  1. Each new Nautilus Inflatable Boat and its accessories attached thereto [hereafter called the boat] sold by Nautilus Inflatable Boats NZ [and hereafter called the trader] is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship.
  2. This warranty shall become effective only on receipt of a completed registration form by the purchaser and returned to trader within 3 months of date of purchase.

The warranty is for a three year period on the fabric, and a three year period on the seams, and a one year period on the remainder of the boat including the seat[s], oars, rowlocks, floor boards, GRP and alloy RIB hulls, paint systems, rubbing strakes, valves and lifting handles, and reducing pro rata from the date of purchase, provided that the boat shall be stored under-cover and protected from sunlight and the elements at all reasonable times when not in use.
  4. This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage, over-pressurisation, commercial use including charter use, neglect, racing, or lack of maintenance, fading or oxidation or other damage caused by ultra-violet radiation or sun damage fuel and  solvents. Nor does it cover use or abuse of any accessory not sold by us with the boat.
  5. This warranty does not cover any incidental or consequential loss, loss of time, inconvenience or loss of income, or any costs of any type consequent to any claim under this warranty.
  6. Claims shall be made under this warranty by delivering the boat during normal working hours for inspection by the Trader who will then either do the repairs or arrange for the inspection and repair, provided such service is covered under the warranty. The purchaser shall pay for the cost of transportation required. If the service needed is not covered by this warranty the purchaser shall pay for all related labour, materials and any other associated expenses required to fix the problem. Any boat or parts shipped to the trader or agent must be shipped with freight prepaid.
  7. The traders obligations under this warranty shall be limited to repairing or replacing [at the traders sole discretion] any defective part. The trader reserves the right to improve or modify any boat without assuming any obligation to modify any boat previously manufactured.
  8. This warranty is intended to be in addition to any rights the purchaser may have pursuant to any 'fair trading' laws applicable in the country of purchase.

Note:

 In the interests of obtaining the longest life from your investment it is recommended that the boat  and  accessories be hosed down  after use with fresh water and stored in a cool [not freezing] dry place out of the sun and weather, while being slightly deflated.  Sun-covers are available from Nautilus Inflatable Boats NZ at very reasonable price.
