5 - Procedures for Standard and Extended Warranty Repairs and Replacements

To be eligible for warranty repair or replacement, Buyer must notify Raymarine within thirty (30) days of discovering any defect in materials or workmanship that impacts the performance of the Product in accordance with the Specification.

Before Buyer can return a Product under warranty, Buyer must first obtain a notification number from Raymarine through the Raymarine customer portal at: https://customer.Raymarine.com/Repairs. To obtain the notification number Buyer must provide an original proof of purchase and Product serial number. Buyer is solely responsible for complying with all Raymarine instructions including, but not limited to adequately packaging the Product for shipment to Raymarine and for all packaging and shipping costs. Buyer can select the “Use FLIR Courier” shipping service when booking a warranty repair on the Raymarine customer portal, to which shipping costs will not be charged to the Buyer if the Product is proved to be within a qualifying warranty period. Raymarine will pay for returning to Buyer any Product that Raymarine repairs or replaces under warranty.

Be sure to remove all accessories and personal information (such as chart cards and sun covers) from the Product being returned. Raymarine accepts no responsibility for lost accessories returned with your Product. Ensure all data (such as waypoints) is backed-up. Securely re-package the Product for shipping; and include inside the package, along with the Product being returned, the notification number from the Raymarine Customer Portal.

Raymarine reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether a returned Product is covered by this warranty. If Raymarine determines in its sole discretion that any returned Product is not covered under warranty or is otherwise excluded from warranty coverage, Raymarine may charge Buyer a reasonable handling fee and return the Product to Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, or offer Buyer the option of handling the Product as a non-warranty return.

For complete information on troubleshooting your Product before returning it under warranty, and for information on how to and where to return your Product in the event warranty repair is required, it is recommended to contact your local certified Raymarine Dealer by visiting https://www.Raymarine.com/find-your-local-dealer.

7. Out-of-Warranty and Non-Warranty Evaluation, Service and Repair

Raymarine may, in its sole discretion, agree to evaluate for potential service or repair a Product that is not covered by warranty. For information on obtaining out-of-warranty or non-warranty service or repair, contact your local Raymarine Dealer by visiting https://www.Raymarine.com/find-your-local-dealer or by contacting Raymarine Customer Service at https://www.Raymarine.com/support/repair-warranty-and-returns.

If you need to return your Product to Raymarine, this must be done through the Raymarine Customer Portal at https://customer.flir.com/Repairs. Products must only be returned when you have received a notification number. Be sure to remove all accessories and personal information (such as chart cards and sun covers) from the Product. Raymarine accepts no responsibility for lost accessories returned with your Product. Ensure all data (such as waypoints) is backed-up. Securely re-package the Product for shipping; and include inside the package, along with the Product being returned the notification number from the Raymarine Customer Portal.

Any out-of-warranty or non-warranty service or repair performed by Raymarine comes with a one-year limited warranty covering parts and labour only, which begins as of the date the Product is shipped by Raymarine back to the customer.  Any Product that is sent to Raymarine for evaluation but that is returned to the customer without having been serviced or repaired will be returned in the same condition as it was received, subject to any wear and tear necessary to evaluate the Product and will not receive any warranty coverage of any kind.  Products evaluated but not serviced or repaired are subject to a charge for the time needed to evaluate the Product as requested by the customer, plus the cost of return shipment.

All costs and fees of any out-of-warranty or non-warranty evaluation, service or repair are solely the responsibility of the customer and are due and payable to Raymarine at the time of service. The costs and fees payable are dependent on the type of evaluation, service or repair and will be advised when booking the Product through the Raymarine Customer Portal at https://customer.flir.com/Repairs .

Upon completion of the evaluation of the unit requiring service, the initial cost of the repair advised by the portal may need to be reviewed and Raymarine will contact the customer to discuss in detail and provide a quotation to which the customer can agree to proceed.

If there is no reply to Raymarine communication by the customer within 30 days, then Raymarine will enter a further 30-day grace period. If after this period there has still been no communication from the customer, Raymarine reserve the right to scrap the Product with no chargeable costs or claims accepted.

Raymarine is not responsible for Products that are lost or damaged during shipment and all shipping, insurance and duty costs are the customer’s sole responsibility. Raymarine strongly recommends that you adequately insure any Product that is being returned to Raymarine for an Out-of-Warranty service.
