Due to the nature of this product, there is no manufacturer or Smith Walbridge warranty against damage or breakage resulting from use. This is a ceremonial mace. Performance activities such as spinning, tossing, catching, dropping, striking the ground, or other performance-related use place significant stress on the mace and may cause damage or breakage. Damage resulting from these activities is not considered normal use and is not covered under warranty. By purchasing this product, you acknowledge and accept that all performance and non-ceremonial use is at your own risk. Neither the manufacturer nor Smith Walbridge will replace or repair maces damaged during use. Please inspect your mace upon delivery. Any manufacturing defects or shipping damage must be reported immediately upon receipt. Claims for defects reported after the product has been used cannot be accepted. DSI does not currently offer repair services for this product. Return Policy: Maces ordered with wrapping service are subject to a restocking fee and must have no signs of use.  Shipping: Fed ex and UPS have a high surcharge for mace boxes because they are classified as oversized. We provide a "flat rate" option as cost saving alternative, which will go via USPS priority mail. Maces going to residential addresses may require a signature upon delivery. Product Tips (please read before use): Chain: Chains are least likely to break when kept slightly loose. Maces arrive from the factory with very tight chains and they will break if not stretched. This can be accomplished through a few days of gentle use or by gently pulling them. The chain will continue to stretch indefinitely throughout the life of a mace. To tighten, use guard or electrical tape by the bolts on the top and bottom of the mace. Cords:  Cords will need to be re-wrapped every few months. They are a cloth material that absorbs sunscreen, sweat, and oil from hands. They need to be replaced periodically. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for cord wrapping instructional video.  Crown/Eagle:  Keep it snug, but not overly tight.  If it is too tight or loose it can strip the threads when the mace is dropped. Dome:  Domes very rarely dent when dropped on grass or astroturf. Hard surfaces can damage the dome and mace with a single drop. It is best to spin conservatively during parades (or not at all). Shaft:  The shaft of the mace is made of fiberglass and arrives from the factory stiff. It becomes more pliable with use. New maces need to be spun gently in their first few days of use.
