THUNDERBIRD LIMITED WARRANTY POLICY
Beginning in model year 2004, FORMULA boats, by THUNDERBIRD PRODUCTS, are warranted to the
original retail purchaser for a period of:
• One (1) year – general defects in materials and workmanship, including most materials, components
and accessories used in the boat’s construction.
• Two (2) years - materials used in the fabrication of any canvas product manufactured by
THUNDERBIRD PRODUCTS (i.e., cockpit covers, storage covers).
• Two (2) years – gel coat finish, to include protection against osmotic blistering, air voids, and
crazing/cracking if attributed to manufacturing defect.
• Five (5) years - materials (e.g., vinyl, foam, and thread) used in cockpit seating structures
manufactured by THUNDERBIRD PRODUCTS.
• Ten-years (10) - hull and deck structural defects. Structural elements include stringers, matrix grid
systems, bulkheads, and pultrusions.
Each warranty period listed above begins on the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser. These
warranties exist provided that the purchaser has used, maintained and stored the same in
accordance with THUNDERBIRD’S recommendations and procedures described in the
FORMULA Owner’s Manual.
During these periods, the warranty repairs shall be made at the dealer’s store or service center, or at
THUNDERBIRD’S option at the THUNDERBIRD manufacturing plant. Transportation charges on
FORMULA boats, if any, to and from the dealer’s service center or to and from the THUNDERBIRD
manufacturing plant, shall be the sole responsibility of the owner.
This warranty may be transferred to a second or subsequent owner of the boat provided that the second
or subsequent owner notifies THUNDERBIRD in writing within 30 days of the change of ownership and
pays THUNDERBIRD the established transfer fee. A transferred warranty shall be limited in duration to
the periods set forth herein, and the second or subsequent owner shall be required to use, maintain and
store the boat in the manner described above.
All repairs under the terms of this warranty are subject to authorization of the factory-trained personnel
whose decision shall be final in all events.
The sales personnel or other employees of the selling FORMULA dealer are not authorized to make
warranties concerning FORMULA boats. The dealer’s employees’ ORAL STATEMENTS DO NOT
CONSTITUTE WARRANTIES, shall not be relied upon by the purchaser, and are not part of the
contract of sale. The dealers are not agents of THUNDERBIRD. NO OTHER WARRANTIES ARE
GIVEN BEYOND THOSE SET FORTH HERIN.
THE WARRANTY PROVIDED HEREIN IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND
MAY NOT BE EXTENDED OR MODIFIED BY ANYONE. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE LIMITED IN DURATION OF THE WRITTEN
WARRANTY. CORRECTION OF NON-CONFORMITIES, IN THE MANNER AND FOR THE PERIODS
OF TIME AS SET FORTH ABOVE, SHALL CONSTITUTE FULLFILLMENT OF ALL LIABILITIES OF
THUNDERBIRD TO THE PURCHASER WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR
OTHERWISE.
THUNDERBIRD PRODUCTS SHALL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE LIABLE FOR
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF OTHER PROPERTY OF EQUIPMENT, LOSS OF PROFIT, COST OF
PURCHASED OR REPLACEMENT GOODS, CLAIMS OF CUSTOMERS OF THE PURCHASER,
FAILURE TO WARN AND/OR INSTRUCT, OR LACK OF SEAWORTHINESS. THE REMEDIES OF
THE PURCHASER SET FORTH HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE, AND THE LIABILITY OF THUNDERBIRD
PRODUCTS SHALL NOT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, EXCEED THE PRICE OF
THE GOODS UPON WHICH SUCH LIABILITY IS BASED.
