CONTENTS OF THE COMMERCIAL WARRANTY FOR YOUR ELECTRI -
CALLY-ASSISTED BIKE
Please ensure that you keep your invoice as proof of purchase.
The bicyle has a lifelong guarantee on the structural components (frame, handlebar stem, handlebar and saddle-pillar), 2 years on
parts subject to normal wear and tear.
The warranty does not cover damage resulting from misuse, from a failure to respect the precautions for use, from accidents, from
improper use or from commercial use of the bike.
This bike is for personal use only and not for professional use.
The warranty does not cover damage resulting from repairs carried out by persons not authorised by Decathlon.
Each electronic component is permanently sealed. Opening one of these components (battery, battery sheath, controller, screen,
motor) may cause physical injury to persons or damage to the system. Opening or modifying a component in the system will void the
warranty for the bike. The warranty does not cover cracked or broken screens showing visible signs of impacts.
FURTHER DETAILS REGARDING THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON DECATHLON BIKES, purchased as of 1 June 2013.
DECATHLON brand bikes are products designed to provide complete satisfaction to their users. For this reason, DECATHLON
wishes to commit to the quality and durability of its bikes.
Within this context, DECATHLON offers its clients a lifetime warranty which exclusively covers the following noncarbon parts: frames,
rigid forks (non-suspension forks), handlebars and stems fitted to DECATHLON brand bikes. This warranty begins on the date of
purchase of (a) DECATHLON brand bike(s).
It is specified that, for the lifetime warranty to be valid, the buyer must:
either have a DECATHLON store loyalty card and register his/her purchase on it at the time of checkout,
or complete the warranty certificate available online on the www.btwin.com site within one month of the purchase date. During this re-
gistration, the buyer must provide the following information: last name, first name, purchase date, e-mail address, and bicycle tracking
number.
By virtue of this warranty, DECATHLON offers either the replacement by an equivalent of the frame, rigid fork, handlebars or stem, or
their repair, within a reasonable time period, after being brought to a DECATHLON retail store repair shop. It is specified that travel
and transportation costs remain the responsibility of the customer.
However, this contractual obligation will not apply in the event of poor maintenance or misuse of DECATHLON bikes, as defined in the
user manual of the product in question.
To benefit from the warranty covering one of the parts listed above, you must simply visit the repair shop of a DECATHLON retail
store, bringing either your DECATHLON store loyalty card or your warranty certificate with you.
DECATHLON reserves the right to verify that all conditions of the lifetime warranty have been met and to implement all due necessary
measures to verify this.
It is also specified that the lifetime warranty does not exclude the application of the legal guarantee(s) provided for under the French
Consumer Code (Code de la consommation) and Civil Code (Code civil), namely:
Article L. 211-4 of the Consumer Code: «The seller must deliver goods in conformity with the contract and take responsibility for any
lack of conformity present at the time of delivery. The seller is also held liable for any lack of conformity caused by the packaging, the
assembly instructions or the installation if he/she was made responsible for the latter under the contract or if it was conducted under
his/her responsibility».
Article L. 211-5 of the Consumer Code: «To be compliant with the contract, goods must:
Be suitable for the use normally expected for similar goods and, if necessary:
match the description provided by the seller and possess the qualities that he/she presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or a
model;
display the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer, or his/her
representative, notably in advertising or labelling;
Or display the features defined by a mutual agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special use sought by the buyer,
made known to, and agreed upon by, the seller».
Article L. 211-12 of the Consumer Code: «Legal action prompted by lack of conformity lapses two years after the date of delivery of
the goods.»
Article 1641 of the Civil Code: «The seller is bound to the warranty on account of hidden defects of the item sold which render it unfit
for the use for which it was intended, or which so impair that use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have paid a
lesser price for it, had he/she been aware of them.
