ART. 11) WARRANTY FOR NON-COMPLIANT PRODUCTS
The products purchased on the website https://bikehouse-motorrad.com are subject to the provisions, where applicable, of Italian Legislative Decree 2.2.2002 no. 24 (G.U. no. 57, 8.3.2002) regarding sales contracts and warranties for consumer goods and, for issues not addressed therein, the Italian Civil Code. This warranty shall apply to any product presenting non-conformities and/or malfunctions which could not be detected at the time of purchase, as long as the product itself is utilised properly and with due diligence, or rather in compliance with its intended use, with that which is indicated in the relative technical documentation and with respect for the operating standards indicated therein. The warranty described above shall not, on the other hand, be applicable in cases of negligence or in cases of improper product use and maintenance. The warranty is personal and is reserved exclusively to direct customers. It shall therefore only be recognised in relation to the original buyer and not in relation to dealers, resellers, etc. Any eventual product non-conformities must be communicated within the terms prescribed by law, by completing the form which can be requested at the appropriate email address (info@bikehouse-motorrad.com ). This form must be attached to a copy of the order confirmation received by email from BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. (as indicated under Art. 3 above) and included with the return shipment containing the non-compliant product. The product, though non-compliant, must be returned to BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. for repair or replacement in its original packaging and along with all of the accessories and documentation received by the Customer at the time of delivery. The return shipment of the product without its original packaging, accessories and documentation will impede BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. from obtaining a replacement product from the manufacturer, thereby likewise preventing its replacement for the Customer. BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. reserves the right to verify the non-conformity of the product returned by the Customer and to repair or replace the product after this inspection alone. If, following inspection on behalf of BIKE HOUSE S.R.L., the fault should not result as a conformity defect, the Company reserves the right to charge the Customer for the costs associated with the inspection and restoration of the product, as well as the relative shipping costs.

BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. is in no way liable for damages or theft/loss of products returned by uninsured shipments.

BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. will attend to reimbursement of the price of the products for which the Customer has exercised the right of withdrawal, withholding the amount of shipping charges incurred by BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. at time of shipment (available on request the documentation for the shipment cost).

- the lack and/or damage of packaging and/or of the original packaging;
- the lack of all integral elements of the product (accessories, tags, labels, informative notes etc.);
- damage to the product for causes other than transportation;
- the use of the product.

In case of forfeiture of the right of withdrawal, BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. will return to the Customer the purchased product already in its possession, charging to the same the transport costs.

BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. undertakes to sustain the delivery costs for the return of the Products only in case of damage to the same due to transport or errors on the part of BIKE HOUSE S.R.L..

Only in such cases, BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. will credit to the Customer’s credit card the entire amount paid by the latter, including the delivery costs. BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. will send a courier to collect the Product from the address indicated by the Customer.

Should the Customer not exercise the right of withdrawal but request a change of size of the purchased product, the delivery costs for the return of the Product will be for the Customer’s account. Such possibility is granted to the Customer on the condition that the new requested product is of the same model as the one to be returned. Subject to availability of the product required for the size change, BIKE HOUSE S.R.L., after having effectively received the product returned by the Customer, will furnish the Products in the sizes indicated without the incurring of further delivery costs by the Customer. Any confirmation on the availability of the requested size, notified to the Customer at the time of the size change request, will not guarantee that - at the time of actual receipt of the returned product to the facilities of BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. - the new size will still be available: in case of non-availability, the Customer may notify BIKE HOUSE S.R.L. its intention to withdraw from the purchase.
