For purposes of this limited warranty, “lifetime” warranty coverage ends when the applicable product becomes un-useable for reasons other than defects in workmanship or material/faulty design. This limited lifetime warranty only to the original end-user customer of the product for so long as the original end-user customer owns the product. This limited lifetime warranty is non-transferable. The non-transferability shall extend to use of competition equipment after competition events including legacy assignment of product. If Uesaka Olympic Competition bars are used for training purposes, the warranty shall be the same for Uesaka Olympic Training Bars, see (B) below.

For the purpose of this limited warranty, the 10 year warranty coverage could, and will end at any time prior to 10 years if the applicable product becomes unusable for reasons other than defects in workmanship or materials.
- Uesaka warrants that all other Uesaka bars not specifically mentioned above shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the date of delivery. For purposes of this limited warranty, the 2 year warranty coverage could, and will end any time prior to 2 years if applicable product becomes unusable for reasons other than defect in workmanship or material.

For purposes of this limited warranty, the 90 day warranty coverage could, and will end at any time prior to the 90 days if the product becomes unusable for reasons other than defects in workmanship or material.
Uesaka’s obligation under the aforesaid warranties shall be discounting, repairing or replacing Uesaka products, which if properly used, including use on approved flooring surfaces and maintained in methods and manners outlined in the Enclosed Proper Care and Maintenance Manual, prove defective in material or workmanship. Such discount, repair or replacement schedule shall be the sole discretion of Uesaka. Original purchaser must return said product for repair or replacement in original shipping boxes or containers. It shall be the sole obligation of the purchaser to arrange for shipping of said product to a designated Uesaka facility within (14) days of written request for discount, repair or replacement. Any repaired or replaced product pursuant to this warranty will be warranted for the remaining time of the original warranty period. Upon Uesaka’s request, and at the purchaser’s expense, buyer shall promptly provide samples of product or other evidence of alleged defect claim to product. Claiming an alleged defect does not relieve buyer of any of its payment obligations to Uesaka or authorized dealers. Buyer must not return any alleged defective products without Uesaka’s written consent. Uesaka’s warranty obligation listed above shall not apply to any part of the products sold hereunder, which (a) are consumed by normal wear and tear, including but not limited to marks and scratches on chrome or rubber surfaces of bars and discs. Claims against “chrome pealing” shall only be covered if inspection of chrome surface reveals a defect in the chrome application or plating material; (b) have normal lifetime inherently shorter than the herein stated warranty period; (c) have damage due to negligent or faulty use, alteration, maintenance, storage or handling by buyer, including but not limited to damage to bar or discs on unapproved floor surfaces determined by Uesaka to be safe for use of equipment. Any suggestion by Uesaka or Uesaka Dealers regarding use, application or suitability of products shall not be construed as an express warranty unless confirmed to be such in writing by Uesaka. THE WARRANTY EXPRESSED HEREIN SHALL BE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICIPATION PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AS IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITY ON UESAKA’S PART. ANY PRODUCTS WHICH BY AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES ARE OF LESS THAN UESAKA’S STANDARD QUALITY ARE SOLD “AS IS”.

Written notice of any alleged defect must be presented to Uesaka within fourteen (14) days after discovery, and Uesaka must be allowed to inspect the applicable product (s) while they are in the alleged defective condition. Use of allegedly defective products must be suspended immediately until clearance is issued by Uesaka for continued use.
