I. Important information about the right of withdrawal

1. Calculation of the withdrawal period:

Goods: Beginning on the day on which you or a third party designated by you (other than the carrier) physically take possession of the goods;

Goods delivered in several partial shipments or pieces: Beginning on the day on which you take possession of the last partial shipment or the last piece;

Goods delivered at regular intervals: Beginning on the day on which you take possession of the first piece.

2. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you only need to use the 14-business-day withdrawal period from the date of signing for the goods (using the “Online Exercise Instructions” below or the EU/UK standard form). You do not need to provide a reason.

3. Extension in the event of incomplete information: If this shop has not fully informed you about this right of withdrawal and the standard withdrawal form on a durable medium before the contract was concluded, the withdrawal period will automatically be extended by 12 months from the original expiry date; if we provide the missing information within this 12-month period, the withdrawal period will be 14 days from the date on which the information is provided.

II. Exercising the right of withdrawal online

1. Access the withdrawal request page via the “Cancel contract” link in the footer menu of the homepage or via the “Right of withdrawal” link in the “Policies” section of the homepage, in the member area, or on the order details page. This link can be accessed without logging in.

2. Withdrawal process:

Enter your order number, the email address used for the order, your name, your address, and the items you wish to return.

3. Legal proof of submission: After successful submission, you will receive a confirmation email (sent to the email address used for the order).

The refund will be made using the same payment method used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

2. Refund amount: The refund amount includes the full price paid for the goods and, where applicable, the standard shipping costs. We do not charge consumers any costs in connection with a withdrawal for:

Payment processing or handling fees exceeding the actual costs;

Costs for consultations or calls with customer service;

Unreasonable restocking or cancellation fees.

A return fee of €200 per bicycle applies to the return of a complete bicycle.

For the return of accessories, a flat fee of €30 will be deducted from the refund.

Additional costs resulting from choosing a return method other than the least expensive standard return method offered by us, or from your location, will be handled in accordance with applicable legal provisions.

Depreciation: If use exceeds what is necessary to examine the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods and this results in a reduction in the value of the returned goods, we reserve the right to retain an amount corresponding to the loss in value, to the extent permitted by law. We recommend retaining the original packaging and accessories when returning the goods.

4. Collection of the goods: Unless otherwise agreed, you must return the goods within a reasonable period (we recommend within 14 days) after withdrawal. If we offer to collect the goods from you, collection will be arranged within the statutory period.
