Bates Australia guarantee the Bates range of saddles for a period of two years against faulty materials, or workmanship. Further, the Elastiflex tree in your saddle is guaranteed against breakage for the lifetime of the saddle deemed to be 10 years. The CAIR® air panels are guaranteed for a period of five years. The warranty on a Bates saddle and its components is subject to use under normal conditions. The warranty card should be retained by the purchaser, along with the original receipt as the retailer will require it should warranty work be required. Saddles which require a repair under warranty should ideally be returned to the store from which they were purchased. Associated transport costs are the owner’s responsibility.
