This Limited Warranty applies to Customers who use the Product in their free time (not for commercial users), for 4 years from the date of the first sale or from the date the Product was first put into operation, whichever comes first. In addition, we provide a warranty for the HULL (up to and including the connection between the hull and the deck), against structural (non-cosmetic) damage caused by a material or processing defect in the manufacture and occurring within 5 years from the date of delivery. Structural failure means a significant failure of the hull of the Product, which leads to the fact that the Product is unsuitable or unsafe for general use as a sports boat under normal operating conditions. This includes the hull and all internal structural components connected to the hull, such as storage boxes, control console and transom, as well as their connections to the hull and deck.
The equipment-specific warranty is subject to the conditions of the Equipment Supplier.
This equipment includes: the controller, measuring instruments, electrics, electronics, panels, upholstery, seats, retrofits, various electronic components and accessories.
If the equipment is installed by a party other than the Boat Manufacturer, the quality of the installation is the responsibility of the installer and is not subject to these conditions. Fittings that were purchased by the Customer from other sources and are not part of the original delivery of the Boat are not covered by this Warranty.
The repair or replacement of parts or the provision of services under this Warranty does not extend the term of this Warranty beyond its original expiration date.

5. Procedure in Case of Errors
The Customer must immediately report any defect to the Boat Dealer in the first instance and to the Boat Manufacturer in the second instance.
The Customer must take appropriate measures to limit damage and under no circumstances continue to use the Product if this could put people at risk. If they fail to do so, the Customer shall be liable for the damage to the extent to which the failure contributed to the damage.
In the event of a defect, the Customer must always behave in such a way that the damage is not increased by their actions or omissions (e.g. no longer use the defective Product). When reporting a defect, the Customer must provide a Warranty Card or other reliable evidence (photos, minutes of a specialized staff) of the validity of the Warranty.
The Boat Manufacturer and the Dealer agree on the manner in which the defect is to be remedied.
The Customer must provide the Dealer or the Boat Manufacturer with the necessary information and pictures of the defect, the date and circumstances of the occurrence of the defect, the Warranty Card and their own contact details, as well as the proof of purchase.
The Dealer must submit a written cost estimate to the Boat Manufacturer for the repair of the defect, if a repair is possible. The cost estimate must be accompanied by photos of the defect. The Dealer may not start the repair without the written permission of the Boat Manufacturer.
For the equipment installed on the Boat, the Dealer must provide the Equipment Supplier with a written estimate for the repair of the defect. The cost estimate must be accompanied by photos of the defect.
The Dealer may not start the repair without the written permission of the Supplier.
6. Obligations of the Boat Manufacturer in the Event of a Defect
If a defect occurs on the Boat, the Customer has the right to demand that the Dealer or the Boat Manufacturer make every effort to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time after receiving the notification of the defect.
The Boat Manufacturer has the right to remedy and repair the defect in the first instance, if this is possible within a reasonable period, taking into account the nature and extent of the defect and in such a way that the Customer does not incur any costs or significant inconvenience as a result of the repair. The repair is carried out either by the Boat Manufacturer themselves or at a repair shop designated by the Boat Manufacturer.
If a boat defect is not covered by the Warranty, the Boat Manufacturer must inform the Customer and ask them if they want the defect to be remedied. In this case, the Boat Manufacturer may charge the Customer for the costs of remedying the defect.
Furthermore, the Customer is also obliged to reimburse the Boat Manufacturer for the following additional costs if the defect is not covered by the Warranty:
The costs for the transport of the Boat and for the travel expenses of personnel, the costs for the investigation of the defect and the other costs incurred if the Customer arranges the repair of the boat in an obviously unnecessary way and without permission.(e.g. if the defect was caused by the Customer themselves and the Customer was at fault themselves and this has obviously become clear to them).
Indirect damage caused by defects will not be compensated and the Warranty does not cover any incidental, consequential or similar costs, such as loss of use of the Boat or loss of life.
The repair or replacement of the Boat within the Warranty Period does not extend the original Warranty Period.
7. Relationship of the Warranty Conditions to the Provisions of Consumer Protection Law
The Customer can rely on the statutory liability for defects of the Dealer or the Boat Manufacturer or another previous seller or intermediary, for example, if the defect is excluded from the Warranty in the Warranty conditions or if the defect occurs after the Warranty period has expired. In such cases, liability for defects is governed by Consumer Protection Law.
The liability of the Boat Manufacturer for defects in parts of the Boat that occur after the expiration of the Warranty Period or that are not covered by the Warranty is limited to the Customer who bought the boat new.
8. Settlement of Disputes
Any dispute arising from the terms of the Warranty shall be settled primarily through negotiations between the Parties. If the matter is brought before a court, disputes concerning the Contract concluded with the Customer will be heard by the Defendant’s place of residence has jurisdiction.
