PREDATOR WARRANTY

Information on warranty is supplied on our website www.predatorcues.com, click on "client support" on the right upper corner and you shall find a page containing the detail of the limited warranty or lifetime warranty of our products.

Regarding claims on cracked points to cues 314-2 and Z-2, we acknowledge there have been a batch of pointers which have presented problems and these tended to break more than other. However, not all our 314-2 and Z-2 cues are defected. There are ohter reasons that make points break or crack. Some players use sandpaper, which causes the diametre of the cues to reduce, weakening it and making the cue to crack or disassemble (or separate lumps or cracks to appear).

Considering the above, it is very important for a pachometer to be used in order ot determine the minimum diameter when a client claims a point or cue is cracked. (We use a digital pachometer). This is why we require a fotograph of the cue to be measured. should the diameter of the cue be inferior to the minimum diameter listed on our website, the limited lifetime warranty shall not cover the damage. Please access the information on wodden cues in te graph below. The minimum diameters for cues 314-2 and Z-2 are highlighted in yellow. Please also note there are minium diameters and minimum thickness ofr Vantage, Z-3, 314-3, as indicated on the graph.

As the manufacturer of the highest qualitity billiard on the current, Predator products (Predator) is commited to the performance and durability of its products.

To protect its investment, Predator offers a limited lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects. Please note this warranty does not cover for problems resulting from wood deformation or abuse.

Terms:
Predator solely assures the buyer the original product for the time he/she possess it, the item must be free of material and labour defect under regular usage. This limited lifetime warranty is intransferable and does not apply to defects subsequent to:

(a) normal abrasion; (B) change, bad usage, abuse or inadequate maintenance; and/or (c) damage realted to exposure to extreme temperature or humidity.
This limited lifetime warranty is applicable to products purchased from retailers authorised by Predator. Predator cues manufactured for Uniloc and Radial® thread are guaranteed only when combined with original Uniloc and Radial® joints.

Maintenance Care:

Warps: The wood will absorb humidity in humid climate and release humidity in dry climate. So as to avoid deformation or problems related to cue finishing, the cues must be stored in an environment with stable temperature holding a humidity level between 45 and 50 per cent.

Abuse: Wodden cues are not designed to endure lateral pressure and must not be leaned or supported against a wall, dropped, excessively bent while playing, nor hit against the tables. The use of an appropriate case to protect the cues is recommended.

Diameter of the cue:

Changing the diameter of the cue to a lower one is not recommended. The diameter of the cues has been designed bearing in mind the necessary precision for the intended performance. Should you select a lower diameter, please be aware that any Predator cue with a lower diameter, or sandpapered below the acceptable limits shall imply the automatic cancelling of the warranty over the cue.

Replacement of the point:

If you wish to replace the point of your Predator 314-3, Z3, Vantage or Vantage 3C cue, do not remove the frey plaque (dark silencer point) under the tip, for that will reduce the strenghth of the cue and null the warranty. The silencer point must keep, at least, 0,010 "(0,25 milimetres) width so as to sustain the integrity of the cue. Is you need to replace the silencer point, reach client support or an authorized Predator repair centre.

Replacement of phenolic cue tips:

If you intend to replace the phenolic cue tip on a BK2 / BK3 or Air / Ar2 cue, do not remove the black carbon fiber point plaque under the brown phenolic tip, as that will result in the reduction of the strength of the cue and null the warranty. A 0,020" (0,5 mm) brown phenoli must always be kept before the replacement cue tip is glued.

Maintenance of the cue:

In order to clean the Predador cue, use a towel lightly moisted with alcohol. After the cleaning, use a leather or similar material cloth to seal the lumps on the cue. Use Carnuba wax to help seal the lumps on the cue and to protet it from humidity. So as to avoid damage, do nor use sandpaper or other abrasive material! No not expose the cue to excessive humidity. Important, do not use any waterbased cleaning product.

Original Uni-Loc Joints: We recommend the cleaning of Uni-Loc and Quick Release Original joints when you receive your cue and every six months. Those joints are manufactured for exact tolerance and even a small amount of dirt may cause a problem. A Q-tip soaked in isopropyl alcohol may be used to clean the thread on the inside and the puncture for cue insertion. Always clean the pin with alcohol and a clean cloth. We recommend the use of protection to help maintain the joint clean and protect it from damage.

Point:

Much of the performance of the cue may be placed upon the conception of the point and its composition. Due to the material in use to improve the performance of the point, scratches may appear from regular use. In this case, we recommend the sending of the cue to an authorized cleaning Predator repair centre. Removal or change of the point will null the warranty.

Cleaning of the Grips:

In case of leather and Uni-Loc grips, Leather LeaGrips, only moist a towel with water, clean the Grip and immediately dry it. Use isopropyl alcohol for Irish linen Grips.

Partial cues:

If the official Predator Logotype is not on the partial cue, the limited lifetime warranty is null.
