APPLICATION
The Velec Company Inc. or a Velec affiliate (thereafter referred to as 'VELEC')
notifies the owner or the user (thereafter known as 'Owner') of an Electrically-
Assisted Bicycle (thereafter referred to as 'EAB') of the Velec disclaimer of res-
ponsibility and of the risks and danger of the EAB and of the means to protect
against them following the purchase of the EAB from an authorized VELEC
dealer.
VELEC warrants its EAB conform to laws and norms applicable in the
Province of Québec. For any purchase with a view to using the EAB outside
the Province of Québec, the Owner must personally verify the details of the
legislation effective in the country, state, territory or province concerned,
for the applicable norms, declarations, interdictions and other requirements
3 of said legislations. The liability of VELEC shall not be engaged in case of
non-compliance with the legislation of the country, the state, the territory or
the province where the product is delivered and/or utilized, it is the owner's
responsibility to check with local authorities.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
VELEC recommends that the Owner operate the EAB and ride it on a
closed circuit course for a duration of between six (6) and twelve (12)
hours, depending on the user's level of experience, to allow the Owner
to become familiar with the operation of the EAB, to develop sufficient
knowledge and ability and to become so familiar with it that the user will
be provided with a level of safety that is to be expected. EABs were not
designed, developed, distributed or sold for professional use or to be
used commercially, nor to be used for stunts, ramp acrobatics, jumps,
aggressive riding or riding in excessively rigorous conditions such as:
rigorous Canadian winter conditions (with the bike in contact with ice,
water, salt, sand and calcium) and if traveling to tropical destinations,
contact with sea salt or riding with heavy loads, or for any other similar
activities.
