SMITTYBILT ADVANTAGE WARRANTY 

 

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR MECHANICAL COMPONENTS 

LIMITED ONE (1) YEAR WARRANTY FOR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS 

Smittybilt Automotive Products,  LLC  (SAP)  warrants  to the original purchaser that (a) the mechanical 

components  (e.g.,  gears,  clutch,  spools,  etc.)  of  any  SAP  winch  will  be  free  of  defects  in  material  and 

workmanship for the lifetime of the winch, and (b) the electrical components (e.g., electric motor, wires, 

solenoid, etc.) will be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the 

original date of  purchase. This Warranty applies only to the  original purchaser of the winch.  To obtain 

any warranty service, you must provide SAP with proof of purchase and date of purchase acceptable to 

SAP, such as a copy of your purchase receipt. 

This  warranty  does  not  cover  the  removal  or  reinstallation  of  the  winch.  SAP  will,  at  its  sole  option, 

repair, replace or refund the purchase price of a defective winch or component, provided you return the 

defective  winch  or  component  during  the  warranty  period,  transportation  charges  prepaid,  to  SAP. 

Attach  your  name,  address,  telephone  number,  a  brief  description  of  the  problem,  and  a  copy  of  your 

receipt  and  original  bill  of  sale  bearing  the  SAP  serial  number  of  the  defective  winch  and  date  of 

purchase. 

This warranty does not apply (i) to finish, paint or the wire rope; (ii) if the winch has been damaged by 

accident,  abuse,  misuse,  collision,  overloading,  modification,  misapplication,  improper  installation,  or 

improper service;  or  (iii) any  normally  wearable  part  such  as the break  mechanism.    This  Warranty  is 

void if any SAP serial number has been removed or defaced. Commercial or industrial use or application, 

or  any  hoisting  application  of  the  winch  voids  the  Warranty.  This  Warranty  is  good  only  for  winches 

bought, sold and used in the United States unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by SAP. 

 

THE  WARRANTY  SET  FORTH  ABOVE  IS  THE  ONLY  WARRANTY.  THERE  ARE  NO  OTHER 

WARRANTIES,  EXPRESS  OR  IMPLIED,  INCLUDING  BUT  NOT  LIMITED  TO,  IMPLIED 

WARRANTIES  OF  MERCHANTABILITY  OR  FITNESS  FOR  A  PARTICULAR  PURPOSE.  ANY 

IMPLIED WARRANTY WHICH BY LAW MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED IS LIMITED IN DURATION 

TO  ONE  (1)  YEAR  FROM  THE  DATE  OF  ORIGINAL  RETAIL  PURCHASE  OF  THE  PRODUCT. 

No 

SAP 

dealer, agent or employee is authorized to make any modification, extension or addition to this 

warranty.  SAP  SHALL  NOT  BE  LIABLE  FOR  SPECIAL,  INDIRECT,  INCIDENTAL  OR 

CONSEQUENTIAL  DAMAGES  (INCLUDING,  BUT  NOT  LIMITED  TO,  LOST  PROFITS,  DOWN 

TIME OR LOSS OF USE) UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF SAP WAS ADVISED OF THE 

POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or 

the  exclusion  or  limitation  of  liability  for  incidental  or  consequential  damages,  or  limitations  on  how 

long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This Warranty 

gives  you  specific  legal  rights.  You  may  also  have  other  rights  that  vary  from  state  to  state.    SAP 

reserves  the  right  to  change  product  design  without  notice.  In  situations  in  which  SAP  has  changed  a 

product design, SAP shall have no obligation to upgrade or otherwise  modify  previously manufactured 

products. To submit a warranty claim please contact Smittybilt at 1-888-717-5797.
