SRAM LLC WARRANTY

EXTENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY

Except as otherwise set forth herein, SRAM warrants its products to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of two years after

 This warranty only applies to the original owner and is not transferable. Claims under this warranty must be made through the 

retailer where the bicycle or the SRAM component was purchased. Original proof of purchase is required. 

Except as described herein, SRAM makes 

no other warranties, guaranties, or representations of any type (express or implied), and all warranties (including any implied warranties of 

reasonable care, merchantibility, or fitness for a particular purpose) are hereby disclaimed.

LOCAL LAW

This warranty statement gives the customer specific legal rights. The customer may also have other rights which vary from state to state (USA), from 
province to province (Canada), and from country to country elsewhere in the world.
To the extent that this warranty statement is inconsistent with the local law, this warranty shall be deemed modified to be consistent with such law, 
under such local law, certain disclaimers and limitations of this warranty statement may apply to the customer. For example, some states in the United 
States of America, as well as some governments outside of the United States (including provinces in Canada) may:

a. Preclude the disclaimers and limitations of this warranty statement from limiting the statutory rights of the consumer  

(e.g. United Kingdom).

b. Otherwise restrict the ability of a manufacturer to enforce such disclaimers or limitations.

This SRAM limited warranty is provided in Australia by SRAM LLC, 1000 W. Fulton Market, 4th Floor, Chicago, IL, 60607, USA. To make a warranty 
claim please contact the retailer from whom you purchased this SRAM product.  Alternatively, you may make a claim by contacting SRAM Australia, 6 
Marco Court, Rowville 3178, Australia. For valid claims SRAM will, at its option, either repair or replace your SRAM product.  Any expenses incurred in 
making the warranty claim are your responsibility.  The benefits given by this warranty are additional to other rights and remedies that you may have 
under laws relating to our products.  Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.  You are entitled 
to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.  You are also entitled to 
have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
