WARRANTY POLICY
Leki is committed to the quality and craftsmanship of our products. Our warranty policy covers any material or manufacturing defects, in accordance with the South African Consumer Protection Act. However, it’s important for our customers to understand that the warranty does not cover normal wear and tear. We do, however, include a 3-month all breakages repair to cover accidental damage, or breakages occurring whilst on your outdoor pursuits.
Please register your new poles within 30 days of purchase to qualify for our 3 month free repair benefit.
What's Covered?
Our warranty covers material and manufacturing defects that are present at the time of the original purchase from Leki or an authorized Leki dealer within South Africa. The warranty applies to the original owner and is non-transferable. If your pole is faulty or not working as it should, please let our service team know immediately.
What's Not Covered?
Our warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or misuse of the product, falling outside of the 3-month All Breakages Policy. Leki products are designed to be durable and hard-wearing, but they are not indestructible. Poles, particularly those made of carbon fiber, can break due to improper usage, such as a bad landing, or if used incorrectly or for an activity they were not intended for. Our poles are designed for specific uses (e.g., trail running, hiking, run & hike, or Nordic walking), and using the right pole for the right activity will ensure they perform as they should. Customers are responsible for understanding how to use their poles properly. If you have any queries about correct pole technique or usage, we strongly encourage you to contact one of our consultants in advance. Improper use can lead to breakages, for which Leki Poles is not liable under this warranty. Please familiarise yourself with our product care suggestions.
3-Month All Breakages Policy
Our new 3-Month All Breakages Warranty covers any breakages occurring within 3 months from the date of purchase, including those from usage or trail running activities, which are common in mountain sports and with carbon poles. During this period, we offer free repairs, including part replacements that previously incurred charges. After 3 months, our standard repair policy will apply.
Please register your new purchase within 30 days of purchase to qualify.
Exclusions of the 3-month all breakages warranty
While our 3-Month All Breakages Warranty is comprehensive, it does not cover poles that have been customized, modified, or repaired by unauthorized service providers. Damage from improper use or neglect, environmental factors such as extreme heat, moisture, color fading, or chemicals, and normal wear and tear like surface scratches and scuffs are also excluded from this warranty.

Product Care
To ensure the longevity and optimum performance of your Leki Poles, regular product care is essential, especially after a race or heavy use. Debris, dust, sand, and mud can accumulate during use, potentially affecting the durability and function of your poles. To properly care for your Leki Poles please visit our Product Care Section.
This product care guide is meant to complement our warranty policy. It does not replace the warranty but reinforces the fact that the lifespan and performance of your Leki Poles are significantly influenced by how well you care for them.
As always, if you have any queries about product care, or if you notice any potential issues, please don’t hesitate to contact one of our consultants for guidance. We’re here to help you make the most of your outdoor adventures with Leki Poles.
