What is the Manduka PRO Lifetime Guarantee?Updated 6 months ago
Limited Warranty
Manduka guarantees the Manduka PRO®, PROlite® and PRO Travel® yoga mats to last the lifetime of the mat, if used and cared for properly. PRO Extra Large mats and Almost Perfect PRO mats are not covered by the Lifetime Guarantee. The lifetime of the mat is approximately 10 years of regular use when loved and cared for. Should a PRO mat wear out past its useful life from regular use under normal conditions, we will replace the product. Maximum one replacement per purchase.
Because Manduka cannot control the quality of products sold by unauthorized sellers, the Lifetime Guarantee applies only to Manduka PRO, PROlite and PRO Travel mats that were purchased from Manduka or a Manduka authorized seller in the United States, unless otherwise prohibited by law. Manduka reserves the right to reject Lifetime Guarantee claims for Products purchased from unauthorized sellers, including unauthorized Internet sites.
Cosmetic wear to the mat surface that does not affect the mat’s performance, damage resulting from improper handling, cleaning, storage or care, damage from outside elements, damage from excessive amounts of water, post-purchase modifications, alterations, negligence, and use for a purpose other than for which it was designed are not covered by the Manduka PRO Lifetime Guarantee. This Guarantee also does not cover uneven color patterns, stains, or discoloration at the time of purchase or from use, bad odor due to usage and lack of cleaning, slipping on the mat, mats purchased before September 1, 2008, mats marked “Irregular” at time of purchase, or mats used by studios for in-studio equipment use.

Manduka will review the submission, determine if the PRO Series mat falls under our Lifetime Guarantee criteria, and provide further instruction.
