USEFUL PRODUCT LIFE Bicycles have an unquantifiable useful product life. The useful life span of a bicycle is affected by riding style, riding conditions, frame material and construction, and other factors. The warranty period offered by Marin does not guarantee that the bicycle will last forever, or for the life span of the original purchaser. Bicycles should be inspected regularly by an authorized Marin dealer, or qualified bicycle technician to identify any issues, which could lead to a failure. Whether a failed frame will be covered by this warranty, or not, will be determined solely by Marin Bikes, based on an evaluation of the failure, useful life, and any other relevant factors.

Marin cannot return un-repairable unwarranted products to the consumer if they are unsafe to use in their unrepaired condition. At no time may any retailer or distributor make representations of what is covered or not covered under this warranty without express written permission from Marin.
