Raymarine Global Limited Warranty Policy

Raymarine Global Limited Warranty Policy

Raymarine’s Global Limited Warranty is effective for qualifying products purchased on or after 1st July 2017.

1. Introduction to the Raymarine Global Limited Warranty

Raymarine’s Global Limited Warranty is effective for qualifying products purchased on or after 1st July 2017. Raymarine UK Ltd. and its affiliates (“RAYMARINE”) warrants RAYMARINE products purchased directly from RAYMARINE, from an approved RAYMARINE dealer (visit the Dealer Locator to find and contact your local approved RAYMARINE dealer), or installed on a new vessel by an authorized boat builder, known as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) (the “Products”), to be free from defects in material and workmanship for;

(i) Dragonfly Products for one (1) year (“Dragonfly Limited Warranty Period”); and
(ii) Standard Products for two (2) years (“Standard Limited Warranty Period”); from

(a) the date the Products were first purchased; or (b) in the case of Products installed on a new vessel by an authorized OEM, the date the vessel was first delivered (the “Purchase Date”) to the first retail customer (the “Original Customer”).

All prior RAYMARINE warranty policies, procedures and points of contact are superseded and replaced by this RAYMARINE Global Limited Warranty.

Except for Dragonfly Products, Warranty Replacement Product, Refurbished Product and Products used for regular commercial, military, law enforcement or related purposes, by registering your new Product with RAYMARINE, you can upgrade the 2-year Standard Limited Warranty to a 3-year Extended Limited Warranty at no additional cost.

In some countries and for most Products, RAYMARINE also offers a Warranty Replacement service and On-Board Warranty. These services, when available, are designed to help minimize the down-time of Products that may require warranty repair.

Your Proof of Purchase documentation is important. Please keep it in a safe place. If you need a warranty service your proof of purchase will be required.

RAYMARINE Products are not a substitute for possessing and exercising the independent judgment and skill needed to safely and effectively operate any vessel or engage in any marine activity.


2. Global Limited Warranty Statement

THE LIMITED WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES IN THE GLOBAL LIMITED WARRANTY ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY LIABILITY ARISING UNDER ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE. THIS WARRANTY GIVES THE OWNER SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, WHICH MAY VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

IN NO EVENT SHALL RAYMARINE UK LTD. OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER RESULTING FROM THE USE, MISUSE, INABILITY TO USE, IMPROPER RELIANCE ON, OR FROM ANY DEFECTS IN THE PRODUCT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION ON INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

THE GLOBAL LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT AFFECT A CUSTOMER'S RIGHTS AGAINST A RETAILER ARISING FROM A SALES/PURCHASE CONTRACT.

RAYMARINE, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, RETAINS THE RIGHT TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE PRODUCT, WHICH, IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW TO THE CONTRARY, SHALL BE THE CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY.

PRODUCT REPAIRED OR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WILL BE WARRANTED ONLY FOR THE REMAINING BALANCE OF THE APPLICABLE ORIGINAL DRAGONFLY LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD, STANDARD LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD OR EXTENDED LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD.


3. 1-Year Dragonfly Limited Warranty

Subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the Global Limited Warranty, all Dragonfly Products (including Wi-FISH) are warranted to be free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date the Product was purchased by the Original Customer (the “Dragonfly Limited Warranty Period”). During this period and for the Original Customer, RAYMARINE will, at its sole option, repair or replace any components that fail in normal use.

Dragonfly Products are warranted for leisure use only, which excludes commercial, military, law enforcement or related purposes.

If the Dragonfly Limited Warranty applies to you, RAYMARINE will not charge you for parts or labour for warranty repairs or replacements. However, the cost of transporting your warranted Product to RAYMARINE for repair or replacement is your responsibility and is not covered by RAYMARINE.


4. 2-Year Standard Limited Warranty

Subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the Global Limited Warranty, all RAYMARINE Products are warranted to be free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the date the Product was purchased by the Original Customer (the “Standard Limited Warranty Period”). During this period and for the Original Customer, RAYMARINE will, at its sole option, repair or replace any components that fail in normal use.

If the Standard Limited Warranty applies to you, RAYMARINE will not charge you for parts or labour for warranty repairs or replacements. However, the cost of transporting your warranted Product to RAYMARINE for repair or replacement is your responsibility and is not covered by RAYMARINE.

Some customers may have the option to purchase a Refurbished RAYMARINE Product instead of a new Product, typically at a reduced price. A Refurbished RAYMARINE Product is a product that was repaired or rebuilt and fully tested by RAYMARINE to ensure that it meets all Product performance specifications. A Refurbished RAYMARINE Product may have observable cosmetic blemishes, but such blemishes will in no way affect product performance.

This 2-Year Standard Limited Warranty applies equally to both new Products and Refurbished RAYMARINE Products, except that observable cosmetic blemishes not affecting product performance on any Refurbished Product that a customer chooses to purchase are expressly excluded from warranty coverage.


5. 3-Year Extended Limited Warranty

Subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the Global Limited Warranty, and excluding Dragonfly Products, Warranty Replacement Product, Refurbished Product and Products used for regular commercial, military, law enforcement or related purposes, all new Products registered with Raymarine within ninety (90) days from the date the product was first purchased by the Original Customer are warranted to be free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of three (3) years from the date the Product was purchased by the Original Customer (the “Extended Limited Warranty Period”). During this period and for the Original Customer, RAYMARINE will, at its sole option, repair or replace any Product components that fail in normal use. Upon successful registration of the Product, the 3-Year Extended Limited Warranty replaces the 2-Year Standard Limited Warranty.

If the Extended Limited Warranty applies to you, RAYMARINE will not charge you for parts or labour for warranty repairs or replacements. However, the cost of transporting your warranted Product to RAYMARINE for repair or replacement is your responsibility and is not covered by RAYMARINE.

Dragonfly Products that are covered under RAYMARINE’S 1-Year Dragonfly Limited Warranty (see Section 3 “1-Year Dragonfly Limited Warranty”), Refurbished Products that are covered under RAYMARINE’S 2-Year Standard Limited Warranty (see Section 4, “2-Year Standard Limited Warranty”) and Warranty Replacement Product (see Section 7 “Procedures for Dragonfly, Standard and Extended Limited Warranty Returns, Repairs and Replacements”) are not eligible for the 3-Year Extended Limited Warranty upgrade.
