limited warranty

registrationFor a safer ride, Cycles Brixton International recommends that you have a qualified mechanic assemble and frequently inspect all parts of your bicycle for wear, cracks, micro-fractures, corrosion, deformation, separation, delaminating of carbon fibers, dents, paint damage and any other indicator of problems before they could cause product failure.

Any product that is worn out, has lost its structural integrity or shows any sign of fatigue or damage must be replaced immediately to reduce the possibility of an accident that could cause serious injuries.

INTENDED USE: This product has been designed solely for road or track (velodrome) use on smooth surfaces.  There are risks inherent in bike riding and factors such as poor maintenance, lack of frequent inspections, poor visibility, darkness or rain greatly increase these risks. Proper maintenance, frequent inspections, using a helmet, high-visibility bike wear, bike lights, rear view mirrors,  and riding conservatively help reduce, but cannot completely eliminate, such risks.

If there is any reason to suspect the integrity of your bicycle frame or components, or if your bicycle has been involved in an accident of any kind, do not ride it. Take it to your Brixton dealer immediately for inspection.

CRASH REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

If you buy a frame from an authorized Brixton dealer, and register the frame on the www.cbidistribution.com website within forty-five days from purchase, correctly fill out all mandatory fields, you are automatically enrolled in the “crash replacement” program.

This program offers you the possibility to buy a new frame from any authorized Brixton dealer at a discounted price if the original frame is accidentally damaged beyond repair, during the warranty period.

The discount is offered by Cycles Brixton International, Inc. and does not cover the cost of labor or other charges related to disassembly of the damaged bicycle or assembly of the new bicycle.  The paint scheme on your Brixton frame is one-of-a-kind and will not be reproduced.  When taking advantage of the crash replacement program you must choose a paint scheme currently available from an authorized Brixton dealer.

Replacement Request

You must notify Cycles Brixton International, Inc. in writing within thirty days of the damage to the frame (specifying serial number) and your desire to replace the damaged frame with a new one at a discounted price; then you must contact an authorized Brixton dealer to order the new frame, supplying:

  1. the original proof of purchase and the contact information as provided when registering the frame
  2. jpg images of the entire bike after the accident, and close-up images of the damaged portion
  3. copy of any accident report (if one was filled out)
  4. the damaged frame, which will become property of Cycles Brixton International, Inc. in exchange for granting the discount on the new frame.

All of the above warranties are in lieu of all other warranties and implied warranties, including the warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.  Coverage under any of these warranties does not include incidental or consequential damages.

Cycles Brixton International, Inc. reserves the right to cancel or modify this policy at any time without prior notice.
