The good manufacturers of bamboo bats (Mizuno, for example) replace the bat if it breaks during the warranty period (usually 90 days).

If it's not from a company that warrants the bat, well, you get what you pay for.

Yeah 30 days, 1 replacement. Given the first one lasted 10 it's not looking good.

I am not a big fan of BamBooBats. I have swung a couple and know some guys that use them, but I have tried several bamboo bats on the market and my preference is still the Brett Bros. Gobon #5. Annex Baseball has a decent bamboo bat. I have heard good things about Mizuno, but the one I purchased didn't seem to have a lot of pop. I also used a Viper bamboo, but it wasn't that impressive and broke rather quickly. I know a couple of guys using the D-Bat bamboo, but I haven't used it. My team has a 271 from Mad Dog Bats, but it tapers a lot sooner than other 271's I am used to. We just received a bamboo from SatBats, but I haven't had a chance to swing it yet. And I think we are getting one from Dragon Sports. There are a lot of bamboo bat companies out there. Most of them are getting their bats from 1 of 5 factories.
