Conditions That Must Be Met to Obtain Warranty Coverage
Warranty coverage under this Limited Warranty is available only to retail customers that purchase from a dealer authorized by
Mercury Marine to distribute the product in the country in which the sale occurred, and then only after the predelivery inspection
process specified by Mercury Marine is completed and documented. Warranty coverage becomes available upon proper
registration of the product by the authorized dealer. Inaccurate warranty registration information regarding recreational use or
subsequent change of use from recreational to commercial (unless properly registered) may void the warranty at the sole
discretion of Mercury Marine. Routine maintenance must be performed according to the maintenance schedule in the
Operation, Maintenance, and Warranty manual in order to obtain warranty coverage. Mercury Marine reserves the right to
make any warranty coverage contingent upon proof of proper maintenance.
What Mercury Will Do
Mercury Marine's sole and exclusive obligation under this Limited Warranty is limited to, at our option, repairing a defective part,
replacing such part or parts with new or Mercury Marine certified remanufactured parts, or refunding the purchase price of the
Mercury Marine product. Mercury Marine reserves the right to improve or modify products from time to time without assuming
an obligation to modify products previously manufactured.
How to Obtain Warranty Coverage Under This Limited Warranty
The customer must provide Mercury Marine with a reasonable opportunity to repair and reasonable access to the product for
warranty service. Warranty claims shall be made by delivering the product for inspection to a Mercury Marine dealer authorized
to service the product. A list of dealers and their contact details is available at
http://www.mercurymarine.com.au/home.aspx
the purchaser cannot deliver the product to such a dealer, written notice must be given to Mercury Marine at the address shown
above. Mercury Marine will then arrange for the inspection and any covered repair. This Limited Warranty will not cover the
purchaser for all related transportation charges and travel time. If the service provided is not covered by this limited warranty,
the purchaser shall pay for all related labor and material and any other expenses associated with that service, provided that a
consumer will not be obligated to pay where the service has been carried out to remedy a failure of an acceptable quality
guarantee which is binding on Mercury Marine under the Australian Consumer Law. The purchaser shall not, unless requested
by Mercury Marine, ship the product or parts of the product directly to Mercury Marine. Proof of registered ownership must be
presented to the dealer at the time warranty service is requested in order to obtain coverage under this Limited Warranty.
