Coverage
ZLINE Kitchen and Bath faucets and bath accessories have a limited lifetime warranty from the original date of product delivery for the original purchaser of the product. ZLINE warranty periods begin from the original date of product delivery and solely cover the original purchaser of the product, delivered new and in its original carton. ZLINE will provide free-of-charge, non-consumable replacement parts for components that failed due to manufacturing defects.
It is the responsibility of the customer to install all replacement parts, as ZLINE does not perform service repairs on its faucets and bath accessories.
ZLINE's liability is limited to the original purchase price of the product. Additional injuries, losses, damages, or other inconveniences caused by product malfunction or defects in materials are not covered under the terms of this warranty.
Terms
ZLINE warranties apply only to the original purchaser of a ZLINE product installed for normal residential use. This is defined as a single-family, residential dwelling in a non-commercial setting. Any warranty claim stemming from installation, operation, or any other use within a commercial setting is not covered under this limited warranty.
Commercial settings include, but are not limited to: schools, churches, hotels, restaurants, vacation rentals such as Airbnb, daycare centers, private clubs, fire stations, common areas in multi-family dwellings, nursing homes, food service locations, and institutional food service locations such as hospitals or correctional facilities.

The warranty applies only to products installed in the contiguous United States and the District of Columbia.
Exclusions and Limitations
Out-of-pocket payments will not be reimbursed for replacement parts unless prior approval is received from ZLINE. Unapproved out-of-pocket payments for parts will not be reimbursed. Out-of-pockets for any type of service will not be reimbursed, as ZLINE does not perform service repairs on faucets and bath accessories. All warranty procedures must be followed to maintain warranty coverage.

The original purchaser of the product must provide the original proof of purchase, including the purchase date, when filing a claim to obtain replacement parts or refunds. Additionally, the original purchaser of the product must provide the serial number of the product when filing a claim to obtain replacement parts or refunds.
This warranty shall not apply to any ZLINE product in which the original factory serial number has been removed, altered, or cannot be readily determined for any reason.
