Warranty
All Superstar Components parts come with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty, this does not affect your statutory rights and is in addition to them.

Warranties start from the date of purchase, and will expire 2 years after this date even if parts are replaced within this time. Warranty does not apply to wear and tear parts (for example bearings), or cosmetic damage, unless the item is faulty from new. Component parts manufactured by other brands are covered under their own manufacturer's warranty. We cannot accept 3rd party costs or workmanship under warranty claims, and the intervention of a 3rd party may void your warranty. Incurred costs or labour charges are not covered by warranty.
Additional service schemes such as our 45 day brake pad trial are only valid for the original owner.
Free truing service and crash replacement scheme are no longer offered, as we no longer have the ability to build wheels. We apolagise for any inconvenience.

If you do not wish to pay for a repair, service or replacement, you will need to arrange for collection of the item from our premises at your cost. Items which are not collected 3 months from the date of receipt will be disposed of.

Items which are abused, neglected or crashed are not eligible for warranty repair or replacement. Frequent causes of failures include pressure washing, harsh cleaners and poor installation which are easily noted on inspection and will not be covered by warranty.

Copyright and ownership of Information
Superstar Components Ltd creates the majority of the pictures and descriptions for the website. This information is copyright of Superstar Components Ltd and may not be used by any other party without express permission of Superstar Components Ltd. The Superstar Components Ltd website is provided for use only for viewing by an end user. Taking of any content or prices by automated processes, such as spidering, will be deemed as a breach of copyright and is expressly forbidden except where specifically agreed with Superstar Components Ltd or where Superstar Components Ltd had expressly requested the process.
All pictures, material, code, intellectual property and descriptions are the property of Superstar Components Ltd. They may not be copied or used without the express permission of these parties.
Accuracy of Information
We put a lot of time and effort into describing and photographing the products we sell using manufacturer's websites, catalogues, our own photography studio and our own descriptions of the products. Although we aim that every picture and description is 100% accurate, mistakes do occur so let us know if you see or read something that isn't correct. If you have purchased something based on a picture or description on the website which turns out to be incorrect when you are inspecting your new goods, we will be happy to replace or refund the product if returned in an "as new and resalable condition" within the returns period.
Accuracy of colours and colour matching
Due to sourcing from many suppliers and material and manufacturing variations we cannot guarantee a colour match between any of our products. If you are not happy with the colour or finish of anything you can return it under your statutory rights. We cannot accept colour variation as a reason for rejection of custom assembled products.
Anodised aluminium colours will vary depending on several factors including batch, alloy, production process, surface finish and manufacturer. For example a handlebar made from drawn 7075 anodised using the same anodising code and process as a 3D forged stem made of 6061 alloy will produce a different colour and this is impossible to avoid. Parts will also have variation from one production batch to another.
Paint finish and colour cannot be matched to anodised colours as they are not like for like.
Changes
If we decide to change our Terms and Conditions, we will post changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it.

Superstar Components Ltd take environmental responsibility very seriously. All of our waste is pre-sorted to remove all recyclable materials before disposal to reduce our landfill.

We aim to retrieve coolant and reduce waste to minimise our environmental impact. By moving large portions of our manufacturing in house we save large amounts of shipping around the world reducing our CO2 output.
