Warranty Information

Your ShoreStation® Hoist Limited Warranties
During the terms of the Limited Warranties on your aluminum ShoreStation hoist, Midwest Industries, Inc. (hereafter referred to as "Midwest") covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair or replace any Midwest supplied item that proves defective in material, workmanship or factory preparation. These repairs or replacements (parts and labor) will be made by your dealer at no charge using new or remanufactured parts.

Your Legal Rights Under Midwest’s Limited Warranties
All of the Midwest Limited Warranties stated in this booklet are the only express written warranties made by Midwest applicable to the aluminum ShoreStation hoist. These Limited Warranties give you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. You may have some implied warranties, depending on the state in which your aluminum hoist is registered.

For example, you may have:

1. An "implied warranty of merchant-ability" (that your hoist is reasonably fit for the general purpose for which it
   was sold);
   
2. An "implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose," (that your hoist is suitable for your special purposes; if your special purposes were specifically disclosed to Midwest itself – not merely to the distributor or dealer – prior
   to purchase.)
   

These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to the time period covered by the written warranties set forth in this publication. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

SUBSEQUENT BUYER/OWNER
This Warranty is extended only to the first buyer/owner of the hoist. This is defined as the first legal owner of a Midwest aluminum ShoreStation other than an authorized Distributor or Dealer who has bought the hoist from Midwest for resale to the public.

HOIST ALTERATION
This warranty does not cover alteration of the aluminum ShoreStation hoist, or failure of hoist components caused by such alteration.

PRODUCTION CHANGES
Midwest and its distributors/dealers reserve the right to make changes in
aluminum ShoreStation hoists built and/or sold by them at any time without incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes on hoists previously built and/or sold by them.
