QUALITY GUARANTEE INFORMATION:
Factory 13 guarantees all of our skateboards 100% from any defect that is caused by workmanship or material in a reasonable time frame. If the problem is from the user then we cannot cover it (example: leaving it out in the rain for a week or wanting to return a board 2 years old). Wood is a live product and does have properties that reflect that. We work together with our fellow skaters for the best product possible. This is not Wal-Mart and we are not millionaires, so if you are a crybaby or a jerk, do not order skateboards from us. Besides that, thank you to all skateboarders world wide for your continued support of Factory 13, a true skater run, independent skateboard company.
