HOW IT WORKS
1.  Consumer must mail the completed 

warranty.

2.  If you have a warranty claim, call our 

Customer Service Department at the 

number indicated above.

•  Be prepared to provide the 

following information: Proof of 

purchase, date and place of 

purchase and original purchase 

price.

•  Boat serial number (engraved on 

starboard bow and stern), model, 

color and hatch configuration.

•  Consumer name, address and 

phone number.

•  Detailed description of the 

problem.

3.  Johnson Outdoors strives to give 

warranty claims top priority to 

ensure timely processing and 

resolution. We may ask you to 

contact your original dealer and/or 

send us the defective product at our 

cost. If the product is to be returned 

to the factory, our Customer Service 

Department will issue a return 

authorization number. 

•  Affix this number to the product 

along with your dealer name and 

contact person. 

•  Do not return any product to 

the factory without a return 

authorization number. 

•  Return products in the original 

packing material or equivalent. 

Include a note of explanation 

inside the package regarding the 

reason for the return, contact 

information and desired action.

4.  Warranty on a replacement boat is 

void until Johnson Outdoors receives 

from the dealer the serial number 

cut outs from the defective boat. The 

warranty period for a repair, and 

the related product, shall be only 

the remaining portion of the original 

warranty period applicable to such 

product.

WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT 

COVER
There is NO WARRANTY, and no portion 

of warranty expense will be reimbursed 

when:

•  Product has ever been used for 

commercial use (except for Ocean 

Kayak rental/demonstration/resort/

outfitter — for the time frame outlined 

under “How Long Coverage Lasts”).

•  Product is determined by Johnson 

Outdoors to have been subjected to 

unusual or abnormal use, misuse, 

abuse, negligence, accidents, normal 

wear and tear, damage due to 

environmental or natural elements, 

failure to follow Johnson Outdoors’ 

instructions, unauthorized repair, 

incorrectly performed maintenance 

or repair, improper installation, or 

storage.

•  Product is determined to have been 

used for any activity other than an 

activity that is customary for this 

type of product.

•  Claim is made by any party other 

than the original purchaser of a 

product.

•  Product was damaged while in 

possession of freight carrier, dealer, 

Consumer or any party other than 

Johnson Outdoors.

•  Product was modified.

•  Product was not manufactured by 

Johnson Outdoors.

•  Product was manufactured to 

Consumer’s, dealer’s or other third 

party’s specifications.

•  Product has not been registered and 

completed warranty registration form 

has not been returned to Johnson 

Outdoors in the time period required.

In order for this warranty to apply, 

Consumer must retain and provide to 

Johnson Outdoors receipts showing 

date of product purchase and 

documented proper maintenance. 

Any oral or written description of the 

products is for the sole purpose of 

identifying the products and shall not 

be construed as express warranty. 

Prior to using the products, Consumer 

shall determine the suitability of the 

products for the intended use and 

Consumer assumes all risk and liability 

in connection therewith. 

JOHNSON OUTDOORS SHALL NOT BE 

LIABLE TO CONSUMER, OR TO ANYONE 

CLAIMING UNDER CONSUMER, FOR ANY 

OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES, 

INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO; 

OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ARISING 

OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT OR 

WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER 

TORT OR ANY THEORY OF STRICT 

LIABILITY, WITH RESPECT TO THE 

PRODUCTS OR JOHNSON OUTDOORS’ 

ACTS OR OMISSIONS OR OTHERWISE. 

THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES DESCRIBED 

HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU 

OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES. 

FOR COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS, 

ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW, 

INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION 

THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 

MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A 

PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE DISCLAIMED 

AND SHALL NOT APPLY. FOR CONSUMER 

PRODUCTS, WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY 

LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION 

THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND 

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, 

ARE EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE PERIOD 

OF THE WARRANTY STATED ABOVE FOR 

THE RELEVANT PRODUCT. Some states 

do not allow limitations on how long an 

implied warranty lasts, so the above 

limitation may not apply to you.

Any assistance Johnson Outdoors 

provides to or procures for Consumer 

outside the terms, limitations or 

exclusions of this warranty will not 

constitute a waiver of the terms, 

limitations or exclusions of this limited 

warranty, nor will such assistance 

extend or revive the warranty. Johnson 

Outdoors will not reimburse Consumer 

for any expenses incurred by Consumer 

in repairing, correcting or replacing 

any defective products, except those 

incurred with Johnson Outdoors’ prior 

written permission.

LIMITATION ON DAMAGES
IN NO EVENT SHALL JOHNSON 

OUTDOORS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, 

COMPENSATORY, PUNITIVE, 

CONSEQUENTIAL INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR 

OTHER DAMAGES. JOHNSON OUTDOORS’ 

AGGREGATE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO 

A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT SHALL BE LIMITED 

TO AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO CONSUMER’S 

ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE PAID FOR 

THAT DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. Some states 

do not allow the exclusion or limitation of 

incidental and consequential damages so 

the above limitation or exclusion may not 

apply to you.

HOW DOES STATE LAW APPLY?
This warranty gives you specific legal 

rights, and you may also have other 

rights which vary from state to state. It is 

the express wish of the parties that this 

Agreement and any related documents 

be drafted in English.
