Warranty claims must be accompanied with the original invoice and photos of the product. It is the customer’s responsibility to clean regularly and protect finish with regular applications of a nonabrasive polish that is compatible with the product’s finish. This warranty covers the cost of the product only and does not include the cost of removal, installation, third party modifications or shipping of the product. In no event shall Go Rhino be liable to buyer or any third party for any damage or harm caused by the product or use thereof, regardless of weather such damages were foreseeable and whether or not Go Rhino has been advised of the possibility of such damages, not withstanding the failure of any agreed or other remedy of its essential purpose. This warranty is void if the product shows signs of alteration, misuse, mishandling, improper care, neglect, improper application and/or damage due to improper installation. With respect to any such product(s) during the limited warranty period, Go Rhino shall, in its sole discretion, either: (i) provide a one-time repair or replacement of such products (or the defective part) or (ii) credit or refund the price of such products at the pro rata contract rate provided that, if Go Rhino so requests, Buyer shall, at Go Rhino’s expense, return such product(s) to Go Rhino.

Finish Limited Warranty:
Limited lifetime on stainless steel products (after April 2004) 5-year
warranty on black powder coat products 5-year warranty on chrome products This
warranty does not cover exposed welds Finish warranty covers peeling, flaking,
or cracking. Washing all finishes regularly with car wash soap and rinsing
well with water is the best method for maintaining the finish on your
products. You must also protect the finish with nonabrasive automotive wax on
a regular basis. The use of any compound which contains abrasives becomes a
self-defeating exercise as the compound scratches the finish and opens it to
corrosion. The use of harsh chemicals used to remove bugs and tar may also
cause the finish to fail and should be avoided. If you are unsatisfied with
your purchase please contact the establishment you purchased the product from.
