The Reindeer Proof™ Warranty

If Donner Can't Destroy It, It Must Be Good.

We are proud to offer one of the best warranty programs in the industry: our Reindeer Proof™ Warranty.

For our house-brand items — most bulbs and strings, including ColorSplash, SuperSpark®, QuadSpark®, Dazzle™, and DreamSpark® strings, and many other items — we are the manufacturer, and we provide and service the manufacturer's warranty ourselves. For all other items made by our suppliers, the warranty is provided by the manufacturer, and for some claims we may refer you to them directly.

You will find specific warranty information on each product page.

All items we sell carry a manufacturer's warranty of 30 days to 5 years. Please check the product information for warranty details. If you don't see warranty information or have more questions, contact us at support@thechristmaslightemporium.com.

Most of the items we sell are intended for seasonal use only. In the seasonal products business, all manufacturers define “1 season” as a maximum of 90 days of use in a 12-month period. Permanently installed use of seasonal items voids the product warranty.

Warranty Details & Fine Print

Answers to common warranty questions, including coverage, seasons, shipping, and the legal terms.

Who Provides the Warranty on My Item?

For our house-brand items — most bulbs and strings, including ColorSplash, SuperSpark®, QuadSpark®, Dazzle™, and DreamSpark® strings, and many other items — we are the manufacturer, and we provide and service the manufacturer's warranty. For all other items manufactured by our suppliers, the warranty is provided by the manufacturer. For some warranty claims, we may refer you to the manufacturer, who may be a third party.

Other than the warranty of title, The Christmas Light Emporium makes no warranty on the products sold other than our house-brand “The Christmas Light Emporium” products that we design, manufacture, or direct import. Any warranty applicable to a product is that of the manufacturer of the product and not The Christmas Light Emporium. For example, a Light-O-Rama product offered by The Christmas Light Emporium through this website will have only the warranty offered by Light-O-Rama on that product. Please refer to the manufacturer's product warranty information contained in the packaging or provided on the applicable manufacturer's website.

What Does the Warranty Cover?

The warranty covers manufacturing defects for products used under normal operating and use conditions. For seasonal items — most of the items we sell — normal use conditions include a maximum of 90 days of continuous use per 12-month period in a generally accepted manner.

What Counts as One Season?

Most of the items we sell are intended for seasonal use only. In the seasonal products business, all manufacturers define “1 season” as a maximum of 90 days of use in a 12-month period. Permanently installed use of seasonal items voids the product warranty.

Do You Cover Shipping on Warranty Claims?

For items covered under The Christmas Light Emporium's in-house 3-year warranty, we cover the cost of shipping and replacement for any covered, materially defective item for the first season of use (90 days). Beyond the first season, the customer is responsible for shipping costs both ways.

If there is water damage, electrical damage, another act of nature, critter damage, or customer misuse at any point, the warranty immediately becomes void. If we receive a warranty return that turns out not to be defective, we will charge back to the customer any shipping cost we incurred, and return shipping is the customer's responsibility if they want the non-defective item returned.

What Is the Warranty on Wireframe & Designer Series Displays?

Our Designer Series Displays carry a 1-season (90-day) warranty against defects in manufacturing or workmanship. Our standard wireframe displays carry a 30-day warranty against defects in manufacturing or workmanship.
