sul libretto, alla voce garanzia c'è scritto questo:
SCOTT bikes are made using the most innovative production
and quality methods. They are equipped with
best components of well known parts suppliers.
Doing so SCOTT warrants its frames and swingarms
for five years (subject to compliance with maintenance
ranges, see below) and SCOTT forks (provided it is
a fork of SCOTT) for two years for defects in material
and/or workmanship in case of purchase of completely
assembled bikes.
This warranty of 5 years for the frames shall only be
granted in case once a year a maintenance service has
been effected according to maintenance requirements
as set forth in this manual by an authorised SCOTT
dealer.
The authorised SCOTT dealer shall confirm the effected
annual maintenance service by
stamp and signature.
In case such an annual maintenance service has not
been effected the warranty of 5 years for the frame
shall be reduced to 3 years.
Costs for maintenance and service have to be born
by the owner of the SCOTT bike.
On Gambler the warranty period is limited to 2 years.
The warranty period starts at the day of purchase.
This warranty is limited to the first buyer, what means
the first person who uses the bike and only with the
use it was made for. Furthermore, this warranty is limited
to purchases via authorized SCOTT-dealers to the
exclusion of purchases via internet auctions.
In case of a warranty claim the decision to repair or to
replace the defective part is up to SCOTT. Non defective
parts will only be replaced at the guarantees own
expense.
Fair wear and tear is not covered by the warranty.
A complete list of all parts of wear and tear can be
found in the next chapter of this manual.
In addition, you will find at the end of this manual a
protocol for the handing over of the bike which will
remain in copy at the SCOTT dealer after acceptance
and signature of the consumer.
It is obligatory to show this protocol of handing over
together with the defective part in case of a warranty
claim given that it provides evidence of purchase.
Otherwise no warranty is granted.
In principle, this warranty is granted worldwide.
Claims must be made through an authorized dealer,
for information regarding the nearest dealer, write or
call this company or the national SCOTT distributor.
Normal wear, accident, neglect, abuse, improper
assembly, improper maintenance by other than an
authorized dealer or use of parts or devices not consistent
with the use originally intended for the bicycle as
sold are not covered by this warranty.
Hereby SCOTT grants a voluntarily manufacturers warranty.
Additional entitlements according to national
warrant of merchantability are reserved.
