National warranty conditions
In some countries the local laws stipulate
different warranty rules than those outlined
here. Please note that these local rules
only apply in the country where you have
purchased your wing. Information about
local rules and conditions are available
from your local dealer.
International UP warranty
Warranty conditions:
The international UP warranty covers
material- and workmanship faults and is
valid for 24 months from the delivery date.
The UP warranty covers the cost of
materials and workmanship on gliders
accepted by UP to fall under the warranty.
The UP warranty does not cover damage
caused by accidents, or by changes made
to the glider. Likewise, parts that are
damaged due to normal wear and tear are
exempt from warranty coverage. Fabric
colour changes that do not influence the
behaviour or safety of the wing are not
covered by the warranty, and neither are
faults caused by the exposure to solvents
or salt water, or plain incorrect handling of
the wing.
For any warranty claim to be accepted
the following conditions must be
adhered to:
The paraglider was used under
normal
circumstances
and
was
maintained
according
to
the
instructions given by UP International.
Note that these include instruction for
the correct packing, storing and
cleaning.
The paraglider was only used in
accordance
with
its
DHV
certification.
A complete logbook showing all
flights, with duration and location,
must be presented upon request.
Only original UP spares have
been used, and only UP, or a UP
affiliate
service
centre,
has
performed repairs or service jobs
on the paraglider.
A complete, correct registration
card has been filled in and sent to
UP within 14 days of the purchase.
Note that you may also register
your paraglider with UP via the UP
homepage:

UP reserves the right to refuse any
claims not honouring one or several of
these conditions. However, in some
cases an “ex gratia” settlement may be
offered.
Checking the UP Kibo
According to German and Austrian
aeronautical legislation (§ 14 Abs. 5
LuftGerP) the owner of a glider can
check the airworthiness by his own, or
authorise a third person (for example
manufacturer/importer) to do this.
To perform your own airworthiness
check, UP International must give you
a briefing. This briefing could be done
after
an
agreement
with
UP
International and is only valid for the
UP Kibo. The owner gets the so-called
"Nachprüfanweisung" after completing
a
successful
checking
at
UP
International.
Should the owner decide to check the
wing by himself, or employ a 3
rd
party
to do so, they must make sure that
