Warranty Periods and Conditions

Stessl boats are warranted for thirty six (36) calendar months (3 years) after the boat has been sold by our dealer for the first time. Purchasing of a  Boat & Dunbier Trailer Package offers an extended one (1) year warranty, if ordered on a fitted & supplied Dunbier Trailer from Horizon Aluminium Boats Pty Ltd  and not dealer fitted boat & trailer packages, meaning the boat hull only (Structure only) and trailer are covered for a total of three years (36 calendar months). For warranty conditions on the Dunbier Trailer, refer to their applicable owners' manual supplied with the trailer. Our liability for Stessl boats manufactured by Horizon Aluminium Boats Pty Ltd is limited to making good any defects by repairing the same or at our option by replacement, in a period not exceeding the warranty period. 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. Provided that:

8. Windscreen/windshield breakage and leakage around    windscreens/windshields or other designed openings are not covered under warranty.
9. All items fitted to a Horizon Boat which are not manufactured by Horizon Boats will be applicable to their own warranty as implied by the manufacture of the product.
10. Horizon Aluminium Boats Pty Ltd will NOT warrant boats, which have been improperly trailed. E.g. wobble/ multi roller trailers and off road use. Incorrect or insufficient tie down from vessel to trailer, no engine support through an engine support bracket.
11. Fitting of wedges and anti-ventilation plate foils could void the warranty. (Refer to special provisions No. 3)
12. Work agreed to be repaired by Stessl will be done ex-factory, and freighting cost to and from the factory will be the purchaser’s responsibility NOT Horizon Aluminium Boats PTY LTD, however for regional dealers a value equivalent to cost done ex-factory can be made available on special request. The warranty does not cover items replaced during normal service and maintenance operations which are subject to wear. These arrangements apply regardless of any change in ownership during the period covered.
13. 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 Horizon limits it liability for breach to:

(a)   the replacement of the boat or products; or

At Horizons’ option, with all freighting costs to be the purchaser’s responsibility. (Refer to special provisions No.12)

14. 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 Horizon Aluminium Boats on the boat or any part thereof. Any such warranties under the Sale Of Goods Act are expressly excluded.
