What do you mean? It was lifetime - lasted for the lifetime of the product.

Ohhh you thought they meant YOUR lifetime! Ooopsies

If you read the fine print, many "lifetime" warranties are like this too. They mean the "lifetime of the product" which is usually defined in the same fine print as like, 5 years or some other bullshit timespan.

It can be your lifetime, if that's shorter.

With physical products it can be the "reasonable lifetime" of that class of product
