ENGLISH 14/05/2014 31/87 DUFOUR 560 Grand Large
goods and for latent defects under the conditions
provided for under Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French
Civil Code and the provisions of the Order dated
17/2/2005, where applicable.
B) COMMON GUARANTEE CONDITIONS
Any claim under these guarantee conditions must be
made formally to DUFOUR YACHTS in writing as soon
as the defect is discovered, and within eight (8) days for
claims under the contractual guarantee. Any claim will
also be required to quote the serial number of the boat
concerned, and where applicable the part number(s) of
the part(s) involved in the guarantee claim.
Furthermore, the request must indicate the exact
circumstances under which the problem occurred.
In order to investigate the request DUFOUR
YACHTS may ask for any details and appoint, at its own
expense, a survey-or or technician of its choice to
determine the circumstances of the occurrence of the
problem and demand any necessary papers.
Immobilization following problems encountered and/or
replacement and/or repair work, whatever the duration,
does not create entitlement to compensation.
The owner shall under all circumstances remain liable
for parking fees, customs dues and other ancillary
expenses.
All repairs and/or replacements will be carried out by an
authorized DUFOUR YACHTS agent or by a
professional duly acting under the Boatbuilder’s
instructions. If the nature of the repairs requires the
guarantee repair work to be carried out in DUFOUR
YACHTS workshops or in any location other than the
place where the Product is located, the owner will be
liable for the cost of both outward and return transport to
the Yacht builder.
In the event of the boat’s needing to be taken out of the
water, haul-out and re-launching costs will be at the
owner’s expense.
C) TRANSFER OF GUARANTEES
The guarantees are afforded to the first purchaser of the
boat involved. They are only transferable with DUFOUR
YACHTS’ prior written agreement.
An ownership transfer note is supplied with the Product
documents. This must be sent to DUFOUR YACHTS
within thirty (30) days of the transfer.
This note must bear the names, addresses and
telephone numbers of the old owner and the Purchaser,
the date of sale, and the Product’s hull number.
Upon reception, DUFOUR YACHTS will confirm the
guarantee expiry dates and specify whether the unit has
received the annual inspection that gives entitlement to
the continuation of the contractual guarantees.
