You Are Protected From Material Failure and Defects in Workmanship
Perhaps you heard that Timbren offers an incredible lifetime warranty with every SES and Active Off-Road Bumpstops product. But you’re not sure if you honestly believe it. Is it true, or just a lot of B.S.?
Read on and find out exactly what we mean by Lifetime Warranty.
Does Timbren offer a REAL lifetime warranty on SES and Active Off-Road Bump Stops?
Is Timbren’s lifetime warranty legit? Let us explain what we mean by ‘lifetime’. Below is how it reads on our website:
Timbren SES (Suspension Enhancement System) Kits and Active Off-Road Bumpstops Warranty: Warranted against defects in material and workmanship, under normal use and service for the life of the vehicle on which the kit was originally installed.
Whose lifetime? The life of the vehicle for as long as you own that vehicle. Just like a muffler: The warranty is up when you sell the vehicle.
What is covered in the lifetime warranty?
All materials included in the kit are under warranty. If there is a component that is either defective or damaged under normal use, it can and will be replaced. For example, if a rubber spring is damaged due to a defect and/or under normal use, that one component will be replaced, not the entire kit.
What if the product defect damages my vehicle?
In other words, what about collateral damage beyond the damaged product itself? These warranties exclude any incidental and consequential damages, which include:
- loss of time
- inconvenience
- loss of use
- towing fees
- telephone calls
- cost of meals and lodging
- a breach of any expressed or implied warranty
What voids the warranty?
Warranty on Timbren products will not apply if you purchased the Timbren products from an unauthorized dealer.
The warranty does not extend to, or cover defects caused by:
- Any alteration, overload, abuse, or negligence.
- Parts not manufactured by Timbren
- Normal wear and tear
- Addition of wheel spacers
- Improper alignment
- Improper Installation
- Unreasonable use
- Failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance
