All wheelchairs must be registered to activate warranty coverage. Learn more about our warranty.
How can I register a CLASP wheelchair?
To activate the warranty coverage, the wheelchair must be registered no later than 30 days after the wheelchair is provided to the user. Click here to register your wheelchair
If you are a customer, please ensure that the wheelchair registration form is circulated to all wheelchair service providers that receive CLASP assistive products from you so that they can assist their clients with wheelchair registration.
If you are a wheelchair service provider, please share this link with clients that have access to the internet and would like to register their own products. If a client does not have access to the internet or does not want to register their own product, please register their wheelchair on their behalf at the time of provision.
Do you send replacement wheelchairs and/or parts?
