Specific warranty terms: 

1)

 

The use of the throwing cage (KLD17-5/7-A) is to be done in the properly marked and secured sports facility 
designed  for  that  purpose  and  under  supervision  of  qualified  coaches,  and  according  to:  the  rules  of  the 
International  Association  of  Athletics  Federations  (IAAF),  respective  national  athletics  federation  and  local 
safety regulations. Failure to follow the above restrictions results in loss of the warranty rights. 

2)

 

The throwing cage (KLD17-5/7-A) is designed to protect the spectators against the improperly released discus 
which misses the cage mouth. The execution of that task brings a risk of damages to the cage elements (for 
example the pillars), as a crumple zone of an automobile is damaged to absorb energy from the impact during 
an  accident  to  save  passengers.  The  damages  caused  by  the  proper  cage  operation,  which  is  stopping 
improperly thrown discuses from flying outside the cage and absorbing the impact energy in order to protect 
the  thrower  inside  the  throwing  circle,    are  recognized  as  a  normal  wear  of  the  product  and  are  excluded 
from  the  warranty.  The  damages  can  be  removed  in  course  of    payable  repair  or  replacement  of  the  cage 
elements. 

3)

 

The use of the non-genuine spare parts (not produced by Polanik) results in loss of the warranty rights and 
the termination of the IAAF certificate validity.
