6. WARRANTY
1.
This warranty is given in addition to all rights given by statute or
otherwise.
2.
RS Sailing warrants all boats and component parts manufactured by it
to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and
circumstances, and the exercise of prudent seamanship, for a period of twelve
(12) months from the date of commissioning by the original owner. The owner
must exercise routine maintenance and care.
3.
This warranty does not apply to defects in surface coatings caused by
weathering or normal use and wear.
4.
This warranty does not apply if the boat has been altered, modified, or
repaired without prior written approval of RS Sailing. Any changes to the hull
structure, deck structure, rig or foils without the written approval of RS Sailing
will void this warranty.
5.
Warranty claims for materials or equipment not manufactured by RS
Sailing can be made directly to the relevant manufacturer. RS Sailing warrants
that these parts were installed correctly and according to the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
6.
Warranty claims shall be made to RS Sailing as soon as practicable
and, in any event, within 28 days upon discovery of a defect. No repairs under
warranty are to be undertaken without written approval of RS Sailing.
7.
Upon approval of a warranty claim, RS Sailing may, at its expense,
repair or replace the component. In all cases, the replacement will be equal in
value to the original component.
8.
Due to the continuing evolution of the marine market, RS Sailing
reserves the right to change the design, material, or construction of its
products without incurring any obligation to incorporate such changes in
products already built or in use.
