Warranty Policy

Warranty Policy

At Fleximake and our divisions — including Flexi Transport, Tarp Factory, and FM Industrial — we stand behind the quality of our products.

This Warranty Policy applies to products branded by Fleximake and sold through our online store. For third-party products, please refer to the original manufacturer's warranty (see Section 3 below).

1. What Our Warranty Covers

Fleximake warrants that our products will be free from manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the warranty periods set out in the Product Warranty Table below.

The warranty period starts from the date of purchase shown on your invoice.

What we will do:

If a manufacturing defect is found during the warranty period, we will, at our discretion:

  • Repair the product
  • Replace the product with the same or equivalent product
  • Provide a partial or full refund (depending on the age and usage of the product)

2. What Our Warranty Does NOT Cover

Warranty claims will be rejected (or reduced) where the issue is caused by:

Exclusion

Explanation

Normal wear and tear

All products naturally age and wear with use.

Incorrect installation or use

Not following our instructions or using the product outside its intended purpose.

Misuse or negligence

Abuse, accidental damage, or lack of reasonable care.

UV overexposure

Damage from prolonged direct sunlight beyond the product's design limits.

Chemical exposure

Contact with chemicals the product was not designed to handle.

Pest or animal damage

Rodents, insects, pets, or livestock.

Environmental damage

Flood, fire, lightning, storm, or extreme weather events.

Improper storage

Storing the product in conditions outside its specified range.

Modification or repair by third parties

Any alteration or repair carried out without our prior approval.

Consumable parts

Seals, gaskets, hoses, valves, fittings, and similar components that wear with normal use.

Failure to mitigate damage

Continuing to use the product after you become aware of a potential defect.

If you are unsure whether an issue is covered, please contact us — we assess every claim on a case-by-case basis.
