Policy

Zamberlan shall make all warranty determinations and reserves the right to either replace, repair, or issue credit for valid warranty returns. All customers must attain a Warranty Return Authorization (WRA) number prior to shipping their boots to Zamberlan Canada, as no claims shall be accepted without a valid and registered WRA number. Any warranty claim received without authorization will be returned to the customer. Please understand that this step is vital to our ability to track and manage your package in our warehouse system. Zamberlan Canada requires that all warranty claims be physically submitted to the company without exception.
