30 Day Warranty
We get it: wood bats can break. To help protect your investment in a premium quality Berg Bat, we provide a one-time, 30-day warranty. It is effective from day of delivery for all of our bats except blemished BP bats. The warranty is applicable to purchases from our website and from our Colorado Springs based customers. There is no up-front cost and no registration is required.
IT’S QUICK & EASY: JUST SEND US PICTURES!
No need to send the bat in! All we require are three (3) very specific, high resolution*, digital photos of the bat:
Picture #1: Full bat from side of the break, with any handle tape removed.
Picture #2: Show from the left of the Berg Bat logo to just past the end of the barrel.
Picture #3: A close up of the break.
Email the 3 digital images to trevor@bergbat.com

*A high resolution digital photo can be zoomed in without the picture getting fuzzy. If using digital pictures taken by a phone, be sure to use “original” for picture size.
If the pictures are not of proper resolution, you may be required, at your expense, to send us the bat. We will inform you of such via email. It is rare that this happens.
A Berg Bat representative will review your submission within 2 business days. If the claim is deemed valid, a new bat will be handcrafted and shipped 4 business days after we inform you of claim status. A $25.00 claims processing fee is assessed to all accepted warranty claims, unless we determine it to be a pre-existing manufacturing issue. This will be send via invoice to your email. Payable by credit card, the fee is due prior to shipping of the replacement bat.
When there is any reason for us to suspect it was a manufacturing issue (typically, a flaw in the wood, undetectable until the bat is used), we err on the side of the customer and replace the bat, including shipping*, at no cost. While such flaws are rare, it does happen.
The bat provided will be of the same specifications and engraving as the bat for which the claim has been made. To protect against program abuse, the replacement bat does not include a 30-day warranty.
*Shipment of the replacement bat will be sent via UPS ground. Expedited shipping of the warrantied bat back is available for an additional fee.
Sadly, we have to protect against unscrupulous people. It happens. With that, there are just four ways the warranty becomes void. If the purchaser has used the bat or training device:
- with any ball heavier than a commonly accepted game ball or one that is not secured together with string stitching (ex. rubber balls).
- to hit balls at speeds greater than appropriate for the age of the user.
- in a manner to purposefully break it.
- as a team or shared bat, utilized by more than one person.
Ball markings and the break signature allow us, with the highest degree of confidence, to assess why the bat broke. We are not looking for excuses to deny a claim. We are only looking for those who try to abuse the program.
To that end, Berg Bat also reserves the right to deny a warranty claim to associated parties who have submitted 3 or more claims in a calendar year.
Clearance bats, Batting Practice Bats, and Training Bats (if used in an unorthodox way) are not covered under warranty.
