LIMITED WARRANTY
Go Rhino warrants to Buyer that for a period of five (5) years from the date
of shipment of the product(s) (“Warranty Period”) for black finishes and
chrome finishes, that such products will materially conform to the
specifications set forth in Go Rhino’s specifications in effect as of the date
of shipment(s) and will be free from material defects in material workmanship.
Go Rhino warrants to Buyer that for the life of the product(s) from the date
of shipment of the product(s) (“Warranty Period”) for polished stainless steel
finished products purchased after April 2004, that such products will
materially conform to the specifications set forth in Go Rhino’s
specifications in effect as of the date of shipments and will be free from
material defects in material workmanship.
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 onetime 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)

Go Rhino’s entire liability for any breach of the limited warrant(ies).

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.

purchased the product from.
