WARRANTY COVERAGE AND EXCLUSIONS: Limitations of Warranties and Remedies

This Polaris limited warranty covers all parts and components except for impeller damage caused by ingestion of rocks, sand, or gravel or any other damage caused by operation in shallow water. The warranty also excludes any other failures that are not caused by a defect in material or workmanship.

Warranty Policy

This warranty does not cover accidental damage, normal wear and tear, abuse or improper handling. This warranty also does not cover any per- sonal watercraft that has been altered structurally, modified, neglected, improperly maintained, used for racing, or used for purposes other than for which it was manufactured, or for any damages which occur during trailer transit or as a result of unauthorized service or the use of unautho- rized parts. In addition, this warranty does not cover physical damage to paint or finish, gel coat stress cracks, tearing or puncturing of uphol- stery material, corrosion, or defects in parts, components or personal watercraft due to fire, explosions or any other cause beyond Polaris’ control.

This warranty does not cover the use of unauthorized lubricants, chemi- cals, or fuels that are not compatible with watercraft. In addition this warranty does not cover stress cracks, submersion, or growth of marine organisms on hull and deck.

WARRANTY

The exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty shall be, at Polaris’ exclusive option, repair or replacement of any defective materials, or components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. POLARIS

SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR INCIDEN- TAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DE- SCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEG- LIGENCE, OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. Some states do not permit the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential dam- ages or implied warranties, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you if inconsistent with controlling state law.

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE ABOVE ONE YEAR WARRANTY PE- RIOD. POLARIS FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS WAR- RANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you if inconsistent with controlling state law.
