Overview
CargoVault Containers stands behind the quality of every container we sell. This Warranty Policy outlines the coverage provided with your purchase, what is and is not covered, how to file a claim, and how repairs, replacements, and refunds are handled. It is provided in addition to, and does not reduce, any rights you may have under applicable law.
New Container Warranty
New (one-trip) containers are covered by the original manufacturer's wind-and-watertight warranty for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery. This warranty guarantees the container remains wind and watertight under normal use, subject to the exclusions below.
Used Container Guarantee
Used containers are sold with a thirty (30) day wind-and-watertight guarantee from the date of delivery. If your used container develops a leak within this period, we will repair or replace it at no cost to you.
Refurbished Container Warranty
Refurbished containers carry a ninety (90) day wind-and-watertight and workmanship warranty from the date of delivery. Refurbishment includes repair of major defects, repainting, and door-gasket service as part of the listed grade.
Modifications & Custom Work
Custom modifications and fabrication work are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year from delivery. This excludes normal wear, user-caused damage, and modifications made by third parties after delivery. Modification components (windows, doors, insulation, electrical, etc.) may carry their own manufacturer warranties in addition to our workmanship warranty.
