limited warranty
THE SERIOUS STUFF
Warranty coverage on your Belter frame and components
extends for ONE YEAR from the date of purchase while
owned by the original retail purchaser.
This warranty does not cover:
1. Normal wear and tear. Including consumables such as tyres,
grips, inner tubes and cables.
2. Any damage, failure or loss caused by accident, misuse, neglect,
abuse, failure to follow instructions or warnings in the owners’
manual or manuals supplied with the bike referring to original
equipment fitted.
3. Any damage, failure or loss caused by use of bicycles for stunt
riding, acrobatics or other similar activities or in any other
manner for which they were not designed. Bending of frames,
forks, handlebars, seat posts or wheel rims can be a sign of
misuse or abuse.
4. The original owner shall pay all labour charges connected with
the repair or replacement of all parts. Under no circumstances
does this limited warranty include the cost of shipment or
transportation to or from an authorised Early Rider distributor
or retailer.
Limitations
Only bikes sold, assembled and collected from an authorised Early
Rider dealer will be eligible for warranty. The foregoing warranties are
in lieu of and exclude all other warranties not expressly set forth herein,
whether express or implied by operation of law or otherwise, including
but not limited to any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose. Early Rider shall in no event be liable for incidental
or consequential losses, damages or expenses in connection with its
bicycle products. Early Rider’s liability hereunder is expressly limited
to the replacement of goods not complying with this warranty or, at
Early Rider’s discretion, to the amount equal to the purchase price of
the product in question.
Procedures
•
Warranty service will be performed by Early Rider or an Early Rider
authorised dealer.
Proof of purchase must be provided.
Transportation to and from Early Rider, an Early Rider distributor
or an Early Rider authorised dealer is the responsibility of
the purchaser.
•
Early Rider will have the option of either repair or repayment of an
amount equal to the purchase price of the product.
•
In the event Early Rider elects to replace a defective frame, a new
frame of equal or greater value will be provided. The new frame
may not be the exact model purchased. Early Rider is not responsible
for dealer labour charges for component changeovers when a frame
is replaced.
•
If you elect to repair a defective product yourself or use the services
of someone other than an Early Rider authorised dealer, Early Rider
will not be liable for any damage, failure or loss caused by the use of
such unauthorised service or parts.
Useful product life cycle
Every Early Rider bike and frame set has a useful life cycle. The
useful life cycle is not the same as the warranty period. The warranty
identifies the period of time that Early Rider will replace the product
if this becomes necessary, this does not guarantee that the product
will last forever. The length of the useful life cycle will vary depending
on the type of bike, riding conditions and care the bike receives. Any
non-standard use can substantially shorten the useful product life cycle
of an Early Rider bicycle or frame set. All Early Rider bicycles and frame
sets should be annually checked by an authorised Early Rider dealer
for indications 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 to help prevent accidents, bodily injury to
the rider and shortened useful product life cycle of an Early Rider
frame set.
