LIMITED WARRANTY and
KEY TERMS OF SUPPLY BY LEWMAR
Lewmar warrants that in normal usage and with proper maintenance its 
products will conform with their specifi cation for a period of fi ve years 
from the date of purchase by the end user, subject to the conditions, 
limitations and exceptions listed below. Any product, which proves to be 
defective in normal usage during that fi ve-year period, will be repaired 
or, at Lewmar’s option, replaced by Lewmar.
A  CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS
i  Lewmar’s liability shall be limited to the repair or replacement 
of any parts of the product which are defective in materials or 
workmanship.
ii  Responsibility for the selection of products appropriate for the use 
intended by the Buyer shall rest solely with the Buyer and Lewmar 
accepts no responsibility for any such selection.
iii  Lewmar shall not be liable in any way for Product failure, or any 
resulting loss or damage which arises from:
a  use of a product in an application for which it was not designed or 
intended;
b.  corrosion, ultra violet degradation or wear and tear;
c.  a failure to ser vice or maintain the product in accordance with 
Lewmar’s recommendations;
d.  faulty or defi cient installation of the product (unless conducted by 
Lewmar);
e. any modifi cation or alteration of the product;
f.  conditions that exceed the product’s performance specifi cations or 
safe working loads.
iv  Product subject to a warranty claim must be returned to the Lewmar 
outlet which supplied the product for examination unless otherwise 
agreed by Lewmar in writing.
v  This warranty does not cover any incidental costs incurred for the 
investigation, removal, carriage, transport or installation of product.
vi  Service by anyone other than authorised Lewmar representatives 
shall void this warranty unless it accords with Lewmar guidelines 
and standards of workmanship.
vii  Lewmar’s products are intended for use only in the marine 
environment. Buyers intending to use them for any other purpose 
should seek independent professional advice as to their suitability. 
Lewmar accepts no liability arising from such other use.
B  EXCEPTIONS
Cover under this Warranty is limited to a period of one year from the date 
of purchase by the end user in the case of any of the following products 
or parts of products:
•  Electric motors and associated electrical equipment
• Electronic 
controls
•  Hydraulic pumps, valves and actuators
• Weather 
seals
•  Products used in “Grand Prix” racing applications
C LIABILITY
i  Lewmar’s liability under this warranty shall be to the exclusion of 
all other warranties or liabilities (to the extent permitted by law). In 
particular (but without limitation):
a  Lewmar shall not be liable for:
•  Any loss of anticipated turnover or profi t or indirect, consequential 
or economic loss ;
•  Damages, costs or expenses payable to any third party;
•  Any damage to yachts or equipment;
•  Death or personal Injury (unless caused by Lewmar’s negligence).
Some states and countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of 
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion 
may not apply to you.
b  Lewmar grants no other warranties regarding the fi tness for purpose, 
use, nature or satisfactory quality of the products.
ii  Where applicable law does not permit a statutory or  implied warranty 
to be excluded, then such warranty, if permitted by that state or 
country’s law, shall be limited to a period of one year from the date 
of purchase by the end user. Some states and countries do not allow 
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation 
may not apply to you.
D PROCEDURE
Notice of a claim for service under this warranty shall be made promptly 
and in writing by the end user to the Lewmar outlet which supplied the 
product or to Lewmar at Southmoor Lane, Havant, Hampshire, England 
PO9 1JJ.
E SEVERANCE CLAUSE
If any clause of this warranty is held by any court or other competent 
authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity 
of the remaining clauses of this warranty and the remainder of the clause 
in question shall not be affected.
F OTHER RIGHTS
This warranty gives you specifi c legal rights, and you may also have other 
legal rights, which vary, from state to state and country to country. 
In the case of European States a Consumer customer (as defined 
nationally) has legal rights under the applicable national law governing 
the sale of Consumer Goods; this Warranty does not affect those 
rights.
G LAW
This warranty shall be governed by and read in accordance with the laws 
of England or the state or country in which the fi rst end user is domiciled 
at the time of purchase of the product.
H DISPUTES
Any dispute arising under this warranty may, at the option of the end-user, 
be referred to alternative dispute resolution under the rules of the British 
Marine Federation or to the Courts of the State whose law shall govern 
the warranty or to the Courts of England and Wales.
