Customer Limited Warranty and Standard Return Policy
Hauler Racks, Inc. offers to preferred customers a special limited warranty. It is our goal to provide effective service for
any warranty or standard return. This statement of warranty and return policy is divided into two sections: Warranty
Returns of Defective Product and Standard Returns of Unused Product.
Warranty Returns of Defective Product
Hauler Racks, Inc. will repair or replace, at its option and without charge, any properly installed Hauler component that
fails due to defect in material or workmanship up to 30 days from the initial registered consumer purchase. All of our
aluminum product line is guaranteed not to rust or corrode for 1 year. Proof of Purchase must be provided for warranty
to be honored.
Loads should never exceed 1/3 of your vehicle’s manufacturer’s total load capacity. Loads should never extend more
than 1 foot on either end of rack. This warranty is void if any damage to the product is due to misuse, abuse, neglect,
accident, improper installation, or any uses contrary to the instructions accompanying the product. The warranty is also
void if racks are altered in any manner. The racks have been load tested for the racks capacity to hold loads when not
on a vehicle. Hauler Racks, Inc. does not warranty load capacities. As the factory has no way of knowing if the product
was properly assembled, installed, used according to instructions, or if loads were secured properly.
This warranty covers the cost of the defective component and not the cost of removal, installation or other incidental
charges unless other arrangements have been made with Hauler Racks.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights which vary from state to state.
All warranty claims must receive a Return Authorization number from Hauler Racks, Inc. BEFORE the product is
