PA Performance warrants solely to the original retail customer that our standard output starter motors and alternators (the Product) are free from defects in design, materials and/or workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle on which the product was originally installed. This warranty is not transferable.

This warranty applies only if:

The Product is installed correctly and is used for the application for which it was originally intended
The unit was not disassembled, altered or modified in any way
The unit was used within normal operating speeds and not over-spun  In many cases these limits are printed and included in the box
The Product was purchased for Street use only. For fleet, racing and High Output applications see notes
Due to the increased performance of our alternators, #4 gauge battery and power feed cables must be used
The Product is returned with the warranty tag received with the Product after requesting Return Material Authorization (RMA) from us
The Product must be returned to: PA Performance Warranty Services 704 East 4th Street, Boyertown, PA 19512

All Products must be returned to PA-Performance for evaluation, NO replacements will be sent without prior evaluation. PA Performance reserves the right to repair, replace, or refund the customer. Repeat warranty returns often indicate a problem with installation, the vehicle or incompatibility, which we cannot support. We reserve the right to repair or replace the unit and return it to the customer with no further warranty support. Sometimes at no fault of the customer or PA-Performance there may be incompatibility for which components failed prematurely. This is done at the determination of PA Performance and no exceptions will be made pending a management review.

PA Performance does not sell direct to any address outside of the continental USA and maintain Warranty Support (see Policy), nor does PA Performance pay warranty freight charges outside of this area on units purchased through authorized dealers or affiliates.

Starter Specific: This warranty does not apply in cases of over-cranking or improper wiring. (The starter failed due to continuous cranking of a motor that does not start or stays engaged when it should have released)

Alternator Specific: This warranty does not apply in cases where the unit was connected improperly, damaged or shorted out by improper use, or failure due to excessive RPM operation. Special finishes are not warranted because we cannot control the use, care or environment of the unit in your application. Once a unit has been installed the warranty requires us to bring the unit back to our facility for testing and/or repair. In all cases, the unit must come back to PA Performance for testing before any further steps are taken.

This warranty does not apply to damage or failure caused by vehicle accident, faulty installation, improper maintenance, acts of God or nature. PA Performance shall assume no liability or responsibility whatsoever for any damages or expenses caused by or relating to the failure of the Product, other than the repair or replacement of the Product alone. PA Performance shall not be liable and will not reimburse for labor charges or incidental or consequential damages.

This Limited Lifetime Warranty is not transferable or assignable by the original retail customer to any other person or to any other vehicle. PA Performance may modify this Warranty program at any time.

The Warranty set forth above is in lieu of all other Warranties, expressed or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

All products offered by PA Performance are manufactured with 100% new components unless otherwise stated in the product description. Consequently each unit is sold with this Warranty. Void warranties are not subject to refunds of any type. Warranty is limited to the cost or replacement of the unit and shipping costs. No cash refunds - only exchanges are permitted. Warranty does not include labor claims or other associated costs or damages. Any return of a known or proven good product approved by PA Performance must be in perfect re-sellable condition and will be subject to a 15% re-stocking fee. Warranty does not apply to customers who change their mind or ordered the wrong part.

Some of our products are redistributed through affiliates, dealers and distributors. All product warranties are to be sent to PA Performance directly. Warranty returns will not be accepted back from the reseller. Credit or replacement will not be issued by the retailer unless PA Performance gives prior authorization.

PA Performance will accept no Warranty back without proper and prior authorization.

In order to process a warranty claim:
The buyer must contact PA Performance with the proposed defect
PA Performance will provide a shipping tag and Authorization Number to the customer.
Upon receipt at PA Performance that proposed defect would be tested and legitimate defects will be processed.
Proven " good" products are subject to full payment and reimbursement of shipping charges by the customer - who's account will be debited and the customer notified.
Proven “defects” will be processed according to the terms outlined in this warranty.

Notes:

Standard Units: Lifetime is defined as the original installation on the vehicle for which it was purchased.
Fleet, Race or Highway Units: Due to the severe duty of Fleet, Race and Highway Applications we cannot warrant these units beyond the initial installation.
High Output (HO) Units: Because of the severe duty of these units the warranty is 12 months effective the date of invoice.
Special order products (i.e. chrome, powder coated, HO, etc) PA Performance is not liable for the cost of the Special process unless the warranty related failure destroyed it as well.
Special finishes are not warranted because we cannot control the use, care or environment of the unit.
Warranty products will be picked up and delivered by UPS Ground.
The warranty program does not reimburse the customer for expedited or international delivery charges as may have been used by the customer for the original order.
Expedited shipping is available at the customer’s expense.
Warranty does not cover products that were ordered incorrectly. We cannot be responsible for customer errors. Returns will only be accepted for complete units (starters or alternators). 

Under no circumstances shall any person be authorized by PA Performance to modify or add to the foregoing Warranty and Liability provisions. There are no exceptions to the contents or limitations of this Warranty
