LIMITED WARRANTY CONT’D
Smith & Wesson will not be responsible for:
• Defects or malfunctions resulting from careless handling,
unauthorized adjustments or modifications made or attempted by
anyone other than a qualified gunsmith following Smith &
Wesson authorized procedures, or failure to follow the disassem-
bly instructions in the Smith & Wesson manual.
• Use of defective or improper ammunition, corrosion, neglect,
abuse, ordinary wear and tear, or unreasonable use.
• Criminal misuse, negligence or use under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
Smith & Wesson’s Lifetime Service Policy begins after the war-
ranty period has expired. Smith & Wesson will repair, without
charge, for the lifetime of the original owner, any Smith &
Wesson handgun purchased on or after February 1, 1989, and
any M&P15 series rifle, that is found to have a defect in material
or workmanship. Eligibility for this Lifetime Service Policy
requires returning the Product Registration Card within 30 days
of purchase. The Lifetime Service Policy covers functional
defects; it does not include the firearm’s finish, grips, magazines
or sights. The Lifetime Service Policy is in addition to and not an
extension of the Smith & Wesson Warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have
other rights that vary from State to State.
Note: All liability is excluded in the event that the instructions in
the Smith & Wesson manual are not observed.
