The purchaser should state the material defect or manufacturing fault, or the symptoms of the fault, in as ac-
curate a manner as possible, so that we can check if our guarantee obligation is applicable.

Duration of validity
This declaration only applies to claims made to us during the claim period as stated in this declaration. The

until after this period, then the consumer forfeits any rights or claims from this declaration.
Limitation by lapse of time
If we do not acknowledge the validity of a claim based on this declaration within the claim period, all claims
based on this declaration are barred by the statute of limitations after six months from the time of
implementation; however, this cannot occur before the end of the claim period.
Applicable law
This declaration, and the claims, rights and obligations arising from it, are based exclusively on the pertinent
German Law, without the norms of international private law, and excluding UN retail law.
Important safety notes
You have purchased a kit which can be assembled to produce a fully working RC model boat when fitted out
with the appropriate accessories. As manufacturers, we at GRAUPNER are not in a position to influence the
way you install, operate and maintain the boat, nor the other components used in connection with the model.
For this reason we are obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due to the
incompetent or incorrect use and operation of our products, or which are connected with such operation in any
way. Unless otherwise prescribed by binding law, the obligation of the GRAUPNER company to pay
compensation, regardless of the legal argument employed, is excluded. This includes personal injury, death,
damage to buildings, loss of trade or turnover, interruption of business or other indirect or direct damages which
are caused by the operation of the model.
Under all circumstances and in all cases the company’s overall liability is limited to the amount which you
actually paid for this model.
The model is operated at the sole risk of the operator. To avoid injury to persons and damage to
property please handle your model boat carefully and operate it conscientiously at all times.
Before you run the boat for the first time it is important to check that your private third party insurance policy
provides cover when you are operating model boats of this kind. If you are not sure, take out a special
insurance policy designed to cover the risks of RC modelling.
These safety notes are important, and must be kept in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be sure to
pass them on to the new owner.
The following points are important, and must be observed at all times:
This model is not suitable for children or young persons under fourteen years of age.
The projecting parts of the model may be sharp, and the tips of aerials and masts could cause eye injuries.
The parent or guardian must supervise the model’s assembly, as there are certain dangers inherent in the
use of tools and adhesives.
Always operate the model
carefully
when there are persons or animals in the water.
Always
keep well
clear of people and animals.
Do not run your boat in protected sites, animal or plant sanctuaries or sites of special scientific interest
(SSSI). Check with your local authority that the location you wish to use is suitable for model boats.
Never
run the model in salt water.
Never
operate your boat in adverse conditions, e.g. rain, storm, wind above Beaufort Scale 3, choppy
water or strong currents.
Since the model is dependent upon the wind, it should only be operated in light breezes of 1 to 2 Beaufort
(defined as ‘leaves moving slightly in the wind’). In stronger winds the boat may heel over severely and be
impossible to control; in the worst case it could take on so much water that it sinks. The boat is also
unsuitable for gusty conditions.
