WARRANTY & RETURN POLICY

Here’s the Summary

All Champion products (including radiators) come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Since the warranty is through them, all warranties are subject to their approval. Though the warranty/return rate is extremely low, we will still do our best to help you through the process and get you taken care of if it ever comes up!

A few more things:

  • Don’t beat up the radiator… Physical damage voids the warranty! (Unless it happens in shipping)
  • Don’t abuse the radiator… Failures due to lack of maintenence and neglect void the warranty!
  • Buyer is responsible for all shipping UNLESS we’re shipping you a warranty replacement.
  • Returns are allowed for the first 60 days for a product refund (shipping charges are customer responsibility)
