purchase date shown on the tax receipt, Nolangroup shall repair or replace the defective product

through its distribution network after having verified the defect. Nolangroup shall supply all the material

and labor that is reasonably required to remedy the defect, except in those cases where the damage is

caused by one of the items listed in the following paragraph “Exclusions and limitations of the

Coverage”.

18.2. Exclusions and limitations of the coverage

This warranty only covers defects in materials and manufacturing. Nolangroup shall not be considered

responsible for product defects that can be attributed, either partially or in full, to any other cause,

including but not limited to:

 Defects or damages resulting from using the Product in conditions that differ from the usual ones.

 Damages caused by improper use not conforming with normal operation in accordance with the

product operating and maintenance instructions provided by Nolangroup.

 Negligence and normal wear of internal and external parts.

 Any damage caused by an accident;

 Any change or modification made to the helmet or to the N-com system by the user or by third

parties.

 Colour changes or damages caused by exposure to harmful chemical products.

 The use of incompatible accessories that are not part of the N-Com product range.

 Moreover, the warranty does not cover product defects caused by fortuitous events, modifications or

adjustments, causes of force majeur or damages deriving from the product coming in contact with

liquids.

 The internal helmet components are not and cannot be waterproof. Consequently, any improper

exposure to rain, humidity, food spillages or other liquids can result in damages to the N-Com

electronic devices, damages for which Nolangroup shall not be responsible.

 This warranty does not include those parts subject to wear and tear such as, for example, the

rechargeable battery and the cables used for connection between the various N-Com systems or

between the N-Com systems and other devices.

 Since Nolangroup does not supply the system on which the cell phones work, it shall not be

responsible for the operation, availability, coverage, services or range pertaining to the

aforementioned system.

 Whenever the product is used in conjunction with accessories or equipment not supplied by

Nolangroup, Nolangroup shall not guarantee proper operation of the product/device combination,

BX5

Nolangroup shall not be responsible in case the product presents limited capabilities due to the

operating mode of cell phones or of other accessories or equipment not supplied by Nolangroup.

Tampering with the internal electronic card or with other parts of the N-Com system shall invalidate the

warranty.

Moreover, the defects covered by this warranty do not include all those specific and subjective situations

that may come up during the active use of the helmet such as, for example, comfort problems while

riding or aerodynamic noises.

Nolangroup shall not be held responsible in any case for incidental or consequential damages (including,

without any limitation whatsoever, damages to one or more persons) resulting from non-fulfilment of

the obligations arising from this warranty as it pertains to Nolangroup products.

To forward a claim covered by this warranty, the buyer has to directly notify the dealer where the helmet

was purchased with regards to the defect, presenting at the same time the defective product, a copy of

the sales receipt and the Warranty registration form, duly filled out as instructed above.

PRIOR TO CONTACTING THE DEALER, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ CAREFULLY THE USER

MANUAL ENCLOSED WITH THE PRODUCT.

AFTER 2 (TWO) YEARS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE, THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS VOID FOR ALL

EFFECTS AND PURPOSES.

Repairs or maintenance under warranty do not extend the period of the warranty itself. Therefore, in

case the product or one of its components is replaced, this does not initiate a new warranty period, as

the purchase date of the original product shall be taken into account for warranty purposes.

Only for repairs or replacement of electronic components, in the event that Nolangroup proceeds to

repairing or replacing the product, said product shall enjoy a warranty period equal to the residual

portion of the original warranty or ninety (90) days from the repair date (the longer period being

considered).

The repair or replacement can be carried out even with regenerated components with equivalent

functions.

The replaced parts or components shall become property of Nolangroup.

THIS WARRANTY VOIDS AND REPLACES ANY OTHER WRITTEN OR VERBAL WARRANTIES PROVIDED

FOR BY THE LAW THAT CAN BE DEROGATED AT THE PARTIES’ WILL; SPECIFICALLY, NOLANGROUP DOES

NOT GRANT SPECIFIC WARRANTS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN

NO CASE SHALL NOLAN BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING BUT

NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL DAMAGES, TO THE FULL EXTENT THOSE DAMAGES

CAN BE DISCLAIMED BY THE LAW.

NOLANGROUP RESERVES ITSELF THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, AT ANY TIME AND WITHOUT ADVANCE

NOTICE, THE PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS, FUNCTIONS, COMPATIBILITY AND SOFTWARE.

Some Countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or the

limitation of the duration of implied warranties; as a result of this, the previous limitations and exclusions

may not be applicable to you.

This warranty does not have any effect on the customer’s legal rights under the national jurisdiction in

force or on the consumer’s rights towards the dealer sanctioned by the purchase/sale contract.

This warranty is valid throughout the European territory, and it represents the only express warranty

provided by Nolangroup in relation to the sale of its own products. This warranty does not affect the

rights to which the buyer is entitled and which are expressly provided for by Directive 1999/44/CE.

This warranty does not affect the consumer’s rights provided for by the law, and specifically by the

provisions of Legislative Decree 2 February 2002 n. 24.
