A warranty measured by the LIFETIME of the original purchaser against defective workmanship and material defects when used for fishing, in conjunction with a fishing rod & reel with release system, the purpose intended, under normal conditions. Downrigger cable, terminal snaps and any damage resulting from snagging bottom or underwater obstructions void this warranty. Using a monofilament line of any type as a downrigger cable will void this warranty. The warranty period commences upon receipt by Scotty Marine and Fishing Products of the completed factory warranty form. It terminates on the transfer or death of the original purchaser, whichever comes first.
For any service by warranty, the original purchaser must contact an authorized service center (see “Contact a Dealer Near You”) or the Scotty Service Department. You must return the product to the service center or the Scotty factory with prepaid freight. In case of a defect, malfunction or failure to conform, you must return the product to the Scotty factory with freight prepaid; the warrantor will, at their discretion, either repair or replace the product.
The warranty provided here is in place of all other warranties expressed. All other obligations or liabilities, including liabilities for consequential damages, are hereby excluded.
Some states or provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusion may not apply to you.
