8 - 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.
