When the majority of the 47's accessories and parts were never clearanced I thought that was a good sign that the warranties would be honored. However many of those same components are now on a certain auction site.There's no mention yet of how Fourseven's previous excellent warranty will be treated, but many folks believe that, to use the valuable marketing assets of the old name/trademark, one should also bear the liability of the old warranties. Here is an example (in another industry) of cherry-picking assets that turned a dedicated/loyal customer base off. Hope Jason can avoid something similar.

Personally, I've been very happy with the durability and reliability of my Fourseven collection, and that's why they have rec'd most of my flashlight dollars.
There would be no warranty on items purchased from a 3rd party. Typically how it was if You bought direct, the warranty was direct, If You bought through a dealer, warranty was through that dealer. You are correct in stating that any of the final clearance sales were all sold "All Sales Final", with no warranty. All warranty work typically required proof of purchase(an order invoice from your FourSevens account) to obtain an RMA# for warranty repair.When the majority of the 47's accessories and parts were never clearanced I thought that was a good sign that the warranties would be honored.

I'm not saying items sold either on clearance or by a 3rd party should have warranties; my thought process is that parts and accessories are important to fulfilling warranty claims.There would be no warranty on items purchased from a 3rd party.

I'm sure Jason is working on this and many other aspects.
It is good to voice your questions and concerns.
They will be addressed and worked out through future announcements.
