If you select any alternative Products because the original Products ordered by you are or become unavailable at or after the time of placing your Pre-order or Order with us, we will endeavour to provide these alternative Products without delays to your original shipping estimate. However, this may not always be possible depending on the Products selected by you and the availability of our logistics partners.

You may also contact us to request a change to your Pre-order or Order prior to shipment. It is at our full discretion whether we allow changes once you have submitted the Pre-order or Order to us. If we accept any changes, this may result in delays in the shipping and handling of the relevant Products.

Use of the Products may carry some risk, including risk of injury or death to you or any person who uses the Products.

We take every precaution to ensure that the Products are as safe as possible, and that at all times clear, up-to-date instructions for use and care of the Products are provided to our users. Using the Products at all times in conformity with all instructions, manuals, user guides, and other materials will significantly reduce the risk of harm to you and any person using the Products with you. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with all instruction and safety materials.

You acknowledge and agree that you use the Products freely, voluntarily and absolutely at your own risk and with a full appreciation of the nature and extent of all risks involved in using the Products.

You further acknowledge and agree that due to the nature of the activities associated with the Products, it would be unreasonable for us to be in any way responsible for any injury to you or any person that uses the Products, including the death of you or any person that uses the Products. To the full extent permitted by law, you waive all of your legal rights of action against and fully release us for any loss, damage, injury or death arising out of or in relation to your use of the Products, or use of the Products by any other person. This waiver includes (without limitation) any right you or any other person might derive from our liability for any negligent or tortious act or omission, our breach of duty, or breach of contract or breach of statutory duty by us, our directors, employees or agents.

This waiver is binding on you, and your executors, your legal personal representative and your estate, and we will rely on this waiver.

a) the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of this Purchase Agreement; or

b) the legality, validity or enforceability under the law of any other jurisdiction of that or any other provision of this Purchase Agreement.

 

Fliteboard Warranty

This Warranty is effective from 23 February 2021

What this Warranty covers

This Warranty applies to all Fliteboard products sold by Fliteboard Pty Ltd and any authorised reseller of any of that entity (collectively referred to as ‘Fliteboard’ in this Warranty).

Fliteboard is proud to warrant that its products will be free of defects arising from faulty materials or workmanship in the normal use of the product for the Warranty period set out below.

This means that, should you have any issue with your products, you can return these to us and be sure that you will be back on the water as soon as possible.

How long this Warranty lasts

Your Warranty lasts for 2 years from the date your product(s) are shipped to you (‘Purchase Date’).

Who can make a Warranty claim

You can make a Warranty claim if you are the owner of the product and it is within the warranty terms and period.

Please keep the invoice for your purchase for reference.

How we will honour your Warranty

If you think you have a Warranty claim, please contact us using the details below. We will step you through the process of determining whether you have a valid Warranty claim. This will usually involve working with you via photographs and videos to assess the nature and extent of the issue.

All Warranty determinations will be made by us in accordance with this Warranty and will be final.

When a Warranty claim is valid, and none of the exclusions below apply and it is not otherwise covered by a local law (see below), Fliteboard will take one of the following actions, at our discretion:

  1. supply you with a replacement product (in the case of a part, a replacement of the relevant part which is defective) free of charge in the same quantity as was initially purchased;
  2. repair the defective product; or
  3. pay for the cost of repairing the product or supplying the replacement product. 

 

If you have a valid Warranty claim, Fliteboard will pay for any associated shipping costs, which may be costs associated with sending the product to an authorised Flite Service Centre or to Fliteboard directly.

If we receive a product submitted to us under a warranty claim and we determine, upon inspection, that it is not a valid warranty claim, we may require that you pay for the costs of shipping the product both to us and return to you, before we return the product to you. We may also advise you of any service charges if we determine a service is recommended for the product, but will not conduct any service work until you have approved our doing so. 

What this Warranty does not cover

This Warranty does not cover:

  1. damage caused by vandalism, maltreatment, interference and neglect from the Purchase Date;
  2. damage resulting from use that does not follow the care and maintenance conditions provided by Fliteboard;
  3. damage resulting from maintenance that is not in accordance or compliance with the Fliteboard maintenance procedure;
  4. damage caused by the use of accessories that are not manufactured or otherwise approved by Fliteboard;
  5. a product in which the seal of any kind is broken;
  6. damage resulting from use of the product for which it is not designed;
  7. a product that has been modified or repaired by someone other than by Fliteboard or a person authorised by Fliteboard to do so;
  8. personal injury, death, property damage or economic loss, however caused;
  9. Warranty claims made outside two (2) months from when you became aware of the defect or material damage or from when a reasonable person should have become aware of the defect or material damage;
  10. damage caused by or resulting from normal wear and tear, negligent use, wilful misconduct or malicious or improper use, including but not limited to errors or omissions made by you or another person using the product, use in unsafe locations, and/or use in unsafe conditions, such as inclement weather or otherwise not in accordance with the product manual(s) and/or instructions provided with the product.

 

Fliteboard reserves the right to alter its product specifications, manuals and/or instructions and introduce improvements at any time.

Local laws may have different requirements

Nothing in this Warranty excludes or restricts statutory guarantees that cannot be excluded under local laws. This Warranty should be read subject to the provisions of all relevant local laws, and, where required, Fliteboard will honour its obligations under those laws.
