7. 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.
