5 WARRANTY
5.1 Warranty For EU Countries
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Tenneco Marzocchi
S.r.l. grants an independent warranty to the relevant end-user that its
suspension system is free from defect in material and/or workmanship
throughout a period of two (2) years from the date of the purchase. A
defective suspension system will be repaired or replaced, at the option
of Tenneco Marzocchi S.r.l. free of charge, within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the same from the relevant authorized Tenneco Marzocchi
dealer. The retail invoice or, if any, the warranty certifi cate dated and
stamped by the relevant Marzocchi retailer, enclosed with the product, will
serve to prove the commencement date of the warranty and the place of
purchase of the product. In the event of a defect within the aforesaid term,
the purchaser should return the product to the Marzocchi retailer where
he/she bought it, illustrating the defect and the reasons of the warranty
claim. The retailer will inform the purchaser when the product has been
repaired or replaced.

jumping, ramp riding, racing, commercial use, competitive use, use in
mountain biking or BMX parks, use on BMX trails, and/or normal wear
or deterioration occasioned by the use of the suspension system, and,
in general, all subsequent non- conformity defects resulting from the non
observance of the instructions of the products Manual.
This warranty does not cover, as they are not original non-
conformities, items and substances subject to normal wear occasioned
by use, such as oil, sealing rings, dust seals, and sliding bushes. In
addition, this warranty is void in the event that the suspension system is
used with rental bicycles. This warranty will be automatically void if the
serial number of the Marzocchi suspension system is altered, erased,
defaced or otherwise subject to any tampering. Finally, this warranty will
not cover second-hand Marzocchi suspension systems and in this case
the retailer will offer a warranty for the second-hand product, without
liability of any kind, either direct or indirect, of Tenneco Marzocchi S.r.l.
5.1.1.2 TERRITORIAL LIMITATION: This warranty covers all the
products bought only in a EU country (including Switzerland), except for
products bought in a EU country but used in the USA which the clauses
of the "Warranty rest of the world – USA included" apply to. Some EU
countries set mandatory rules which govern the warranty for consumer
goods; should these rules be inconsistent with the terms of this warranty,
national mandatory rules shall take precedence.
