Question about Warranty

[bvanant]

Several years ago, we bought two Akona roller duffel bags. This was when Akona had a "lifetime" warranty on their products. Now the warranty is only two years. I wanted to have a bag that we bought when the warranty was "lifetime" repaired but was told that it could not be since it was out of warranty. Is this the official policy? If I had known at the time when the warranty changed, I would have had the bag repaired then. I like the bags but they rust quite easily and zippers continue to fail fairly regularly and would like them to be repaired.

thanks
Bill
