Nielsen-Kellerman Plain Language Warranty

NK Rowing Electronics, Interval Watches

NK does not believe in "disposable electronics." We know our products don't lead a pampered life, and we design them for years of performance in tough conditions. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the performance or operation of any NK product in the first 30 days, you may return it to NK or your place of purchase for a full refund.

We guarantee every NK product to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of TWO YEARS from your date of purchase. We will repair or replace any defective product or part when notified within the warranty period, and will return the product via domestic ground shipping at no charge or NK's choice of method of international shipping at no charge.

The following issues do not result from a manufacturing defect and are not covered under this warranty:

  • Damage due to improper use or neglect (including corrosion)
  • Damage resulting from severe impact, crushing or mechanical harm
  • Modifications or attempted repairs by someone other than an authorized NK repair agent
  • Normal wear and tear
  • Failed batteries

To maximize the benefit of your warranty, pay particular attention to corrosion issues. We work hard to make our control units and wiring corrosion resistant (for example, we use only gold-plated solid pins and plugs and waterproof connectors). However, special care must be taken to prevent corrosion of equipment used in salt water. Rinse all connectors after use with clear water, use a Protective Jumper (0277), use our Socket Maintenance Kit (0242), lubricate plugs with silicone (0241), and follow a regular maintenance schedule. Our Cox-Box Maintenance Kit (0230) is a must have for all Cox-Box users and has everything you will need for proper care of your unit.

Your warranty period will be measured from your date of purchase. The best way to ensure full warranty coverage is to REGISTER your NK product promptly (via the provided form or website). We keep your registration information in strict confidence and do not sell it, share it, or use it for anything but product-related information bulletins (which you may decline receiving). If you do not register and cannot provide proof of purchase, your warranty period will be measured from our date of manufacture (by serial number), which may be well before your purchase date.

We request that you contact NK if you feel your product is not working properly. We can often solve product issues by phone or e-mail, saving you the time and expense of returning the unit. If we require the product to be returned, we will issue a Return Authorization to expedite the handling of your warranty claim.

Okay, time for the unavoidable legalese: Except for the warranties set forth herein, NK disclaims all other warranties, expressed, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Any implied warranties that may be imposed by applicable law are limited to the term of this warranty. In no event shall NK be liable for any incidental, special or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of business, loss of profits, loss of data or use, whether in an action in contract or tort or based on a warranty, arising out of or in connection with the use or performance of an NK product, even if NK has been advised of the possibility of such damages. You agree that repair, and (upon availability) replacement, as applicable, is your sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any breach of the NK Limited Warranty set forth herein. All product liability and warranty options are governed exclusively by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Service

We provide full factory service on every product we manufacture for as long as we make the product (and as long after as component availability permits). If we can't repair a product, we will offer you a brand-new replacement under our Customer Care Program - even for accidental damage and misuse.

We request that you contact NK if you feel your product is not working properly. We can often solve product issues by phone or e-mail, saving you the time and expense of returning the unit. If we require the product to be returned, we will issue a Return Authorization to expedite the handling of your claim.

Our minimum charge to test a unit and process a repair is $25. To avoid paying this charge unnecessarily, please perform simple troubleshooting before you send in your product.
