Does the Warranty Cover Accidental Damage?

Last Updated on October 6, 2025

No, warranty generally does not cover accidental damage. Warranty policies typically cover defects in materials, workmanship, or manufacturing errors—issues that arise from faults in the product itself, not from external factors or misuse.

What Warranty Usually Covers:

  • Manufacturing defects: Issues with the product that arise from faulty assembly or material flaws.
  • Mechanical failure: If the product stops working due to a defect or malfunction that’s not caused by improper use.
  • Performance issues: If the product doesn’t perform as described due to a fault in the design or materials.

What Warranty Does Not Cover:

  • Accidental damage: For example, dropping a product, spilling liquids on it, or any other form of unintentional damage caused by external factors.
  • Misuse or improper handling: If the product is used for purposes other than what it was intended for, or if it’s handled improperly (e.g., using an industrial tool incorrectly).
  • Wear and tear: Normal wear and tear from regular usage, such as battery degradation, worn-out parts, etc.

For accidental damage, manufacturers or sellers typically have separate insurance or protection plans that you might need to purchase if you want coverage beyond the standard warranty.

It’s always important to check the specific warranty terms for your product on the Industrybuying website or the product’s documentation for precise coverage details.

If you’re concerned about accidental damage, you may want to inquire about additional protection plans or extended warranties that can offer coverage for such issues.
