Vector® KGM’s Famous No Proof Warranty
All Vector lighters are backed up by Vector-KGM’s famous No Proof Warranty. No Proof Warranty means just that. You are not required to provide a proof of purchase in order to receive warranty services on any malfunctioning Vector lighters. It’s a hassle free, no questions asked, warranty service program. It’s Vector-KGM’s way of showing appreciation and commitment to its customers. Vector-KGM is the last remaining company with an actual in-house warranty service department, with actual lighter-specialist technicians who can perform repair services on the lighters. Our industry leading turn-around time of 1-2 weeks truly sets Vector-KGM apart from other so-called lighter companies without any in-house QC and service departments.
What’s Covered Under No Proof Warranty?
All Vector® lighters and torches (lighters from hereafter). Yes, we will even service the ones that are missing few parts of the lighters, but do not expect us to service the ones that are in multiple pieces. If all moving parts of the lighters are intact, we will service the lighters regardless of the cause of malfunctioning (e.g., dropped on concrete floor, used inferior butane to refill, not used for years, etc). Mutilated lighters (missing more than 2 broken pieces) automatically void warranty.
