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 frames for Freeride, and Dirt Jumping bikes,
see below) are warranted by Cycling Sports Group, Inc., 16
Trowbridge Drive, Bethel, CT 06801 against manufacturing
defects in materials and/or workmanship for the lifetime of
the original owner.
Cannondale frames for Freeride & Dirt Jumping bikes
(such as Gemini, Gemini DH, Judge, Perp 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 / Dirt Jumping warranty
does not cover any bike purchased and used for rental
purchase. The Freeride / Dirt Jumping 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
and Lefty internal parts, 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 limited warranty, but are separately
covered by the stated warranty of their manufacturer.
teRms of limited WaRRanty:
This limited 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 limited
warranty.
This limited 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.)
This limited 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 limited 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 from corrosion is not covered.
Damage resulting from improper assembly or 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 limited warranty, CYCLING
SPORTS GROUP, INC., will either repair any defective frame or
component, or, at our option, replace any defective frame or
component with the same or most nearly comparable model
or component 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 PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
THIS IS THE ONLY WARRANTY MADE BY CYCLING SPORTS
GROUP, INC., 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.
