Warranty Policy
Effective as of August 1st, 2018
Every Decathlon product is supported by a warranty, as explained below.
Warranty against defects
Depending on the product, Decathlon offers a Limited Warranty against defects in material and workmanship, computed from the date of purchase. To find the length of the applicable warranty period (“Warranty Period”), please see the product page on the website.
Please ensure that you retain your receipt as this document will be necessary for you to exercise your warranty rights.
Warranty coverage
The Warranty only applies to products manufactured by or for Decathlon that can be identified by the Decathlon trademark or logo affixed to them. Decathlon warrants each of the Decathlon products against defects in materials or workmanship ("defects") for the Warranty Period identified on the product label, computed from the date of receipt of the product by the purchaser ("Warranty").
If a product is replaced during the Warranty Period, the replacement product will be warranted for the remainder of the Warranty Period of the original product.
Exclusions
The Warranty does not apply to any non-Decathlon product, even if packaged or sold with a Decathlon product, and does not apply to any counterfeit product.
Others exclusions include:
- Defects that come from normal wear and tear;
- Defects caused by accident, neglect, abuse, misuse, misapplication, or non-Decathlon products;
- Defects caused by exposure to extreme natural conditions, liquids, or gases;
- Defects caused by handling by third parties (such as postal service, airlines, hotels, etc.);
- Defects caused by service (including repairs) performed by anyone other than a Decathlon authorized representative;
- Defect caused by a modification of a product without Decathlon’s permission;
- If the product serial number has been removed or defaced, or if the displayed serial number does not correspond to the nature, type, or origin of the product.
Remedies
Limitation of warranty
THIS WARRANTY AND THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS DOCUMENT ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REMEDIES, AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. DECATHLON SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
DECATHLON DOES NOT WARRANT THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR ANY PRODUCT UNDER THIS WARRANTY OR PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT PRODUCT THAT MEETS ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTIONALITIES OF THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT.
The Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other legal rights depending on the state in which you reside. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, some of the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you. In such states, Decathlon’s warranty is limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable state law.
This Warranty is only extended to the original purchaser or gift recipient of a product.
Limitation of damages
DECATHLON IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (SUCH AS LOSS OF CONTENT, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF TIME, ETC.), OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE, CAUSED BY A PRODUCT DEFECT.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or exclusions, thus the above exclusions may not apply to you.
