Warranty Policy

 CASE-MATE LIFETIME WARRANTY

This warranty applies to all Case-Mate Brand products including LuMee and Pelican.

Case-Mate offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on all products sold when the Product is purchased on Case-Mate.com or through a Case-Mate authorized seller in new condition with proof of purchase. 

If you purchased from a Case-Mate authorized seller, process the warranty claim directly with the seller according to the seller's policy. Products sold on Amazon.com and sold by “Amazon” or “Case-Mate” as the seller qualify for Case-Mate’s limited warranty. Products sold on eBay and sold by “case-mate_inc” as the seller qualify for Case-Mate’s limited warranty. Third-party sellers selling Case-Mate products on Amazon.com, eBay, or any other marketplace website will not come with the Case-Mate warranty as the quality of the products cannot be validated outside of the Case-Mate authorized seller network.

A note about unauthorized sellers: 
While you can purchase Case-Mate products that come with the limited warranty on Amazon.com, many sellers on the Amazon site are not authorized sellers and do not provide the limited warranty. Only Case-Mate and Amazon itself are authorized to sell products that qualify for the limited warranty on Amazon.com. Case-Mate does not authorize any of its other sellers to sell Case-Mate products on Amazon, eBay, or any other marketplace websites. Case-Mate does not offer its warranty, refunds, or credits on products purchased from unauthorized sellers.

We want you to be completely satisfied. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Case-Mate customer service at 1-888-988-5358.

All Case-Mate products are fully guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship for the lifetime of the initial purchaser or initial gift recipient of the applicable Case-mate product. Other than to an initial gift recipient, this warranty is not transferable. Case-Mate does not warrant and is not responsible for, any smartphone or other device made by anyone other than Case-Mate. We no longer require you to register your case to take advantage of the warranty.

If a defect arises and a valid claim is received by Case-Mate, at its option, Case-Mate will repair the product or exchange the product with a functionally equivalent new product. If the product is exchanged, the replacement product becomes your property and the returned product becomes Case-Mate's property. When a refund is given, the returned product becomes Case-Mate's property.

Limitations on Warranty

Our guarantee does not cover product damages that may have resulted from normal wear and tear or misuse/abuse or modification of the product. Additionally, the warranty does not cover damage to your device as a result of the use of any Case-Mate product. Our warranty policy does not cover lost or stolen items.

Case-Mate reserves the right to send a replacement product of similar value and design. Warranty replacements are provided based on product availability.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, EACH CASE-MATE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED SOLELY ON AN “AS IS” BASIS AND CASE-MATE MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES

OF ANY KIND.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CASE-MATE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

IN NO EVENT, UNDER ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OF THEORY OF LIABILITY, SHALL CASE-MATE, ITS DISTRIBUTORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE ANY CASE-MATE PRODUCT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS OF VALUE OF THE CASE-MATE PRODUCT OR ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS THAT ARE USED IN OR WITH THE CASE-MATE PRODUCT, OR LOSS OF USE OF THE CASE-MATE PRODUCT OR ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS THAT ARE USED IN OR WITH THE CASE-MATE PRODUCT, EVEN IF CASE-MATE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT CASE-MATE HAS NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION TO CONSUMER ELECTRONICS DEVICES OR OTHER PERSONAL PROPERTY THAT ARE CONTAINED INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE CASE-MATE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LAPTOPS, CELLULAR PHONES, OR OTHER HANDHELD DEVICES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA CONTAINED IN THE FOREGOING DEVICES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY DAMAGES THAT YOU MIGHT INCUR FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL DAMAGES REFERENCED HEREIN AND ALL DIRECT OR GENERAL DAMAGES IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE), THE ENTIRE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF CASE-MATE AND ANY OF ITS DISTRIBUTORS AND/OR SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR THE CASE-MATE PRODUCT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

Repair and replacement

We will, at our discretion, repair or replace any product that proves to be defective in material or workmanship. If your product is no longer being manufactured or is out of stock, we may replace your product with a similar or better product at our option. If you return your product within the first 30 days of purchase, you will receive a new replacement unit.

Some products we made may no longer be in production, and there may be no similar products for your device due to its age. In that event, if you have a proof of purchase, we will offer you a product for an alternate device type of equal or lesser value.

California Proposition 65 Notice

The State of California requires that all manufacturers notify their consumers of certain chemicals that may be found in their products, even if the amount is very slight. This is so because, if ingested, exposure to these chemicals could contribute to higher risks of cancer or birth defects. The general Proposition 65 notice is as follows:

WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

All of our products are safe and are required to meet applicable federal health and safety standards. A variety of products on the market today contain safe levels of these chemicals, and when used as intended, do not expose the consumer to any greater risks.

With that in mind, please use this product only for its intended purpose and, although unlikely, do not eat or attempt to ingest any part of this product. If any portion of this product becomes detached it should be returned to the manufacturer for correction.
