SportaFence® System
Product Warranty
Product Description and Coverage
The Sportafence ® portable outfield fence is constructed of commercial-grade fencing materials to provide
many years of successful operation as an outfield fence for baseball, softball, little league, youth league
baseball, and temporary fencing for special events. This revolutionary new patent-pending device is
designed to sustain the “game like” impacts that may normally occur during the course of baseball or softball
games. It is also designed to absorb normal and routine contact when used as a barrier for special event
uses.
The Sportafence ® device is primarily designed for the purpose of functioning as a portable temporary
fencing or barrier system for special events and as a portable outfield fence for baseball and/or softball
diamonds. As such, the use of the Sportafence ® for other non-compatible purposes for which it was not
designed or intended may void this warranty.
This warranty agreement guarantees that the Sportafence ® will function as intended and the manufacturer
will fix, repair, and/or replace defective part(s) should the parts cease to function through normal and
reasonable use, movement, transit or transportation of the Sportafence ® product.
Normal and reasonable use is defined herein as using the Sportafence ® as a portable outfield fence device
during sporting events such as baseball or softball at any level of play (youth leagues, Little Leagues, High
School, college, tournaments, etc).
When using the wheel system as intended, the Sportafence ® can be moved in single unit panels or in
multiple unit panels; however, the manufacturer recommends no more than a maximum of five panels at a
time. Transport is expected to be across reasonably smooth, flat, and level ground without impediments;
ground conditions which are consistent with typical smooth and level manicured athletic fields. Please note,
the Sportafence ® is not designed to carry the additional weight of any materials, objects, or persons.
Exclusions
Repairs, replacement, or damages under this warranty may exclude certain conditions for which the
manufacturer of the Sportafence ® device will not be held liable or responsible. These certain conditions
include but are not limited to the following:
• Moving the Sportafence ® over undulated surfaces (such as dips, hills, rises, curvatures, etc.)
• Moving the Sportafence ® over curbs, gutters, speed bumps, railings, railroad tracks, or any other
similar impediments that would make an otherwise flat surface unsmooth or uneven
• Hitting baseballs or softballs into the fence from a short distance intentionally or unintentionally as in
games of "pepper" or using it as a barrier for batting practice or toss up or any such close range
activity where a baseball or softball or any other hard object could be directed into the Sportafence ®
from the front or the back and thus cause damage to the fabric or frame or any other part of the
device.
• Deliberately throwing baseballs, softballs, or any other hard object into the Sportafence ® at close
range and with enough force or potential force to dent, damage, bend, disable, or deface. This
includes using the Sportafence ® for a backstop when warming up throwing arms or pitching or any
other circumstance that could cause a ball to be thrown into the fence intentionally or not except for
activity that occurs during the normal course of a baseball or softball game.
• Collisions with the fence with other than a human body during normal playing conditions. The
Sportafence ® is designed to withstand the force of a human body running or colliding with it under
normal playing conditions. Purposely running into, colliding with, or impacting the fence from the
"backside" or non-playing side, climbing on the fence, having multiple persons colliding with,
impacting, sitting on, or otherwise inappropriately making contact with the fence.
• Impacts from non-human sources such as but not limited to bats, pipes, clubs, spikes, rocks, stones,
wood, lumber, cars, trucks, carts, concrete, lawnmowers, picks, shovels, hammers, blades, cutters,
shears, barriers, or any other hard object or objects capable of denting, scratching, bending or
damaging the Sportafence ® in any way not otherwise listed whether said object is known to be
capable of causing damage or the Sportafence ® or not.
• Damage from vandalism, weather conditions or unforeseen "natural" event or "acts of god" which are
beyond the control of the buyer or manufacturer (e.g. Tornadoes, hurricanes, lightening, earthquakes,
or any other severe weather-related condition).
• Deployment of windscreens, sponsorship banners, signage or attachment of any other materials not
included as part of OEM provided by Sportafence
