This warranty policy is a legally binding document between you, the buyer, and JDM Florida, operated by JDM TECH LLC (EIN: 26-2144419), located at 2302 Mercator Drive, Suite 101, Orlando, Florida 32807, United States. By completing a purchase on our website at https://jdmflorida.com, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms and conditions set out in this warranty policy in full.
This is a limited warranty, as defined under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq.), a United States federal law governing written warranties on consumer products. This warranty does not meet the standards required for a "full warranty" under the Act, and it is therefore designated as a limited warranty. All products sold by JDM Florida are used, secondhand, and imported Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) automotive components. As such, coverage under this limited warranty is narrowly defined and subject to the specific conditions, exclusions, and procedures described below.
This warranty is available for review on our website prior to purchase in compliance with the E-Warranty Act of 2015 and the FTC's Pre-Sale Availability Rule. It supersedes all prior warranty representations and is the sole written warranty offered by JDM Florida.

All warranty claims, correspondence, and documentation must be directed to JDM Florida using the contact details above.
This limited warranty applies exclusively to the original purchaser of the product — the individual or business entity that completed the transaction directly with JDM Florida through our website or by direct order. This warranty is non-transferable and does not extend to any subsequent owner, buyer, recipient, or third party to whom the product is resold, gifted, assigned, or transferred in any manner. Proof of purchase in the form of the original sales invoice is required to make any warranty claim.
This limited warranty applies to the following used JDM products sold by JDM Florida, subject to the coverage periods and conditions described in this policy:
Used standard replacement engines—Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subaru naturally aspirated engine assemblies sold as standard replacement units.
Used performance engines—turbocharged, supercharged, VTEC, i-VTEC, VVTi, MIVEC, DOHC VTEC, and all other high-performance engine variants, as identified on the product listing and sales invoice.
Used standard replacement transmissions—automatic and manual transmission units sold as standard replacement components for the applicable vehicle make and model.
Used performance transmissions—performance-specification manual and automatic transmission units, as identified on the product listing and sales invoice.

All warranty periods begin on the date of sale as shown on your sales invoice. The invoice date is the definitive start date for all warranty calculations. The warranty periods below apply unless a different term is expressly stated in writing on the product listing or sales invoice, in which case the written invoice term governs.
Used standard replacement engines: 90 days from the date of sale.
Used performance engines (including all turbocharged, supercharged, VTEC, i-VTEC, VVTi, MIVEC, and equivalent configurations): 30 days from the date of sale.

Repairs or replacements carried out under this warranty do not reset, restart, or extend the original warranty period. The warranty period runs from the original date of sale shown on the invoice and does not reset under any circumstances.
During the applicable warranty period, this limited warranty covers internal mechanical components of the engine block and head and internal components of the transmission, specifically:
For engines, covered components include the following internal parts: pistons, piston rings, piston pins, crankshaft, main bearings, connecting rods, rod bearings, camshaft, camshaft bearings, timing chain, timing gears, intake valves, exhaust valves, valve springs, valve seals, valve guides, oil pump, push rods, rocker arms, and rocker shafts. The engine block, cylinder walls, and cylinder head are also warranted to be free of deep cracks or distortions that would otherwise render the engine incapable of operating under the original manufacturer's intended use.
For transmissions, covered components include internal gear sets, shafts, bearings, and synchronizers that are entirely internal to the transmission housing.
This warranty covers only the components listed above and does not extend to any other part, system, or condition not expressly described in this section.
JDM Florida reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to perform pre-sale maintenance procedures on any product before listing it for sale. This may include servicing, repairing, or replacing internal components using rebuilt or serviceable used parts where necessary. This does not affect the warranty coverage described above.
The following items, circumstances, and conditions are expressly excluded from this limited warranty. No warranty claim will be accepted for any of the following:
External engine components: All external parts attached to or supplied with the engine are not covered. This includes, without limitation: intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, carburetors, fuel injection systems, fuel injectors, distributors, coil packs, ignition wires, starters, alternators, emission control devices, air conditioning compressors, power steering pumps, water pumps, oil pumps (external), thermostats, belts, hoses, gaskets, seals, oil pans, valve covers, sensors, solenoids, wiring harnesses, computers (ECU), turbochargers, superchargers, intercoolers, flywheels, clutch assemblies, pressure plates, driveshafts, engine mounts, half shafts, pulleys, and any plastic trim or external housing components. These items are included with the engine for convenience and testing purposes only and are provided free of charge. They are not warranted.
External transmission components: All external parts of a transmission are not covered. This includes torque converters, starters, clutch assemblies, flywheels, flex plates, pressure plates, sensors, solenoids, plugs, switches, wiring, external housings, and any component not entirely internal to the transmission.
Rotary engines: All Mazda rotary engines, including the RX-7 13B, 13BT, 13BTT, 20B, and any other rotary configuration, are sold with no warranty under any circumstances.
Electronic control units (ECUs) and electronics: All ECUs, ignition control modules, and other electronic components are sold with no warranty.
Shipping, freight, and labor costs: Shipping charges to receive the product, return shipping charges for warranty claims, and all labor costs associated with the removal, diagnosis, installation, or reinstallation of any engine, transmission, or part are not covered under this warranty. This exclusion applies without exception.
Improper installation: Any engine or transmission that fails due to improper installation, incorrect fitment, failure to follow manufacturer specifications, or installation not performed by a qualified and experienced mechanic is not covered. It is strongly recommended that all installations be performed by a certified or professional mechanic.
Neglect and failure to perform pre-installation procedures: Failures resulting from neglect of required pre-installation and break-in procedures are not covered. Prior to installation, the customer and their mechanic are responsible for performing an oil system flush, replacing the oil filter, inspecting and replacing the timing belt or chain as applicable, inspecting and replacing coolant, and monitoring oil pressure and coolant temperature during the initial break-in period of 50 to 100 miles following installation.
Overheating, oil starvation, and lubrication failure: Any failure caused by insufficient oil, low oil pressure, oil contamination, coolant loss, overheating, or improper lubrication is not covered.
Misuse, abuse, and racing: Any engine or transmission that has been raced, redlined, subjected to performance modifications, overloaded, or otherwise used in a manner inconsistent with the original manufacturer's intended purpose is not covered. Loss of an engine as a result of competitive racing is not covered.
Modifications: Any engine or transmission that has been modified, altered, or tampered with after delivery is not covered.
Damage during installation: Physical damage, cracks, broken components, or stripped threads caused during installation or removal are not covered.
Cosmetic damage: Surface rust, scratches, scuffs on valve covers, minor corrosion on external housings, and cosmetic blemishes that are normal and expected on used imported engines are not covered and do not affect the performance of the product.
Emission-related failures: JDM Florida will not be responsible for any failure related to emissions compliance, smog test failures, or any regulatory non-compliance associated with the use of our products in any US state. It is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify emissions compliance requirements before purchasing and installing any product.
Consequential and incidental damages: JDM Florida will not be liable for any incidental, consequential, or indirect damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of use, loss of income, loss of time, rental vehicle costs, towing costs, or any other related expense arising from the failure of a product or the inability to use a vehicle.
Products sold as-is: Front clips, exterior parts, interior parts, accessories, and any other items expressly listed on the sales invoice as sold as-is carry no warranty coverage whatsoever.
This warranty is subject to the following conditions. Failure to meet any of the conditions below may result in the partial or full voiding of the warranty at JDM Florida's discretion.
Professional installation is strongly recommended. Engines and transmissions should be installed by a qualified, experienced mechanic. If a warranty claim is submitted, JDM Florida reserves the right to require a certified mechanic's assessment report as a condition of processing the claim. Failure to use a qualified mechanic does not automatically void the warranty, but evidence of improper installation will void coverage for resulting failures.
The engine or transmission must be installed within the warranty period. The product must be installed and the vehicle started during the warranty coverage period. Products that remain uninstalled after the warranty period expires are not eligible for claims.
Pre-installation procedures must be followed. Before starting an installed JDM engine for the first time, the following steps are required: flush and replace all engine oil with fresh oil of the correct specification, replace the oil filter, inspect and service the cooling system, inspect the timing belt or chain and replace if there is any doubt about condition, prime the oil system before the first start, and monitor oil pressure and temperature closely during the first 50 to 100 miles of operation.
The product must not have been modified, razed, or misused. Any evidence of racing, performance modification, or abuse will void this warranty.
All original parts must be retained and returned. In the event of a warranty claim requiring the return of a product, all parts, accessories, and components that were included with the original shipment must be returned. Missing parts will be billed to the customer. The returned item must be in the same condition and configuration as when it was originally shipped, and it must match the original product photographs on file.
Important notice regarding the use of independent repair services and aftermarket parts: In accordance with the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2302(c)), JDM Florida does not and cannot condition this warranty on the consumer's use of any specific brand of service provider, repair shop, or parts supplier. The use of an independent mechanic or non-JDM-branded replacement parts does not void this warranty. However, JDM Florida may deny a warranty claim if it can demonstrate that the failure of the product was directly caused by the use of a defective or incompatible part or by improper service performed by any mechanic, whether certified or otherwise.
All warranty claims must be initiated in writing by email. Claims submitted by phone alone will not be accepted. To begin the warranty claim process, send an email to jdmflorida@gmail.com during the warranty period with the following information:
Your full name and the name on the original order.
Your order number and invoice date.
The product purchased, including the engine or transmission code if known.
A detailed written description of the defect or failure, including when it was first observed and under what conditions.
Photographs and video footage of the defect, clearly showing the affected components.
A written assessment report from a qualified mechanic describing the issue, their findings, and their diagnosis. The mechanic's full name, contact information, and certification or shop registration details must be included. The certifying mechanic cannot be the same individual who purchased the product from JDM Florida.
Proof that all pre-installation procedures were followed, including evidence of a fresh oil fill, oil filter change, and cooling system service.
JDM Florida will review the submitted documentation and respond within a reasonable time. We reserve the right to request additional information or documentation before making a determination. We also reserve the right to arrange an independent inspection of the product by a third-party certified professional at our discretion.
Claim outcomes: If a claim is approved, JDM Florida will, at our sole discretion, either ship a replacement engine or transmission of equal or comparable specification or issue a refund of the original purchase price of the product. JDM Florida does not cover the cost of labor, removal, reinstallation, or any incidental expenses as part of any warranty resolution.
Return of defective product: If a claim is approved and a return is required, the customer is responsible for all return freight charges. The defective product must be shipped back to JDM Florida at 2302 Mercator Drive, Suite 101, Orlando, Florida 32807, in the same condition as when originally received, with all components intact. The act of JDM Florida signing for the returned item at our warehouse does not constitute approval of the warranty claim. The claim is approved only after a completed inspection of the returned product.
No replacement will be shipped until the defective product is received and inspected. In the event that an approved defective product is not returned to JDM Florida within 30 days of a replacement being dispatched, the customer will be charged the full retail price of the replacement product plus all associated freight charges.
If the product is found to be non-defective: If JDM Florida's inspection determines that the returned product is not defective, the customer will be responsible for all freight charges to have the product returned to them.
Engines sold with accessories, including emission control devices, may not comply with the emission control laws of the state in which the engine is being installed. State and federal authorities may require that emission devices from the original vehicle be transferred to the replacement engine to achieve compliance. The cost of those transfers and any related regulatory procedures is the sole responsibility of the customer. JDM Florida is not liable for any emission test failures, smog test failures, or regulatory penalties of any kind.
Buyers in California, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and any other state enforcing California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission standards are specifically advised to verify state-level compliance before completing a purchase. JDM Florida does not sell CARB-certified engines and cannot guarantee compliance with CARB standards or any equivalent state regulation.
Nothing in this limited warranty is intended to, nor shall it, disclaim, eliminate, or limit any implied warranty of merchantability or implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose that arises under applicable state law to the extent such implied warranties cannot be legally disclaimed. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a warrantor who offers a written warranty may not disclaim or modify implied warranties, though the duration of implied warranties may be limited to the duration of the applicable written warranty period set out in this policy, to the extent permitted by law.
Your state may provide you with additional warranty rights beyond those described in this policy. For example, some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties or exclusions of incidental or consequential damages. If you reside in such a state, the relevant limitations and exclusions set out in this policy may not apply to you, and you may have additional legal rights. To understand the specific rights available to you under the laws of your state, we recommend consulting your state attorney general's office or a qualified consumer protection attorney.
Consumers in Florida are protected under the Florida Uniform Commercial Code (Florida Statutes, Chapter 672), which governs implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Those provisions apply to all sales made from our Florida warehouse.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, JDM Florida's total liability under this warranty shall not exceed the original purchase price paid by the customer for the specific product that is the subject of the claim. JDM Florida shall not be liable for any incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive, or special damages of any nature, including but not limited to loss of vehicle use, loss of income, loss of time, towing costs, rental vehicle costs, or any other expense arising out of or related to the failure of any product sold by JDM Florida.
This limitation of liability applies regardless of the legal basis of any claim, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, and survives any failure of the essential purpose of this warranty.
Some states do not permit the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. If you reside in such a state, the above limitation may not apply to you in full.
JDM Florida encourages customers to contact us directly to resolve any warranty dispute before pursuing formal legal action. If you have a question or concern about a warranty claim, please contact us at jdmflorida@gmail.com or by phone at +1 (407) 774-8324 during business hours. We will make reasonable efforts to address your concern in a timely manner.
If an informal resolution cannot be reached, you may have the right to pursue a warranty claim under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in a state or federal court. The act provides a legal remedy for consumers when a warrantor fails to comply with a written warranty. Under the Act, consumers who prevail in a warranty lawsuit may be entitled to recover damages, court costs, and, in some cases, attorneys' fees.
Nothing in this policy limits your right to pursue remedies available to you under applicable federal or state law.

Any disputes not resolved informally shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts in Orange County, Florida, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
