Atlantic Jet Sports Return and Exchange Policy and Instructions

Effective April 1, 2026

Atlantic Jet Sports is committed to delivering high‑quality Personal Watercraft Marine components, parts, and accessories, and ensuring every customer receives the correct parts in new, unused condition. The following policy governs all returns, exchanges, warranty claims, and dispute‑related procedures. By completing checkout, the customer acknowledges and agrees to all terms outlined below.

1. Policy Acceptance
By placing an order, the customer agrees that this Return, Exchange & Warranty Policy forms part of the purchase contract. These terms apply to all orders without exception.

2. Fitment, Compatibility & Intended Use
Personal Watercraft Marine components, parts, and accessories are model‑specific.

    • Customers are responsible for verifying fitment, compatibility, and intended use prior to ordering.
    • Atlantic Jet Sports does not guarantee suitability for any customer‑specific or unstated purpose.
    • Incorrect model selection or assumptions about compatibility are not grounds for return, refund, or dispute.

This clause directly addresses “unsuitable for intended purpose” claims.

3. Definition of “Not as Described.”
A product is considered “not as described” only if it materially differs from:

    • The written specifications on the product page.
    • The listed item number.
    • The product photos, unless noted on the product page as "Generic Image."
    • The manufacturer’s published data.

Subjective dissatisfaction, performance expectations, or personal opinions do not qualify as “not as described.”

4. Damage, Defects & Workmanship Concerns
If an item arrives damaged or appears to have a defect in materials or workmanship:

    • Customers must report the issue within 48 hours of delivery through our Order Damage or Defective Claim Form.
    • Atlantic Jet Sports will assist in filing a claim with the appropriate shipping carrier or manufacturer.
    • Claims submitted after 48 hours cannot be processed.

5. Mandatory Inspection & Troubleshooting Requirement
Before any return, refund, warranty claim, or dispute is initiated:

Customers must allow Atlantic Jet Sports the opportunity to:

    • Inspect the item.
    • Troubleshoot the issue.
    • Verify any claim of defect, damage, or non‑conformity.

This may include:

    • Providing photos or video.
    • Describing installation/assembly steps.
    • Returning the item for inspection.

Failure to complete this process voids eligibility for return or refund and is recognized by card networks as valid merchant protection.

6. Evidence Requirement
All claims of defect, damage, or non‑conformity must include:

    • Clear photographic or video evidence.
    • A description of the issue.
    • The order number, item purchased, and watercraft year, make, model, and motor size items were purchased for use on.

Claims submitted without evidence cannot be processed.

7. Return Authorization Requirement (RMA)
A valid return requires:

Emails or messages that do not follow the RMA process do not constitute a valid return attempt.

8. How to Start a Return Request
