LIMITED WARRANTY 

 

Warranty:

 VETUS-Maxwell APAC Ltd (Maxwell) provides a three year limited warranty on all windlasses for 

pleasure boat usage, and a one year limited warranty for those systems used on commercial or charter 
vessels.  Warranty, service and parts are available around the world.  Contact your nearest Maxwell office for 
a complete list of service centres and distributors. 
 

This warranty is subject to the following conditions and limitations:

 

1.  This Warranty will be null and void if 

a.  there is any neglect or failure to properly maintain and service the products. 
b.  the products are serviced, repaired or maintained improperly or by unauthorised persons. 
c.  loss or damage is attributed to any act, matter or omission beyond the reasonable control of 

Maxwell or the purchaser. 

2. 

Maxwell’s liability shall be limited to repair or replacement (as determined by Maxwell) of the goods or 
parts defective in materials or workmanship. 

3.  Determination of the suitability of the product and the materials for the use contemplated by the buyer is 

the sole responsibility of the buyer, and Maxwell shall have no responsibility in connection with such 
suitability. 

4.  Maxwell shall not be liable for any loss, damages, harm or claim attributed to: 

a.  use of the products in applications for which the products are not intended. 
b.  corrosion, wear and tear or improper installation. 
c.  improper use of the product. 

5.  This Warranty applies to the original purchaser of the products only.  The benefits of the Warranty are 

not transferable to subsequent purchasers. 

6.  Maxwell shall not be responsible for shipping charges or installation labour associated with any warranty 

claims. 

7.  There are no warranties of merchantability, fitness for purpose, or any other kind, express or implied, 

and none shall be implied by law.  If any such warranties are nonetheless implied by law for the benefit 
of the customer they shall be limited to a period of three years from the original purchase by the user. 

8.  Maxwell shall not be liable for consequential damages to any vessel, equipment, or other property or 

persons due to use or installation of Maxwell equipment. 

9.  This Warranty sets out your specific legal rights allowed by Maxwell; these may be varied by the laws of 

different countries.  In addition, the purchaser may also have other legal rights which vary from country 
to country. 

10.  To make a claim under this Warranty, contact your nearest Maxwell office or distributor.  Proof of 

purchase and authorisation from Maxwell will be required prior to any repairs being attempted.
