Extended Play™ Series Warranty

The Vater Extended Play™ Series is an extremely durable drumstick that has two distinct features; The rst feature is a pearl-colored, specially formulated durable nish that protects the tip and shoulder area of the stick from early chipping and cracking. The second feature is our exclusive 3 inch “Stick Shield™“ located in the rimshot area that is highly impact resistant and 8X stronger than Steel with maximum tensile strength. The grip area of the stick has the same great-feeling nish as found on all Vater Sticks. Extended Play™ sticks offer the optimal balance and feel of a Vater hickory stick, with advanced durability and resistance to rimshot fatigue and breakage.

If any pair of Vater Extended Play™ drumsticks breaks dueto wear in the 3” rimshot area protected by the Vater Stick Shield™, Vater will replace the pair of sticks, when a qualifying Guarantee claim is made. LIMITATION ON REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE CLAIMS: THERE IS A MAXIMUM OF THREE CLAIMS PER YEAR PER CONSUMER REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBERS OF PRODUCT PURCHASED.

Vater further warrants that our Extended Play™ Product will be repaired or replaced at no charge in case of possible aws in material or workmanship – except for damage from improper use or normal wear. The Guarantee and the Limited Warranty take effect as of the date of purchase. Vater may, at its option, refund the current market value of the Product at the time a Guarantee or Limited Warranty claim is made if it is unable to replace the Product.

This Guarantee and Limited Warranty applies to the original purchaser and is non-transferrable. Any person having purchased a Vater Extended Play™ Product from an authorized Vater retailer can make a claim by mailing the pair of drumsticks, including the broken stick, with the original packaging and the sales receipt as proof of purchase to: Vater Percussion Inc, 270 Centre Street Unit D, Holbrook MA 02343, along with a return address. This Guarantee and Limited Warranty is conditioned upon the return of the Product. Vater Percussion is not responsible for any Product lost or damaged during shipping. THIS GUARANTEE AND LIMITED WARRANTY IS VOID WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL SALES RECEIPT WHICH IS PROOF OF PURCHASE AND MUST BE PRESENTED TO MAKE A CLAIM UNDER THE GUARANTEE AND/OR LIMITED WARRANTY.
