This warranty covers only material and manufacturing defects. Nolan® and X-Lite® cannot be held liable for damages to the product which are either wholly or partially attributable to any other cause, including, but not limited to:
damage caused by improper use, lack of due care, normal wear and tear of internal and external components;
scratches, abrasions, detaching of paint or other damage caused to the external painted parts of the helmet by accidental impacts;
scratches, abrasions, deterioration or other damage caused to the helmet visor by accidental impacts or by incorrect cleaning procedure of the visor;

Defects covered by this warranty likewise do not include all the specific and subjective situations which may arise during dynamic use of the helmet, such as problems of comfort due to improper sizing, or wind noise while riding. Nolan® and X-Lite® cannot in any case be held liable for accidental or consequential damage (including, with no limitation whatsoever, injuries to a person or persons) resulting from the failure to comply with the obligations stipulated in this warranty regarding Nolan® and X-Lite® products.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
This warranty is valid in the entire territory of the United States and Canada and is the only express warranty given by Nolan® and X-Lite® in relation to the sale of their own helmets. Any service provided under the warranty does not have the effect of extending the warranty period itself. If the helmet or any of its components are replaced, a new warranty period does not begin to run on the product or on individual components supplied by way of replacement; the date of purchase or the date of manufacture of the original helmet remains the deciding factor.
