This policy does not automatically apply to every product offered for sale on our website.

Coverage |
|
1-Year Limited Manufacturing Warranty |

|
5-Year Anti-Corrosion Warranty |
Covers structural metal components against corrosion resulting from defects in materials or manufacturing. |
Intended Use
Our products are designed exclusively for hobbyist, personal, and non-commercial woodworking, specifically for steam bending wood using a compatible electrical, unpressurized steam source.
Warranty coverage applies only when the products are used for their intended purpose and in accordance with the supplied operating and safety instructions.
Warranty Applicability
This Limited Warranty applies only to products for which this warranty is expressly stated on the applicable product page at the time of purchase.
Not all products sold by Flexmakr or its authorized retailers carry the same warranty coverage. Where a product is covered by this Limited Warranty, the applicable warranty will be clearly identified on that product's page or in the accompanying product documentation.
If no warranty is expressly stated for a particular product, no additional express warranty is provided beyond any rights that may be available under applicable law. Products of 3rd party manufacturers (example: wallpaper steamer) sold through Flexmakr are covered under their respective manufacturer's warranties. Please read the the manufacturer's warranty terms before purchasing.
In the event of any inconsistency between this policy and the warranty information displayed on an individual product page, the warranty terms stated on the product page at the time of purchase shall govern for that product.

- Repair the defective Product or component;
- Replace the defective Product or component with the same or an equivalent item;
- Supply replacement parts; or
- Refund the original purchase price if repair or replacement is not reasonably practical.
Replacement products or components are covered only for the remainder of the original warranty period.
