Guarantee on CENTURION bikes
In purchasing this CENTURION bike you will receive a warranty covering
far more than stipulated by the legal regulations (as of date of purchase
of initial buyer).
- A lifetime guarantee* against rupture for all aluminum and carbon
frames for the categories Kids, Street, Cross, XC/Marathon and All
Mountain (see chapter “Intended use”)
- A five-year guarantee against rupture for all aluminum and carbon
frames outside the aforementioned categories
- A five-year guarantee against rupture for aluminum and carbon rigid
forks
CENTURION reserve the right to repair or replace the frame/the fork.
In the event the frame/fork model concerned is not (no longer) avail-
able, CENTURION reserves the right provide a (successor) model of an
equivalent or greater quality.
The guarantee does not cover labor and transport costs, nor does it
cover follow-up costs resulting from defects.
Guarantee claims for suspension forks, rear shocks as well as drive
units of pedelecs/EPACs (Electrically Power Assisted Cycles) and other
branded components will not be handled by CENTURION, but by the
national distributors of the component manufacturers.
Your direct contact in any case is your CENTURION dealer.
The guarantee only applies to claims substantiated by presenting the
original purchase contract, customer’s receipt, the handover report
and the bike card stating the date of purchase, the dealer address, the
model and the frame number. An online registration is also available at
www.centurion.de/en_int (not available in all countries). This also applies
within the statutory warranty/guarantee periods.
This additional guarantee is also valid when reselling a CENTURION
bike. Prerequisite for that is the full traceability from the initial buyer to the
last buyer. This is exclusively the case, if purchase contracts in written
form can be presented in addition to the above-mentioned documents.
Guarantee claims will only be acknowledged, if the bike has been used
for none other than its intended use, had an inspection during its first
five hundred kilometers or the first six months after purchase, has been
fitted exclusively with original spare parts or accessories and had its
suspension systems serviced by a CENTURION dealer or an authorized
service center once a year at least.
For carbon frames of the types road, cyclo-cross and mountain bike
(suspension travel up to 100 mm) the above-mentioned guarantee also
applies for competitive use. The guarantee does not cover the compe-
titive use or other overloads for all other types.
It does not cover damage resulting from wear, insufficient care/main-
tenance, fall/accident, overstress caused by overloading, incorrect
mounting and improper treatment as well as constructional changes to
the bicycle (by using non-original spare parts as well as the installation
and the modification of (additional) components.
Diligent compliance with the respective manufacturers’ mounting in-
structions and maintenance intervals as prescribed in this manual are
crucial to a long service life and good durability of all bicycle compo-
nents. Non-observance will render the guarantee void. Observe the
checks described in this manual as well as all instructions concerning
the regular replacement of safety-relevant components, such as the
handlebars, stem etc.
The guarantee regulations going beyond the statutory regulations are
voluntary services provided by CENTURION. These statutory regula-
tions vary from country to country. Ask your CENTURION dealer for
more information and read the original CENTURION operating instruc-
tions on the enclosed CENTURION CD-ROM.
* The service life of a bicycle is ten years.
