Warranty Policy

1. Summary of Coverage

• Limited Warranty Term: 1 year from the date the initial owner receives the product.
• Scope: Manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship under normal, intended use. Complimentary/free accessories are excluded.
• Remedy: At DYU’s option, repair or replacement of the defective component(s). Labor for part changeover is not included unless required by law.

2. Warranty Eligibility & Registration

• Automatic registration: The warranty is registered automatically for the initial purchaser using the order placed on dyubikes.com.
• Start date: The warranty period begins on the date the initial owner receives the product.
• Transfer: Warranty may transfer to a new owner only if both conditions are met:

3. What Is Covered

3.1 Frame

• Coverage: 1-year replacement of a frame with a manufacturing defect.

6. How to Make a Warranty Claim

1. Contact: E-mail [email protected].
2. Provide: order number, bike model/SKU, serial number, a clear description of the issue (what/when/how), and steps already taken.
3. Evidence: attach clear photos/videos of the problem and of the shipping packaging (good lighting; close-to-medium distance). If file size >10MB, send via email rather than web forms.
4. Assessment: Our team may suggest troubleshooting. DYU will not ship replacement parts before reviewing sufficient photo/video evidence.
5. Timing: Valid warranty claims must be submitted within 1 year of the original delivery date.

7. Shipping Damage Claims

• On delivery: Please inspect the package before signing. Note any visible damage with the courier if possible.
• If damage is found: E-mail [email protected] within 7 days of receipt with photos/videos of the outer box, labels, inner packaging, and the affected parts.
• Free accessories: Cosmetic scratches on complimentary accessories are not eligible for replacement or compensation.

8. Returns, Repairs & Logistics

• Authorization: All returns must be pre-authorized by DYU Support (RMA). Returns sent without RMA, to an incorrect address, or with empty/incorrect contents may be refused.
• Shipping costs: Unless stated otherwise by law or by explicit DYU approval (e.g., verified 7-day DOA), the customer is responsible for shipping the product/part back to DYU. DYU covers shipping to send repaired/replacement items back to you.
• Customs & duties: If return shipments incur duties/taxes during re-import, these may be deducted from any approved refund where permitted by law.
• Turnaround: Typical processing after receipt is 3–6 business days for exchanges/refunds; repair timelines vary by part availability (usually 7–14 business days).

9. Owner Responsibilities

• Follow the Assembly Instructions & Owner’s Manual for setup and maintenance.
• Use only approved chargers and parts; keep proof of purchase and serial labels intact.
• Stop using the product if a fault occurs and contact DYU to prevent further damage.

10. Legal & Consumer Rights

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary by country. For EU/EEA consumers, this warranty operates in addition to, and does not limit, your statutory consumer rights (including legal guarantees of conformity under applicable law).
