64. Definitions. As used in this clause -

The term “craft” as used herein means the entire vessel including all subassemblies, components, accessories, and spare parts even when such subassemblies, components, accessories, or spare parts are packaged separately or accepted at a different time from the vessel hull.

The term "defects" as used herein includes any and all defects, deficiencies, deteriorations, and failures in the craft or its components or accessories.

The term "accepted" or “acceptance” as used herein means the execution of the Acceptance

Block and signing of a DD Form 250 by an authorized Government representative at destination, which action will begin the guarantee period.

65. Scope and Coverage Period: The Contractor guarantees that the craft accepted by the

Government shall be free from defects in design, material or workmanship and shall also guarantee that the craft conforms to the contract requirements. The guarantee period for each craft shall begin at the time of Government acceptance and end twelve (12) months after acceptance of the craft, unless extended as referenced in paragraph 63 above.

66. Government Furnished Property: With respect to Government-Furnished Property (GFP), the Contractor’s guarantee shall extend only to the proper installation of the GFP, unless the

Contractor performs some modification or other work on the GFP, in which case the

Contractor’s guarantee shall extend to the modification or other work.

67. Extension of Guarantee Period: The guarantee period for each craft shall be extended by the time during which such craft is not available for unrestricted service by reason of any defects for which the Contracting Officer shall determine the Contractor to be responsible. During said period the craft, after being fully equipped and in all respects complete and ready for service, may be finally tried by and at the expense of the Government.

68. Remedies and Responsibilities: The Government will notify the Contractor of any defects or requirement nonconformities that are discovered within the guarantee period.
