This warranty excludes normal wear and tear, damage caused by user error, named storms and dock failure. SlipSki Solutions will give recommendations on dock repairs needed and/or reinforcement for mounts prior to installing your product, but it is up to the end user to ensure sufficient reinforcement is added and the dock is in suitable condition.

Any damage that is caused from a failure of dock mounts due to poor dock condition or inadequate reinforcement at mounting locations will not be covered under warranty.

Cover fabric is currently covered under a 7 year manufacturer warranty.
