15. Warranty
SUBGEAR warrants to the original consumer purchaser that your Buoyancy Compensator (BC) will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship appearing within two years from the date of purchase,
under normal use and reasonable maintenance.
These warranties do not apply to any BC used for industrial, commercial, institutional, or rental use.
As its sole obligation, and your sole remedy, SUBGEAR will repair or replace (at SUBGEAR's sole option
and expense) any BC, or any components, which SUBGEAR finds to be defective.
You can also visit subgear.com for more warranty specifications.
To obtain warranty service, you must deliver your BC, together with proof of purchase, to any Authorized
SUBGEAR Dealer. This warranty does not cover damage resulting from improper use, commercial,
industrial or rental use, maintenance or care, or unauthorized repair, and does not cover the fading or
bleeding of material dye.
