- Process for Faulty Umbrella Returns
- Please take photos of the damaged area /s to show in as much detail as possible what has occurred. Send these images on email to admin@umbrellaworld.co.uk along with a description of the fault and how it occurred. These images are often then sent to manufacturers Head Office so that any faults can be monitored. They can also be used to establish if the fault is indeed due to a manufacturing issue or if the incident has occurred through general wear and tear / misuse or due to wind damage.
-
Please note - Manufacturer Faults are covered under the terms and conditions of the warranty. In cases of accidental damage, misuse or general wear and tear the item will be neither refunded or replaced. Please also note that wind damage does not constitute a faulty frame and hence damage due to wind will not be refunded as faulty.
- Please ensure you use caution when using your umbrella in the wind. Unless stated that an umbrella has been specifically manufactured and tested it is generally advised not to use your umbrella in windy conditions.
- As stated within Consumer Law products must be fit for purpose of use, it is therefore advised that umbrellas be fit for use and provide protection from rain but not wind. If you are in doubt as to the suitability of your chosen umbrella for the conditions in which you may choose to use it please do seek advise first - we are happy to help highlight a number of products that have been tested for wind durability as well as rain protection.
-
*IMPORTANT NOTICE* Parcel and contents must be checked for damage at point of delivery. If the box is visibly damaged on delivery then please ensure you sign for as damaged and notify us immediately.

- Windproof or Wind Resistant?
- Unfortunately we cannot control the weather! So we and the manufacturers of umbrellas advise that you use caution opening an umbrella in windy conditions and to avoid use in strong winds and gales. Due to this we cannot refund umbrellas broken by misuse in the wind, as faulty.
- We are happy to refund genuine faults that do not stand up to everyday conditions. Windproof and wind resistant frame does not mean it will not blow inside out, it refers to the frame used which means in the event that the wind blows the umbrella inside out, it can be reshaped and used in the same condition as previously. This type of frame is used to help prevent the ribs of an umbrella from breaking and hence allow the umbrella to be turned back and used without fault.
- Each individual umbrella manufacturer offers a different guarantee and for this to be validated may require registration, please check the label when you receive your item.
- Please Note that any purchase of goods from the site www.umbrellaworld.co.uk requires the customer to consult and accept the companies full terms and conditions as well as these terms of sale. The click validating the order implies full acceptance of these terms and represents the customer's "digital signature"
