ORTLIEB-Warranty

The ORTLIEB warranty, limited to five years, is a voluntary warranty provided by the manufacturer. It grants additional rights independent of the rights granted by consumer protection laws. Should a product be replaced within the warranty period, the date of first delivery continues to apply to the five-year warranty period.

This worldwide, free of charge warranty of five years from delivery refers to material defects and processing errors. Scuff marks, holes and cracks caused by the customer's own fault are not covered by the warranty. Claims for defects due to normal wear and tear, improper use, non-observance of the assembly instructions, third-party intervention as well as due to improper storage are excluded. No warranty is given for damage due to improper care and improper use. As a rule, however, such damage can be repaired at cost price.

Consumer Protection Law

Important: The provisions of the ORTLIEB warranty, which is limited to five years, do not apply to claims arising from statutory consumer protection rights. These statutory rights are not limited by the warranty. Thus, the benefits under the five-year limited ORTLIEB warranty are intended to supplement and not replace the rights granted by consumer protection laws.

If a product is defective, consumers may in particular claim the rights under §§ 434 et seq., §§ 474 et seq. of the German BGB (German Civil Code). Consumers can choose whether to claim performance under the ORTLIEB warranty, which is limited to five years, or under their statutory consumer protection rights.

The first point of contact for warranty claims is always the specialist or online dealer with whom the purchase contract for the product was concluded. This warranty is subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Velocity

115 €

This courier-style backpack has been one of ORTLIEB’s most popular products for many years. It is simply unbeatable when it comes to accompanying you to work, school, and play. Some of the Velocity’s distinctive features include its durability, waterproof performance and rear padding that ensures excellent ventilation. The Velocity’s carriage system has now been ergonomically optimized for even greater carrying comfort. The waist belt is easy to adjust and even detachable. The hook and loop roll closure makes for wonderfully easy access and packing. And if the hook and loop pad should ever wear out after many years of intensive use, you can return your Velocity to ORTLIEB to have it renewed, so as to give your backpack a second life. This makes the Velocity a sustainable, lifetime companion. The backpack’s interior has also been given a new design. In addition to the large zippered inside pocket, both Velocity models now have a padded laptop compartment. And the biggest “new feature” is the introduction of a smaller version to the Velocity line. With a volume of 17 liters, this backpack is ideal for shorter people or for all of those who simply need less space for their precious cargo. Velocity’s little brother has all of the features of the big brother, only in a somewhat smaller size and a volume reduction of 6 liters. Whether big or little, the Velocity is a purchase of a lifetime!
