ABJET® LIMITED WARRANTY

 

 

 

 

1. WHAT IS COVERED. 

The AB DISTRIBUTOR warrants from the original date of purchase, 

and  subject  to  the limitations  below,  to  the original  retail  purchaser (“Owner”)  of  a 
properly  registered  ABJET®  purchased  under  normal  conditions, that  it will repair  or 
replace,  at  its  discretion,  the  following  items: 

A.  Fabric. 

The  Chlorosulfonated 

Polyethylene (CSM) coated fabric of the tubes is warranted for a period of ten (10) years 
against porosity  deterioration affecting  serviceability. This Limited Warranty  coverage 
EXCLUDES discoloration, puncture, fading, tearing, ripping, cracking, abrasion, chaffing, 
negligence, accident or ordinary wear and tears. AB will repair or replace the defective part 
or component at no charge during year one (1) through five (5). During years six (6) to ten 
(10), if it is determined that the fabric is defective and in the event of replacement of 
inflatable tube, such replacement will be offered at the following discount from the then 
current manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the models: 50% discount in year 6; 40% 
discount in year 7; 30% discount in year 8; 20% discount in year 9; or 10% discount in year

 

10. 

B. Valves: 

The inflation valves and tube seams are warranted for five (5) years against 

defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty EXCLUDES ordinary wear and tear, 
negligence, or damage by improper inflation techniques. 

C. Seams: 

The air holding seams 

of the inflatable tube are warranted for five (5) years against separation and subsequent 
loss of air, which exceeds twenty percent (20%) of recommended inflation pressure when 
measured  over  a  period  of  five  (5)  days,  while  maintaining  the  ABJET®  at  a  constant 
temperature in a  controlled  environment.  The  major cause  of  damage is  the result of 
running the ABJET® underinflated. The Owner is expected to check and properly maintain 
the correct inflation pressure before using the ABJET®, or when temperature variations 
have  exceeded  ten  degrees  Celsius  (10°C)  or  fifty  degrees  Fahrenheit  (50°F)  since 
inflation,  or when  running under  unusual operation conditions. 

D. Fiberglass hull: 

The 

composite of fiberglass hulls is warranted for 

three 

(

3

) years against structural defects in 

materials and workmanship. This warranty EXCLUDES the surface finish or any damage 
due  to  misuse,  negligence  or  ordinary  wear  and  tear. 

E.  Accessories: 

Components 

manufactured and installed by AB to the ABJET® at the factory are warranted from defects 
in material and workmanship for 

three 

(

3

) years, EXCLUDING bilge pumps. This warranty 

EXCLUDES any painted or finished surface.  Third party manufacturer equipment, such 
as  electronics,  installed  on  ABJET®  will  be  covered  by  the  respective  manufacturer’s 
warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing stated time periods, the warranty period for all 
items warranted  under this Limited Warranty for ABJET®s used  for commercial and/or 
governmental use will be four (4) months. Repaired or replaced items shall be warranted 
as provided herein for the remainder of the applicable warranty period. Defective parts 
or components that are replaced shall thereupon become AB DISTRIBUTOR’s property. 
The Owner must fully cooperate in good faith with the AB DISTRIBUTOR to allow repair 
or replacement as provided above, failing which cooperation this Limited Warranty is null 
and void. AB DISTRIBUTOR’S  obligation is solely and exclusively limited to repairing  or 
replacing, at its option, any covered items found to be defective at a facility designated 
by AB DISTRIBUTOR. The foregoing is the Owner’s SOLE and EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Routine 
maintenance indicated in the Owner’s manual must be performed properly and timely in 
order to maintain warranty coverage and not have it voided.

 

2.

 

ENGINE WARRANTY. 

To check the warranty terms for the engine, ALWAYS refer to the 

BRP  Operators  Manual  included  in  the  Owner’s  package.  All  engine  warranties, 
maintenance or repairs must be done in an approved ABJET® Service Center or third parties 
previously authorized by AB for servicing ABJET®, otherwise the Limited Warranty will be 
void.  Take  into account that the Electronic  Control  Module (ECM) records all faults  and 
operational events since the ABJET® is launched. It not only saves the fault when it occurs, 
but also, the period when the ABJET® is operated with an active fault. This information is 
considered to solve a warranty issue.  Special Notes. The following negligent events will not 
be covered by the Limited Warranty under any circumstance and are excluded: (I) if the 
towing procedure is performed with the shut-off valve open. The water will enter into the 
engine causing partial or total damage. You must take the boat to an authorized ABJET® 
dealer or service center within a few hours after the event  occurs. Otherwise, engine will 
have to be overhauled. (ii)  If the  ABJET®  is  operated  with the  shut-off valve  closed.  You 
must open the shut-off valve to allow the water to come into  the engine; otherwise the 
engine  will  be  overheated.  (iii)  If  the  ABJET®  is  operated  with  the  overheating  alarm 
activated. 

 

3.
