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:
SPECIAL PROVISIONS REQUIRE THAT:

- The warranty does not cover any consequential expenses beyond the warranty repair of the boat itself, e.g. Freighting.
- Paint is warranted against defective paint or application, NOT against the normal effect of wear and tear, oxidisation, fuel or solvents damage or dissimilar metals.

- Fitting of wedges and anti-ventilation plate foils could void the warranty. (Refer to special provisions No. 3)
- Work agreed to be repaired by Makocraft will be done ex-factory, and freighting cost to and from the factory will be the purchaser’s responsibility NOT Makocraft Australia 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.
- 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 Makocraft limits it liability for breach to:(a) the replacement of the boat or products; or(b) the repair of the boat or products,
