C. PROCEDURES FOR WARRANTY CLAIM

To receive warranty owner must provide Inmar Inflatables 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 an authorized dealer authorized to service Inmar products. If the purchaser cannot deliver the product to such a dealer, written notice must be given to Inmar. We will then arrange for the inspection and any covered repair. The purchaser, in that case, shall pay for all related transportation charges and/or travel time. If the service provided is not covered by this warranty, purchaser shall pay for all related labor and material, and any other expenses associated with that service. Purchaser shall not, unless requested by Inmar, ship the product or parts of the product directly to Inmar. You must take your boat or claimed defective part with proof of purchase (bill of sale) to an authorized service center for inspection during normal working hours. For the location of the nearest service center you may contact us by telephone (800) 729-1665 or through our web page www.InmarBoats.com or by email to [email protected]. All warranty actions are handled by the service center or dealer.

If unit is deemed non-repairable Inmar may offer a prorated credit based on the remaining amount of warranty. The purchaser will be allowed to use that credit toward a replacement model of similar value.
