Warranty exclusions

Each devinci bicycle was conceived for a specific use. The operational life of a bicycle varies according to its construction, maintenance and the care provided. Intensive use or use with a heavy load, use during competitions or for activities other than those for which the bicycle was conceived, greatly diminish its operational life. Any of these conditions may lead to random failure. Abusive use will therefore cancel the warranty.
