Warranty
Last updated November 12, 2020 @ 11:48am
This warranty is subject to modifications and changes. Global JDM Auto Parts Inc. reserves the right to enforce these modifications without prior notice.
By purchasing any product, you agree to the terms and conditions below.
If any claim is made with malicious intent, we reserve the right to void the warranty.
We highly recommend making a purchase when you are ready for installation—either upon delivery or within the first week. The warranty period (on applicable items) starts from the date of purchase. Claims made after the warranty period cannot be accepted. The buyer assumes liability if any issues go unreported during the warranty period.
Seized or blown engines are not covered under warranty. Unless otherwise stated, you are purchasing a compression-tested, working unit. Even on the first day of the warranty period, such claims will be refused.
Shipping and labor charges are not covered under the warranty. The buyer assumes full responsibility for these costs when placing a claim.
Claims or chargebacks stating the item is "not as described" will not be accepted. Buyers are presented with actual item pictures prior to shipment.
If a settlement is in progress and a chargeback is attempted, all previous offers are subject to deduction during the dispute process.
Engines complete with accessories may not comply with emission control laws in your state. You must transfer emission devices from your original engine to comply with regulations. Add-on parts left attached by Global JDM Auto Parts Inc. are for testing purposes only and are free of charge. The purchase price represents the cost of the long block (cylinder head and short block only). All items are sold for off-road use only. The customer is responsible for ensuring compatibility and proper maintenance for compliance in their jurisdiction.
