Limited Commercial Warranty
This Warranty sets out your specific rights in your capacity as a consumer in respect of your Verge Motorcycle.
In addition to the rights specified in this Warranty, you may also have other legal rights varying based on your country and state of residence in the EU to which Verge provides its products and services or in Monaco.

Except for the express limited warranties provided in this Warranty, Verge disclaims all other express and implied warranties and representations of any kind, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

No person or entity (including an Authorized Retailer) is authorized to make any other warranties or representations on behalf of Verge. No Verge employee or representative, Verge’s affiliates, Authorized Retailers or any third party is authorized to make any modification, extension or addition to this Warranty or any part of these terms.

What does this Warranty cover?
Verge warrants that in case any material, structural and other lack of conformity in the Verge Motorcycle and/or the Power Battery are detected during the applicable Warranty Period in Normal Use Conditions, Verge agrees to repair or replace the Verge Motorcycle, the Power Battery and/or any parts that are covered by this this Warranty subject to the terms set forth herein.
This Warranty covers:
- the Verge Motorcycle, including the following items therein:
- frame, swing arm, fork, rear shock, brake assemblies; and
- wheels and electrical sub-assemblies;
- the Power Battery and its components, including:
- the battery management system and internal wiring; and
- the Verge Motorcycle accessories installed in your Verge Motorcycle by an Authorized Retailer at the time of delivery.
If Verge repairs or replaces the Verge Motorcycle and/or the Power Battery under this Warranty, the repaired or replaced Verge Motorcycle and/or the Power Battery shall continue to be warranted for the remaining time of the original Warranty Period or for three (3) months from the date of the repair or replacement, whichever is longer.
How can you get warranty service?
In order to activate the Warranty on your Verge Club account and to get the possibility to access enhanced customer support, you must register the Warranty in your Verge Club account after the Verge Motorcycle has been delivered to you. Please log in to your Verge Club account and submit the VIN number (vehicle identification number) of your Verge Motorcycle when prompted.
You can obtain warranty service and receive assistance by contacting us at the email address in Appendix 1 and/or submitting a warranty claim form through your Verge Club account. You must submit a warranty claim within a reasonable time from detecting the issue and at the latest within two (2) months after detecting the issue. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, if we consider that based on the submitted warranty claim form it is necessary to bring the Verge Motorcycle in for warranty service, we will give you instructions on how to bring in the Verge Motorcycle to us.
When we have taken the Verge Motorcycle in for warranty service, we will determine if there is a defect or malfunction covered by this Warranty. If we find a lack of conformity covered by this Warranty, we will repair or replace (depending on the nature of the defect/malfunction, your preferences and other circumstances) your Verge Motorcycle at our expense. Repair or replacement may involve the use of reconditioned and/or refurbished parts functionally equivalent to new ones, unless prohibited by mandatory law.
Please note that determining the defect or malfunction and carrying out the warranty service may take longer in some cases, depending on the features and components of your Verge Motorcycle.
In the event that any part of or the entire Verge Motorcycle and/or the Power Battery are replaced in the warranty service, we will not return your original Verge Motorcycle and/or Power Battery (or any part thereof) to you.
In some cases, we may determine that repair or replacement is not possible or reasonable to fix the defect or malfunction. In such event we may offer you a discount or refund you the purchase price of the Verge Motorcycle as your sole remedy. You may have the right to ask for a refund or a discount, for example, if we have not been successful in our efforts to repair or replace your Verge Motorcycle.
What is not covered by this Warranty?
This Warranty does not apply to any software nor to any other products required to use the Verge Motorcycle which are not installed to or otherwise included in the Verge Motorcycle at the time of the original purchase of the Verge Motorcycle.
Any license to use the Verge software is set out in the Verge System Terms of Use. Other products are subject to other terms, even if intended or labelled to be used together with the Verge Motorcycle.
Even if this Warranty does not apply to your Verge Motorcycle, this does not affect or limit any remedy that you may be entitled to you under applicable consumer protection laws, including any statutory rights for a refund, replacement or repair of the Verge Motorcycle against the retailer from whom you purchased the Verge Motorcycle.
This Warranty does not apply if the Warranty Period has expired or if the Verge Motorcycle and/or the Power Battery is not used in Normal Use Conditions and in accordance with the terms of this Warranty.

- installation or use of any charger not approved by Verge for the Verge Motorcycle;

- cosmetic damages (such as scratches) due to abuse, improper maintenance or environmental conditions; and/or

Furthermore, this Warranty does not cover and Verge is not responsible for damage to the Verge Motorcycle and/or the Power Battery Product or loss or deterioration of them resulting from normal wear and tear, including, but not limited to tires, brake pads and rotors, bearings and gaskets, fork seals and battery maintenance.
Please note that due to physical and chemical features of the Power Battery, there is a habitual capacity degradation that the Power Battery can yield over time and use. Depending on the use and storage of your Verge Motorcycle, the Power Battery is expected to degrade during the Warranty Period and this Warranty covers only repair or replace in respect of such Power Battery that during the Warranty Period exhibits a storage capacity reduction of greater than 20% (twenty percent) of the published capacity measured by an Authorized Retailer or Verge.
We reserve the right to use factory certified Power Battery with a pro-rated state of health as a warranty service replacement component. If the degraded Power Battery covered by this Warranty is completely non-operating, the Power Battery will be replaced with an entirely new Power Battery. If the Power Battery is operating, yet it has receded beyond design expectations, the pro-ration of state of health will be applied based on the remaining useable life of the Power Battery.
No data loss is covered by this Warranty. You are solely responsible for backing up regularly your data, electronically or physically if you wish to retain your data. No loss, damages, loss of profit or costs in respect of data recovery, removal or installation are covered under this Warranty.

The aforementioned does not apply to damage or loss caused by negligence of Verge or its employees or Authorized Retailers.
