General Provisions

All general, special, indirect, incidental and/or consequential damages are excluded from this warranty and are totally disclaimed by Doral. It is in the interest of the parties that the owner's sole remedy is the repair of the vessel or its defective component parts and that no other legal or equitable remedies shall be available to said owner. Some provinces or states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages so the foregoing may not apply to you. This is a limited warranty; Doral makes no warranty, other than contained herein; any warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose arising in province or state law is limited to the period of this limited warranty. All obligations of Doral are specifically set forth herein. Doral does not authorize any person or dealer to assume any liability in connections with Doral boats and for the purpose of the warranty; dealers are not agents of Doral. Some provinces or states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts. So the above limitation may not apply to you. Doral's obligation with respect to this warranty is limited to making repairs to, or replacing the defective parts and no claim for breach of warranty shall be cause for cancellation or rescission of the contract or sale for any boat manufactured by Doral.

Doral will discharge its obligations under this warranty as rapidly as possible, but cannot guarantee any specific date due to the different natures of claims that may be made and services that may be required. Doral reserves the right to change or improve the design of its boats (or change items or appliances) without obligation to modify any boats previously manufactured. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which may vary under the jurisdiction of the authorized dealer. Doral shall in no way be responsible for any repairs not pre-authorized by Doral's service department or repairs performed by a repair shop not pre-authorized with written consent by Doral's service department.

For the warranty to be valid the owner of said boat must have fire/theft/liability insurance in good standing. Doral may request proof of such insurance.
