No warranty coverage is provided for defects not reported to Crownline within
the applicable warranty period.
c.
Crownline must be given written notice within thirty (30) days from the date
the defect was or should have been discovered. Notice must be sent to:

Crownline will not repair any condition or replace any parts: (1) if use of the
boat is continued after the defect is or should have been discovered; and (2) such
continued use causes other or additional damage.
e.
PURCHASER must deliver the boat at the PURCHASER’S expense to
Crownline (at the above address) or to such other authorized facility as Crownline in
its sole discretion may direct. PURCHASER must pay the freight for return of the
boat to PURCHASER from the specified location after inspection and repair or
replacement has been completed.
9.
Crownline will discharge its obligations under this warranty as rapidly as
possible, but cannot guarantee any specified completion date due to the different
nature of claims that may be made and services that may be required.
10.
If the Crownline boat owner believes a claim has been denied in error or that
Crownline or its dealer has performed the warranty work in an unsatisfactory manner,
the owner must notify Crownline’s Customer Service Department in writing at the
address listed in paragraph 8c. above for further consideration. Crownline will then
review the claim and take appropriate follow-up action.
11.
By accepting delivery of the boat covered by this limited warranty, the
PURCHASER and any subsequent owner of the boat agree as follows:
ANY LAWSUIT OR ARBITRATION REQUEST FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY
(EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) AGAINST CROWNLINE MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE
(1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION HAS ACCRUED (REGARDLESS OF
THE TIME REMAINING IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD). ANY LAWSUIT MUST BE
FILED IN FRANKLIN COUNTY, ILLINOIS. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE
BETWEEN THE BOAT OWNER AND CROWNLINE INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY DISPUTE ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY, THE BOAT AND COMPONENT PARTS COVERED BY THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY AND/OR THE SCOPE OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT UNDER
THIS PARAGRAPH 11, EITHER THE BOAT OWNER OR CROWNLINE MAY
CHOOSE TO HAVE SUCH DISPUTE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION BY
THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM UNDER ITS CODE OF PROCEDURE
THEN IN EFFECT. THE ELECTION TO ARBITRATE MAY BE MADE AT ANY TIME
BY EITHER PARTY MAILING OR PERSONALLY DELIVERING WRITTEN NOTICE
OF SUCH ELECTION TO THE OTHER PARTY BUT NO LATER THAN THIRTY (30)
DAYS AFTER THE ELECTING PARTY’S RECEIPT OF SUMMONS IN THE EVENT
A LAWSUIT IS FILED BY THE OTHER PARTY.
