9.  WARRANTY
Marine Products Limited Warranty
STANDARD HORIZON (a division of VERTEX STANDARD) warrants, to the
original purchaser only, each new Marine Communications Product (“Prod-
uct”) manufactured and/or supplied by STANDARD HORIZON against de-
fects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a
period of time from the date of purchase as follows:
3 years Waterproof - if purchased after 01/01/94
Associated Chargers
3 years - if purchased after 01/01/91
Associated Batteries - 1 year. Note: Batteries will be deemed deflec-
tive only if storage capacity drops below 80%
of rated capacity or if leakage develops.
Associated Accessories - 1 year. Includes: Microphones/Handsets, Ex-
ternal Speakers, Antennas, Carrying Accesso-
ries, Power Supplies, and Signaling Boards.
In the event of a defect, malfunction or failure of the Product during the
warranty period, STANDARD HORIZON’s liability for any breach of contract
or any breach of express or implied warranties in connection with the sale of
Products shall be limited solely to repair or replacement, at its option, of the
Product or part(s) therein which, upon examination by STANDARD HORIZON,
appear to be defective or not up to factory specifications. STANDARD
HORIZON may, at its option, repair or replace parts or subassemblies with
new or reconditioned parts and subassemblies. Parts thus repaired or re-
placed are warranted for the balance of the original applicable warranty.
STANDARD HORIZON will not warrant installation, maintenance or service
of the Products. In all instances, STANDARD HORIZON’s liability for dam-
ages shall not exceed the purchase price of the defective Product.
This warranty only extends to Products sold within the 50 States of the United
States of America and the District of Columbia.
STANDARD HORIZON will pay all labor to repair the product and replace-
ment parts charges incurred in providing the warranty service except where
purchaser abuse or other qualifying exceptions exist. The purchaser must
pay any transportation expenses incurred in returning the Product to
STANDARD HORIZON for service.

This limited warranty does not extend to any Product which has been sub-
jected to misuse, neglect, accident, incorrect wiring by anyone other than
STANDARD HORIZON, improper installation, or subjected to use in viola-
tion of instructions furnished by STANDARD HORIZON, nor does this war-
ranty extend to Products on which the serial number has been removed,
defaced, or changed. STANDARD HORIZON cannot be responsible in any
way for ancillary equipment not furnished by STANDARD HORIZON which
is attached to or used in connection with STANDARD HORIZON’s Products,
or for the operation of the Product with any ancillary equipment and all such
equipment is expressly excluded from this warranty. STANDARD HORIZON
disclaims liability for range, coverage, or operation of the Product and ancil-
lary equipment as a whole under this warranty. STANDARD HORIZON re-
serves the right to make changes or improvements in Products, during sub-
sequent production, without incurring the obligation to install such changes
or improvements on previously manufactured Products.
The implied warranties which the law imposes on the sale of this Product
are expressly LIMITED, in duration, to the time period specified above. STAN-
DARD HORIZON shall not be liable under any circumstances for conse-
quential damages resulting from the use and operation of this Product, or
from the breach of this LIMITED WARRANTY, any implied warranties, or
any contract with STANDARD HORIZON. IN CONNECTION WITH THE
SALE OF ITS PRODUCTS, STANDARD HORIZON MAKES NO WARRAN-
TIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FIT-
NESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse-
quential damages, or limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above limitations or exclusions may not apply. This warranty gives spe-
cific legal rights, and there may be other rights which may vary from state to
state.
ONLY PRODUCTS SOLD ON OR AFTER JANUARY 1, 1991 ARE COV-
ERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.
In addition to the warranty, STANDARD HORIZON includes a lifetime “flat
rate” program to provide service after the warranty period has expired. If you
wish to obtain the flat rate price for out-of-warranty repair, you must include
the information on the Owners Record with the unit when you return it to
STANDARD HORIZON. 
						

							HX370SPage 41
Note: The flat rate amount is payable by the Owner only if STANDARD
HORIZON or the STANDARD HORIZON Dealer determines that a repair is
needed. After the repair, a 90-day warranty will be in effect from the date of
return of the unit to the Owner.
This service program is not available for equipment which has failed as a
result of neglect, accident, breakage, misuse, improper installation or modi-
fication.
