Terms of Warranty
At Newport, we will provide the original owner with the manufacturer warranty that covers any defects in material or workmanship. The warranty claim is directed towards the original purchase and is covered by the manufacturer.

How to make a claim?
Newport is an online electric motor and inflatable boat brand, meaning we will require a completed warranty claim submission of photos and videos of the damaged parts. More time than most, the damages are minor and simple to repair with the right guidance. Our support team will do our best to tackle the issue at hand and resolve via online support. Newport will not replace any parts/products without seeing photo or video content of the claimed damages and proof of purchase within the warranty coverage.  All warranty claims, for parts or service, require a warranty claim form to be completed and an RMA (Return Material Authorization) to be created for return of the original product.
