International UP warranty
Warranty conditions:
The international UP warranty covers
material- and workmanship faults and is
valid for 24 months from the delivery date.
The UP warranty covers the cost of
materials and workmanship on gliders
accepted by UP to fall under the warranty.
The UP warranty does not cover damage
caused by accidents, or by changes made
to the glider. Likewise, parts that are
damaged due to normal wear and tear are
exempt from warranty coverage. Fabric
colour changes that do not influence the
behaviour or safety of the wing are not
covered by the warranty, and neither are
faults caused by the exposure to solvents
or salt water, or plain incorrect handling of
the wing.
For any warranty claim to be accepted
the following conditions must be
adhered to:
The paraglider was used under
normal circumstances and was
maintained according to the
instructions given by UP International.
Note that these include instruction for
the correct packing, storing and
cleaning
The paraglider was only used in
accordance with its DHV certification
A complete logbook showing all
flights, with duration and location,
must be presented upon request
Only original UP spares have been
used, and only UP, or a UP affiliate
service centre, has performed repairs
or service jobs on the paraglider
A complete, correct registration card
has been filled in and sent to UP within
14 days of the purchase. Note that you
may also register your paraglider with
UP via the UP homepage

UP reserves the right to refuse any
claims not honouring one or several of
these conditions. However, in some
cases an “ex gratia” settlement may be
offered.
Checking the
UP Summit XC²
According to German and Austrian
aeronautical legislation (§ 14 Abs. 5
LuftGerP) the owner of a glider can
check the airworthiness by his own, or
authorise a third person (for example
manufacturer/importer) to do this.
To perform your own airworthiness
check, UP International must give you
a briefing. This briefing could be done
after an agreement with UP
International and is only valid for the
UP Summit XC². The owner gets the
so-called "Nachprüfanweisung" after
completing a successful checking at
UP International.
Should the owner decide to check the
wing by himself, or employ a 3
rd
party
to do so they must make sure that
UP‟s guidelines are adhered to. Failing
to do so will void the certification.
DHV and UP International highly
recommend that you let the
manufacturer/importer or a DHV
accepted service company do the
check of airworthiness.
Packing and checking
of the rescue system
Only by regularly having your rescue
parachute repacked can you
guarantee its flawless operation! As
with the glider, the rescue parachute
