Some states, or if you live outside the U.S., some countries, do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Separate warranty provisions may be avaliable from vendors on some of the above products. Contact Harken® for this warranty information.

CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARE NOT RECOVERABLE UNDER THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

How To Get Service - If something goes wrong, contact Harken® directly or your local Harken® dealer to arrange for warranty assistance. Your dealer has Harken® Warranty Return Guidelines that provide you with exact return procedures depending on the product involved. We will need, in writing, your name, address, phone number, date of purchase, type of boat, product involved, application, an explanation of the defect, and conditions under which the product was used. We are fair and we do care when Harken® products do not perform.

Warning: Sailing is an exciting sport and calls for judgment and responsible use of sailboats and equipment. Loads can be significant and shock loading from heavy winds and seas can quickly magnify to extremes. Harken encourages all persons selecting, installing or maintaining Harken gear to be cautious and mindful of such loads, and to carefully follow all installation, use and maintenance instructions. Failure to do so may result in grave bodily injury and risk to life.

Any use of Harken® equipment for human suspension must follow a safety factor of 10:1 safe working load to actual load. A secondary safety line of an equivalent safety factor ratio must also be used. We strongly advise that aloft rigging maintenance and installation be left to rigging professionals.
