Motorsport warranty statement

DBA’s warranty will NOT apply in relation to use of the product for any form of motorsport or speed trial.
Whilst DBA promotes some of its product for use in motor sport applications, DBA cannot warrant the product when used in any form of motor sport. Vehicle modifications by the consumer are out of our control and may affect the braking requirements for the vehicle and it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure vehicle safety in these applications.

This by no means detracts from the quality of the product DBA manufactures; it simply states that if the product is used in motor sport applications, DBA has no control on how or by whom the product is used.
