Limited Warranty
Sims Cab Depot warrants to the original purchaser (the "Claimant"), that Sims Cab Depot products will be free from defective materials or workmanship, under normal use and service, for a period of (1) full year (or 500 hours, whichever is less) from the original invoice date. Warranties are non-transferable to subsequent buyers.
Sims Cab Depot's liability under this Limited Warranty is limited to the repair or (at the discretion of Sims Cab Depot) the replacement of those components of its products, which were manufactured by Sims Cab Depot that are defective in materials or workmanship. Sims Cab Depot shall have no liability under this Limited Warranty unless Sims Cab Depot is notified of the defect during the stated Warranty Period.
Warranty claims will only be considered for customer accounts that are in good standing with no past due amounts owing.
Please note that not all original equipment platforms (floors, cowls, fenders, etc.) are originally designed to support the additional weight of an after-market cab or enclosure under all operating conditions. Sims Cab Depot strives to address known equipment shortcomings at the time the cab product is designed. However, the customer is responsible for ensuring that adequate structural reinforcement of both the original equipment platform and cab is completed, where the actual or intended use of the original equipment and cab warrants such reinforcement, to ensure the functionality and durability of both the original equipment and the after-market products supplied by Sims Cab Depot are maintained for the intended life of both products. Sims Cab Depot will not be responsible for any damage to original equipment components to which our products are attached to or affected by, nor will Sims Cab Depot warrant damage to our products caused by a failure to ensure adequate structural reinforcement is completed in those circumstances requiring such reinforcement.
All returns require a Returned Material Authorization Number (RMA#). Warranty claims must be submitted to Sims Cab Depot at 1-613-534-2230 or 1-800-225-7290 prior to written authorization. All warranty work not pre-authorized by Sims Cab Depot will not be covered by this warranty agreement. Claimant must arrange shipping of the returned and repaired or replaced product or component from Sims Cab Depot plant in Long Sault, Ontario at the Claimant's own risk and expense. Sims Cab Depot must receive all returns within (30) days of issuance of a RMA#.
