10. Warranty
The statutory warranty covers defects. Damage resulting from improper use, use of force, lack of maintenance, or normal wear
and tear, is excluded from such a statutory defect warranty.
The period of statutory warranty depends on the law of the country in question.
Our products have components or parts which are also subject to natural wear and tear arising from normal use, depending
very much on the type and degree of use and also how well the product has been serviced and maintained.
In particular where there has been a lot of use (day in day out and in all kinds of weather), individual parts or components
can reach their wear limit before the statutory guarantee period has expired. Just because a product has become prematurely
worn because of use, it does not automatically mean the product is defective.
For your information we have therefore listed in the following table the important parts affected by wear and tear, and have
named typical contributing factors relating to use, which may considerably influence wear limit.
Maintenance and care of bicycle trailers and jogging strollers:

• Type of use
