WARRANTY CONDITIONS
This is to certify that
smartkat GmbH, Steyr, Austria, guarantees the product(s) indicated to be free
from defects in material and workmanship under the conditions and with the limitations specified in
this warranty.
This warranty does not apply in countries where a national warranty applies, or in countries where
smartkat is not represented.
In countries where an applicable nonrestrictable law in any particular respect provides a better right
to the customer than provided by this warranty, this warranty is void in that particular respect and the
laws applies. All customers are recommended to make themselves acquainted with the basic content
of such laws, if any.
smartkat reserves the right to make changes in the products manufactured and/or sold by
smartkat at any time without prior notice and without incurring any obligation to make the same or
similar changes in products previously manufactured or sold.
The warranty period starts on the date of delivery to the first owner/user. The date of delivery shall
be noted on the warranty card, which is to be completed with all the relevant information and
returned to the local
smartkat importer. Remaining warranty is transferable to sub-sequent owners.
All components or parts replaced or repaired under warranty will receive the remaining warranty of
the original part or component. The warranty period is the minimum period which is indicated by
applicable nondiscretionary legislation, if such exists. In the event that such legislation does not exist
or prescribes a period shorter than the following, the warranty period will be as stated below.
Constructive parts, equipment and accessories:
24 months conditional on the use of the products for the private use and recreation of the
owner, in this respect no commercial use, such as chartering or renting is permissible.
To warrantee submitted hulls, sails, centreboard and rudder will be checked in any case
for excessive, false and not the intended purpose appropriate demand before a warranty
can be taken up by the buyer.
The warranty covers the cost of replacing defective parts or of having such parts repaired or of
obtaining equi-valent parts whichever is the lowest. A defective part or product in the sense of this
warranty is a part or product that is found to have an inherent defect which exists in it at the time of
delivery. (Transport costs for the replacement of defective parts overseas – outside continental
Europe – are not part of this warranty).
All warranty repairs must be carried out by an authorized
smartkat importer or dealer during the
normal working hours. This applies abroad as well.
This warranty does not cover parts or products damaged during transportation, installation or repair or
through abnormal use, overload, carelessness, insufficient maintenance, normal wear, use of spare
parts other than
smartkat parts, or through any type of incorrect installation, abuse, misuse, accident
or through neglect or failure to follow instructions in the user manual, maintenance instructions, or
installation instructions. The warranty is void if the user has taken abnormal risks or modifications have
been performed which in the judgement of
smartkat have caused or enhanced the damage or if the
part or product has been used in violation of the law or for a clearly unintended purpose.
