GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE ONLINE SHOP
1. SCOPE OF APPLICATION
This online shop is operated by Trek Bicycle Corporation UK, (hereinafter “Trek”, “we”, “our”), 9 Sherbourne Dr, Tilbrook, Milton Keynes MK7 8HX, United Kingdom.
All orders placed via the online shop and contracts concluded with TREK are subject to these General Terms and Conditions (GTC).
2. CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT
By placing products in a shopping cart and clicking the “Pay” button, the customer submits an offer to TREK to conclude a purchase contract. A contract is entered into as soon as TREK confirms acceptance of the offer in writing to the customer (email regarding order or dispatch confirmation) or dispatches the products. After the offer is accepted, the customer is bound by his/her order and can no longer change it unilaterally.
Products and prices displayed on a website are not requests for conclusion of a contract, but rather invitations to the customer to order products.
TREK reserves the right to refuse to fulfil, in whole or in part, the purchase contracts concluded without giving any reason. In such cases, the customer will be refunded any payment already made. Any additional claims from the customer vis-à-vis TREK are excluded.
TREK only accepts orders through the online shop.
3. PRICES AND SHIPPING COSTS
Prices are quoted in Pound (GBP) including VAT. The price specified at the time when the binding order is placed is decisive.
The standard shipping costs within the UK amount to GBP 2.00 per order of parts and accessories for home deliveries. Click and Collect orders are shipped free of charge to your local Trek retailer. The shipping costs are invoiced to the customer in addition to the purchase price of the ordered products. For a parts and accessories order value above GBP 40.00, shipping is free of charge within the UK.
Delivery on bikes to your local Trek retailer will be free of charge. Home delivery of bikes (where possible) will be GBP 35.00, except for the Fetch+ 4 which has a shipping fee of GBP 150.00.
No shipping out of the country. Shipping to UK mainland only. No shipping to Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands of the Isle of Man.
4. HOME DELIVERY
Orders that do not include a bicycle will be sent to the home address provided by the customer in the UK, unless the customer wishes to collect the order from a specialist dealer.
Home delivery is handled by a delivery service specified by TREK (generally UPS or DPD). Home deliveries do not include services such as unpacking, assembling or adjusting the products.
The customer must ensure that the specified home address is covered by the UPS or DPD parcel delivery service. No PO boxes allowed.
5. PICKUP DELIVERIES
Orders that include a bicycle are always delivered to one of our specialist dealers and can be picked up by the customer from there. Home delivery is not possible for these products as they require assistance with assembly, adjustment and fitting.
The customer can also have orders that do not include a bicycle delivered to a specialist dealer for pickup.
In principle, deliveries for pickup are shipped by TREK to the specialist dealer located nearest to the specified customer address. However, when placing an order, the customer can also choose to have the order delivered to another specialist dealer listed on the online shop.
Once an order has arrived at the specialist dealer, the customer is informed that the order is ready for pickup. The specialist dealer will only hand over an order upon presentation of the pickup notification and an official ID. The customer must confirm receipt of the order in writing for the specialist dealer’s records.
When collecting a delivery of a bicycle, the customer is entitled to have the aforementioned ordered products assembled and adjusted by the specialist dealer.
Once the customer has been informed that ordered products are available for pickup, the customer must pick up the delivery within one month. If not collected within this period, the customer will be deemed to have waived the right to contract performance by TREK.
6. DELIVERY TIMES
TREK confirms receipt of an order and the availability of the ordered products to the customer by email. In principle, the customer receives the products ordered within 10 working days of receipt of the aforementioned confirmation email.
7. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
The customer has the right to withdraw from contracts concluded with TREK. The right of withdrawal is duly exercised if the products are handed over by the customer to a parcel delivery service for shipment to TREK within 30 days of receipt of the order.
For any products returned, the customer will be refunded the purchase price paid. A purchase price refund requires that the product is received by TREK fully intact, unused and undamaged, with all labels and manuals.
For any return shipments without the provided return label, the customer must bear the return costs him/herself.
Bicycles cannot be returned directly to TREK; instead, they must be returned to the specialist dealer from which they were collected. In such cases, the purchase price is not refunded by the specialist dealer. The refund to the customer is handled by TREK or by a service provider commissioned by TREK. Only the aforementioned products may be returned to the specialist dealer; all other products must be returned to TREK.
The customer can also assert his/her right of withdrawal vis-à-vis TREK by way of a withdrawal notice. To do this, the customer must either submit a withdrawal notice to TREK within 30 days of receipt of the order, clearly stating his/her decision to withdraw from the purchase contract, or may send a notification to the following address:
Trek Bicycle Corporation UK
9 Sherbourne Dr, Tilbrook,
Milton Keynes MK7 8HX, United Kingdom
with the following content:
