Owner’s Responsibility and Proper Maintenance

All Ibis Bicycle frames should be periodically checked by an authorized Ibis
dealer for indicators of stress and/or potential failure, including cracks,
deformations, corrosion, paint peeling, dents, and any other indicators of
potential problems, inappropriate use, or abuse.  These are important safety
checks that can help prevent accidents, bodily injury to the rider and shortened
product life of an Ibis frame. This Warranty does not cover malfunctions or
failures caused by delay in bringing a problem or potential problem to the
attention of Ibis or an authorized Ibis dealer.
