EMPI Limited Warranty
EMPI Inc. warrants its products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 90 days from the date of original retail purchase under normal use and service conditions. This warranty applies to the original purchaser only and is non-transferable. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
What Is Covered
This warranty covers manufacturing defects in EMPI-branded parts sold through Up Your Bug. If a covered defect is confirmed, EMPI will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace the defective part at no charge.

Limitation of Liability
EMPI INC.'S AND UP YOUR BUG'S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE DEFECTIVE PART. IN NO EVENT SHALL EMPI INC.

Installation Disclaimer
Up Your Bug does not install parts and is not a licensed repair facility. Proper installation of automotive parts requires mechanical knowledge and appropriate tools. Improper installation can result in vehicle damage, personal injury, or death. Up Your Bug strongly recommends that all parts be installed by a qualified mechanic. Up Your Bug assumes no liability for damages arising from improper installation, regardless of whether installation instructions were provided.
Street Legality Disclaimer
Many performance parts sold through Up Your Bug are designed and sold for off-road, show, or competition use only. It is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify that any part is legal for use on public roads in their jurisdiction before installation. Up Your Bug makes no representation that any part complies with federal, state, or local emissions, safety, or equipment regulations.

JayCee Enterprises products are warranted separately by JayCee Enterprises under their own warranty terms. For JayCee warranty claims, contact JayCee Enterprises directly. Up Your Bug passes through JayCee's warranty on JayCee-branded products but makes no independent warranty of its own on those products.
