• At West Marine' s option, we will repair the product or, if we are unable to repair it, we will replace it with a comparable product that is new or
refurbished;
• Or, as an alternative, at West Marine' s option, we will refund you the original purchase price;
• If we repair or replace the product, we will return the repaired or replacement product to you; and
• Pay to ship the repaired or replacement product to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions
and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the product to you freight collect.
• If we determine that the problem is not covered under this warranty, we will notify you of this when we return your product to you to the address
you provide us in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories).

Refurbished parts and systems are parts or systems that have been returned to West Marine, some of which were never used by a
customer. Replacement parts and systems are covered for the remaining time left in the Limited Warranty Term for the product you bought
(whatever time remains in the twelve months since purchase). West Marine owns all parts removed from repaired products.
