American Barbell Limited Warranty and Limitation of Liability
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Olympic Barbells and Power Barbells
American Barbell products, known as barbells for weightlifting and powerlifting, are warranted to be free from manufacturer defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of these products when used as intended. This limited warranty defines "lifetime" coverage as lasting until the product becomes unusable due to reasons other than workmanship defects, material defects, or design issues. Please note that this limited lifetime warranty applies exclusively to the original customer for the duration of their ownership and is non-transferable. Additionally, it's important to be aware that this limited lifetime warranty does not extend to a bar's finish or coating and claims of bending will be addressed on a case-by-case basis, typically due to potential misuse.
