and failure to maintain barbells on a regular basis will invalidate the warranty. See how to maintain your Barbell here.

Do not drop the empty Barbell or with weight plates less than 5kg on any surface, this can damage the bearings and will vastly reduce the lifespan of your Barbell. If this is suspected to be the issue when a claim is raised you may not be successful in your claim.

Bumpers

Dropping 5KG bumper plates from any of our collections alone on the barbell repeatedly will damage the plates and will void the warranty, it will be clear to our customer service team if this is the case.

Bumper Plates will not be replaced under warranty if they are deemed to have been used incorrectly. Incorrect use includes, but is not limited to, dropping 5kg and 10kg plates from above hip height, dropping any sized plates onto unprotected flooring surfaces or unsuitable storage. Suitable flooring is either specified gym matting at a minimum of 18mm OR drop pads - any flooring that is not designed to be used in a gym environment is not deemed suitable, this includes stable matting other rubber, foam matts, yoga matts, concrete or carpet pads.

Kettlebells & Dumbbells

Your Kettlebell / Dumbbell warranty covers manufacturing faults and defects. It does not cover accidental damage, negligence or visual scratches or imperfections caused by the manufacturing process submitted more than a week post delivery / after use.

Flooring

The customer must notify Bulldog Gear of any obvious visual defects or damaged flooring prior to installation. Please note that some of our flooring may have white powder or residue left from the manufacturing process and agents to protect the rubber during transportation. These residues are easily removed with dish soap and warm water. We advise cleaning your flooring tiles both prior to and after installation. Upon delivery it is important to let your mats reach room temperature prior to installation to allow for contraction and expansion of the rubber. Rubber flooring can only be installed over a suitable base, concrete floors must be sealed to prevent powdering and cracking. It is essential that you check weight limits on you existing floor prior to installation, we do not advise installing over a non concrete base and Bulldog Gear are not liable for damage caused to unsuitable under-flooring. Bulldog Gear’s obligation under this warranty is limited to repair or replacement, subject to the warranty exclusions below. Bulldog Gear cannot accept any returns on flooring that has been cut in any way.

Warranty Exclusions: Bulldog Gear’s flooring warranty does not apply to damage occurring from improper installation, improper use of cleaning agents/materials, improper maintenance methods, products sold on a ‘seconds’/’sold as seen’ basis, damage to flooring due to high heels or spiked furniture, additional expenses associated with overtime, replacing or moving appliances or furniture, business interruptions, loss of use or other related costs associated with the replacement of the flooring.
