AVANTI LIFETIME WARRANTY
We offer a lifetime warranty on all 2010 and onwards bikes, the specifics on this warranty are detailed below.
The express warranties covering Avanti Bicycles are governed by the laws of the state and/or country where the Avanti Bicycle was purchased, and apply only to the Original Owner of the Avanti Bicycle from the date of original retail purchase from an Authorised Avanti Dealer.
LIFETIME WARRANTY ON AVANTI FRAMES AND RIGID FORKS
1. AVANTI warrants its frames and rigid forks (excluding paint, decals and finish) will be free from material defects in materials and workmanship for the Lifetime of the Original Owner.
ONE (1) YEAR WARRANTY ON COMPONENTS AND ACCESSORIES
2. AVANTI warrants that all standard components and accessories forming part of the Avanti Bicycle, as described in AVANTI’s standard specification, (including suspension forks, rear shock absorbers, wheels, drive train, brakes, seat post, handlebar and stem, paint, decals and finish) will be free from material defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date of original retail purchase of the Avanti Bicycle from an Authorised Avanti Dealer. Third party components and accessories forming part of the Avanti Bicycle may also be covered by a separate manufacturer’s warranty.
3. The warranty in clause 2 excludes consumable items such as tires and inner tubes.
LIMITATIONS ON AVANTI EXPRESS WARRANTIES
4. The warranties in clauses 1 and 2 of this Warranty are given to the Original Owner only. They may not be assigned or transferred to any other person.
5. No warranties are given under clauses 1 or 2 of this Warranty where any defect, damage, malfunction or failure is caused or contributed to by any of the following things:
(a) trick riding, ramp riding, downhill racing, jumping, aggressive riding, riding on severe terrain, riding in severe climates, riding with heavy loads, commercial activities, or any similar activities;
(b) any neglect, abuse, misuse, lack of rider skill, improper operation, improper assembly, improper or lack of repair, improper or lack of maintenance, alteration, modification, or an accident;
(c) any other abnormal, excessive, or improper use;
(d) the installation or use of any components or accessories not originally intended for or compatible with the Avanti Bicycle as originally sold;
(e) any assembly or maintenance of the Avanti Bicycle by anyone other than an Authorised Avanti Dealer;
(f) any failure to follow the Avanti Bicycle’s owner’s manual; or
(g) normal wear and tear, including the results of fatigue. Fatigue damage is a symptom of the Frame or Frameset being worn out through normal use, and is considered normal wear and tear. The Original Owner should regularly inspect the Frame or Frameset, and ensure that the Frame or Frameset is periodically checked by an Authorised Avanti Dealer for indicators of fatigue, stress or any other potential failure.
6. Any attempt by any person to repair any defect, damage, malfunction or failure, other than an Authorised Avanti Dealer, will invalidate all warranties under clauses 1 and 2 in relation to the Avanti Bicycle.
AVANTI EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN ADDITION TO CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS
7. Despite anything else in this Warranty or any owner’s manual, nothing in this Warranty or owner’s manual will exclude, limit or modify any warranty or liability of AVANTI implied or imposed by applicable law, if to do so would be unlawful or make any part of this Warranty void or voidable.
8. The express warranties in this Warranty are in addition to any warranty that may apply under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (NZ) or the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) (Australia).
9. Subject to clauses 7 and 8, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, AVANTI’s sole liability for breaching any of the warranties in clauses 1 and 2 of this Warranty is limited, at AVANTI’s sole election, to AVANTI:
(a) repairing or replacing the defective item;
(b) supplying the equivalent of the defective item; or
(c) reimbursing the cost of any of the above.
MAKING A WARRANTY CLAIM
10. To make a warranty claim, the Original Owner must present the complete bicycle incorporating the Avanti Bicycle to an Authorised Avanti Dealer immediately after the suspected fault or defect becomes apparent. The complete bicycle must be in assembled condition and accompanied by:
(a) original proof of purchase, which identifies the Avanti Bicycle by serial number; and
(b) evidence that regular servicing and maintenance has been undertaken on the complete bicycle by an Authorised Avanti Dealer, to show that the Avanti Bicycle has been correctly maintained.
11. AVANTI or its representative will assess the warranty claim and if accepted, will deal with the claim as set out in clause 9 of this Warranty.
12. All warranty claims must be made within the relevant warranty period referred to in clauses 1 or 2 of this Warranty.
13. The Original Owner will be responsible for all labour and freight charges incurred by AVANTI associated with a warranty claim.
EXCLUSIONS
14. In no event will AVANTI be liable (whether in contract, tort, negligence or in any other way) for any loss, damage, cost or expense of any kind whatsoever, that is indirect, consequential, or of a special nature, arising directly or indirectly from the Avanti Bicycle. AVANTI’s total liability in relation to the Avanti Bicycle shall be no greater than the amount of the original purchase price paid by the Original Owner for the Avanti Bicycle.
15. Subject to clauses 7 and 8 of this Warranty, and except as expressly provided in clauses 1 and 2 of this Warranty, AVANTI gives no warranties in relation to the Avanti Bicycle, either express or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties relating to quality, fitness for any particular purpose or ability to achieve a particular result.
16. This Warranty embodies the entire obligation of AVANTI in relation to the Avanti Bicycle accompanying this owner’s manual. AVANTI does not authorise or allow anyone, including Authorised Avanti Dealers, to extend or vary any warranties given by AVANTI.
17. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid, unenforceable or illegal for any reason, the rest of this Warranty will remain in full force apart from such provision, which will be deemed deleted.
