FLOAT Limited Lifetime Warranty — For Purchases in November 2026 and Later

FLOAT® BY SHARK WHEEL — LIMITED LIFETIME STEEL WHEEL & PADDLE WARRANTY
Effective Date: November 2026

This warranty is provided directly by Shark Wheel to the original farmer (end user). All percentage-based calculations use the price actually paid by the farmer for the affected FLOAT wheel, as verified by both the original invoice and proof of payment. Dealer, distributor, Reinke, and other wholesale prices are not used.

WARRANTY COVERAGE AT A GLANCE

Year 1: Steel wheel 100% Covered; Paddle 100% Covered — $0
Year 2: Steel wheel 100% Covered; Paddle 2% of farmer purchase price per paddle
Year 3: Steel wheel 100% Covered; Paddle 2% of farmer purchase price per paddle
Years 4–15: Steel wheel 70% Covered; Paddle 2% of farmer purchase price per paddle
Years 16–Lifetime*: Steel wheel 70% Covered; Paddle 2% of farmer purchase price per paddle

SHIPPING & HANDLING IS SEPARATE FROM THE PRODUCT WARRANTY. Only the physical replacement steel wheel or paddle is subject to the product coverage listed above. Shipping and handling charges are separate and are charged for delivery of approved warranty replacement products to the farmer (end user). Shark Wheel's best available shipping rates and standard handling rates apply, subject to applicable law. *Lifetime is defined in Section 2 as the FLOAT product's market lifetime. All coverage is subject to eligibility, verification, and the full terms below.

1. WARRANTY BENEFICIARY, ADMINISTRATION & PROOF OF PURCHASE

This manufacturer-direct warranty benefits the original farmer (end user) who purchases the FLOAT wheel for agricultural use, whether purchased from Shark Wheel, Reinke, a dealer, or a distributor. Warranty claims are reviewed and fulfilled directly by Shark Wheel, not through an intermediary. For every claim, the farmer must provide BOTH (1) the original dated purchase invoice or receipt showing the FLOAT wheel, purchase date, and purchase price, and (2) proof of payment verifying the amount actually paid. The documented original wheel purchase price excludes separately itemized taxes, delivery, installation, and unrelated products or services. Where an invoice includes multiple wheels, the purchase price must be identifiable per affected wheel. The original documented purchase date controls the start of coverage. This warranty is limited to the original farmer purchaser unless Shark Wheel authorizes transfer in writing. A replacement does not restart the warranty period.

2. DEFINITION OF LIFETIME WARRANTY

Lifetime Warranty: This warranty is valid for the product's market lifetime, defined as the period during which the product is actively manufactured and sold by Shark Wheel. If the product is discontinued, this warranty immediately terminates. This definition applies to the steel wheel and paddle warranties, subject to applicable law.

3. STEEL WHEEL — LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

Shark Wheel covers qualifying manufacturing defects and normal wear and tear arising from intended agricultural use when the steel wheel is compromised to the point that it can no longer function as intended.

Years 1–3: 100% Covered. For an approved claim, Shark Wheel covers 100% of the eligible physical replacement steel wheel parts charge. The farmer pays $0 for the replacement steel wheel itself. Shipping and handling are separate.

Year 4–Lifetime: 70% Covered. For an approved claim, Shark Wheel covers an amount equal to 70% of the farmer's documented original purchase price for the affected FLOAT wheel toward an eligible replacement steel wheel. The farmer pays any remaining eligible replacement product charge. The covered amount cannot exceed the eligible replacement parts charge, has no cash value, and does not apply to shipping, handling, or permitted regulatory surcharges. Steel wheel claims must include the original invoice, proof of payment, clear photographs, and clear video showing that the wheel is compromised and can no longer operate as intended. Shark Wheel must verify functional failure and qualifying manufacturing defect or normal wear before written approval. Exclusions include cosmetic changes without functional failure, intentional damage, misuse, improper installation, unauthorized modifications, and use outside published specifications where such circumstances caused the failure.

4. PADDLE — LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

All standard and high-traction FLOAT paddles qualify for manufacturing-defect and normal-wear coverage when a paddle is compromised to the point it can no longer function as intended.

Year 1: 100% Covered. The farmer (end user) pays $0 for each approved replacement paddle.

Year 2–Lifetime: 2% Per Paddle. The product charge for each approved replacement paddle equals 2% × the farmer's documented original purchase price for the affected complete FLOAT wheel. The calculation is repeated for each approved paddle; no wholesale or intermediary price is used. Shipping and handling are separate. Paddle claims must include the original invoice, proof of payment, clear photographs, and clear video showing that each affected paddle is compromised and can no longer perform as intended. Shark Wheel verifies qualifying functional failure before written approval. Cosmetic wear without performance impairment is insufficient.

5. SHIPPING AND HANDLING

The warranty coverage percentages and paddle replacement charges apply only to the physical products. Shipping and handling are separately charged for delivery of approved warranty replacement products to the farmer (end user). Shark Wheel's best available shipping rates and standard handling rates will apply; charges reflect shipment destination, size, component quantity, and fulfillment requirements. Applicable charges will be disclosed before fulfillment and paid by the farmer, subject to applicable law.

6. MANDATORY VERIFICATION & APPROVAL

Every claimant must submit BOTH clear photographic and video evidence showing the affected steel wheel or paddles are compromised to the point they can no longer function as intended, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Shark Wheel must verify the end-user invoice, proof of payment, the documented purchase price, eligible warranty period, functional condition, and whether repair or replacement is appropriate. Shark Wheel may request reasonable additional documentation or inspection. Claim submission does not constitute approval; written approval is required.

7. WARRANTY CLAIM PROCESS

Submit the warranty claim directly through FLOATTIRE.COM.
Provide the original farmer purchase invoice AND proof of payment.
Upload photographs AND video demonstrating functional failure of the affected components.
Shark Wheel reviews the evidence and verifies warranty eligibility and the end-user purchase price.
For an approved claim, Shark Wheel provides a written statement of product replacement charges, shipping and handling, and applicable permitted regulatory surcharges.
After payment of applicable charges, Shark Wheel arranges shipment directly to the farmer. Do not return products without authorization.

8. WARRANTY PRICING EXAMPLE — $1,200 ORIGINAL FARMER PURCHASE PRICE

Assume the original farmer (end user) paid $1,200 for one FLOAT wheel, shown on the original invoice and verified by proof of payment.

Steel wheel, Years 1–3: 100% Covered → farmer pays $0
Steel wheel, Year 4–Lifetime: 70% × $1,200 = $840 covered amount
Steel wheel, if eligible replacement price is $1,200: $1,200 − $840 = $360 farmer product charge
Paddle, Year 1: 100% Covered → farmer pays $0 per approved paddle
Paddle, Year 2–Lifetime: 2% × $1,200 = $24 per approved paddle

For steel wheels in Year 4 onward, the farmer's actual charge depends on the eligible replacement product price; the covered amount cannot exceed that charge. All illustrated prices exclude shipping, handling, and lawfully applicable regulatory surcharges.

Extraordinary Economic Conditions: Published warranty percentages and paddle replacement charges remain in effect under normal conditions. Only in unforeseen, extraordinary circumstances — such as substantial tariff spikes, hyperinflation, major trade restrictions, embargoes, or comparable disruptions materially affecting the financial viability of warranty fulfillment — may Shark Wheel adjust replacement charges or fulfillment fees to the extent reasonably necessary to keep claims financially manageable, subject to applicable law. Adjustments must be related to documented extraordinary costs and disclosed before fulfillment. Ordinary operating-cost increases alone do not justify changes to the published warranty coverage.

9. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY TERMS

Shark Wheel may repair or replace eligible affected components rather than the entire assembly where that adequately restores intended function. To the extent permitted by applicable law, removal and installation labor, equipment downtime, crop loss, lost profits, and indirect or consequential damages are excluded. Nothing limits statutory warranty rights that cannot be waived. Terms applicable at original purchase remain controlling, subject to applicable law.

10. WARRANTY FULFILLMENT, LOGISTICS, AND REGULATORY SURCHARGES

This Limited Lifetime Warranty covers only the cost of the physical replacement parts or materials as determined by Shark Wheel. This warranty explicitly excludes any and all government-imposed tariffs, customs duties, import or export taxes, value-added taxes (VAT), brokerage fees, or administrative customs clearance fees incurred during the sourcing, manufacturing, or international transit of replacement products or components. While the replacement component itself may be provided under the terms of this warranty, all fulfillment logistics are subject to a standard Shipping and Handling Fee, which must be paid in full by the claimant before any items are processed or shipped. Shark Wheel explicitly reserves the right to adjust these fulfillment fees and charge the claimant accordingly in the event of unforeseen trade restrictions, embargoes, hyper-inflation, or any increase in import tariffs that would render the company's 2026 baseline warranty cost calculations unmanageable. The claimant shall be solely responsible for paying any such regulatory surcharges or adjusted logistics fees required to clear and deliver replacement goods under current global economic conditions.

This section applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law and does not eliminate nonwaivable statutory warranty rights.
