le temps peut également provoquer une distor-
sion dans l’adaptation de celles des pièces de
rechange.
Si SHARK n’est pas en mesure d’assurer la
réparation pour une raison technique ou une
disponibilité de composant, SHARK s’engage à
proposer, à des conditions avantageuses pour

son casque, soit un casque neuf identique, soit

5 year Warranty
You have recently purchased a SHARK helmet
for your safety and pleasure. It has been desig-
ned with the greatest care to satisfy your every
requirement. For your safety, and that of your
passenger, you must respect all the rules of pru-
dence when using your two-wheeled vehicle. The
SHARK 5-YEAR warranty guarantees the initial
purchaser that any possible manufacturing fault
or material defect will be covered by the SHARK
warranty.
limitations
If during the warranty period (5 years as from
the date of purchase), a problem covered by the
warranty were to arise, SHARK, through the inter-
mediary of its sales network, undertakes to repair
or replace any defective components, up to a
maximum limit which is the purchase value of the
helmet. Any labour costs are normally paid by the
SHARK network, but are submitted for approval
prior to the work being carried out. If the repair
requires components to be dispatched incurring
transportation costs, the SHARK network shall
cover these costs up to a limit which is the cost
of transport by the national postal service at the
normal rate.
exclusions
This warranty only covers problems related to
materials or manufacturing. SHARK cannot be
held liable with regard to the product in the fol-
lowing cases :
any damage following
1) a fall or accident
2) a technical modification made by the
user or a third party (glue, adhesives, paint,
screws, etc.)
3) use of or contact with: harmful chemical pro-
ducts (including methylated spirits on the visor
treatments), or an intense heat source
4) incorrect use: abnormal conditions (e.g. unde-
rwater), lack of maintenance or care
5) ageing due to normal wear of the inner fabrics
or foams, the appearance of the external parts, or
the visor (scratches, marks, etc.)
6) abnormal and prolonged exposure to ultra-vio-
let light, in particular for the decorative colours.
In addition, SHARK cannot consider subjective
considerations related to use of the helmet as
defects covered by the warranty : problems with
comfort, size, noise or whistling, aerodynamics,
etc.
SHARK cannot be held liable for the temporary
non-availability of the helmet while it is being
enhanced to satisfy the needs of its owner. In all
cases, the maximum warranty period is 5 years.
Replacement of a component during this period
does not prolong this period.
Procedure
When the helmet is sold the warranty card com-
prising all the information must be filled out and
returned to SHARK SA by the purchaser.
All warranty claims must be made to the SHARK
dealer that sold the helmet.
For a warranty claim to be considered, the pur-
chaser must notify the dealer of the problem that
has arisen, and return the helmet that is the sub-
ject of the claim, together with the warranty card
filled out when the helmet was purchased. This
warranty does not affect in any way the statutory
rights of the purchaser as stipulated by directive
1999/44CE.
The effects of this specific and limited war-
ranty shall come to an end after a period of 5
years as from the date of purchase. After this
period, if you continue to use a helmet regu-
