ExxonMobil warrants its automatic transmission fluids to be free from defects and that the fluid you purchased will protect your vehicle's critical transmission from lubricant related failure.
Be advised that if your vehicle is covered by a warranty, you should follow the vehicle's automatic transmission fluid change interval recommended in your owner's manual to avoid a disruption in your vehicle warranty. Follow your owner's manual if the vehicle is operated in any of the following severe services: racing or commercial applications including taxis, limousines, etc.; frequent towing or hauling; extremely dusty or dirty conditions; or under excessive idling conditions.

ExxonMobil will replace any Mobil-branded automatic transmission fluid that is defective. In addition, if there is equipment failure due to the fluid you purchased, and the transmission was serviceable at the time the fluid was installed, ExxonMobil will repair any equipment damage directly caused by a defect or malfunction of the fluid, at no cost to you, provided that the fluid was selected and maintained in accordance with specifications of the OEM or the written instructions (which includes product packaging) of ExxonMobil.
I think Dave is quite reasonable to expect something similar from Valvoline.
Which essentially mirrors the statement by Valvoline corporate (per NAPA?) but I'm talking about on the bottles themselves.
It definitely doesn't mirror what Dave quoted from Valvoline in the OP however.
Of course, but would this default answer really bee all that surprising?
