Overseas Bowling Ball Warranty
We stand behind every overseas bowling ball we sell.
This warranty is provided exclusively by Bowlers Asylum and is not administered by any manufacturer or its U.S. distributors.
All overseas bowling balls purchased directly from Bowlers Asylum are covered by a one (1) year limited warranty from the original date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship.
Warranty Claim Requirements
To submit a warranty claim, you must provide:
- A copy of your original purchase receipt or order confirmation from Bowlers Asylum
- Clear photographs showing:
- The complete serial number on the bowling ball.
- All logos and engravings.
- The drilled gripping holes.
- The area of the damage or defect.
- Any additional photographs requested by Bowlers Asylum to assist in the warranty evaluation.
Incomplete submissions may delay the warranty process or result in denial of the warranty claim.
Warranty Coverage
This limited warranty applies only to manufacturing defects in the bowling ball.
This warranty does not cover damage resulting from:

If a warranty claim is approved, Bowlers Asylum, at its sole discretion, may:
- Repair the bowling ball, when applicable.
- Replace it with the same model, if available.
- Replace it with a comparable domestic bowling ball of equal value and similar performance characteristics, as determined solely by Bolwers Asylum, if the original overseas model is unavailable or no longer offered.
