SX35 & SX50

1.   Sleipner Motor AS (The “Warrantor”) warrants that the equipment (parts, materials and embedded software of products) manufactured by the    

    Warrantor is free from defects in workmanship and materials for the purpose for which the equipment is intended and under normal  use and    

    service (the “Warranty”).
2.   This Warranty is in effect for two years (Leisure Use) or one year (Commercial and other Non-leisure Use) from the date of purchase by the end    

    user (for demonstration vessels, the dealer is deemed as end user). 
3.   This Warranty is transferable and covers the equipment for the specified warranty period.

4.   The warranty does not apply to defects or damages caused by faulty installation or hook-up, abuse or misuse of the equipment including exposure  

    to excessive heat, salt or fresh water spray, or water immersion except for equipment specifically designed as waterproof.
5.   In case the equipment seems to be defective, the warranty holder (the “Claimant”) must do the following to make a claim:

(a) Contact the dealer or service centre where the equipment was purchased and make the claim. Alternatively, the Claimant can make the 

claim to a dealer or service centre found at www.sleipnergroup.com. The Claimant must present a detailed written statement of the nature 

and circumstances of the defect, to the best of the Claimant’s knowledge, including product identifi cation and serial nbr., the date and place of 

purchase and the name and address of the installer. Proof of purchase date should be included with the claim, to verify that the warranty period 

has not expired;

(b) Make the equipment available for troubleshooting and repair, with direct and workable access, including dismantling of furnishings or similar, 

if any, either at the premises of the Warrantor or an authorised service representative approved by the Warrantor. Equipment can only be returned 

to the Warrantor or an authorised service representative for repair following a pre-approval by the Warrantor’s Help Desk and if so, with the Return 

Authorisation Number visible postage/shipping prepaid and at the expense of the Claimant.

6.   Examination and handling of the warranty claim:

(a) If upon the Warrantor’s or authorised service Representative’s examination, the defect is determined to result from defective material or 

workmanship in the warranty period, the    equipment will be repaired or replaced at the Warrantor’s option without charge, and returned to the 

Purchaser at the Warrantor’s expense. If, on the other hand, the claim is determined to result from circumstances such as described in section 4 

above or a result of wear and tear exceeding that for which the equipment is intended (e.g. commercial use of equipment intended for leisure use), 

the costs for the troubleshooting and repair shall be borne by the Claimant;

(b) No refund of the purchase price will be granted to the Claimant, unless the Warrantor is unable to remedy the defect after having a reasonable 

number of opportunities to do so. In the event that attempts to remedy the defect have failed, the Claimant may claim a refund of the purchase 

price, provided that the Claimant submits a statement in writing from a professional boating equipment supplier that the installation instructions of 

the Installation and Operation Manual have been complied with and that the defect remains.

7.   Warranty service shall be performed only by the Warrantor, or an authorised service representative, and any attempt to remedy the defect by  

 

    anyone else shall render this warranty void.

8.   No other warranty is given beyond those described above, implied or otherwise, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a    

    particular purpose other than the purpose for which the equipment is intended, and any other obligations on the part of the Warrantor or its  

 

    employees and representatives.
9.   There shall be no responsibility or liability whatsoever on the part of the Warrantor or its employees and representatives based on this Warranty   

     for injury to any person or persons, or damage to property, loss of income or profit, or any other incidental, consequential or resulting damage    

    or cost claimed to have been incurred through the use or sale of the equipment, including any possible failure or malfunction of the equipment or  

    damages arising from collision with other vessels or objects.

10. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from country to country.
