  • If the defect of the product is not one of the cases of exclusion from the warranty (read above) , the customer will receive written authorization to return the product to the Barracuda Moto Australia site for a thorough technical check by the technical office. Any costs incurred for the return (shipping and any other) will be borne by the buyer and will be reimbursed only if the Seller's technical verification is successful and therefore only when the warranty claim is accepted.
