Cannondale Warranty Conditions

For any warranty claim to be considered, the bicycle must be brought in to an Authorized Cannondale Retailer on the same continent on which the bicycle was purchased. The bicycle must be in an assembled, reasonably clean and sanitary condition and accompanied by the original, dated sales receipt for the bicycle (be sure to keep your receipt in a safe place!). 

This limited warranty applies only to bicycles purchased from Authorized Cannondale Retailers. 

This limited warranty is void if the bicycle is subjected to abuse, neglect, improper repair, improper assembly, lack of proper maintenance according to the owner’s manual, alteration, modification, installation of incompatible parts, corrosion, an accident or other abnormal, excessive, or improper use. 

This limited warranty is void if the bicycle is used in a rental or bike sharing program. 

Damage resulting from normal wear and tear, including the results of fatigue, is not covered. It is the owner's responsibility to regularly inspect and properly maintain his/her bicycle. Some items that typically exhibit damage from normal wear and tear include: 

Paint fading caused by the effects of ultraviolet light (UV) or outdoor exposure is not covered by this limited warranty. 

All labor charges for warranty service, including the transfer of components and/or any installation of new components, are the responsibility of the bicycle owner.
