BEST VALUE VACS BRANDED PRODUCTS
LIMITED WARRANTY
Best Value Vacs (“BVV”) warrants that the Best Value Vacs branded products described below in “WARRANTED PRODUCTS” (each a “Covered Product”) will be free from defects in materials or workmanship, when used under normal conditions. This limited warranty, as further described below, is the sole and exclusive warranty of any kind made by BVV to its Customers. BVV makes no warranties of any product not sold under BVV brand.
PERSONS ENTITLED TO WARRANTY
The above limited warranty is made only to original end-use, retail purchasers (“Original Purchasers”), who purchased a Covered Product in its original packaging directly from BVV or a BVV authorized reseller. If the Covered Product was purchased from someone other than BVV or an authorized BVV reseller or if the Covered Product was used prior to purchase, the person purchasing the Covered Product is not an Original Purchaser. If a person received the Covered Product as a gift from an Original Purchaser and the Original Purchaser identified the product as a gift at the time of checkout, then the gift recipient shall be considered an Original Purchaser for purpose of this limited warranty.
COVERED PRODUCTS
This limited warranty applies only to Covered Products – those BVV branded products described below in “WARRANTED PRODUCTS” – purchased by Original Purchaser in original BVV packaging. This limited warranty does not apply to any BVV branded product not described in “WARRANTIED PRODUCTS.” This limited warranty does not apply to any product that is not BVV branded; the Customer must directly contact the Third Party Manufacturer of any non-BVV branded product for any warranty which such Third Party Manufacturer may provide.
In addition, products purchased at auction and Clearance, Open Box, or Refurbished Products are not Covered Products and are sold without a warranty of any kind; if an extended warranty is purchased at checkout this is separate from BVV's standard warranty.

If the customer does not contact BVV™ within 72 hours from carrier delivery, then BVV™ cannot issue any replacement(s) or compensation for the item; a new purchase will need to be made for a replacement.
Glassware Safety Disclaimer: BVV™ is not responsible for the failure of glassware which must be inspected before and after every use because it may eventually develop imperfections or damage through normal usage, mishandling, and stress caused by temperature variations.

BVV SERVICE OBLIGATION AND CUSTOMER REMEDY
The limited warranty above is the only express warranty that BVV provides for Covered Products, and the original Customer’s sole remedy and recourse for breach of the limited warranty are as set forth in this Section. If the Covered Product contains a defect in material or workmanship covered by the limited warranty, the original Customer must, prior to the end of the applicable Period of Coverage, submit its claim to BVV in writing either by email at Support@shopbvv.com or by regular mail, courier or hand delivery to BVV’s corporate offices at 1251 Frontenac Road, Suite 150, Naperville, Illinois 60563 (or such other address as BVV may post on its website https://www.bestvaluevacs.com as its main office). The claim shall be deemed received by BVV two (2) hours after the time the Original Customer sends the email (unless the sender receives an automated message that the email has not been delivered) or upon actual receipt by BVV if delivery is by any other manner. BVV may require the Original Customer to provide the original invoice or other proof of purchase and electronic photographs of the alleged defect. BVV’s sole obligation with respect to a defect covered by the limited warranty is, at its option, to:
- Repair the covered product using new or previously used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability; or
- Replace the covered product with the same model, or a product that has similar functionality, formed from new and/or previously used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability.
The term of the limited warranty for any repairs or replacements made under this Section shall expire on the later of (a) the expiration of the original limited warranty Period of Coverage or (b) ninety (90) days following the date of shipment of the repaired or replacement Covered Product to Original Customer. If BVV requests that Original Customer return the Covered Product to BVV, Original Purchaser shall follow all of BVV’s instructions for return and shall be responsible for any and all freight charges and insurance, which shall be in at least the amount of the original purchase price. BVV, as its option, may make available to Customer use of BVV’s selected carrier and negotiated shipping rates.
VOLTAGE WARNINGS
- The voltage of all products offered by BVV is in standard US 110/120V power (unless otherwise stated/advertised). BVV will ship dual voltage appliances to international customers if advertised and available.
- If a BVV product ships or is used outside of the US or CA, the limited warranty is automatically void. BVV does not warranty products (that require electric/power) that are used outside of the US or CA and/or used with a power convertor.
- It is the CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY to know what voltage is required for the customer’s power grid. It shall not be deemed a defect if the voltage of the covered product is not compatible with the original customer’s power grid, or if any damage occurs to the appliance from incompatible power inputs.
- If a customer uses a BVV product with a power converter, the limited warranty shall be void. NO EXCEPTIONS.
VACUUM PUMP WARNINGS
Customers using solvents such as stabilization resins (Cactus Juice, Gator Venom, etc.), alcohol and other polar solvents must use the vacuum pumps in conjunction with a cold trap for evacuations. Stabilization resins have the ability to break down the internal components of the pump that are plastic resulting in a seized motor voiding all warranties. These solvents begin to vaporize and the then re-condense in the vacuum pump reservoir. If enough solvent re-condenses in the pump displacing the oil, the plastic internal components may begin to wrap, melt, or seize. The use of the cold trap will condense the vapors prior to making their way to the vacuum pump preventing pump damage due to excessive use. Minwax Wood Hardener is not to be used with any vacuum pumps, EVER. (A seized motor can result in only one use.) No vacuum pump shall be used for any period of time exceeding 5 minutes without a cold trap. Customer must change oil after each vacuum pump use. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE WARNINGS WILL VOID THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN ITS ENTIRETY.
