Incomplete or unverifiable registrations may not qualify for compensation.

4

The LAUFENN365 DAMAGE GUARANTEE becomes active once the relevant registration has been approved.

The guarantee is valid for one year from the invoice date.

A damage claim may only be submitted after the damage has occurred.

The claim must be submitted through the applicable damage claim form at:

www.laufenn365.com/damage-guarantee

The claim must include all information and documentation requested in the applicable damage claim form.

An incomplete damage claim will not qualify for compensation.

5. Purpose and Scope of the LAUFENN365 Damage Guarantee

The purpose of the LAUFENN365 DAMAGE GUARANTEE is to provide financial protection against accidental damage that renders an eligible tire unusable.

Subject to these Terms and Conditions, eligible damage includes:

  • Punctures
  • Cuts

To qualify for compensation, the tire must be determined to be technically beyond repair.

6. Exclusions from Guarantee Coverage

The LAUFENN365 DAMAGE GUARANTEE does not cover:

  • Mounting, dismounting or balancing costs for the damaged tire or replacement tire,
  • Damage caused by fire or hydrocarbons,
  • Damage resulting from incorrect installation, improper use or abusive use,
  • Noise, vibration, wear, handling or drivability-related issues,
  • Theft or attempted theft,
  • Financial losses suffered during or following tire damage,
  • Quotation or replacement costs incurred without the prior approval of Hankook or a company acting on behalf of Hankook,
  • Tires showing abnormal wear resulting from use that does not comply with applicable operating standards, including load capacity and speed index,
  • Tires with wear exceeding the applicable legal limits, for example a remaining tread depth below 1.6 mm, where applicable,
  • Damage to the vehicle or damage caused to third parties,
  • Damage caused by natural disasters,
  • Tires involved in a road traffic accident,
  • Damage caused by vandalism,
  • Tires that cannot be identified by their DOT number,
  • Retreaded, remoulded or regrooved tires,
  • Laufenn tires with an On & Off tread pattern.

7. Damage Claim and Assessment Process

The LAUFENN365 DAMAGE GUARANTEE is valid for one year from the invoice date, provided that the tire was registered before the damage occurred.

When submitting a damage claim, all required information and documentation must be provided in full.

The purchase must be supported by a valid invoice uploaded to the LAUFENN365 website.

The invoice must include the relevant tire specifications, including tire size, pattern, LI/SS and DOT number.

Hankook reserves the right to inspect the damaged tire within one month of receiving the relevant information.

Incomplete claims, or claims where the tire cannot be identified by its DOT number, will not qualify for compensation.

Claims submitted without prior registration and approval of the purchase invoice will not be accepted.

8. Compensation Rates

Following technical assessment, if the damaged tire is determined to be beyond repair, the compensation amount will be calculated based on the purchase invoice value excluding taxes and tire mounting costs.

The applicable compensation rate is determined according to the period in which the tire is damaged:

Time Period from the Invoice Date Compensation Rate Basis of Calculation
01–30 days 100% Invoice registered in the LAUFENN365 system
31–120 days 80% Invoice registered in the LAUFENN365 system
121–180 days 60% Invoice registered in the LAUFENN365 system
181–270 days 40% Invoice registered in the LAUFENN365 system
271–365 days 20% Invoice registered in the LAUFENN365 system

The calculation is based on the invoice uploaded for the LAUFENN365 DAMAGE GUARANTEE.

 

9. Payment Process

Once the damage claim has been reviewed and approved by Hankook, and provided that the claim meets the applicable eligibility and exclusion requirements, payment will be made to the eligible beneficiary/end user within 8–10 weeks.

The financial compensation will be calculated based on the end user’s purchase price as evidenced by the invoice uploaded to the website.

10. General Provisions

The LAUFENN365 DAMAGE GUARANTEE ends or does not apply:

  • Upon expiry of the one-year guarantee period,
  • If the tire disappears or is destroyed,
  • If the tire cannot be identified by its DOT number,
  • If the claim is incomplete,
  • If the purchase invoice was not registered and approved before the damage occurred,
