6. IMPORTANT FACTS
• The Purchaser must inspect the recreational vehicle at the time of delivery to ensure that it is acceptable as delivered. This
recreational vehicle has been sold to an independent dealer, and not an agent of Gulf Stream, for resale in the ordinary course
of the dealer's business, on terms and conditions and equipped as the dealer and the initial retail purchaser determine, and the
initial retail purchaser's agreement is solely with the dealer, not Gulf Stream. Gulf Stream does not participate in retail sales
or retail contracts.
• Gulf Stream reserves the unrestricted right at any time and from time to time to make changes in the design of and/or
improvements upon its recreational vehicles without thereby imposing any obligation upon itself to make corresponding
changes or improvements in or upon its recreational vehicles already manufactured. Gulf Stream further reserves the right to
substitute parts or components of substantially equal quality in any warranty service required by operation of this Limited
Warranty.
• Like any other product, a recreational vehicle and the products installed in it will require care and maintenance attention by
the owner and occupants. Please read and follow all care and maintenance manuals, warning labels, safety notices and
instructions supplied with the recreational vehicle.
• Authorized dealers and service centers are independent contractors and independently owned businesses. This is also true of
the authorized chassis dealers and service centers.
7. JURISDICTION AND APPLICABLE LAW
Exclusive jurisdiction for deciding any claims, demands or causes of action for defects or representations of any nature or
damages due from such defects or representations shall be in the courts in the State of Manufacture. The laws applicable to any
litigation, dispute, mediation, arbitration or any claim whatsoever arising from the sale, purchase, or use of the recreational vehicle
shall be those of the State of Manufacture. The State of Manufacture of the recreational vehicle is Indiana.
