Unless otherwise specified in the product's technical datasheet, the warranty period is two (2) years.

In the event of an issue, the customer can submit a complaint by completing the dedicated form on the website, selecting "Complaint" and attaching the required documentation (description, photos, proof of purchase).

The customer is required to inspect the products upon delivery and report any anomalies within two months from the date they were discovered.

The warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, incorrect installation, normal wear and tear, or modifications to the product.

IMPORTANT: This warranty is valid only when the product is used correctly and in accordance with the provided instructions. Installation requirements may vary depending on the type of ground, anchoring points, local wind conditions, etc.

This warranty ensures that newly manufactured products (sails, poles, wall mounts, and base plates) meet the specifications listed in the product description at the time of delivery. A defect is present only when the quality or usability of the product is significantly impaired.

This warranty excludes damage or defects caused by improper use or failure to follow installation and usage instructions. Normal wear is not covered. Additionally, altered or repaired products, or those no longer in their original state at the time of sale, are not eligible for coverage.

We invite you to consult the warranty exclusions listed below, which specify product features that do not constitute defects and the installation conditions that must be met for the warranty to remain valid.

If the claim is justified, Maanta by Bega Srl will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace the product within a reasonable timeframe.

Damage caused by direct heat, sparks, or embers from open flames.

d. Aesthetic aspects, wear and natural material behaviour:

Normal wear due to exposure to sunlight, weather, and prolonged use.
Surface scratches, fading, superficial corrosion of metal or textile parts that do not compromise functionality.
Creases, ripples, micro-holes, friction marks, or aesthetic changes that do not affect product performance.

If liability for breach of warranty or condition by Maanta by Bega Srl or any other liability imposed by law cannot be excluded but can be limited, Maanta by Bega Srl's liability is limited to the extent permitted by law, and where liability can be limited in more than one way, Maanta by Bega Srl will choose, at its sole discretion, one of the permitted methods.

Please Note

The colours of our fabrics may vary from screen to screen.

The dimensions of the sails may vary from those specified. Sails are measured from ring to ring and, unless otherwise stated, are concave in shape (curved inward). It is important that the sail is installed correctly and well-tensioned: any size differences should not be a concern, as good tensioning is essential to ensure both functionality and aesthetics.

3.2 Safety Warnings and Installation Instructions

Shade sails must be securely installed and evenly tensioned to reduce wind impact on the fabric.
Loose or slack fabrics can cause premature damage due to mechanical wear.
Soft or slack fabric may lead to malfunctions that result in future damage.
These types of damage are not caused by UV rays and are not covered by the warranty.
Regular maintenance is essential to keep the fabric properly tensioned.

Although all Maanta by Bega Srl structures are tested to withstand weather conditions, we do not recommend or guarantee the use of sails in wind conditions exceeding the specified limits (see technical datasheet).
The warranty is valid only if the product is correctly anchored to a suitable system.

We do not cover damage caused by contact with the ground, external objects, extreme weather events, or other force majeure events.

We strongly recommend removing the sails when not in use.

The warranty only covers safe, reasonable, and guideline-compliant use.

Fastening systems must be chosen based on the type of masonry and installed accurately and securely.

Maanta by Bega Srl products must be used with attention to weather conditions. In windy conditions, particular care must be taken.
We do not recommend or guarantee the use of sails in strong winds or beyond the specified limits.
The sail must be taken down when left unattended.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by:

wind
fire
theft
vandalism
misuse

3.3 Factors to Consider Before Installation

Space and dimensions for anchoring
Size and shape of the sail
Strength of existing structures
Sun direction and angle
Possibility of using mounting poles
Distance from barbecues, ovens, electrical/telephone wires, irrigation systems, plants, etc.

Other specific situations may arise depending on the installation context.
Sails should not be left to move freely, to avoid fabric damage.
They should also not be used for walking, as hammocks or trampolines, or in any other way different from the intended purpose of providing sun or rain protection.
Maanta by Bega Srl sails are designed to offer UV protection and comfort in domestic environments.
A properly tensioned and anchored sail is essential for the safety and durability of the structure.
Check regularly. Exposure to chemicals such as chlorine can damage the fabric.
Before using chemicals nearby, contact Maanta by Bega Srl’s technical support.
Do not light fires under or near the sail.
Temporarily remove the sail in case of storms, strong winds, or snow.
Sails must always be removed if they cannot be protected from sudden storms.
Because wind speed can vary and gusts can be very strong, it is always advisable to remove waterproof sails.
The warranty is valid only if the user does not modify the tensioning systems or any components.
The customer is responsible for the design, permits, engineering, and/or construction of the installation.
Any damage caused by improper installation (including but not limited to: engineering errors, missing permits, defective construction, inadequate materials, etc.) is excluded from the warranty.
