TERMS & CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS
  1. Richard Goode Aerobatics ("RGA") sells new and used Sukhoi and Yakovlev aircraft, spares and provides maintenance and repairs. The terms under which this business is undertaken are:
  2. Aircraft Sales & Guarantee
    1. Typically our aircraft come from Eastern Europe and are sold prior to overhaul. In these circumstances RGA will give estimates of delivery in good faith but cannot be responsible for any loss due to late delivery of aircraft. If however aircraft are significantly later than the time RGA have indicated, RGA may, at its discretion, pay interest on deposits held for this extra period.
    2. The duration and terms of any guarantee on aircraft sold will be specified in the formal documentation between RGA and the purchaser.
    3. For any guarantee claim to be made against RGA, the aircraft must be delivered to our premises at White Waltham Airfield. Clearly there will be cases where this is impractical, and at that stage we will attempt to come to an acceptable alternative with the customer involved.
    4. The guarantee is subject to the calendar time/hours limitation specified by RGA and is restricted to the provision of a new/overhauled component/sub-assembly to replace the item that has failed.
    5. The guarantee clearly does not cover any failures due to poor maintenance; mishandling; pilot error, or normal wear and tear.
    6. If RGA is required to send a part/component to replace a defective one, RGA will usually pay for carriage of the new part/component, and the return to RGA of the failed part/component
    7. Where aircraft are returned to RGA to resolve problems under guarantee, RGA is not responsible in anyway for the costs of returning the aircraft to RGA at White Waltham.
    8. Prior to delivery of an aircraft the customer may undertake whatever checks they would like to confirm that the aircraft is in acceptable condition and subsequent to that, payment to RGA is due, in full, before the aircraft is formally delivered. Once delivery has occurred then the guarantee (above) applies for any defects.
