To qualify for the warranties detailed in this Policy, Diono instructs all Purchasers to complete the online Product Registration form (available here) and mail the owner registration card included in the Product Purchase to Diono within (30) days of purchase. Failing to take such actions may prevent a Purchaser from qualify for the warranties detailed in this Policy. For more information about Product registration, Purchasers are recommended to refer to their Product’s Product Manual (available here), the Diono Instruction Manual, and/or contact Diono as provided in Section 9 of this Policy. Such registration requirements detailed in this subsection of the Policy do not apply to warranties provided by Diono E.U. as detailed in Section 2.4 below.

2.4 General European Warranty Period.

The Products are presumed to be in conformity with the Contract if they are fit for the purposes for which products of the same type are normally used, or show the quality and performance which are normal in products of the same type and which Purchaser can reasonably expect, given the nature of the Products and taking into account any public statements on the specific characteristics of the goods made about them by Diono, particularly in advertising or on labelling. Purchaser must inform Diono E.U. of the Lack of Conformity within a period of two (2) months from the date on which Purchaser detected such lack of conformity discovery.

If a Diono Product is discontinued or Diono does not have a direct replacement, a store credit for the value of the Diono Product will be issued in lieu of replacement.
3. Implied Warranties
Any implied warranties applied to a Product, including without limitation implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, shall be limited to the duration and terms of the express written warranties detailed in this Policy. Such warranties give Purchasers specific legal rights, which vary from jurisdiction-to-jurisdiction. Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. As such, such implied warranty limitations may not apply. Notwithstanding, neither Diono, nor any retailer selling any Product, authorizes any person to create for it any other warranty, obligation, or liability in connection with any Product not otherwise detailed in this Policy.
4. Warranty Limitations
4.1 Damage Limitations. The warranties identified in this Policy do not cover: (a) any Product purchased from a non-authorized Diono retailer; (b) the effects of normal wear and tear on a Product; (c) damage arising from Product repairs or modifications carried out by a third party; (d) a Product’s involvement in an accident; (e) dissatisfaction with a Product’s fit, weight, functionality, color or style; (f) Product damage resulting from negligence, modification, improper installation, accident, transport damage, incorrect washing of covers, corrosion, rust, mold, insufficient maintenance, misuse or abuse ; or (g) any Product defect that originated from material or design supplied by the Purchaser.
4.2 Remedy Limitations. It is expressly agreed that Diono’s obligations and a Purchaser’s remedies under the limited warranties provided in this Policy are exclusive and are strictly limited to the repair or replacement of a Product unless as otherwise detailed in Section 2 of this Policy. Such limited warranties are also conditional upon strict compliance with the provisions of the Instruction Manual for the Product(s) in question. In no event will Diono or any of their authorized manufacturers or retailers be liable to a Purchaser for any damages, including without limitation incidental or consequential damages, arising out of a Purchaser’s use or inability to use any Product.
4.3 Other Requirements and Limitations. The warranties detailed in this Policy: (a) are non-transferable by Purchaser; (b) are only valid when supplied with proof of purchase from an authorized retailer or the Website; and (c) are valid only in the original country of the Product’s purchase.
5. Use of Outside Parts and Accessories
The use of covers, inserts, toys, accessories, or tightening devices produced by parties other than Diono or its authorized manufacturers (collectively, Outside Products) in any Product is not approved by Diono. The use of any Outside Product in conjunction with a Product could cause the Product to fail U.S., Canadian, U.K., and/or European safety standards. As a result, use of any Outside Product with a Product automatically voids any warranties granted under this Policy.
6. Reserved Rights
Diono reserves the right to: (a) discontinue any Product; (b) change a Product’s parts, fabrics, or design; (c) substitute a Product with a comparable model or Product; or (d) apply a divergent manufacturer’s guarantee for a Product in any specific geographical region.
7. Shipping Charges
Shipping charges for the replacement of any Product pursuant to a warranty granted under this Policy will be Purchaser’s sole responsibility. Diono will not be responsible for any delays or damage caused by the shipment of a replacement Product. More information about Diono’s shipping policies can be found in the Diono Shipping Policy.
