OUR POLICY: WARRANTY/ EXTENDED WARRANTY, SERVICE CONTRACT, INSURANCE WORK, 3rd PARTY-PAYERS, etc.
Most such work requires Rex Marine to submit a diagnosis & detailed estimate on boat owner’s behalf to attempt to
obtain Manufacturers or applicable 3rd party payment authorization. Upon verifying your coverage details and your
authorization signature below, Rex will submit your warranty/ 3
rd party payer request on your behalf. Except for
coverage amounts confirmed in advance by Formula, Suzuki, Yamaha, and Mercury/Mercruiser factory warranty
claims, unless alternate arrangement has been made in advance, if actual payment has not been received from a 3rd
party payer prior to when you would like to use or remove your boat, you may be required to pay the full repair cost,
and upon our receipt of payment from the 3rd party payer, you will be reimbursed based upon the amount Rex Marine
receives.
• To be eligible to make a request a factory warranty coverage, Rex must be an authorized dealer for the
engine, component, or boat, which must be registered with the manufacturer in the name of person
requesting the work. Unit must be within the warranty period, and owner must authorize at potential
owner expense diagnosis and other work necessary to enable Rex Marine to prepare the detailed estimate
required by the manufacturer to evaluate your warranty request.
• While initial diagnosis or discussion with a manufacturer, extended service contract company, or
insurance company may provide the basis for starting and/or continuing diagnosis or other work that has
been conditionally approved on a warranty/3rd party payer basis, additional information and costs
revealed by the diagnostic process/teardown/ disassembly etc. may prove inconsistent with preliminary
diagnosis and result in denial of claim. In such a case, costs for all work performed by Rex Marine which
is not reimbursed by warranty/ 3rd party payer remains payable by the owner.
• Only Rex Marine technicians or a manufacturer pre- approved subcontractor may perform warranty work
to be eligible for claim to be submitted.1 Please read your warranty/ service contract/insurance
documents: Commonly excluded from coverages are: road service/travel charges, launching, hauling,
power washing bottom, towing, trailer loading/unloading, storage charges, dockage charges, sea
trials/on-water testing, routine maintenance parts, consumables (gas, lubricants, fluids, oils, etc.), ‘wear’
parts (belts, impeller, etc.), express shipping fees if you request us to obtain parts faster than standard
shipping, plan deductibles, and other items specifically excluded per your policy terms. These items are
the responsibility of the owner and require full payment when invoiced. specifically excluded per
your policy terms. These items are the responsibility of the owner and require full payment when
invoiced.
• 3
rd party/service contract labor reimbursements are based upon 3
rd party-devised labor times which
seldom reflect the ‘real-world’ labor times required to perform diagnosis & repair. If Rex has been
notified by 3rd party payer of variation between our estimate and 3rd party authorized reimbursement, we
will inform you and seek your authorization to proceed. Rex will provide you information upon request
should you wish to challenge 3rd party reimbursements offered. If your challenge is unsuccessful, you
remain responsible to pay Rex Marine immediately upon work completion for cost difference of funds
received/expected from 3rd party payer and actual invoice cost of Rex completed repairs.
• Please understand that the warranty claim and 3rd party payment processes and time to complete the work
often requires substantially more time than a “owner-authorized/owner paid” work request. Waiting for
inspection by a claims adjuster or factory representative, detailed diagnosis and estimate requests,
multiple communications necessary to exchange often highly detailed required information, and delays
receiving manufacturer supplied parts are among common delays beyond our control.
• To proceed, you must sign this agreement and as well as our service request form, which must include
charge card information and your explicit authorization to use card on file to pay for non-3
rd party
covered costs of your warranty/3rd party work requests. If your claim request is denied or only partial
payment received, you remain responsible for all costs, including costs for labor, parts, ad operations
required to diagnose and create the required estimate, reassembly costs if applicable, and other work
performed, even if work is incomplete or if owner declines actual estimated repairs.
I have read and understand above policy. As a condition of Rex Marine accepting my Warranty request, I
acknowledge and agree that invoices for work performed by Rex Marine not reimbursed by warranty/3rd
party payer constitutes a Promissory Note and is payable by me in full upon invoicing, and I give my
permission to process my charge card on file if necessary to comply with this policy.
