The intent of this warranty is to ensure that the PURCHASER of any new PRODUCTS sold by SONDORS on SONDORS.com or Amazon.com will receive a high-quality product, free of manufacturing defects. This warranty should not be considered to be an insurance policy against any damage occurring after the products are received, nor as explicit or implicit acceptance by SONDORS of responsibility for the consequences resulting from the failure of any PRODUCTS, irrespective of whether the failure itself is covered by this warranty. 


In addition, the following situations are excluded from this warranty or lead to exclusion from this warranty:

  • Warranty claims not made in accordance with Warranty Claims Process (explained below).
  • PRODUCTS with technical alterations that have been made without the approval of the manufacturer.

The Scope of Warranty Service: 

In case of a warranty claim within the warranty period for a non-excluded situation, SONDORS agrees to repair or replace the failed warrantied PRODUCTS with equivalent parts/accessories/components at the discretion of SONDORS, by SONDORS, or by a third-party with the approval of SONDORS. Replacement parts may not be identical to those being replaced. 


Any additional non-warranty work done concurrently with a warranty repair/replacement will be subject to ordinary parts/labor fees. This includes anything not included by the warranty as well as anything excluded from the warranty. No service, repair, or parts replacement provided under warranty will extend the original warranty period. 

  

Warranty Claims Process:

Step 1 -  If you suspect that any part/component is defective, do not attempt to repair or replace it yourself or to have it repaired or replaced before contacting SONDORS— doing so may void your warranty and may cause additional damage, not necessarily limited to the PRODUCTS in question, and may also increase risk of injury.

Step 1 -   Contact SONDORS Tech Support.

Step 3 -   Provide photo, video and other details as requested by SONDORS.

Step 4 -   SONDORS will work with you to get you riding, whether it is an easy

     fix or one requiring a warranty replacement part.


SONDORS will not replace any part without first inspecting photos or video of the damaged part.


All claims to this warranty must be made through SONDORS as outlined above. The order number, email address and/or name used at time of original purchase is required to establish proof of purchase and warranty date.  Valid warranty claims will be processed through SONDORS within One (1) year from the original ship date.  

  

Shipping Damage Claims: 

IMMEDIATELY inspect your product(s) for damage. Shipping damage claims are extremely time sensitive. We will not accept shipping damage claims later than 14 days from receipt of the product. Whenever possible, note any damage to your product(s) on the Bill of Lading before you and the UPS driver sign-off on the delivery. Take pictures of any damage that is found, and date the images when possible. Keep all packaging and paperwork until the inspection process is complete. Whenever possible, report damage claims within 10 days of delivery to SONDORS Customer Support for return/replacement assistance and instructions. View the SONDORS return policy here.
