Warranty for Exclusive Products

VMB, JB-Lighting, and other CSL exclusive products are warranted against failure in normal usage, when installed or used in accordance with the applicable instructions, due to defects in workmanship or materials.

The customer is responsible for the costs of shipping to the repair center in North Creek, New York.
