WARRANTY INFORMATION

Freestyle warrants, to the original purchaser,
that its watches are free from defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of
ten (10) years under normal use. The war­ranty excludes batteries, crystal, watch case
plating, and strap/bracelet/band. The war­ranty excludes normal wear and tear and
abuse.

Special note: Freestyle®watches are
designed and engineered to be highly
water-resistant, and to withstand the most
active of lifestyles. The most important
component in keeping your watch water­resistant is the case back O-ring, which pre­vents water from entering the watch through
the case back.

Water leakage most often occurs after
improper battery replacement. We strongly
recommend having a certified jeweler, watch
repair technician or Freestyle's service cen­ter replace your battery. Water leakage due
to improper battery replacement is not cov­ered under warranty.

Should your Freestyle®watch require war­ranty service, send it along with the follow­i n g :

1. Acopy of your sales receipt

2. Your printed name and address

3. Your telephone number

4. Abrief description of the problem

5. If your watch was purchased within the
last year, there is no charge for process­ing and handling; if your watch was pur­chased more than 12 months ago, please
include $8.00 for processing and han­dling, using one of the following payment
m e t h o d s :

- C h e c k

-Money Order

-Credit Card (be sure to include card num­ber and expiration date)

REMEMBER: NEVER INCLUDE A S P E­C I A L WATCHBAND OR A N YO T H E R
A RTICLE OF PERSONALA RTICLES OF
VALUE IN YOUR SHIPMENT.

Neither this warranty, nor any other war­ranty expressed, is assumed for any inci­dental or consequential damages, includ­ing but not limited to the mathematical
accuracy of the product. Some states do
not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, or the exclusions of
or limitations on consequential damages,
so the above limitations may not apply to
you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may have other rights
which vary from state to state.

This warranty applies to watches pur­chased in the United States. For watches
