10.  This warranty is expressly in lieu of any other warranties, any implied warranty, including any warranty of merchantability of fitness, 

shall be limited in duration to the duration the express warranty set forth herein.

11.  The return of the warranty registration form within 30 days of purchase is a condition precedent to coverage as provided herein.
12.  Unless otherwise provided, the sole remedy under the terms of this warranty or any implied warranty is limited to the replacement of 

defective parts with those of equal or greater value at the sole description of Jamis.

13.  Paint finish and decals are warranted for one year.
14.  Modification of the frame or components shall void this warrant. 
15.  Useful Product Life Cycle: Every Jamis bicycle and frameset has a useful life cycle. This useful life cycle is not the same as the warranty 

period. The warranty identifies the period of time that Jamis will replace the product if this becomes necessary. When Jamis provides a 
lifetime warranty, this doe not guarantee that the product will last forever. The length of the useful life cycle of a Jamis bicycle will vary 
depending on the type of bike, riding conditions and care the bike receives. Competition, jumping, downhill racing, free-riding, trick rid-
ing, trial riding, riding in severe conditions or climates, riding with heavy loads or any other non-standard use can substantially shorten 
the useful product life cycle of a Jamis bicycle or frame set. Any one or a combination of these conditions may result in an unpredictable 
failure of a Jamis bicycle or frame set that would not be covered by this warranty. All Jamis bicycles and frame sets should be periodically 
checked by an authorized Jamis dealer for indication of potential failures including cracks, corrosion, dents, deformation, paint peeling, 
and any other indications of potential problems, inappropriate use or abuse. These are important safety checks and very important in the 
prevention of accidents, bodily injury to the rider, and a shortened useful product life cycle of any Jamis bicycle or frameset
.  

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
