I have several red dot sights built by Ultradot. I had one fail. Their warranty says "if we can't repair, we will replace" . The company changed owners but continues to use the Ultradot and name and still advertises the same quarantee , "Lifetime Warranty". Here is the correspondence I have received so far.
Hi Dennis,
Your sight was received for repair on 7/18/19. As stated in our phone conversation, prior to you sending the sight in, there was a possibility that we would not be able to make repairs as this sight is not our product and was produced and sold to you by a different company other than Ultradot, LLC.
In the past, we were able to acquire parts before AAL Optics went out of business to help customers that needed their sights repaired. Those parts were exhausted many years ago and changes/improvements have since been made making repairs, as a courtesy and at a cost to the customer, no longer available.
Your AAL Optics sight would need the windage and elevation assemblies replaced which is one of the major changes Ultradot made many years ago (smaller in size with click adjustments)
Again, Ultradot, LLC will not be able to help with repairing your sight in any capacity. Please let me know if you would like us to send your sight back to you or discard for you. If you would like us to send it back, the check for $15.00 will be deposited. If you wish for us to discard the sight, we will destroy the check as well.
Please let me know how you would like us to proceed.

I understand you can't repair it. My guarantee, and indeed, your current guarantee state that you will replace if you can't repair. When you aquire a company, you aquire their liabilities as well as their assets The guarantee on my sight is a liability you aquired. Had you closed the company and changed the name to something other than Ultradot, you might have shed that liability. You chose to continue trading on the reputation and name of Ultradot. You owe me a sight. Please give this some thought and respond.
