YT Industries

1126 Placid Cir.

Waco, TX 76706


B. All sales of YT products within the United States are made by YT Industries


C. The product representations in our online shop do not constitute a legally binding offer. Such product representations are of a non-binding nature. In placing an online or telephone order you are making a binding offer of purchase. The nature of the products is solely determined by the product specifications contained within the online catalogue. These product specifications may vary from the photographs included in the catalogue. YT Industries will confirm receipt of placement of order by e-mail without delay. Said confirmation of placement of order does not constitute acceptance of your offer. The sole purpose of such a confirmation of placement of order is to enable you to check your order. The contract shall not be concluded until confirmation of order is sent by e-mail or until goods are dispatched.
D. Supplementary agreements, side agreements, amendments, agreements regarding the nature of goods and the acceptance of guarantees shall not be effective unless expressly confirmed in writing by YT Industries



3. Prices and costs of delivery


A. Prices are stated in US dollars (USD) and do not include sales tax, which will be calculated at check-out, where applicable, and costs of shipping. Information on shipping costs is provided in the summary of costs of shipping. You will be liable for additional costs incurred; We will indicate such additional costs to you prior to your order. Please contact us on service-usa@yt-industries.com for information in this regard.


B. Insofar as nothing to the contrary has expressly been agreed, YT Industries . shall determine the appropriate means of shipping and the forwarding company at our own fair and just discretion.


C. Commercial sales shall be subject to the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, as well as the provisions of that uniform code, as adopted by the state of Texas. Risk of loss for commercial purchases transfers as agreed with the business purchaser or, absent agreement, as provided by the applicable UCC rules. This subsection does not apply to consumer purchases, which are governed by Section 3(D). Shipping may be requested and available; however, risk of loss shall transfer FOB seller.


D. Following delivery, you are required to inspect goods for possible damage during transport and to notify us of any such damage without delay. Such a requirement and any breach of such a requirement shall be without prejudice to your warranty rights. The sole purpose of such a requirement is to secure our claims against the forwarding company


E. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Any price change will not affect orders for which we have already sent an order confirmation. The price that applies to your order is the price displayed at checkout at the time you place your order. Posted prices do not include sales tax or shipping charges, which are calculated and shown separately before you complete your purchase. This subsection is subject to Section 3(H) (Pricing Errors).


F. There are no guaranteed delivery times. Delivery times can be impacted by many factors, and YT INDUSTRIES . has no control over what happens to a shipment once it has left our offices.


G. When shipping outside the USA, Duties and Taxes may occur and be inflicted on your shipment from YT Industries . It is in no way YT Industries . responsibility to pay any such duties that may arise. It is the responsible of the customer to pay for such Taxes and Duties in order to accept delivery of the shipment. In no way is this a reason to deny receipt of the delivery and return the shipment. Please research your countries import taxes, duties and laws prior to ordering anything from YT Industries outside the USA.


H. Pricing Errors. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the products on the Site may be mispriced due to typographical, clerical, data-feed, or similar errors.

TO THE EXTENT AN IMPLIED WARRANTY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, SUCH WARRANTY IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE EXPRESS WARRANTY PERIOD. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, ANY LIMITATION ON WARRANTY DURATION MAY NOT APPLY. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE CUSTOMER SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND CUSTOMER MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.


B. This disclaimer and exclusion shall apply even if the express warranty set forth above fails of its essential purpose.



8. Liability


A. These General Terms and Conditions do not limit the liability of YT Industries, its legal representatives and vicarious agents arising from damage to life, limb or health nor do these General Terms and Conditions limit liability arising as a result of malicious concealment of defects or acceptance of a guarantee of the nature of goods. These General Terms and Conditions further do not limit liability as a result of damages caused by intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by YT Industries, its legal representatives or its vicarious agents.


B. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will the YT Industries Parties be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Site, the Services, or any products purchased through the Site, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not the YT Industries Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Liability for defects in the products themselves remains governed by, and is separately limited by, Section 9 (Limited Warranty).


D. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, the liability of the YT Industries Parties is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.



9. Limited Warranty


A. This Limited Warranty is provided by YOUNG TALENT INDUSTRIES GmbH (the "Warrantor"). YT Industries USA LLC acts solely as seller and administers warranty claims on the Warrantor's behalf; it is not the warrantor. YT frames will be free from any defects in material and workmanship for a period of five years from the delivery date. This guarantee does not cover damage to paintwork/anodizing or damage to consumable components. All component parts, excluding batteries, manufactured by YOUNG TALENT INDUSTRIES GmbH are warrantied for two (2) years from the date of delivery. Batteries manufactured by YOUNG TALENT INDUSTRIES GmbH are warrantied for one (1) year from the date of delivery.


B. The warranty provided by this Section 9 warranties that the YT Industries frame or component parts, as applicable, will remain free from material defects and defects in workmanship for the period set out in Section 9.A above. This warranty does not extend to, or include parts subject to wear and tear or damage to paintwork/anodization. Parts subject to wear and tear include, but are not limited to: bearing axes, roller bearings including their seals and lubricants (deep groove ball bearings/angular ball bearings/needle bearings etc.), sliding bearings, the guides and seals of suspension elements, drive components (chain/pinions/chain links/free-running hub) and brake pads.


C. This warranty further does not extend to any third party component parts attached to, or sold in conjunction with a complete bike sold by YT Industries .


D. Components other than the YT Industries frame, including but not limited to handlebars, headsets, wheels, brakes, chains, cranks, pedals, gears, suspension components, derailleurs, seats, seat posts, bearings, etc., are not warranted by YT Industries ., but may be covered by their respective manufacturers’ warranties. For warranty information on third party component parts, please see warranty information from each individual component manufacturer. Please advise, and contact YT Industries . in case of such warranty claim, and we will attempt to assist with warranty process for a component provider to the extent we determine reasonable.


E. The Warrantor, acting through YT Industries as its authorized administrator, will at its own fair discretion and at its own expense in remedying any defects which occur via repair or via the supply of new or generally reconditioned YT-Industries parts. In the case of non-availability, we further reserve the right to provide replacements in a different color/design or in the form of an equivalent model from a subsequent year. Other claims made on the basis of this warranty shall be excluded, in particular claims for compensation or for reimbursement of transport costs or costs of assembly. Notwithstanding this, the present warranty shall be without prejudice to your contractual or statutory rights associated with the purchase of the product.


F. The following additional conditions apply in respect of the warranty: The warranty shall not apply in circumstances where the bicycle exhibits damage or appearances of wear and tear caused by use which is improper or inappropriate in accordance with the areas of deployment for the respective bicycle as presented on our website. Improper use of the product, for which the warranty will be void include, but are not limited to the following:

  1. Neglect of the product (insufficient care and maintenance)
  2. Alterations to the frame or fork (e.g. engravings or varnishing)
  3. Installation and conversions using additional components not expressly authorized by us or replacement of components installed by us when the bicycle was supplied with non-equivalent components
  4. Ongoing operation of a bicycle with wrongly adjusted, defective or worn out bearings or defective suspension elements
  5. Damage to the seat tube in the area where it meets the upper bar as a result of the saddle support being pulled too far out of the seat tube
  6. Other uses of the product, for which the product was not designed, and which YT Industries . has made no indication of the acceptability of such use or fitness for such purpose.


G. This limited warranty is conditioned upon the YT products being used and operated under normal conditions, within the reasonable foreseeable use of the product, and continued proper maintenance of the product. The warranty shall not apply in circumstances where the bicycle exhibits damage or appearances of wear and tear which are caused by excessive stresses of all kinds, in particular falls and jumps. Excessive stresses shall always be deemed to have taken place in the following cases:

  1. Deformation of the frame. This is the consequence of excessive stress and thus constitutes a sign of improper use.
  2. A bent or broken drop-out (the part of the dropout to which the rear derailleur hanger is attached). This is a result of overload or incorrect adjustment. This component is designed to prevent damage to the frame and derailleur caused by excessive stress.

H. The limited warranty set forth in this Section 9 is applicable only to the initial purchaser of the product and requires a copy of the original sales receipt in order to be honored. Warranty claims are submitted to YT Industries, which administers them on the Warrantor's behalf. The initial purchaser shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under these General Terms and Conditions. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves purchaser of any of its obligations to YT Industries.


I. Applicable Models – This limited warranty applies to those products purchased from YT Industries ., as factory warrantied by YOUNG TALENT INDUSTRIES GmbH. Other YT-Industries products not purchased from YT Industries ., or not in the possession of the original purchaser shall not be covered by this limited warranty. Non-YT-Industries products purchased from YT Industries . are similarly not covered by these terms and conditions or this warranty, but rather are covered by the warranties of the respective manufacturer of the product.


J. The individual presenting any YT product for warranty service or replacement shall pay all labor charges associated with non-warranty repair or replacement. This limited warranty does not cover shipping of the products; therefore, all travel or shipping charges associated with either warrantied or non-warrantied service or replacement shall be borne by the individual presenting the product for warranty service or replacement, unless otherwise arranged by YT Industries . customer service with a pre-paid shipping label.


K. THIS SECTION 9 REPRESENTS THE FULL AND COMPLETE STATEMENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED BY YT INDUSTRIES . AND YOUNG TALENT INDUSTRIES GMBH FOR ITS PRODUCTS. NO EXTENDED WARRANTY IS OFFERED OR PERMITTED AND ANY SUCH EXTENSION OF WARRANTY IS OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF REPRESENTATION OF YT INDUSTRIES . AND YOUNG TALENT INDUSTRIES GMBH. NO ACTIONS BY ANY THIRD PARTY MAY CREATE AN EXTENSION OF THIS WARRANTY. ALL OF THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER ARE STATED HEREIN. PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT YT INDUSTRIES . AND YOUNG TALENT INDUSTRIES GMBH’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE NO GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE AND IN NO EVENT SHALL YT INDUSTRIES . OR YOUNG TALENT INDUSTRIES GMBH BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

B. The language of the purchase agreement and these General Terms and Conditions are English.

12. General Use Disclaimer


Cycling is a Dangerous Activity


All forms of cycling present inherent risks of injury that the rider must assume, and a bicycle cannot protect you in an accident. Always wear a helmet. Do not ride in the dark or during limited visibility without proper lights. Some countries, states or cities have specific requirements for lights and other equipment. Check before traveling with your bicycle.


You must make your own decisions about your skills and the level of risk you are willing to confront. Do not ride beyond your ability or the designated limits of your bicycle. If you are not sure of the limits or condition of your bicycle, consult a local professional who can advise, or contact YT Industries . YT Industries . is not responsible for any damages to you or others arising from riding, transporting or other use of your bicycle. In the event that your frame breaks or malfunctions, YT Industries . shall have no liability or obligation beyond the repair or replacement of your frame pursuant to the terms outlined in the warranty.



13. Product Life Cycle


A. Bicycles are not indestructible, and every YT-Industries frameset has a useful product life cycle. The length of that useful product life cycle will vary depending on the construction and the materials of the frameset, maintenance and care the frameset receives, and the amount and type of use the frameset is subject to over its life. The more you ride – and the harder you ride – the more frequently you should have your bicycle professionally inspected and maintained. Read your owner’s manual for recommended service intervals and procedures.


B. YT Industries recommends that a professional independent bike dealer inspect the frame for stress at least annually, as well as any time the bike has been involved in a crash or subjected to significant loads, even if no damage is apparent. Crashes, overloads and repeated stresses can cause small fractures and other hidden damage that may lead to catastrophic failure. Signs of an impending frame failure may be apparent in the form of cracks, fracture lines, deformation, dents, squeaks and other indicators of abnormality, but in some cases damage cannot be seen, felt or heard. Safety checks are important to prevent accidents, injuries and failure of an YT-Industries frameset.


Never ride on a bicycle that is damaged or in need of maintenance, repair or adjustment. A broken or misadjusted part can cause stress and eventual failure of that part or other parts. For example, a single loose or broken spoke can lead to wheel failure and a catastrophic crash.



14. Indemnification


To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless YT Industries, our affiliates, and each of our and their respective officers, members, managers, directors, agents, partners and employees (individually and collectively), the “YT Industries Parties” from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, expenses or costs ("Claims") arising out of or related to (a) your access to or use of our Services, including your conduct in connection with our Services; (b) your User Content or Feedback; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation, misappropriation or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights). You agree to promptly notify YT Industries Parties of any third-party Claims, cooperate with YT Industries Parties in defending such Claims and pay all fees, costs and expenses associated with defending such Claims (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees). You also agree that the YT Industries Parties will have control of the defense, including choice of counsel, and control of settlement of any third-party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and any of the YT Industries Parties.



15. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver


Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. Most concerns can be resolved quickly by contacting our customer service team, and we encourage you to contact us first.


A. Informal resolution. Before starting an arbitration, you and YT Industries agree to try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days after written notice of the dispute is provided to the other party.


B. Agreement to arbitrate. If the dispute is not resolved, you and YT Industries (and, with respect to warranty claims under Section 9, YOUNG TALENT INDUSTRIES GmbH) agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your purchase will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and, where applicable, its Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.


C. Class-action waiver. You and YT Industries, and (for warranty claims under Section 9) YOUNG TALENT INDUSTRIES GmbH agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will be severed and may proceed in court.


D. Location and costs. Arbitration will take place in the county of your residence or another mutually agreed location, or may be conducted by video or telephone where JAMS rules permit. We will pay arbitration filing and administrative fees to the extent required by JAMS's Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards.


E. Small-claims and injunctive carve-out. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property. Nothing in this section requires arbitration of any claim or right that, under applicable law, cannot be required to be arbitrated.


F. Your right to opt out. You may reject this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to service-usa@yt-industries.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, order information, and your intent to opt out. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.



16. Release


TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU RELEASE YT INDUSTRIES , YOUNG TALENT INDUSTRIES GMBH, AND THEIR AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (THE "YT INDUSTRIES PARTIES") FROM RESPONSIBILITY, LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, AND DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, INCLUDING CLAIMS OF NEGLIGENCE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO DISPUTES BETWEEN USERS AND THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THIRD PARTIES.


Nothing in this release deprives you of any right or remedy under mandatory consumer-protection law of your state of residence that cannot be waived by contract.


If you are a California resident, you expressly waive California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." You waive § 1542 and any similar law of any jurisdiction, so that this release includes claims you do not know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time you agree to it, except for the claims excluded above.
