Classic Insulated Lifetime Guarantee
Updated 8/25/2023
Tervis will replace products from our classic double-walled plastic line of drinkware that we confirm to have defects in material or workmanship. Items damaged due to improper care, abuse or normal wear and tear (e.g., fading, scratching, staining) will not be replaced. The Tervis Lifetime Guarantee does not apply to accessories, non-tumbler limited edition products, or to the functionality of software-based products, such as the Tervis Augmented Reality mobile application.
Classic insulated tumblers that we deem to be defective in workmanship will be replaced on a ‘like for like’ basis only, meaning a sports team tumbler will be exchanged for a tumbler of the same size and design.

Popular Questions
“Lifetime” specifically refers to the time at which, through normal use, the product can no longer function in its intended purpose, not the lifetime of the person using the tumbler.
Normal wear and tear refers to conditions which the product is exposed to during its intended use. Expect “normal wear and tear” when you are taking tumblers with you to the beach or on the boat or camping or after normal everyday use at home. “Normal wear and tear” assumes that you’re washing your drinkware after use.
Our guarantee covers failure of materials or workmanship. So, if anything accidentally slipped by our quality inspection, we’ll make it right.
Excessive wear and tear, abuse, misuse, or neglect is not covered by our warranty.
Tervis physically examines Classic drinkware returned for replacement to verify that there was a failure in materials or workmanship.
Let’s say you find a Tervis product at a yard sale. Since you weren’t the person who originally purchased it, you bought it on the secondary market. Our guarantee is for products we sell to you.
Not really, but there are some other considerations: We reserve the right to limit and/or refuse the replacement of tumblers based on but not limited to the above conditions.
