SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE FOREGOING LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS IS LIMITED TO REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND AS SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT. NEITHER ANY PERFORMANCE OR OTHER CONDUCT, NOR ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION, STATEMENT, OR ADVICE PROVIDED BY US OR ANY OF OUR SUPPLIERS, AGENTS, OR EMPLOYEES WILL CREATE A WARRANTY, OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OR DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.

(a) Who May Use This Warranty?

This limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser of Products and Services from Echelon or new Products purchased from an authorized Echelon retailer. It does not extend to any subsequent or other owner or transferee of any Product or any transferee or other beneficiary of any Service.

(b) What Does This Warranty Cover?

This limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship in equipment and parts as indicated above.

This limited warranty does not cover any damages due to:

transportation;
storage;
improper use;
failure to follow the product instructions or to perform any preventive maintenance;
modifications;
combination or use with any products, materials, processes, systems, or other matter not provided or authorized in writing by Echelon Fitness Multimedia, LLC;
unauthorized repair;
normal wear and tear; or
external causes such as accidents, abuse, or other actions or events beyond our reasonable control.

(d) What is the Period of Coverage?

This limited warranty on Products starts on the date of your purchase and lasts for the period as indicated above for the different equipment and parts (the “Warranty Period”). The Warranty Period is not extended if we repair or replace a warranted Product or re-perform a warranted service. We may change the availability of this limited warranty at our discretion, but any such changes will not be retroactive.

(e) Echelon Premier Warranty.

(i) All active Premier Members receive an additional four (4) years of total warranty coverage in addition to the one (1) year limited warranty on equipment, for a total of five (5) years of total coverage. You must be and continue to be an active Premier Member to receive this benefit; past Premier Members are not eligible. The warranty period for Echelon Premier Warranty begins as of the date of purchase of the equipment; provided, however, that if a member decides to enroll in and maintain an Annual Premier Membership after the purchase of equipment, the member will receive the Premier Warranty beginning as of the purchase of Premier Warranty, and ending five (5) years from the original purchase of equipment. For example, if a member purchase a Premier Warranty two (2) years after purchasing the Product, the member would have extended coverage under the Premier Warranty for an additional three (3) years. The new Premier Warranty program begins immediately, and includes all existing Premier Members, who will receive the Premier Warranty for five (5) years from the date of equipment purchase. The Premier Warranty does not extend the limited warranty period on the treadmill motors or frames. The Premier Warranty does not cover other membership tiers, such as CHOICE Membership.

(ii) For active Premier Members who previously purchased an extended warranty, the Warranty Period shall be extended an additional four (4) years. For example, if an active Premier Member purchased a two (2) year extended warranty at the time of purchase, the member would receive seven (7) years of total coverage: one (1) year base warranty coverage + two (2) year extended warranty coverage + four (4) year Premier Warranty coverage.

(iii) Will Echelon still offer extended warranty coverage? Yes, for customers who chose not to purchase a membership, or who purchase a membership other than Premier Membership, we will still offer extended warranty options.

(f) What Are Your Remedies Under This Warranty?

With respect to any defective Product during the Warranty Period, we will, in our sole discretion, either: (i) repair or replace such Product (or the defective part) free of charge, or (ii) refund the purchase price of such Product. We will also pay for shipping and handling fees during the first 12 months to return the repaired or replacement product to you if we elect to repair or replace the defective Product. After month 12, if a replacement product is required, we will charge a fee for shipment of the new or refurbished replacement product to your location. For 2023 the replacement product shipping fee is $99. This replacement product shipping fee does not apply to items under the “frame warranty.”

With respect to any defective Service during the Warranty Period, we will, in our sole discretion, either: (i) repair or re-perform the defective Service free of charge, or (ii) refund the price paid by you for such Service.

(g) How Do You Obtain Warranty Service?

To obtain warranty service, you must call 833-YES-BIKE or email our Customer Service Department at cs@echelonfit.com during the Warranty Period, and one of our Customer Service Specialists will be happy to assist you to obtain an RMA number. No warranty service will be provided without an RMA number. It is possible we will need to send a technician to your location to complete the repair (Not available in all areas, please contact customer service to check for availability in your area).

(h) Limitation of Liability

THE REMEDIES DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND OUR ENTIRE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. OUR LIABILITY WILL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT OR SERVICE THAT YOU HAVE PURCHASED, NOR WILL WE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PRODUCTION, WORK, DATA, USE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, REPUTATION, REVENUE OR PROFIT, ANY DIMINUTION IN VALUE, COSTS OF REPLACEMENT GOODS OR SERVICES, OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOSSES, WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT. ECHELON COACHING OR TRAINING SERVICES ARE INTENDED SOLELY AS GENERAL FITNESS INFORMATIONAL MEANS BY WHICH MEMBERS AND/OR USERS CAN COMMUNICATE WITH ECHELON TRAINER COACHES. ECHELON DOES NOT REPRESENT IN ANY WAY THAT ANY NUTRITIONAL OR FITNESS ADVICE PROVIDED BY A TRAINER COACH CONSTITUTES QUALIFIED EXPERT ADVICE. IF YOU ENCOUNTER AN ECHELON COACH WHO IS PROVIDING EXPERT ADVICE IN VIOLATION OF THESE PRINCIPLES, PLEASE CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY AT corporatecounsel@echelonfit.com. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SEEK EXPERT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE IN NUTRITIONAL AND HEALTH MATTERS, AND SHOULD NOT RELY ON ANY OPINIONS EXPRESSED THROUGH THE SERVICES AS EXPERT OPINIONS OR ADVICE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
