Extent of the guarantee
If a claim is made under guarantee, we undertake at our discretion to repair or replace the defective goods. We
will not consider supplementary claims, especially for reimbursement of costs relating to the defect (e.g.
installation / removal costs) and compensation for consequent damages unless they are allowed by statute.
This does not affect claims based on legal regulations, especially according to product liability law.
Guarantee requirements
The purchaser is required to make the guarantee claim in writing, and must enclose original proof of purchase
(e.g. invoice, receipt, delivery note) and this guarantee card. The purchaser must send the defective goods to
us at his own cost, using the following address:
Gliders
Brunel Drive, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG242EG
The purchaser should state the material defect or manufacturing fault, or the symptoms of the fault, in as
accurate a manner as possible, so that we can check if our guarantee obligation is applicable.
The goods are transported from the consumer to us and from us to the consumer at the risk of the consumer.
Duration of validity
This declaration only applies to claims made to us during the claim period as stated in this declaration. The
claim period is 24 months from the date of purchase of the product by the consumer from a dealer in the
Federal Republic of Germany (purchase date). If a defect arises after the end of the claim period, or if the
evidence or documents required according to this declaration in order to make the claim valid are not presented
until after this period, then the consumer forfeits any rights or claims from this declaration.
Limitation by lapse of time
If we do not acknowledge the validity of a claim based on this declaration within the claim period, all claims
based on this declaration are barred by the statute of limitations after six months from the time of
implementation; however, this cannot occur before the end of the claim period.
Applicable law
This declaration, and the claims, rights and obligations arising from it, are based exclusively on the pertinent
German Law, excluding the norms of international private law, and excluding UN retail law.
Important safety notes
You have purchased a kit which can be assembled to produce a fully working RC model when fitted out with
the appropriate accessories. As manufacturers, we at GRAUPNER are not in a position to influence the way
you install, operate and maintain the model, nor the other components used in connection with the model. For
this reason we are obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due to the
incompetent or incorrect use and operation of our products, or which are connected with such operation in any
way. Unless otherwise prescribed by binding law, the obligation of the GRAUPNER company to pay
compensation, regardless of the legal argument employed, is excluded. This includes personal injury, death,
damage to buildings, loss of trade or turnover, interruption of business or other indirect or direct damages which
are caused by the operation of the model.
Under all circumstances and in all cases the company’s overall liability is limited to the amount which you
actually paid for this model.
The model is operated at the sole risk of the operator. To avoid injury to persons and damage to
property please handle your model boat carefully and operate it conscientiously at all times.
Before you run the boat for the first time it is important to check that your private third party insurance policy
provides cover when you are operating model boats of this kind. If you are not sure, take out a special
insurance policy designed to cover the risks of RC modelling.
These safety notes are important, and must be kept in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be sure to
pass them on to the new owner.
