Any Covered Product which is determined by Champion Laboratories, Inc. to be defective will be replaced at no charge. In the event of an engine or equipment failure directly caused by a Covered Product, Champion Laboratories, Inc. will provide the lesser of the: i) restoration of the engine or equipment to a condition equivalent to that existing just prior to the failure or ii) cash payment of the fair market value of the vehicle. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, CHAMPION LABORATORIES, INC. DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS AND ANY AND ALL CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL AND SPECIAL DAMAGES.

VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS’ WARRANTIES
In the United States:
Use of Champion Laboratories products will not void your Original Equipment warranty. A manufacturer may not require the use of any brand of filter unless either the manufacturer provides the filter for free-of-charge under terms of the warranty or the manufacturer successfully demonstrates to the Federal Trade Commission that its product will not work properly without a specified item or service. To date, the FTC has not made any such determination for filtration products. If a manufacturer makes a claim that using a Champion Laboratories product will void or has voided your warranty, ask the manufacturer to provide this statement in writing.
Outside of the United States:
Champion Laboratories processes warranty claims on a world-wide basis. Check the terms of your Original Equipment warranty which may require the use of a specific brand of filter for a valid warranty claim and may limit or void the warranty as a result of the use or installation of other filters.
