We stand behind the quality of our products. Any product found to be faulty within the first 12 months following the date of purchase, will either be replaced, repaired or refunded and we will cover the costs of return, following evaluation by our Customer Services team. Faulty goods are classified as items that are received damaged or develop a manufacturing fault. Items damaged through general wear and tear are not classified as faulty. Returns are only accepted for items purchased directly from inov8.com with accompanying proof of purchase. This guarantee does not cover normal wear and tear, misuse or accidental damage and is conditional upon care instructions being followed.

To report a faulty product under this warranty please click here.
In brief
We give you 12 months peace of mind that our products will not develop a fault and if they do, we either provide you with a refund or replacement.
Normal wear and tear are defined as the wearing down of the sole or upper units of a shoe, while only wearing it for its intended use. Let's say you purchased one of our road shoes and you're a triathlete who logs over 70 miles per week. While most of our road models can get you as many as 600 miles or more during the life of the shoe, chances are, once you've hit that threshold, the shoes have undergone some substantial "wear and tear." This would fall outside of our 12 month warranty.
The GORE-TEX® Guarantee
The GORE-TEX® guarantee is for the lifetime of the product. Normal wear and tear or damage which has been inflicted on the product due to inappropriate use or incorrect care, are excluded from this guarantee. The product life cycle can be defined as anywhere from 6 months and up, depending on the use of the product. REMEMBER, if water makes it over the cuff of the shoe, GORE-TEX® is rendered useless. The membrane is designed to keep out moisture that falls below the top of your shoe. This does not affect your statutory rights. This warranty is provided and processed by GORE-TEX®.

You have several options for resolving disputes with us
Our Complaints Policy
Our Customer Service Team will do their best to resolve any problems you have with us or our products and you can make a compliant by using the following link enquiries@inov8.com.
Resolving disputes without going to court.
Alternative dispute resolution is an optional process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you're not satisfied with the outcome you can still go to court.
You can go to court.
These terms are governed by English law and wherever you live you can bring claims against us in the English courts. If you live in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring claims against us in the courts of the country you live in. We can claim against you in the courts of the country you live in.
In brief
We hope you never need to make a complaint or bring any action against us, but if you do, we want you to understand how to do so and we take all complaints very seriously.
Firstly, we hope we can resolve all complaints or issues without needing to take further action. In the extremely rare circumstance that you feel further action is needed we set out your options in terms of alternative dispute resolution (a legal process outside of court) as well as formal court action
Other important terms apply to our contract
We can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying your product.
We'll tell you in writing if this happens and we'll ensure that the transfer won't affect your rights under the contract.
You can only transfer your contract with us to someone else if we agree to this.
Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.
If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still apply.
If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later.
We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you're not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can't do it later.
Price Match Policy
We can price match most of our products sold on third party retailers’ websites, including discounts, but we are unfortunately not able to price match new season products that have been massively reduced by a retailer.
If you see the price of a product drop on our site or you see it cheaper with another retailer within 7 days of receiving your order, give us all the details, including link to the product, via the live chat, and one of the Consumer Care team will look into it and refund the difference if possible. If you let us know more than 7 days after the receipt of your order, we won't be able to match the price.
Exclusions apply, including, but not limited to daily deals, one off promotions and sale items on our third party retailers’ websites.
In brief
- We match against the current price of our retailer's product, so it is best to have details to hand before you contact us
- We only price match against websites from retailers based in the UK and USA, selling INOV8 products
- The product on our retailer's site needs to be exactly the same as the one you have purchased, including colour and size.
- The product must be available to order and pay for that same day, no pre-orders
- We don't price match against marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay, and will only price match against brand new products, sadly no seconds
