Warranty exclusions
Each Devinci bicycle was conceived for a specific use. The
operational life of a bicycle varies according to its construction,
maintenance and the care provided. Intensive use or use with a heavy
load, use during competitions or for activities other than those for
which the bicycle was conceived, greatly diminish its operational life.
Any of these conditions may lead to random failure. Abusive use will
therefore cancel the warranty.
This warranty does not cover:
- Regular maintenance (cleaning, lubrification or inspection);
- TranOptimum S or shipping charges incurred as a result of the execution of the warranty;
- Cost of labor related to the assembly, disassembly, repair or replacement parts;
- Damages caused by normal wear and tear including damages caused by material fatigue.
The warranty does not apply if:
- The damages were caused by a fortuitous event;
- The bicycle was purchased from a retailer other than those authorized by Devinci;
- The bicycle was not entirely assembled by an authorized Devinci retailer;
- The bicycle was repaired by a person other than an authorized Devinci retailer;
- You are not the original owner of the bicycle;
- The instructions
contained in the user’s manual for all frames and the technical manual
for frames with double suspension were not respected;
- The periodic
inspection recommended in the user’s manual for all frames and in the
technical manual for the frames with double suspension was not carried
out;
- Parts not supplied by Devinci with the bicycle or not indicated in the user’s manual for all
frames or the technical manual for the frames with double suspension
were used;
- The bicycle was used for an activity other than those for which it was conceived;
- The bicycle and/or
its components were subject to abusive use, negligence, abnormal and/or
excessive use or was implicated in an accident;
- The frame is too small for you;
- You used an other seat than the one sold with your bike;
- The frame and/or its
components were modified (ex: polishing, structural or mechanical
modification or addition, stripping, sanding, strain hardening, shot
peening);
- You continued to use your bicycle while it was damaged.
Exchange policy in case of accident
Devinci is aware that the purchase of a high performance
bicycle is done with the heart. This is why our customer service applies
an exchange policy at a low price to accommodate claims that would have
been refused for one of the reasons mentioned in the section “warranty
exclusions”. This policy applies only to the initial buyer. Please
contact your Devinci retailer for more information.

frames is in no way linked to Devinci and is furthermore excluded from
this warranty.
