51 Enterprises, LLC (“51E”) extends the following lifetime limited warranty to the original retail purchaser only.  Warranty coverage is not transferable.

​

Dakota Lifetime Limited Warranty on Composite Housing & Components
51E warrants to the original retail purchaser only that the purchaser’s Dakota Boat Retriever will be materially free from defects in materials and workmanship appearing within the original purchaser’s lifetime.  51E will (at its option) either repair or replace, free of charge, the entire unit or any parts found by 51E to be defective during the term of this warranty. Such repair, or replacement shall be the sole and exclusive liability of 51E and the sole and exclusive remedy of the purchaser for breach of this warranty.

​

EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS 
This lifetime limited warranty does not apply to products that have been used commercially or for rental purposes.  This lifetime limited warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, blemishes that do not affect the operation of the product, or damage caused by accidents, abuse, alteration, modification, shipping damages, acts of God, negligence of the user or misuse, improper or insufficient care or maintenance.  DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE USE OF OTHER REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT MEETING THE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS OF THE ORIGINAL PARTS WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. The cost of normal maintenance or replacement parts which are not in breach of the lifetime limited warranty are the responsibility of the purchaser. Prior to using products, the purchaser shall determine the suitability of the products for the intended use and assumes all related risk and liability. Any assistance 51E provides to or procures for the purchaser outside the terms, limitations or exclusions of this lifetime limited warranty will not constitute a waiver of the terms, limitations or exclusions, nor will such assistance extend or revive the warranty. 51E will not reimburse the purchaser for any expenses incurred by the purchaser in repairing, correcting or replacing any defective products or parts, except those incurred with 51E’s prior written permission. 51E'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO COVERED PRODUCTS IS LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE PURCHASER'S ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE PAID FOR SUCH PRODUCT.

​

HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE
To obtain warranty service in the U.S., the product believed to be defective, and proof of original purchase (including the date of purchase), must be presented to Dakota’s factory service center in Knoxville, TN. Any charges incurred for service calls, transportation or shipping/freight to/from the factory, labor to haul out, remove, re-install or re-rig products removed for warranty service, or any other similar items are the sole and exclusive responsibility of the purchaser. Products purchased outside of the U.S. must be returned prepaid with proof of purchase (including the date of purchase and model number) to any Authorized Dakota Service Center in the country of purchase. Warranty service can be arranged by contacting 51E at 865-803-4150 or email Dakota@FiftyOneEnterprises.com.  Products repaired or replaced will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period [or for 90 days from the date of repair or replacement, whichever is longer]. For any product that is returned for warranty service that 51E finds to be not covered by or not in breach of this limited warranty, there will be a billing for services rendered at the prevailing posted labor rate and for a minimum of at least one hour.
