factors beyond the control of the Boat Manufacturer,
such as weather variations, normal wear and tear,
condensation, improper or inadequate maintenance,
inadequate repair of damage, use or storage contrary
to the instructions in the Owner's Manual or negligent
use, misuse, corrosion caused by antifouling paint and
electrical leakage from outside the Boat or from the
engine. The warranty does not cover aesthetic ab-
normalities, hairline cracks, discolouration caused by
UV radiation, surface rusting of railings or kneepads,
oxidation, moulding or yellowing, fading or melting of
colours due to the use of solvents. The warranty also
does not cover any defect not notified to the Dealer
or the Boat Manufacturer in accordance with these
warranty conditions.
The Boatbuilder shall not be liable for a defect if
the Boat has been used in conditions more demand-
ing than the design category or design standards or
if the Boatbuilder considers it likely that the defect is
due to a cause on the part of the Customer. The cause
may be, for example, accident, failure to comply with
the instructions for use or care or other handling con-
trary to the instructions or out of the ordinary, or fail-
ure to carry out maintenance in accordance with the
maintenance instructions issued by the Boat Builder,
or failure to carry out the maintenance properly.
The boat manufacturer's liability only covers de-
fects that occur when the boat is used in accordance
with the instructions and in normal use.
5. Procedure in case of errors
The Customer must notify the Boat Dealer in the first
instance and the Boat Manufacturer in the second in-
stance of the defect within a reasonable time from
the time he discovered or should have discovered the
defect, with the risk of invalidating the warranty. The
Consumer Customer must report the defect within
two (2) months from the time he discovered the de-
fect, on pain of voiding the warranty. The customer
must take reasonable steps to limit the damage. If
the Customer fails to do so, the Customer shall be li-
able for the damage to the extent that the failure has
contributed to the damage. In the event of a defect,
the Customer must always act in such a way that the
damage is not increased by his actions or omissions
(e.g. refrain from using the defective product and en-
sure that it is repaired without delay).
When reporting a defect, the Customer must pre-
sent a warranty card or other reliable proof of the
Terhi – Owner's manual
validity of the warranty. The Boat Manufacturer and
the Dealer shall agree on the method of rectification
of the defect.
The Customer shall provide the Dealer or the Boat
Manufacturer with the necessary information and
pictures of the defect, the date and circumstances of
its occurrence, the warranty card and his own contact
details.
The Dealer shall provide the Boat Manufacturer
with a written estimate of the cost of repairing the
defect. The estimate shall be accompanied by photo-
graphs of the defect. The Dealer shall not commence
the repair without the written permission of the Boat
Manufacturer.
For equipment installed on the boat, the Dealer
shall provide the Equipment Supplier with a written
estimate of the cost of repairing the defect. The es-
timate shall be accompanied by photographs of the
defect. The Dealer shall not commence the repair
without the written permission of the Supplier.
The Boat Manufacturer shall provide the Dealer
with the contact details of the Equipment Supplier.
6. Obligations of the boat manufacturer in the
event of a defect
When a defect occurs in the Boat, the Customer has
the right to request that the Boat Manufacturer en-
deavours to correct the defect within a reasonable
time after receiving notification of the defect.
The boat manufacturer has the right to repair the
defect in the first instance if this can be done within
a reasonable time, taking into account the nature and
extent of the defect, and in such a way that the Cus-
tomer does not incur any costs or suffer any substan-
tial inconvenience as a result of the repair, taking into
account the intended use of the boat. The repair shall
be carried out at a repairer designated by the Boat
Manufacturer. However, every effort will be made to
carry out the repair at a location that is most con-
venient for both the Customer and the Boat Manu-
facturer. If the defect is minor and does not interfere
with the use of the Boat, the repair may be carried out
during the winter storage of the Boat at the end of
the boating season.
If a defect in the Boat is not covered by the warran-
ty, the Boat Manufacturer must inform the Customer
and ask whether the Customer wishes the defect to
be remedied. In this case, the Boatbuilder may charge
the Customer for the cost of repairing the defect. The
