USEFUL PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE
Every Specialized bicycle and frameset has a useful product life cycle. The length of that useful product life cycle will vary with the construction and materials of the bicycle or
frameset, the maintenance and care the bicycle or frameset receives over its useful product life cycle, and the type and amount of use the bicycle or frameset is subject to. Uses in
competitive events, trick riding, ramp riding, jumping, aggressive riding, riding on severe terrain, riding in severe climates, riding with heavy loads, commercial activities and other
types of non-standard use can dramatically shorten the useful product life cycle of a Specialized bicycle or frameset. Any one or a combination of these conditions may result in an
unpredictable failure of a Specialized bicycle or frameset that would not be covered by this warranty. ALL SPECIALIZED BICYCLES AND FRAMESETS SHOULD BE PERIODICALLY
CHECKED BY AN AUTHORIZED SPECIALIZED DEALER for indicators of stress and/or potential failure, including cracks, deformation, corrosion, paint peeling, dents, and any other
indicators of potential problems, inappropriate use, or abuse. These are important safety checks and very important to help prevent accidents, bodily injury to the rider and shortened
useful product life cycle of a Specialized bicycle or frameset.
Special Note regarding Composite Frames and Components: Composite materials develop their strength and maintain strength only if the integrity of the part is fully maintained. Pay
special attention to, and periodically and carefully inspect composite frames and components for signs of dents, fraying, gouging, scratches, fracture lines, chipping. In the event of a
crash or serious impact, or if any of the foregoing signs are observed, the component and frame should not be ridden until inspected by an Authorized Specialized Dealer. For your
safety, Specialized recommends replacing composite handlebars after three years of use.
THIS IS AN INTEGRATED AND FINAL STATEMENT OF SPECIALIZED’S LIMITED WARRANTY. SPECIALIZED DOES NOT AUTHORIZE OR ALLOW ANYONE, INCLUDING ITS
AUTHORIZED DEALERS, TO EXTEND ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, FOR SPECIALIZED. NO OTHER REPRESENTATION, AND NO STATEMENT OF ANYONE BUT
SPECIALIZED, INCLUDING A DEMONSTRATION OF ANY KIND BY ANYONE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING THIS BICYCLE OR FRAMESET. ALL OF THE REMEDIES
AVAILABLE TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER ARE STATED HEREIN. IT IS AGREED THAT SPECIALIZED’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE NO GREATER THAN
THE AMOUNT OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE AND IN NO EVENT SHALL SPECIALIZED BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
