IMPORTANT
PRODUCT SOFTWARE DISCLAIMER
Product software of all kinds, such as brochures, drawings, technical data, operator's and workshop
manuals, parts lists and parts price lists, and other information, instructions and specifications provided from
sources other than Westerbeke, is not within Westerbeke's control and, accordingly, is provided to Wester-
beke customers only as a courtesy and service. Westerbeke cannot be responsible for the content of
such software, makes no warranties or representations with respect thereto, including the accuracy,
timeliness or completeness thereof, and will in no event be liable for any type of damages or injury in-
curred in connection with, or arising out of, the furnishing or use of such software.
For example, components and subassemblies incorporated in Westerbeke's products and supplied by
others (such as engine blocks, fuel systems and components, transmissions, electrical components, pumps
and other products) are generally supported by their manufacturers with their own software, and Wester-
beke must depend on such software for the design of Westerbeke's own product software. Such software
may be outdated and no longer accurate. Routine changes made by Westerbeke's suppliers, of which
Westerbeke rarely has notice in advance, are frequently not reflected in the supplier's software until after
such changes take place.
Westerbeke customers should also keep in mind the time span between printings of Westerbeke product
software, and the unavoidable existence of earlier, non-current Westerbeke software editions in the field.
Additionally, most Westerbeke products include customer-requested special features that frequently do not
include complete documentation.
In summation, product software provided with Westerbeke products, whether from Westerbeke or other sup-
pliers, must not and cannot be relied upon exclusively as the definitive authority on the respective product.
It not only makes good sense but is imperative that appropriate representatives of Westerbeke or the sup-
plier in question be consulted to determine the accuracy and currency of the product software being con-
sulted by the customer.
