Limited Warranty Certificate Valid for 5 (five) Years from the Date of Purchase or 7 (seven) Years from the Date of Manufacture.
Please read carefully all the clauses and conditions of this limited warranty certificate.
By this limited warranty certificate, X-Lite guarantees to the original purchaser of the helmet that the product is free from all material and manufacturing defects at the time of purchase.
Cover Provided by the Warranty
This limited warranty certificate offers these warranty periods:
a) for defects, which might arise on painting or coating of the outer shell, 2 (two) years from the date of purchase or 4 (four) years from the date of manufacture (printed on the label sewn inside the helmet), whichever comes first;
b) for all other defects not included in a), 5 (five) years from the date of purchase or 7 (seven) years from the date of manufacture (printed on the label sewn inside the helmet), whichever comes first. X-Lite shall proceed, after verifying the defect, to repair or replace the defective product. X-Lite shall supply all the materials and provide all the labor reasonably necessary to remedy the reported defect, except for cases in which the damage is attributable to one of the reasons listed in the paragraph below, entitled "Exclusions and Limitations of Cover".
Exclusions and Limitations of Cover
This warranty covers only material and manufacturing defects. 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:
a) damage caused by improper use, lack of due care, normal wear and tear of internal and external components;
b) scratches, abrasions, detaching of paint or other damage caused to the external painted parts of the helmet by accidental impacts;
c) scratches, abrasions, deterioration or other damage caused to the helmet visor by accidental impacts or by incorrect cleaning procedure of the visor;
d) damage caused by the application of stickers and/or adhesives;
e) any damage caused by an accident;
f) any modification or change made to the helmet by the user or by third parties;
g) damages caused by any type of painting/lacquering applied on the external shell by the user or third party;
h) color changes or damage caused by exposure to harmful chemical products;
i) color variations or damages caused by exposure to sunlight and/or heat sources;
j) change in the fluorescent colors used in the graphics on some models as a consequence of prolonged and direct exposure to sunlight; k) use of incompatible accessories not provided by X-Lite.
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. 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 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.
5 (five) years after the date of purchase or 7 (seven) years after the date of manufacture (printed on the label sewn inside the helmet), this limited warranty shall lapse entirely. After that period, the brand strongly advises you to replace your helmet for your own safety. Certain environmental factors, improper use of the product, accidental impacts, normal external and internal wear and tear, involvement in accidents, however minor, etc., may have seriously influenced the mechanical or physical characteristics of the product, thereby impairing its properties.
This warranty is valid in the entire territory of the United States and Canada and is the only express warranty given by X-Lite in relation to the sale of its 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.
