CLAIM TYPES

Damages
All damages claims received will be inspected and tested at the JGSA quality control facility (“QC facility”). Any claims that are as a result of a manufacturing defect will either be repaired, replaced or refunded in full. The decision to repair, replace or refund will be at the sole discretion of JGSA.

In assessing damages claims, please be aware of the following guidelines that may assist you in your decision to make a claim on JGSA. These examples would be rejected by the QC facility and it is therefore advisable that you do not return in the following situations:

• Excessively used or worn items
• Evidence of abuse (e.g. use of a ball on a tarred surface)
• Punctured bladders (e.g. evidence of a thorn in the bladder)
• Cut stitching
• Wash instructions have been ignored
• Negligence
• Use of a high pressure hose to inflate the ball
