Cannondale Limited Warranty - Cannondale Chase Series Owner's Manual

seCtion G.
Cannondale
limited WaRRanty
The specific warranty covering your Cannondale bicycle
is governed by the law of the state or country in which it
was purchased, and applies only to bicycles purchased
from Authorized Cannondale Retailers.
FRAMES (frame, fork structure, swing arm): Cannondale
frames (except freeride, see below) are warranted by
Cannondale Bicycle Corporation, 6 Trowbridge Drive,
Bethel, CT 0680 against manufacturing defects in
materials and/or workmanship for the lifetime of the
original owner.
Cannondale Freeride & Dirt Jumping bikes ( such as
Gemini, Gemini DH, Judge, and Chase) are warranted
against manufacturing defects in materials and/or
workmanship for a period of three (3) years from the date
of original retail purchase. The Freeride warranty does not
cover any bike purchased and used for rental purchase.
The Freeride warranty differs from the warranty as stated
in the Cannondale Owner's Manual only in its term. All
other conditions apply.
Components: All other components, including HeadShok
forks, suspension parts, frame fixtures and finishes (paint
and decals) are warranted against manufacturing defects
in materials and/or workmanship for a period of one year
from the date of original retail purchase. Suspension
forks (other than those made by Cannondale) are not
covered by this warranty, but are -separately covered by
the stated warranty of their manufacturer.
teRms of WaRRanty:
This warranty is not meant to suggest or imply
that the bicycle cannot be broken or will last
forever. It does mean that the bicycle is covered
subject to the terms of the warranty.
This warranty applies only to the original owner of a
Cannondale bicycle and is not transferable to subsequent
owners.
For any warranty claim to be considered, the bicycle
must be brought in to an Authorized Cannondale Bicycle
Retailer on the same continent on which the bicycle was
purchased. The bicycle must be in assembled condition
and accompanied by the original, dated sales receipt
for the bicycle. (Be sure to keep your receipt in a safe
place.)Serial Number
This warranty is void if the bicycle is subjected to
abuse, neglect, improper repair, improper maintenance,
alteration, modification, an accident or other abnormal,
excessive, or improper use.
This warranty applies only to bicycles purchased in
fully assembled and adjusted condition from Authorized
Cannondale Retailers or other outlets specifically
authorized by Cannondale to distribute Cannondale
bicycles.
Damage resulting from normal wear and tear, including
the results of fatigue, is not covered. Fatigue damage is
a symptom of the frame being worn out through normal
use. It is one kind of normal wear and tear, and it is the
owner's responsibility to inspect his/her bicycle. See
Section 5. and D.
Damage resulting
maintenance, or from installation of parts and accessories
not compatible with the Cannondale bicycle, is not
covered.
All labor charges for warranty service are the responsibility
of the bicycle's owner.
During the duration of this warranty, Cannondale will
either repair any defective frame, or, at our option,
replace any defective frame with the same or most
nearly comparable model then available. THIS IS THE
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS WARRANTY. ANY
AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES AND DAMAGES THAT
MAY OTHERWISE BE APPLICABLE ARE EXCLUDED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR PUNATIVE
DAMAGES.
THIS IS THE ONLY WARRANTY MADE BY CANNONDALE
ON ITS FRAMES AND COMPONENTS, AND THERE
ARE NO WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND
THE DESCRIPTION HEREIN. ANY WARRANTIES THAT
MAY OTHERWISE BE IMPLIED BY LAW INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE ARE EXCLUDED.
Please refer to the documents included with your bicycle
for possible further restrictions.
This Limited Warranty gives the consumer specific legal
rights. The consumer may also have other legal rights
which vary from state to state or country to country. Some
states and countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages or warranties, so
the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that
a certain provision of this limited warranty does not apply,
such determination shall not affect any other provision of
this limited warranty and all other provisions shall remain
in effect.
