believed to be defective and the proof of original purchase (including 
the date of purchase) must be presented to a Cannon® Authorized 
Service Center or to Cannon®’s factory service center in Mankato,

transportation or shipping/freight to/from the Cannon® Authorized 
Service Center or Cannon®’s factory, labor to haul out, remove, re-
install or re-rig products for warranty service, or any similar items are 
the sole and exclusive responsibility of the purchaser. Downriggers
