Imperium 3-Year Warranty. Plain and Simple
Every Imperium spa cover is covered by a 3-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Our coverage is flat for the full 3 years, with no pro-rated reduction over time. If something fails because of how we built it, within 3 years of delivery, we’ll repair or replace it.
What’s Covered
- Foam core breakdown not caused by water absorption from chemical or physical damage.
- Vapor barrier failure (provided the cover hasn’t been physically damaged).
- Seam failure on stitched edges.
- Vinyl tearing, cracking, or peeling under normal Canadian outdoor conditions.
- Hardware failure on locking straps and handles.
What’s Not Covered
- Damage from improper chemical balance (high chlorine, low pH, etc.).
- Damage from animals, sharp objects, or impact.
- Damage from snow load exceeding the cover’s rated capacity.
- Normal cosmetic wear (light fading, minor surface marks).
- Damage from leaving the cover folded back or improperly stored for extended periods.
- Modifications made to the cover by anyone other than Imperium.
Why We Don’t Offer a 10-Year Warranty
Many longer warranties in this category are pro-rated, meaning the percentage of coverage decreases each year (for example, 50% credit after year 2, 20% after year 5, and so on).
We took a different approach: a flat 3-year warranty that doesn’t decrease over time. If your cover fails because of how we built it within those 3 years, we make it right at no cost: repair, replace, or refund. We chose 3 years because that’s the period when manufacturing defects are most likely to surface, and most spa covers reach the end of their useful service life around year 4-6 regardless of who built them.
How to File a Claim
- Email support@imperiumcovers.com with your order number and a description of the issue.
- Include photos of the defect from multiple angles.
- We’ll respond within 2 business days with next steps.
- If approved, we’ll either repair, replace, or refund (our discretion) at no cost to you.
Transferability
This warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser. Warranty coverage terminates if the cover changes ownership.
