Standard Warranty
WARRANTY: Sunstream Corporation (“Company”) warrants its Products for non-commercial and/or non-governmental use for
a period of three (3)* years, in both fresh and salt water, to the original Purchaser (“Purchaser”) against manufacturing defects in all
Product materials and workmanship beginning from date of purchase of the Product from Company** under the following terms and
conditions:
NOTICE REQUIREMENTS AND REMEDIES
: If the Purchaser discovers a defect, the Company, or its authorized Company
dealer or agent, will, at the Company’s option: (1) repair the Product, (2) replace the defective part, or (3) refund the purchase price of
the Product upon confirmation by Company that the Product is defective, provided that the Company receives notice
of the defect from
the Purchaser or Company dealer before the warranty period lapses. Product changes caused by age or environment (such as marine
growth or heat) shall not constitute a defect. Confirmation of the defect shall require that reasonable proof of the defect be provided by
Purchaser to Company or Company dealer, and may include that the Product or part be returned to Company for inspection at
Purchaser’s initial expense. This warranty shall not apply if Company receives notification after the before-stated deadline, regardless
of when the defect occurred or was discovered, and regardless of the reason for the delay in notification. “Notification” shall be deemed
to have occurred when the Purchaser or Company dealer sends written notice to Company by fax or by e-mail and when receipt is
confirmed by Company’s response.
EXCLUSIONS
: This warranty does not apply to damages caused by or due to: (1) accident (including, without limitation,
collision, fire, flood, wind, ice or any other natural disaster or acts of God), abuse, misuse, overloading, out of level or improper boat
loading (i.e.: not fully on, too far on, or crooked on lift), or (2) faulty assembly or installation if such assembly or installation was not
performed by a Company employee or Company dealer. Company is not responsible for determining the weight or dimensions of
Purchaser’s boat, and Purchaser is advised that published boat specifications are often inaccurate. This warranty is void if the Product
has been modified without the permission of the Company or if any Company serial number has been removed or defaced. Normal
maintenance requires an annual inspection of the Product by a Company employee or Company dealer, including bolts, pins, hydraulics,
pump, electronics, and welds and failure to undertake such maintenance may constitute “abuse.” Lift components’ fluid level and
condition, including battery water and acid, SunFluid and strainer cleaning are maintenance items and are not covered by this warranty.
Zincs, ropes, batteries, cosmetic concerns and custom coatings are not covered by this warranty. Batteries supplied by Company that are
maintained in top operating condition by Purchaser are warranted for a period of one (1) year. Underwater light systems and the
DockJock are not warranted for use in brackish or salt water. This warranty does not void or alter any rights the Purchaser may have
against dealers or suppliers of component parts.
SALT WATER REQUIREMENTS AND EXCLUSIONS
maintenance requires that the Purchaser shall attach to the product, maintain and regularly check sacrificial anodes, also known as
prevent electrolysis from damaging the lift metals, and that failure to attach and maintain the zincs constitutes “abuse.” *** Underwater light systems
and the Dock Jock™ personal watercraft lifts are not warranted for brackish or salt water use regardless of zinc use.*
IN
TERNATIONAL WARRANTY

or three (3) months from the date the Product is shipped from Company, whichever occurs first.
***Under normal conditions, zincs should last at least one (1) year. If Purchaser observes that the zincs are deteriorating in a shorter
