Riot kayaks Warranty agreement

The kayak you have purchased has met Riot kayaks quality standards inspection requirements. However, as every kayak is subject to wear and tear, should you need any technical
assistance or replacement parts we invite you to communicate with your dealer of origin or to consult www.riotkayaks.com where you will find most of the information you may require
BEFORE returning the kayak.

1. The warranty agreement is applicable to the original retail consumer only, it is not transferable, nor does it cover any commercial use such as: pro-deals, rentals, educational, training,
or those kayaks identified as demo, seconds, blems, institutional or K2. The warranty does not cover kayaks damaged during transport. The determination of exclusion of warranty coverage
is at the discretion of the manufacturer.

2. The warranty agreement requires that the manufacturer receives the Warranty Registration Form within 30 days from the original date of purchase. For a claim to be processed it MUST
be accompanied by the original proof-of-purchase including the model and serial number of the kayak, relevant photos of the problem area, and the completed claim form (available on the
website) describing the mishap. Only upon receipt of these completed documents will an authorization number be issued by the manufacturer. Please note: no other number or process
will be accepted by the manufacturer.

3. The warranty agreement excludes products which have been damaged by negligence, misuse or accident, or wear due to owner’s failure to provide reasonable and necessary
maintenance. Products which have been modified or repaired by unauthorized persons, structurally altered in any way (not withstanding sanding, cutting walls and outfit components,
drilling holes and altering original hull shape or modifying seat attachment to the hull) or have been subjected to stress beyond the physical limit of the material are also excluded from
the warranty agreement. The following are not covered at any time by this warranty: scratches and perforation due to rocks or hard surfaces such as concrete and asphalt; warping
(deformation of the hull) caused by extended exposure to the sun or heat, or by having tied the kayak too tightly or nesting it in an improper position; change in appearance of the kayak
due to wear, over-exposure to sun, heat, or any other environmental condition.

4. The warranty agreement excludes all shipping costs to and from the appointed place of repair/replacement. The manufacturer will not accept merchandise without the manufacturers
authorization return number clearly identified on the
outer packaging and proof of pre-paid freight in and out of the factory. The manufacturer reserves the right to return merchandise to its owner, at the owner’s expense (COD) if the above
conditions have not been met. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages incurred in transport, storing fees, or inconvenience or loss of time/money while the claim is being
processed and repairs or restoration are being effected.

5. The warranty agreement obliges the manufacturer only during the period of coverage (begins on the date of the original warranty activation and expires at the end of the original
warranty period specified on the warranty registration form) to repair or replace, at its discretion, the defective parts at either its manufacturing plant or through a designated, authorized
dealer’s store. The manufacturer reserves the right to change the product or design without incurring any obligation to incorporate such changes in previously available products.

This warranty applies only in the United States and Canada. In all other countries, the appointed distributor is solely responsible to administer the warranty according to governing by-
laws and corporate policies. The enclosed warranty registration form and the present document are the sole and exclusive warranty recognized by the manufacturer in connection with
the purchase and use of one of its products. Riot kayaks makes no warranties or representations expressed or implied (including warranties of merchantability and of fitness for a
particular purpose) in such connection except as specifically set forth in this warranty. The company is not liable for any injury or damage to persons or property sustained as a result
of the use of kayaks manufactured by Riot kayaks. The user of any kayak manufactured by Riot kayaks acknowledges and assumes any and all risks associated with the use of kayaks
and waives any and all claims against Riot kayaks, its agents and assignees. By filling out and submitting the warranty registration form, the owner of the product acknowledges that
he has read and understood the Owner’s Manual and warranty agreement, and that he recognizes that due to the nature of the activity the product is intended for, Riot kayaks, its
owners, employees, and associates can not be held liable for any injuries or mishaps sustained in the use of a kayak manufactured by Riot kayaks. All incidental and/or consequential
damages are excluded from this warranty agreement. Implied warranties are limited to the life of the warranty (as specified in the warranty registration form). Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights which may
