CLAIMS   Customer must thoroughly inspect all shipments before signing a clear delivery receipt or freight bill. Damage claims must be made directly with the carrier. Notify delivery person in writing of damage to parts or packaging that could affect product saleability. Should concealed damage be found, notify both Nickels and the carrier immediately.

Please check your order carefully upon delivery!

WARRANTY   High performance parts are sold without any express warranty or any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for purpose. Under no circumstances will Nickels Performance be responsible for labor charges for replacement of alleged defective parts, damage allegedly caused by the parts, or any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Nickels’ responsibility is limited to replacement of the defective item, if so warrantied by the manufacturer. Alleged defective part must be returned to Nickels freight prepaid for initial inspection. Nickels cannot give our customer credit for defective parts until we receive notification that the factory will issue credit to Nickels (sometimes an answer about a potential credit from the manufacturer takes more than two months). Should returned items be found to be not defective or not covered under manufacturer’s warranty upon inspection by the factory or Nickels’ representatives, parts will be returned at customer’s expense or disposed, at customer’s instruction. Refunds will not be given for warranty parts.
