Contact: support@mantafoils.com | www.mantafoils.com
1. Scope and Acceptance
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern all purchases of Manta Foils products by any person or entity (“Customer”) from Manta Foils FZ-LLC (“Manta Foils”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), including through our website, distributors, or direct sales. These Terms apply to both business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) transactions across all regions in which we operate.
By placing an order or purchasing a product, the Customer expressly agrees to be bound by these Terms. These Terms supersede any prior communications, representations, or agreements, whether oral or written. Any conflicting or additional terms provided by the Customer are hereby rejected and shall not apply unless expressly accepted in writing by Manta Foils.
2. Products Covered
Equipment Setup Disclaimer:
An eFoil or foil assist system must be used with appropriate board, foil, and propeller configurations to function as intended. The effectiveness of the system is highly dependent on proper equipment selection. For example, using a low-volume board (under 70 liters) with a rider weighing more than 80 kg typically requires a foil surface area greater than 1100 cm². Similarly, the shape and profile of the board and hydrofoil play a critical role in achieving sufficient lift and momentum. Manta Foils is not responsible if the product does not allow the rider to foil, as numerous factors—including board volume and shape, foil surface area, rider weight, water conditions, rider technique, and setup compatibility—affect performance. We recommend browsing reliable online sources or contacting our support team directly for guidance on selecting a proper foil setup tailored to your use case.
Images and product illustrations displayed on our website, in brochures, or on marketing materials are for informational purposes only. They are not contractual and may not reflect the exact appearance, specifications, or configuration of the product delivered. Manta Foils reserves the right to make changes to product features, finishes, or design without prior notice, and such variations shall not constitute grounds for return or compensation.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates.
