EXCLUSIONS:

This limited warranty is void if the direct cause of the need to repair or replace a warranted part is due to owner/operator abuse, neglect, im- proper maintenance, tampering, modification, misuse, alteration, or improper adjustment. Use of parts that are not equivalent to Polaris parts, improper service, or lack of required maintenance which causes the warranted part(s) to fail may constitute abuse and/or improper ser- vice, thereby invalidating warranty liability hereunder. In addition, the use of add–on or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a war- ranty claim.

This limited warranty does not cover damage resulting from accidents, acts of nature, or other events or occurrences beyond Polaris’ control. Polaris expressly disclaims responsibility for any and all consequential damages, such as loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of the water- craft, or commercial loss.
