UStrike Warranty
Limited One Year - 5,000 Line UStrike Warranty
Ebonite Bowling Center Direct UStrike Pins are warranted to be free from covered defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of purchase or for 5,000 lines of normal play, whichever occurs first. If a covered defect appears within one (1) year, with fewer than 5,000 lines of play, a Ebonite Bowling Center Direct Representative will, at its option after inspection, either repair or replace the pin with a comparable pin, provided that the pin, has been maintained in accordance with Ebonite Bowling Center Direct Pin instructions and has been returned for claim verification, within twelve (12) months of the original purchase (invoice) date, please call your Ebonite Bowling Center Direct Pin Representative for shipping instructions.
Repair or replacement is proprietor's sole remedy under this warranty. Replacement pins shall be warranted for 30 days or the remainder of the original warranty period, whichever is greater. In no case shall the Ebonite Bowling Center Direct representative be held liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages. This warranty extends to the purchaser/ first user only and is not transferable.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ANY AND OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Failures covered under the Ebonite Bowling Center Direct Pin Manufacturer’s warranty include, but are not limited to
1. Wood core separation and complete pin breakage
2. Glue joint failure
3. Insert fracture or falling out
Not covered by warranty are
1. Pin wear-out failures beyond 5,000 lines of normal play
2. Pins damaged by pin setting machinery
3. Pins damaged by sharp or broken pit end components
4. Paint
5. Pin damage resulting from water-soaked cores
6. Pins altered outside of USBC specifications
7. Pins subjected to repair or maintenance procedures or materials not recommended by Ebonite Bowling Center Direct Pin manufacturer.
8. Pins still in playing condition or pins that can be restored to playing condition by normal maintenance
9. Warranty claims received by a qualified Ebonite Bowling Center Direct Pin representative later than 13 months from the original purchase (Invoice) date
10. Freight for warranty claim pins returned to the factory
11. Hairline fractures, nicks, dents, belt burns
The life of a bowling pin is predominantly affected by five factors
1. The inherent strength of the wood core
2. The basic durability of the coating
3. Pin maintenance by the center
4. Maintenance of the pinsetter and pit end
5. The percentage of higher speed, heavy ball bowlers at a center
The first two are controlled by Ebonite Bowling Center Direct Pin manufacturer, and developed to a high degree to achieve optimum durability. However, hidden wood grain variability and infrequent manufacturing variances, not totally avoidable, will cause some early failures. The Ebonite Bowling Center Direct pin warranty covers only these early failures. The warranty DOES NOT cover normal wear - out beyond one year or 5,000 lines or center controlled variables affecting the life or performance of the product.
To request warranty service, contact your Ebonite Bowling Center Direct Sales Representative at 1-800-633-9025.

Exposing Wood Core to any liquid will void Manufacturer’s Warranties.
