What does "Lifetime Warranty" actually mean?

When something is advertised as carrying a "Lifetime Warranty", does this mean that the item is warrantied for its lifetime? Does this mean that if it breaks down, it's considered that it's at the end of its life and therefore the warranty expires?

Isn't it the same as saying something is guaranteed to work till it breaks down?

    Though how many times the item break downs the quarantee of free services and repairs still applies for the lifetime. Thus,as long as the company where you bought your item exist and you have the receipt of purchase and certificate of guarantee.

    No, no, no. A lifetime is not for _your_ lifetime, but for the normal life of the product. For many products, that's 5 years. You should check with the manufacturer find out what that means for a particular product.

    It is not worth the paper it is written on, because the company can go out of business tomorrow and your lifetime warranty is out the window.

    Caucasian meant bonestructure and didn't mean white as brown Caucasian were the first Caucasian and they were not European white at all. Christopher meiner changed the definition in the year 1785 to making Caucasian exclusively mean white European while excluding south Asians yet whites use the word Asian to describe Chinese which doesn't make sense as asia has more non white ethnicities other than Chinese.allot of inconsistencies and inadequacies in theorys whites commit.they should stop using that word caucasian.

    Lifetime of the product.......which is 2 to 3 years.....not for your lifetime......the pcb uses solder which is a material that is volatile if heated..... and slowly it degrades......so a device may not last for many years.... ask for your manufacturer to use gold as connector of components and that way your product will last for your lifetime but you have to pay a huge money....

    What it means and what it's supposed to mean are not the same things.

    To me, a lifetime guarantee should be for my lifetime.

    In reality no-one gives that.

    If someone offers such a guarantee, I would request in writing a statement confirming the number of years involved. Only writing presentable in court is sufficient for contractual purposes.

    Lifetime warranty means you have warranties for the item you've bought for all your life, until you are dead.

    Caucasian does not necessarily mean white. The Caucasian race, sometimes called the Caucasoid race, is defined by the Compact Oxford English Dictionary of Current English as "relating to a broad division of humankind covering peoples from Europe, Western Asia (so the Arabs and their near Asian neighbors fell under this category) , parts of the Indian sub-continent and parts of North Africa" or "white-skinned; of European origin" or "relating to the region of the Caucasus in SE Europe". The concept originated in attempts chiefly by 19th c. European thinkers to develop a method of racial classification. This typological method was discredited and the concept is not relied on in scientific work related to humans. However, it survives along with the similar classification "white" on many sociological studies, most of which require respondents to choose their "race" from a list of terms. Some also allow "other" or "mixed". The idea is to use the self-selected classification (sometimes selected by the surveyor by appearance) for correllational studies, sometimes in conjunction with other sciences, especially medicine and public health. People in Europe, especially in Russia and nearby, generally use the term "Caucasian" exclusively to identify people who are from the Caucasus region or who speak the Caucasian languages. also . Caucasian is a word to describe a general racial category of people: Northern/Central Europeans, Eastern Europeans, Mediterraneans, and North African/Middle Eastern people. "White" is really onlly supposed to apply to people from north or Central Europe and eve parts of Russia. The word Caucasian is used incorrectly as the same as "white". I know, the U.S. census says anyone from Europe, north africa, and the middle east is white when in reality this isn't true at all. The census sheets are ****** up cause they clump all Caucasians as whites and then they have endless categories for asians. This isn't fair. I have also never ever met a Middle Eastern person who calls himself/herself white. So, no caucasian isn't white it is more of a broad racial category with other "sub-races".
