THE ELAN WARRANTY PROCESS
- Elan warranty policy applies only to products purchased from authorized dealers (eBay is NOT an authorized Elan dealer) and is valid only for the original purchaser.
- Warranty claims are to be made through the authorized Elan dealer where the product was purchased. The dealer will initiate the warranty process and ship the product to Elan if necessary.
- If the product was purchased online, you must contact the online shop where the product was purchased. Normally, the dealer will ask for proof of purchase and several photos of the affected area(s).
- The authorized Elan retailer will serve as the sole point of contact for all warranty claims.
