When the parcel is received, we will inspect the condition of the item to ensure there is no damage and that you have only handled the goods in a way that is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics or functioning of them for the intended purpose. If after inspection, we discover the goods have been handled beyond what is necessary, we will email you with evidence of this and discuss the reduction of value from the purchase price. If the item is not in a new and sellable condition, this could affect the value of the refund up to 100% of the selling price for badly marked items. 

 

In any event, we will process your refund within 14 days, minus any agreed reduction and delivery charges that were added at the time of the sale. 

 

In the event you decide to cancel your purchase before it is posted, we will process your refund without undue delay. 

 

In the event you cancel your order whilst it is in transit, your refund will be processed within 14 days of the order arriving back with us. 

 

If you choose to refuse delivery at the door and have the courier return the goods this does not automatically cancel the contract. We will still require notification of your wish to cancel the contract and will provide a refund within 14 days of the goods arriving back with us. 

 

If you have ordered something from us that is custom made to your specific requirements or they are clearly personalised and are unlikely to be able to be sold to anyone else, you do not have the right to change your mind and return the goods. 

 

Refunds will only be made using the same means used to make the purchase.

To be eligible for a return, you must provide proof of purchase, the item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it and in the original packaging.

 

10. Our liability

 

Faulty Items & Warranty Claims

 

Our returns policy does not affect your statutory rights as found in the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The Act requires that any product purchased from us through our site is of satisfactory quality, reasonably durable and fit for all the purposes for which products of that kind are commonly supplied.

 

If goods have broken due to a manufacturing defect or some other fault, please contact us to arrange for the item to be returned to us. The items should be cleaned and free from contamination prior to being returned to us.

 

We will send the goods to the distributor to be inspected as part of the warranty process. Depending on the time since purchase before the fault occurred and the nature of the fault, the item will either be repaired or replaced and returned to you. We will be responsible for the postage in this instance. 

 

We will require you to provide a copy of the original proof of purchase if the product was purchased in store. We aim to get any successful warranty claimed item back to you within two weeks. 

 

This policy does not apply to any defect in the product arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, an accident, negligence by you or any third party, if you use the product in a way that we do not recommend, you fail to follow manufacturer’s instructions, carry out any alterations or non-standard repair without our prior written approval.

 

All new products sold will have a standard manufacturer’s warranty. If the manufacturer of the goods purchased offer an extended warranty, you may be required to register for this on their website to benefit from the extended coverage.

 

Any products purchased which are listed as ex-display products or used stock (meaning they may have slight cosmetic defects, be a factory refurbished item or may have previously been sent out and sent back as an unwanted item) have a warranty of 30 days. Where products are ex-display or used stock it will be noted in the product description on our website, any significant marks or defects will be detailed to assist in your decision to buy the goods. 

 

You are still entitled to the 14 day cancellation period detailed above to allow you time to inspect the goods to determine suitability, however the description brought to your attention before you make your decision to buy cannot be relied upon by you to determine it to not be of satisfactory quality.  

 

Our liability for losses you suffer as a result of us breaching this agreement is strictly limited to the purchase price of the product you purchased. This by no way changes your rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

All bikes that are submitted for repair should be cleaned prior to being dropped off. The bike will undergo a full Mechanical check (M Check) to assess the work required to allow us to give the customer a written quote. The quote will detail the parts required to conduct the repair as well as the labour charge. A deposit may be required before any parts are ordered and work proceeds. 

 

If once the work has started, additional issues are discovered meaning further parts and/or labour is required to make the bike safe, you will be contacted to gain approval before this is completed. 

 

We can accept no liability for any defects following your decision not to go ahead with any remedial work that is recommended following the M Check and the additional quotes communicated to you. 

 

We reserve the right not to carry out work to bikes we deem unsafe. The reasons will be documented and explained to you in detail. 

 

Payment is required before handing over any sold or repaired bike, this will be subject to the condition below. 

 

For in store collection we allow a reasonable amount of time to collect once an order has been made. We expect most orders to be collected within a working week. In exceptional circumstances, orders may be collected within a month. This may incur a small storage charge of £5.00 per week for late collections. 

 

Failing that, we will provide written notice at 30 days from the initial contact requesting you collect your bike. In line with the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, if goods are ordered and paid for but they are not collected, steps will be made to sell the goods in extremis and a refund given minus any losses incurred by us. 

 

We are not monsters, if you are facing difficulties, please talk to us to make arrangements to suit us both.

 

All parts fitted have a minimum manufacturer’s warranty against faults and defects of no less than 12 months. We also guarantee our labour for 6 months from the date of completion of work. 

 

We warrant to you that any Product purchased from us is of satisfactory quality and fit for all the purposes for which products of that kind are commonly supplied. This warranty does not apply to any damage to the Product arising from fair wear and tear, willful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, if you use the Product in a way that it is not designed to be used, your failure to follow instructions, or any alterations or repair you carry out without our prior written approval. 

 

We advise removing all accessories prior to dropping any bike of with us.

 

We do not accept any direct or indirect loss to you for any problems experienced unless directly attributable to the actions of Wet Rock N Ride Ltd’s negligence.
