5 Year Warranty (EU)
At Yakima we pride ourselves on ensuring that all our products are designed,
tested and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Additionally, all
Yakima products sold in the EU have a 5 year warranty
I. Covered Goods and Scope
Yakima will warranty load carrier systems, roof boxes and accessories produced by Yakima and
sold under the brand name Yakima up to five years from the date of the delivery of the product to the
original retail purchaser to be free from defect in materials or workmanship.
Subject to the limitations and exclusions below, Yakima will remedy defects in material or
workmanship during the warranty period, by repairing or replacing (at Yakima’s option) the defective
component(s) without charge for parts or labor to the original purchaser. The original retail purchaser
will be responsible for the cost of returning the component(s)/product(s) to the original Yakima retailer.
In order for any remedies to be considered under this warranty, proof of purchase in the form of an
original purchase invoice or receipt is strictly required.
II. Transfer of the Warranty
The warranty is only issued to the original retail purchaser and is not transferable.
III. Limitation of Warranty Claims
No warranty is given for defects resulting from conditions beyond Yakima’s control including, but
not limited to, normal wear and tear, misuse, overloading, modifications or repairs not performed or
authorized by Yakima, or from failure to assemble, mount or use the load carrier or accessory(s) in
accordance with written Yakima instructions, guidelines and safety text.
Further, no warranty is given for defects caused by accidents, unlawful vehicle operation, or defects in
the vehicle upon which the product is installed.
In addition, no warranty is given for defects caused by the users’ failure to properly secure cargo as
recommended by Yakima.
Repair or replacement of the defective Yakima product is the original purchaser’s exclusive remedy
under the warranty. All consequential and incidental damages are excluded under this warranty.
Damage to the user’s vehicle, cargo or to any other person or property is excluded.
IV. Unaffected Statutory Claims
The above provisions do not restrict the purchaser’s or third parties’ statutory rights according to the
relevant compulsory national law. Nor do they affect the purchaser’s right towards the dealer from the
purchase contract concluded between the two parties. In particular this shall apply for warranty rights
according to the applicable national law which remain in full, apart from the fact that the warranty
case occurs and the warranty is claimed or not.
V. Contacts to Yakima
For any specific questions about the Yakima warranty, please contact the nearest Yakima dealer or the
dealer where the product was purchased. Information about dealers can be found on www.Yakima.
