Manufacturer's Guarantee
When purchasing a new Bold bicycle from an authorized Bold dealer, SCOTT Sports SA grants a manufacturer's guarantee subject to the following provisions.
Conditions
The manufacturer's guarantee is only granted to the first-time buyer of a Bold bicycle who has purchased it from an authorized Bold dealer.
Duration
The manufacturer's guarantee is granted from the date of purchase for a period of five years on bicycle frames and rear ends. The guarantee period is reduced to three years, if the Bold bicycle is not serviced at least once a year by an authorized Bold dealer. Maintenance services must be carried out in accordance with the maintenance instructions in the Bold manual and must be confirmed there by the stamp and signature of the authorized Bold dealer.
For frames and rear ends of Category 5 bicycle models the duration of the manufacturer's guarantee is limited to two years.
If a defect on the Bold bicycle is remedied within the scope of a manufacturer’s guarantee or a warranty claim, the duration of the manufacturer's guarantee is not extended. The manufacturer's guarantee ends, when the first-time buyer transfers ownership of the Bold bicycle to a third person.
