To make a claim under warranty, please read the following information carefully.
Conditions of Warranty:
- To ensure that a written record of all warranty claims is kept, we cannot discuss warranty issues by telephone unless an online Warranty Claim Request has been received.
- Any correspondence must be in writing, either by email or fax, to ensure that all claims are fully documented and kept on file.
- No warranty claim can be processed without receipt of the online Warranty Claim Request form.
- New boats are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty against all defects for at least 12 months.
- On used boats, our warranty covers the engine against major mechanical fault for the first 3 months. It does not cover electrical or navigational items.
- Unless otherwise agreed at the time of purchase, warranty cover begins from the date on your final invoice.
- This warranty does not apply to brokerage boats purchased through us.
- Serviceable and wearing items, such as filters, belts, prop shafts, props etc., are not covered by this warranty.
- If a defect is found to have been caused by an operator error, then you will be liable for parts and labour charges.
- All warranty work must be initiated and authorised by Burton Waters Marina Limited. Without official authorisation, Burton Waters Marina cannot be held liable for costs incurred.
How to make a claim:
- Complete and submit the Warranty Claim Request form, on receipt of which we will require you to fax (+44 (0)1522 580 931) or post a copy of your final invoice and any service history to us.
- On receipt of the Warranty Claim Request form, we will assess your boat’s eligibility and issue a claim number if appropriate. NB: Please keep a note of this claim number so that you can track your claim. We may call you to discuss any questions or queries that we/you may have regarding the claim.
- Once we have established what is and is not covered by the warranty, we will normally take one of 3 courses of action:–
- Send an engineer to your vessel to correct the fault (normally within 30 days).
- Request that you acquire 2 quotes from local companies to rectify the fault.
- Request that you return the boat to our premises where we will carry out the repairs.
Please Note: Costs incurred for towing, lifting, storage, moorings and transport to and from an authorised repair centre are the customer’s responsibility.
- If new faults arise during or after the work is carried out, a new claim will need to be submitted.
