Velec Limited Warranty - Velec CITI + Owner's Manual

1
APPLICATION
By the present, the Velec Company Inc. or a Velec affiliate (hereafter referred
to as 'VELEC') gives notice to the owner or the user (hereafter referred to as
'Owner') of an Electrically Assisted Bicycle (hereafter referred to as 'EAB') of
the provisions of the limited warranty that VELEC offers the Owner following
the purchase of the EAB from an authorized VELEC dealer.
WARRANTY AGAINST HIDDEN DEFECTS
VELEC warrants to the owner that every EAB, when new, is exempt from
hidden defects. Should the Owner discover what he believes is a hidden
defect, he must notify VELEC in writing within three (3) days from the
moment when the Owner first becomes aware of said defect in order to
give VELEC the opportunity to correct said defect if possible, at the sole
discretion of VELEC and provided VELEC can establish said hidden defect
3 is present before the expiration of the warranty.
WARRANTY AGAINST APPARENT ANOMALY
The Owner must verify the apparent condition, the quantity and the
contents of the EAB following the purchase and, on the same day, must
immediately proceed with a complete inspection of the EAB with help
from the Owner's Manual. If there is damage, if a part is missing or is
damaged, if the EAB is broken, or if there are other problems of the same
kind (hereafter known as: 'Apparent anomaly'), the Owner must contact the
dealer immediately and notify VELEC within three (3) days from the date of
purchase from the dealer by registered letter, a receipt for which must be
kept for reference. Should the Owner not advise of the Apparent anomaly
within the prescribed time period, VELEC shall not be responsible for any
prejudice suffered by the Owner due to the Apparent anomaly and the EAB
shall be deemed free of any Apparent anomaly when purchased and the
Owner deemed satisfied with the purchase.

VELEC LIMITED WARRANTY

Owner's Manual
12
VELEC warrants to the Owner that the propulsion system included with the
EAB, when new, is in good working condition. This warranty shall expire
twenty-four (24) months following the purchase date of the EAB from
5
the dealer. The propulsion system is defined as including the control dis-
2
play, the accelerator components, the motor, the wiring cluster parts and
the electric cables.
FRAME
VELEC warrants to the Owner that the frame of the EAB, when new, is
free from defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty shall
expire thirty-six (36) months following the purchase date of the EAB
from the dealer. The bicycle's frame excludes the battery, all the electric
components, the paint and finish, the front fork, the wheels, the tires, the
drive train, the brakes, the saddle post, the handlebar and stem and any
suspension component or part.
As for any other consumer good, the EAB has a useful life cycle. The length
of the useful life cycle can vary depending on the criteria chosen for work-
manship and materials of the EAB as well as the kind of use and frequency to
which the EAB has been subjected. However, VELEC advises the Owner that
the maintenance and upkeep performed on the EAB during its useful life cycle
are very important as a means of prolonging the useful life cycle of the EAB.
The life expectancy of a Lithium battery is 3 to 5 years. If the battery
has not been used for a prolonged period of time (more than 6 mon-
ths), it is possible that the battery loses its capacities or no longer
works. Make sure to charge your battery and to use your electric bi-
cycle on a regular basis. Charging your battery on a regular basis is
not enough to maintain good battery health, it must be used on the
electric bicycle to maximise its longevity. Consequently, VELEC advises
the Owner that the EAB must be checked periodically by the dealer as general
maintenance of the EAB and as a means of detecting stress and/or potential
failures including, but without limiting the generality of the preceding, cracks,
deformations, corrosion, paint chipping, dents and any other indications of
potential problems, improper use or abuse. These regular verifications are
important safety checks and they are essential in helping to prevent acci-
dents, bodily injury and premature reduction of the useful product life cycle
of the EAB.
