Quintrex 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 Quintrex Three Year Limited Warranty Special Provisions. (For warranty conditions on your outboard motor and QUINTREX Trailer, refer to their applicable owners' manual supplied with these items). Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Quintrex boat warranty special provisions require that:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. The boat has not been damaged by neglect, accident, improper use or used for competitive purposes.
  4. The warranty does not cover any consequential expenses beyond the warranty repair of the boat itself, e.g. Freighting.

  8. Internal side panels are warranted against defects and not against degradation caused by fuel.
  9. The fitting of wedges and anti-ventilation plate foils to the outboard/inboard engine could void the warranty (refer to special provision 2).
  10. 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.
  11. 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.

    2. the repair of the boat or products,
    at Telwaters' option with all freighting costs to be the purchaser's responsibility.
