12. Product Disclaimer

The AlloyGator alloy wheel rim protector, when properly fitted in accordance with the AlloyGator Fitting Instructions” and used in normal driving conditions, is designed to help prevent and reduce damage to your car’s alloy wheels caused by kerbing. Due to the variable nature of alloy wheels and the road environment, AlloyGator Limited gives no guarantee that the AlloyGator alloy wheel rim protector will prevent damage caused to an alloy wheel by collision with a kerb or any other object. AlloyGator Limited accepts no responsibility for any damage to your property caused by any AlloyGator alloy rim wheel protector that fails to prevent or reduce the impact made by a collision with a kerb or other object or for other damage caused to your vehicle due to an AlloyGator alloy wheel rim protector that is not properly fitted and/or cared for. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of AlloyGator Limited or its employees. The AlloyGator alloy wheel rim protectors should be used and cared for in accordance with your alloy wheel manufacturer’s guidelines. Cleaning agents containing acid may discolour the AlloyGator and should be avoided. The AlloyGator alloy wheel rim protectors are not recommended for machine polished or diamond cut alloy wheels. Although fitting the product will provide superior protection against kerb damage, due to existing imperfections in the lacquered wheel surface our product may increase the risk of moisture retention and accelerate wheel degradation. AlloyGator Limited accepts no liability if the product when fitted causes such damage. The AlloyGator alloy wheel rim protectors are not recommended for alloy wheels fitted to motor bikes, scooters or similar vehicles under any circumstances.
