Warranty
3 Year Limited Hull Warranty
Telwater Pty Ltd: Our liability for boats of our own
manufacture is limited to making good any defects by
repairing the same or, at our option, by replacement within
a period not exceeding thirty six (36) calendar months after
the boat has been sold by our dealer for the first time,
subject to the Telwater Three Year Limited Warranty Special
Provisions. (For warranty conditions on the Mariner and
Mercury Outboard motor and TELWATER Trailer, refer to their
applicable owners’ manual supplied with these items).
Special Provisions:
The boat must be maintained and used in accordance
with the Boat Capacity Plate and Necessary Maintenance
Directions attached to the boat and owners manual.
The boat and/or outboard/inboard engine must not have
been altered or operated outside safe boating practices
or the limits of the design specifications set down in the
brochure or owners manual.
The boat has not been damaged by neglect, accident,
improper use or used for competitive purposes.
The warranty does not cover any consequential expenses
beyond the warranty repair of the boat itself, e.g. Freighting.
Telwater Pty. Ltd. shall not be liable for consequential loss of
any kind arising out of the supply or operation of the boat.
Paint is warranted against defective paint or application,
NOT against the normal effect of oxidization and degradation
caused by fuel and dissimilar metals.
The normal effect of oxidisation of aluminium has
the potential to bubble paint surface finish. Surface
contaminates could cause oxidisation if not removed from
the vessel.
Internal side panels are warranted against defects and not
against degradation caused by fuel.
The fitting of wedges and anti-ventilation plate foils to the
outboard/inboard engine could void the warranty (refer to
special provision 2).
Any work agreed to be repaired by Telwater will be done ex
factory, and freighting costs to and from the factory will be
the purchasers responsibility. The warranty does not cover
items replaced during normal service and maintenance
operations and which are subject to wear. These
arrangements apply regardless of any change in ownership
during the period covered.
Subject to item 12, the above warranty is in lieu of any and
all warranties expressed or implied, conferred by statute or
otherwise and is the only warranty given by Telwater on the
boat or any part thereof. Any warranties under the Sale Of
Goods Act are expressly excluded.
All warranties and conditions implied under the Trade
Practices Act, including as to one of merchantable quality,
are not excluded by this warranty except that Telwater limits
its liability for breach to:
• the replacement of the boat or products;
• or the repair of the boat or products,
• at Telwaters’ option with all freighting costs to be the
purchaser’s responsibility.
Excludes windscreen/windshield breakage and leakage
around windscreens/windshields or other designed openings.
Telwater provides a general warranty as to the fitness for
the purpose for the period of 12 months from the date
of purchase with regard to upholstery, including lounges,
backrests and seats.
Telwater will NOT warrant boats, which have been
improperly trailed. E.g. the use of multi roller trailers,
Incorrect or insufficient tie down from vessel to trailer, no
engine support through an engine support bracket and off
road use.
Commercial Use
Telwater Pty. Ltd. does not warrant boats used
commercially or warrant that boats are suitable for your
particular commercial application. It is a condition of
the sale to you of any boat or Telwater product that the
warranties and special provisions as set out above form
part of the contract of sale between Telwater and you.
