For terms and conditions of the site, please access via the checkout page to read this information that our e-commerce provider may collect and any other applicable details that you, the site user, should be aware of before using the

What is covered?

  • The candle itself, along with its accompanying assembly hardware, comprises an electronic cylinder housing the proprietary WindowCandles equipment. Metal prongs extend from the base of the candlestick to power the mounting clip installed in the window sill. The top of the cylinder provides a low-voltage socket that houses our special WindowCandles bulbs.
    • For a period extending from the point of purchase to ten years thereafter, if the candlestick fails to function, customers are entitled to a full replacement, with only shipping costs being their responsibility. However, if the candle ceases to function within six months of purchase, it will be replaced free of charge. Nevertheless, if the candle sustains damage due to actions by the customer, it may not qualify for warranty repair or replacement under the following circumstances:
      • The metal prongs on the candle are broken, damaged, misaligned, or destroyed.
      • The lower proprietary clip-style mold of the cylinder is broken, damaged, misaligned, or destroyed.
      • Discoloration of the candle due to exposure, without the protection of a wax or plastic sleeve.
      • The candle exhibits scratches, dents, chips, or has been altered with ink or other coloring methods that do not match the original color.
      • Improper removal of the lower proprietary clip-style mold by the customer, resulting in exposure of internal wiring and dislocation of soldering.
      • Any other damages inflicted by the customer that would void warranty eligibility.
  • The wire
    • If the wire itself and not its cardboard housing unit arrives damaged, ripped, cut, or destroyed, it is eligible for a refund or replacement free of charge.
    • If incorrect wiring is utilized by the customer, installer, or any other service technician, the warranty for the entire system will be nullified. Please avoid engaging with unreliable or inadequately reviewed installers or contractors. It's crucial to ensure that our components are exclusively employed within our system.
  • The mounting hardware
    • If the mounting hardware arrives with missing parts or arrives damaged or destroyed, it will be replaced free of charge.

What is not covered?

  • Damage caused by acts of God, such as fire, flood, or earthquake
  • Damage caused by power surges
  • Damage caused by the user, such as dropping the candle or breaking the metal contact prongs
  • Damage caused by lightning
  • Transformers
    • Transformers that arrive at the place of installation that are confirmed to have been tested and defective BEFORE installation are eligible for a replacement. Otherwise, there are no returns on transformers.

Compatibility Policy

Not all WindowCandles products are compatible with each other. We clearly display this information throughout our site.

  • Wax sleeves: Not all wax sleeves are compatible with all bases. No wax sleeves are compatible with square bases or any cap. Please contact us if you want to make sure the wax sleeves work with a particular base.
  • Bulbs: Absolutely no other bulb will work properly with the Window Candle stick. The candle is designed to detect a foreign bulb and stop producing light to prevent fires and/or damage to the candle stick. By using any other bulb except for our exclusive WindowCandles product line of incandescent or LED bulbs, you are violating your limited lifetime warranty and will not be compensated for damage or destruction caused to your candlestick by using incorrect bulbs.
  • Wire: By using any other wire other than the official WindowCandles yellow wire, you are violating your warranty and will not be compensated for damage or destruction caused to your system by using incorrect wire.
  • Transformer: By using any other transformer other than the official WindowCandles transformers WC50VA, WC4Z (old), WC4Z (new), WC8Z (discontinued), or WC9Z, you are violating your warranty and will not be compensated for damage or destruction caused to your system by using incorrect transformers.
  • Mounting hardware: By using any other type of mounting hardware other than the official WindowCandles mounting hardware, you are violating your warranty and will not be compensated for damage or destruction caused to your system by using incorrect hardware.

If you have any questions about compatibility, please contact us.
