I believe that this warranty is from the distributor, NOT the manufacturer.
So, if the distributor goes out of business then you no longer have a warranty.
P.O. told me that you simply send them your bad parts and they send you new
ones.  That is about all I know about the deal.

I share your skepticism, but since the price is good, there isn't really
anything to lose.
