Below is what I found on DG's FAQ website (https://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/en/mai...vice-contract).

Am I reading this incorrectly?

"I own a glider made by your company, which I just purchased second hand. Do I have to conclude a Service Agreement?
No you don’t have to. All gliders built after 1996 by DG Flugzeugbau take advantage of our lifelong after-sales-service. You have virtually purchased it with your used aircraft. The same applies to customers who own such a DG- or LS-glider and want to sell it. The buyer does not have to sign a Service Agreement."
