SeaArk will not repair any condition or replace any part, if the use of the boat is continued after the defect is or should have been discovered; and such continued use causes other or additional damage to the boat or component parts of the boat. Only the dealer should write or call the "Warrantor", SeaArk Boats, Attn: Warranty Manager. SeaArk will then determine whether the claim is covered by this limited warranty and will advise the dealer. The Dealer will contact the SeaArk boat owner regarding instructions for delivery of boat or part for warranty repair if it is covered by the limited warranty. Transportation to and from the manufacturer's facility will be at the buyer's expense. Manufacturer's election to repair or replace the defective product or replace the defective part is the exclusive remedy of the buyer and is a condition precedent to any legal or equitable action against the manufacturer. Should SeaArk Boats elect to replace the entire boat, the replacement boat shall be subject to the remaining duration and conditions of this warranty and not subject to an extended or new warranty unless otherwise provided for by both actual value of the covered item.

PROOF OF PURCHASE:
The federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 provides for the defect notification to first purchasers. Failure to register your boat with the manufacturer constitutes waiver of the right to defect notification. First purchasers are required to register their boats by completing the warranty registration card showing boat serial number, date of sale, selling dealer and complete owner address. The registration card must be completed by the purchaser within 30 days of delivery, and mailed to Seaark Boats at the address noted on page 1. This is a condition precedent to warranty coverage, and since this warranty extends to the original owner you must be prepared to show the ORIGINAL sales receipt and ownership identification when submitting a warranty claim.
SeaArk Boats makes no other warranty of any kind, express or implied. All implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose that exceeds the obligation and the limits stated in the warranty are hereby disclaimed by SeaArk Boats and excluded from this warranty. This warranty is not transferable or amendable.
This warranty may be altered ONLY in Writing by SeaArk Boats and not by a dealership. Any modification or additional statements concerning warranty by persons other than SeaArk personnel are not the responsibility of SeaArk Boats and should not be relied on.
Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you. Also excluded from this warranty are any incidentals or consequential damages including loss of use. Some states so not allow for the exclusion or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state. This warranty shall apply in accordance to the laws of the state of Arkansas.
This document contains the entire warranty given Seaark Boats and there are no terms, promises, conditions or warranties, other than those contained herein. No oral or written information or advice given by SeaArk Boats, its dealers, representatives, agents or employees shall create a warranty by SeaArk boats or in anyway increase the scope of this warranty.
