Limited Warranty
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER
LEGAL RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE (OR BY COUNTRY OR PROVINCE).
GARMIN DOES NOT EXCLUDE, LIMIT OR SUSPEND OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE
UNDER THE LAWS OF YOUR STATE (OR COUNTRY OR PROVINCE). FOR A FULL
UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR RIGHTS YOU SHOULD CONSULT THE LAWS OF YOUR STATE,
COUNTRY OR PROVINCE.
Non-aviation products are warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for one year
from the date of purchase. Within this period, Garmin will, at its sole option, repair or replace any
components that fail in normal use. Such repairs or replacement will be made at no charge to the
customer for parts or labor, provided that the customer shall be responsible for any transportation cost.
This Limited Warranty does not apply to: (i) cosmetic damage, such as scratches, nicks and dents; (ii)
consumable parts, such as batteries, unless product damage has occurred due to a defect in materials
or workmanship; (iii) damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, water, flood, fire, or other acts of
nature or external causes; (iv) damage caused by service performed by anyone who is not an
authorized service provider of Garmin; (v) damage to a product that has been modified or altered
without the written permission of Garmin, or (vi) damage to a product that has been connected to power
and/or data cables that are not supplied by Garmin. In addition, Garmin reserves the right to refuse
warranty claims against products or services that are obtained and/or used in contravention of the laws
of any country. Garmin products are intended to be used only as an aid and must not be used for any
purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location or topography. For navigation
products, Garmin makes no warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the map data.
This Limited Warranty also does not apply to, and Garmin is not responsible for, any degradation in the
performance of any Garmin navigation product resulting from its use in proximity to any handset or
other device that utilizes a terrestrial broadband network operating on frequencies that are close to the
frequencies used by any Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) such as the Global Positioning
Service (GPS). Use of such devices may impair reception of GNSS signals.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WARRANTIES AND
REMEDIES CONTAINED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF, AND
GARMIN EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES, WHETHER
EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
STATUTORY REMEDY OR OTHERWISE. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC
LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO
STATE AND FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY. IF IMPLIED WARRANTIES CANNOT BE
DISCLAIMED UNDER THE LAWS OF YOUR STATE OR COUNTRY, THEN SUCH WARRANTIES
ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. SOME STATES
(AND COUNTRIES AND PROVINCES) DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED
WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
IN NO EVENT SHALL GARMIN BE LIABLE IN A CLAIM FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER RESULTING
FROM THE USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT OR FROM DEFECTS IN THE
PRODUCT. SOME STATES (AND COUNTRIES AND PROVINCES) DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
If during the warranty period you submit a claim for warranty service in accordance with this Limited
Warranty, then Garmin will, at its option: (i) repair the device using new parts or previously used parts
that satisfy Garmin's quality standards, (ii) replace the device with a new device or a refurbished device
that meets Garmin's quality standards, or (iii) exchange the device for a full refund of your purchase
price. SUCH REMEDY SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF
WARRANTY. Repaired or replaced devices have a 90 day warranty. If the unit sent in is still under its
original warranty, then the new warranty is 90 days or to the end of the original 1 year warranty,
whichever is longer.
Before seeking warranty service, please access and review the online help resources available on
support.garmin.com. If your device is still not functioning properly after making use of these resources,
contact a Garmin Authorized service facility in the original country of purchase or follow the instructions
on support.garmin.com to obtain warranty service. If you are in the United States, you can also call
1-800-800-1020.
If you seek warranty service outside of the original country of purchase, Garmin cannot guarantee that
the parts and products needed to repair or replace your product will be available due to differences in
product offerings and applicable standards, laws and regulations. In that case, Garmin may, in its sole
discretion and subject to applicable laws, repair or replace your product with comparable Garmin
products and parts, or require you to ship your product to a Garmin Authorized service facility in the
country of original purchase or to a Garmin Authorized service facility in another country that can
service your product, in which case you will be responsible for complying with all applicable import and
export laws and regulations and for paying all custom duties, V.A.T., shipping fees and other
associated taxes and charges. In some cases, Garmin and its dealers may be unable to service your
product in a country outside of the original country of purchase or return a repaired or replaced product
to you in that country due to applicable standards, laws or regulations in that country.
Online Auction Purchases: Online auction confirmations are not accepted for warranty verification. To
obtain warranty service, an original or copy of the sales receipt from the original retailer is required.
Garmin will not replace missing components from any package purchased through an online auction.
International Purchases: A separate warranty may be provided by international distributors for
devices purchased outside the United States depending on the country. If applicable, this warranty is
provided by the local in-country distributor and this distributor provides local service for your device.
Distributor warranties are only valid in the area of intended distribution.
Australian Purchases: Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian
Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for
any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or
replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
The benefits under our Limited Warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies under applicable
law in relation to the products. Garmin Australasia, 30 Clay Place, Eastern Creek, NSW 2766,
Australia. Phone: 1800 235 822.
