Warranty

All products purchased through our website are provided with a limited two-year manufacturer’s warranty. This warranty is limited to defects arising as a result of the manufacturing process of the relevant product.

Products are made to be used and often in demanding environments. The limited warranty does not include:

·         general wear and tear;

·         cosmetic damage;

·         any failure to maintain the products as indicated by any accompanying information contained within the original packaging or at https://www.scarpa.co.uk/blogs/blog/scarpa-boot-care-guide (as updated from time to time); and/or 

any repairs which have not been carried out, or authorised, by us in writing.

If you would like to make a warranty claim, please complete the warranty claim form at [https://www.scarpa.co.uk/pages/warranty] and include all relevant information (with photographic evidence where appropriate) within the form.

Should your warranty claim request be approved, you may be asked to return the products(s) to us. Please return your items in the original packaging if possible; if you no longer have this, please ensure the goods are securely packaged to avoid damage during transit.

On receiving your item, we will complete an inspection of the product to ensure the fault is as represented within the warranty claim form. In the case where the warranty claim is approved, we will either repair the fault or issue you with a replacement product. If we are unable to repair or replace the product and the product was purchased from scarpa.co.uk, a refund will be processed to the original method of payment. Please note it can take up to 5 days for funds to be processed and show in your bank account, depending on your bank or card issuer.

In the case where the warranty claim is denied, the item will be returned to you.

Products which are older than two years from date of purchase will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Products can vary slightly from their pictures

A product's true colour may not exactly match that shown on your device or its packaging may be slightly different.

Prices may vary

Prices on www.scarpa.co.uk may vary on occasions from those found in retail stores.

What are our delivery time frames and charges?

From receipt of your order we will endeavour to process and ship products as quickly as possible. Our estimated turnaround time for delivery is two to five working days.

Your expected delivery timescale and charges will be confirmed at checkout when placing your order, depending on the delivery method chosen. If multiple items are ordered, we may split these items into separate parcels, and you may receive these at different times. We only do this to prevent higher delivery costs for the dimension and/or weight of the parcel, or if one or more items in your order are ready to be packed and shipped to you before another item in your order.  

The maximum period of delivery would be within 7 days, unless specifically agreed with you prior to placing the order. In the event we are unable to supply your goods within 7 days, we will inform you and advise you of the expected delivery date.

We're not responsible for delays outside our control

If our supply of your product is delayed by an event outside our control, such as stock shortages or delays, we contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay. As long as we do this, we won't compensate you for the delay, but if the delay is likely to be substantial you can contact our Customer Service Team: info@mountainboot.co.uk to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for, but not received.

We do not accept any liability or responsibility for delays caused by our delivery partners.

How do you return products to us?

Goods can be returned for a full refund (including the delivery charge) if they are faulty or if the wrong item has been dispatched. In this event, please contact info@mountainboot.co.uk who will arrange the return.

If the goods have been dispatched as ordered, they can be returned for a refund simply by logging onto our customer returns portal at https://our-returns.dpd.co.uk/SCARPA. All returns must be organised within 60 days of receiving your order. Items must be unused, still have their original packaging and labelling. The card used for the purchase will be credited with the original purchase amount (less any delivery charge paid where appropriate.)

We reserve the right to return any item's that have been returned to us, for a refund, that are not in a re-saleable condition (i.e. they clearly have been worn or used).

Nothing in these conditions affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Returns when using Klarna

If you return an order paid for using Klarna or PayPal, we will inform the relevant credit provider of your return for you.  

We reduce your refund if you have used or damaged a product

If you handle the product in a way which would not be acceptable in-store, we reduce your refund, to compensate us for its reduced value. For example, we reduce your refund if the product's condition is not "as new", price tags have been removed, the product-branded packaging is damaged, or accessories are missing. In some cases, because of the way you have treated the product, no refund may be due.

When and how we refund you

If you tell us you've changed your mind about a product that hasn't been delivered or one that we're collecting from you, we refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days. If you're sending your product back to us, we refund you within 14 days of receiving it (or receiving evidence you've sent it to us). We refund you by the method you used for payment. We don't charge a fee for the refund.
