The Warranty, Explained
A cautious Q&A list covering what the warranty typically includes, what it does not cover, and how claims are generally handled.
What does the warranty typically cover?
Luggage is covered under a Lifetime Warranty. Backpacks are covered under a Limited Two Year Warranty. Transatlantic watches are covered under a Lifetime Warranty. Accessories and electronics are covered under a Limited One Year Warranty.
Coverage extends to the original owner or the original recipient. Damage that affects how the item works is most often covered. Read the full terms.
What does the warranty typically not cover?
Damage from airline mishandling is not covered. File that claim with the airline as soon as you get the bag back.
The warranty does not transfer. It covers the original owner or the original recipient only.
Is airline damage covered?
Airline mishandling is not covered. If a checked bag comes back damaged, contact the airline first. The most common case is a bent metal frame around the shell.
If the bag is unusable and you have owned it for less than 12 months, Solgaard will send a replacement.
How do I start a warranty claim?
Register the product. The warranty number is the original order number.
For a manufacturing defect, email help@solgaard.co with a short description and a photo. If the damage happened on a flight, start with the airline.
What is the typical turnaround time?
