5 yeAr WArrAnty
You have recently purchased a SHARK helmet for
your safety and pleasure. It has been designed with
the greatest care to satisfy your every requirement.
For your safety, and that of your passenger, you must
respect all the rules of prudence when using your
two-wheeled vehicle. The SHARK 5-YEAR warranty
guarantees the initial purchaser that any possible
manufacturing fault or material defect will be covered
by the SHARK warranty.
limitations
If during the warranty period (5 years as from the date
of purchase), a problem covered by the warranty were
to arise, SHARK, through the intermediary of its sales
network, undertakes to repair or replace any defective
components, up to a maximum limit which is the pur-
chase value of the helmet. Any labour costs are nor-
mally paid by the SHARK network, but are submitted
for approval prior to the work being carried out. If the
repair requires components to be dispatched incurring
transportation costs, the SHARK network shall cover
these costs up to a limit which is the cost of transport
by the national postal service at the normal rate.
exclusions
This warranty only covers problems related to mate-
rials or manufacturing. SHARK cannot be held liable
with regard to the product in the following cases :
Any damage following
1) a fall or accident
2) a technical modification made by the
user or a third party (glue, adhesives, paint, screws,
etc.)
3) use of or contact with: harmful chemical products
(including methylated spirits on the visor treatments),
or an intense heat source
4) incorrect use: abnormal conditions (e.g. underwa-
ter), lack of maintenance or care
5) ageing due to normal wear of the inner fabrics or
foams, the appearance of the external parts, or the
visor (scratches, marks, etc.)
6) abnormal and prolonged exposure to ultra-violet
light, in particular for the decorative colours. In addi-
tion, SHARK cannot consider subjective considerations
related to use of the helmet as defects covered by the
warranty : problems with comfort, size, noise or whist-
ling, aerodynamics, etc.
SHARK cannot be held liable for the temporary non-
availability of the helmet while it is being enhanced
to satisfy the needs of its owner. In all cases, the
maximum warranty period is 5 years. Replacement
of a component during this period does not prolong
this period.
Procedure
When the helmet is sold the warranty card comprising
all the information must be filled out and returned to
SHARK SA by the purchaser.
All warranty claims must be made to the SHARK dealer
that sold the helmet.
For a warranty claim to be considered, the purchaser
must notify the dealer of the problem that has arisen,
and return the helmet that is the subject of the claim,
together with the warranty card filled out when the
helmet was purchased. This warranty does not affect
in any way the statutory rights of the purchaser as sti-
pulated by directive 1999/44CE.
The effects of this specific and limited warranty shall
come to an end after a period of 5 years as from the
date of purchase. After this period, if you continue to
use a helmet regularly, we recommend that to bene-
fit from optimum protection and comfort you should
replace your helmet. This is because certain external
factors - general wear, certain impacts - could be pre-
judicial to the safety characteristics of this essential
piece of protective equipment.
Limit SHARK reserves the right to carry out work
within the terms of the warranty using replacement
parts from the most recent version compatible with
the model concerned, and is unable to guarantee
perfect harmonisation of the paint or decorative ele-
ments associated with specific production runs and/or
limited editions. In addition, the natural deterioration of
colours over a period of time can cause mismatching
in the adaptation of colours of spare parts.
If SHARK is unable to carry out the repair for techni-
cal reasons or because a component is not available,
SHARK undertakes to make the customer an advanta-
geous offer, taking account of the age of the helmet,
