(7) Any other person than the first use purchaser of the boat.

(8) Any boat or part manufactured by MacGregor which shall
have been altered in any way so as to impair its original
characteristics.

The foregoing warranties are made in lieu of all other war-
ranties, obligations, liabilities, or representation on the part
of MacGregor, and the purchaser waives all other warran-
ties, guaranties, or liabilities, expressed or implied, arising
by law or otherwise, including without limitations any li-
ability of MacGregor for consequential damages.

The purchaser should understand that the dealer is not an
agent of MacGregor Yacht Corp. and MacGregor does not
authorize the dealer or any other person to assume for
MacGregor Yacht Corp. any liability in connection with such
warranty or any liability or expense incurred in the replace-
ment or repair of its products other than those expressly au-
thorized herein.

MacGregor reserves the right to improve its products through
changes in design or material without being obligated to
incorporate such changes in products of prior manufacture.

DEALER’S RESPONSIBILITY

The processing of claims against the transportation com-
pany for any damage occurring during shipment, or by de-
liberate act of vandalism or by normal intransit hazards shall
be the dealer ’s responsibility. MacGregor Yacht
Corporation’s responsibility for safety against damage to the
boat ceases at the time the boat leaves the MacGregor Yacht
Corp. facility, thereafter responsibility is either that of the
common carrier or the dealer.

It is further the responsibility of the dealer to furnish guid-
ance and information to the purchaser on matters pertaining
to service and maintenance during the warranty period, and
in addition to process any claims under the warranty to
MacGregor Yacht Corp. The dealer is responsible for mak-
ing sure that the owner receives the Owner’s Instructions
and understands all information contained therein.

OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY
Purchasers are to take the following steps in pursuing a war-
ranty claim:

(1) Fill out and return, within ten days after the delivery, the
attached Warranty Registration Card.

(2) The Owner’s Instructions, as well as instructions fur-
nished with any accessories installed on the boat, shall be
placed in a large envelope and remain aboard the boat. Pur-
chasers should make special effort to make sure that this
literature is delivered to them by the dealer or MacGregor
Yacht Corporation. Careful attention to these instructions
will add many years to the life of the boat and equipment.

(3) It is understood that all matters of service are handled
with the selling dealer. Purchaser should notify his selling
dealer regarding any problems under the warranty.

(4) The dealer shall be given an opportunity to supply parts
needed for all repairs for which a claim is to be made.

(5) The purchaser agrees to use the boat in a reasonable and
safe manner. It is necessary for the owner or operator to use
extreme caution when operating the boat in severe weather,
when operating the boat, trailering, or raising and lowering
the mast near power lines or sources of electrical power (con-
tact between a power line and the mast or rigging could cause
injury or death), and when preparing the boat for trailering.

(6) The purchaser must use care to assure that the boat is not
sailed unless the ballast tank is completely full and the valve
is closed and sealed.

(7) The purchaser must familiarize himself with all infor-
mation contained in the Owner’s Instructions, particularly
the warnings contained in pages 1 and 2.
