Limited Warranty

4. Assembly Acknowledgment

VSBELT is a modular system that YOU assemble. The finished belt is the result of how you build it, and correct assembly is your responsibility.

FASTENERS MUST BE TORQUED TO 5 IN-LB, WITH THREADLOCKER APPLIED BEFORE ASSEMBLY. OVER-TIGHTENING WILL CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE LINKS. This is a known failure mode of the system and the reason the torque figure is specified. Do not exceed 5 in-lb. Do not "snug it down" past the spec, and do not use a power driver.

Under-tightening is also unsafe: a fastener installed without threadlocker can back out under normal wear, and an attachment can separate from the belt without warning. Use threadlocker on every fastener, every time.

You agree to assemble the Products in accordance with the instructions we publish, to re-check fastener torque periodically, and to inspect links for cracks or other damage at every reassembly.

You agree not to cut, drill, grind, heat, bend, or otherwise modify the Products, and not to substitute fasteners other than those we supply or specify.

6. Limited One-Year Warranty

This is a LIMITED warranty. We warrant that the Products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship AS DELIVERED for 1 year from the date of delivery to the original purchaser. If a Product is defective as delivered, we will repair or replace it, or refund its purchase price, at our option. Proof of purchase is required.

What is not covered: normal wear and tear; cosmetic scuffs, scratches, and finish wear, including finish wear on links from contact with holsters, pouches, and clothing; fraying, fading, or stretching of webbing; worn hook-and-loop.

What is not covered: damage caused by assembly that does not follow our published instructions, including damage from exceeding 5 in-lb of fastener torque, from assembling without threadlocker, or from using a power driver. Links cracked or otherwise damaged by over-tightening are not a defect in materials or workmanship and are not covered.

What is not covered: damage caused by modification of a Product, by fasteners or components we did not supply or specify, or by third-party attachments. This exclusion is about the cause of the damage, not about whose brand is on the attachment — using third-party gear on a VSBELT does not, by itself, affect this warranty.

What is not covered: damage from accident, abuse, neglect, improper storage, exposure to solvents or chemicals, or use of the Products for climbing, fall arrest, towing, recovery, lifting, or as an anchor point. Put plainly: if it is used as a belt, it is covered. If it is used as a tool, it is not.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO 1 YEAR FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Products bought from a dealer or reseller are handled by that seller. Products bought directly from us are handled by us.
