They have their terms and conditions, much like other companies that offer powertrain warranties with their FI kits. If you want the benefits, you have to play by their rules. Documented invoices/receipts at a shop are a little better than "I'm ASCII certified, trust me that I installed it on this date in my garage and didn't pay some guy on craigslist who claims he does these all the time"
Its all about limiting liability while still offering a powertrain warranty that some people will take advantage of. The guy who does not know how to install it or have the time chooses to have a shop do it. This same guy would not be you/me who chooses to install themselves, however we will give up any powertrain warranty because it was not documented at a shop... and to be honest, anything could go during the install. Not saying you wouldn't be careful and do it correctly, but its easier to point the finger when you don't have a papertrail of a shop that you can hold responsible for bungling the install.
The fact that they are offering a warranty under specific conditions should be praised IMO.
