Warranty Guide

Rubbermaid Incorporated
10 year Limited Warranty
What Does This Warranty Cover? This warranty covers defects caused by material and manufacturing
workmanship.
How Long Does The Coverage Last? The warranty lasts 10 years from the date of purchase.
What Will Rubbermaid Do? Rubbermaid, at its sole election, will replace the part that is covered by the
warranty. If Rubbermaid, in its sole discretion, determines that the product requires full replacement, then
Rubbermaid will either replace the product or refund you the pro-rata portion of the purchase price of the
product on a straight line depreciated basis of 10% per year. For example, if the product has been owned
for 7 years, Rubbermaid will refund you 30% of the original purchase price.
What Does This Warranty Not Cover? The warranty applies only to the original purchaser/owner and is
not transferrable. This warranty is void if the item is repaired or modified. All failures or defects must be
reported in a reasonable amount of time. Any use of the Product for purposes other than the storage of
goods will void this limited product warranty.
Commercial use, or use other than for personal or household purposes is not covered by the limited
warranty. In addition, damage caused by: insects, animals or rodents, use of force, incorrect handling,
inappropriate use, abuse, neglect, accidents, impact from foreign objects, vandalism, pollutants, set-up on
an un-level foundation, alteration, painting, fading, assembly not in accordance with the User’s Manual, or
damage caused as a result of storage above the capacity limits of the Product, are not covered by this
limited warranty. This limited warranty does not apply to damage resulting from “acts of nature” such as,
but not limited to: wind, hail, storm, tornado, hurricane, heavy snow, ice, blizzard, flood, fire effects. This
warranty is void if structural parts and components not supplied by Rubbermaid are used. This warranty
does not apply to “Normal Weathering”. “Normal Weathering” is defined as exposure to sunlight and
extremes of weather and atmosphere which will cause any colored surface to gradually fade, chalk, or
accumulate dirt or stains.
