Bontrager Warranty
Trek Bicycle Corporation warrants each new Bontrager seatpost against defects
in workmanship and materials for the a period of one year from the date of sale.
This warranty is expressly limited to the repair or replacement of a defective
seatpost and is the sole remedy of the warranty. This warranty applies only to the
original owner and is not transferable.
Claims under this warranty must be made through an authorized Bontrager
dealer. Proof of purchase is required.
The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, improper assembly or
follow-up maintenance, or installation of parts or accessories not originally
intended or compatible with the seatpost as sold.
The warranty does not apply to damage or failure due to accident, misuse,
abuse, or neglect. Modification of the seatpost shall void this warranty.
Trek Bicycle Corporation shall not be responsible for incidental or consequen-
tial damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequen-
tial damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. Labor charges for
parts changeovers are not covered by the warranty.
This warranty gives the consumer specific legal rights, and those rights may
vary from place to place. This warranty does not affect the statutory rights of
the consumer.
