LIFESTYLE Guarantees
Most brands will accept returns of products if they're defective, but offering a comprehensive lifetime guarantee is not something all companies do. Luckily, there are some brands that swear by their products, so much so that they will attest to their quality for the lifetime of the product. This means that consumers can return their products to be repaired or replaced, often years after purchase. It's worth mentioning, however, that exemptions usually apply to these lifetime warranties, including normal wear and tear as well as accidental damage, to name a few.
