It includes all orders by telephone, e-mail, fax, or mail. Moreover, all sales during a trade show shall also be governed by these General Terms and Conditions insofar as they do not specifically regard distance selling.

The products in the website are directed to both Consumers and Business Customers. In each case those terms apply only to end users. For the purpose of these General Terms and Conditions, a „Consumer“ is any individual entering into the contract for a purpose not related to his or her business, trade or self-employed professional activity and a “Business Customer“ is a Customer (whether an individual, company or partnership vested with legal capacity) who enters into the relevant contract in the conduct of its business or its self-employed professional activity. Standard business conditions of the Customer do not apply, regardless of whether or not we expressly object to them in a particular case.
Bellatrix has the possibility to modify or adapt the General Terms and Conditions at any time. In this case, the applicable General Terms and Conditions are those settled when the order had been recorded.

CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT
All our products published in www.iweech.com are non-binding. To be able to place an order, you must be above the age of 18 and not legally incapacitated and have a valid e-mail address. If it comes to iweech’s attention that an order is made by a minor, iweech reserves the right to decline the order.
iweech describes in a clear, complete and accurate way the products it sells to customer, as well as the steps of the delivery process.
By placing an order in the Internet Shop (which requires prior registration and acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions and of the iweech app’s conditions of use and of iweech’s data protection policy, which are available on our website.), the Customer makes a binding offer to purchase the product. Afterward we will send an e-mail to the Customer to confirm the reception of the order, which is not an acceptance of the order. The order shall be deemed to be accepted by us either upon subsequent acceptance of the order or by dispatching the product. The sales contract with the Customer shall not become effective until our acceptance.
Any Customer who is a Consumer shall be entitled to revoke the offer. He has the possibility to return the product in accordance with our cancellation and return policy. Our return policy is attached to the e-mail confirmation of your order. If a problem occurs with the bike, we’ll send a cost estimate for repair work right after having received the bike. The Customer has to declare within two weeks after receipt of the requested cost estimate whether he wants to accept or decline our offer. Without any answer, we will provide an appropriate grace period of one week. After the expiration of the grace period, we will assume that the Customer declines our offer and we will in this case return the product and charge the client for the transport costs.

ORDERS
Any order validated by the customer constitutes an irrevocable acceptance of the sales contract, which can only be discussed within the limits stipulated in the GTC. Bellatrix reserves the right to cancel the contract of a customer with whom there is a dispute. The accuracy of the information provided by the customer when ordering commits the latter: in case of error in the information, including the address, the email address and the name of the customer, Bellatrix will not be responsible for the impossibility of delivering the product. Any delivery made to the address indicated by the customer will be considered perfect. In the case of late shipping due to lack of information or error made by the customer, the costs incurred by this experience are billed to the customer.

PRICES
The applicable prices are those in force at the moment of the conclusion of the purchase agreement. All the prices in the website are in Euro and include statutory VAT. Our prices are net of shipping costs. For delivery in non-EU countries prices are in Euro and do not include VAT. The customer himself supports all customs duties and similar charges (depend of his country). The payment of the shipping costs will be charge to confirm the order, unless expressly otherwise specified by us (shipping costs included). The Customer shall have no right of set-off or retention, except to the extent that the counterclaim has not been disputed by us or been determined by a final and binding decision. iweech explicitly states in its price offer when it is only valid for a constrained period or is subject to specific conditions other than those set out in these conditions of sale

LEGAL GUARANTEES
Regardless of the commercial warantee below, we remain bound by the legal guarantee of conformity mentioned in articles L. 211-4 of the French Consumer Code and the legal guarantee involving latent defects defined in article 1641 of the French Civil Code.

Conformity guarantees (extract from the French Consumer Code):
Article L211-4 of the Consumer Code: “The seller is required to deliver goods in accordance with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. It also responds to any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, mounting guidelines or installation, if the contract mention the consumer responsability or if the product has been carried out under its responsibility “.

Article L211-5 of the Consumer Code: “To be in conformity with the contract, the product must:
-Be fit for the usual expected use of a similar good and, where applicable: correspond to the description given by the seller and possess the qualities that he presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or a model ; Present the qualities that a buyer may legitimately expect given the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, including advertising or labeling;
-Or presenting the characteristics defined by mutual agreement by the parties or be suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, made known to the seller and that the latter has accepted “. Article L211-12 of the Consumer Code: “The action resulting from the lack of conformity is prescribed by two years from the delivery of the good”.

Legal guarantee involving latent defects (extract of the French Civil Code):
Article 1641: “The seller is bound by the guarantee for reasons of hidden defects of the thing sold which makes it unsuitable for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce so much such use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have given a lower price, had he known it.

Article 1648: “The action resulting from latent defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years from the discovery of the defect”.

It is recalled that, when acting as a legal guarantee of conformity, the customer:
– benefits from a period of two years from delivery of the property to act;
– may choose between the repair or replacement of the property, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L211-9 of the Consumer Code;
-is exempted from reporting the proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the good during the 6 months following the delivery of the good. This period is extended to 24 months from March 18, 2016, except for second-hand goods.
The legal guarantee of conformity applies regardless of the commercial guarantee that may be granted. The customer can therefore decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects of the thing sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the Civil Code.

In this case, he can choose between the resolution of the sale or a reduction of the selling price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code. If the supplied goods have a lack of conformity, the customer may demand the elimination of the defect by the repair of the product, or by the delivery of a free of defect goods . We may refuse the choice of the customer if this choice has a cost that is disproportionate with regard to the other modality, given the value of the property or the size of the defect. We have then the obligation to proceed, except impossibility, to the modality not chosen by the customer. If the repair and replacement are impossible, the customer can return the goods and get the price back or keep the goods and get a part of the price back.
The same faculty is open to him if:
-The solution requested, proposed or agreed in accordance with the paragraph COMMERCIAL WARRANTY cannot be implemented within one month of the complaint of the customer.
-This solution cannot be chosen without major inconvenience for him, taking into account the nature of the goods and the use that it seeks.

The cancellation of the sale cannot however be pronounced if the lack of conformity is minor. In addition, the specific provisions of the LIABILITIES section of these general conditions apply to claims for damages made by the customer.

 

COMMERCIAL WARRANTY
In addition to the legal guarantees, we provide our customers a 5-year commercial warranty from the date of delivery for all models. This warranty covers frames, forks, and stems of all models, excluding bearings, calipers and levers, pedals, fenders, luggage rack, lighting, leather and textile items (handles and saddle), tires, wheels, belt and paint or anodizing damage.

We are able to offer our customers spare parts necessary for the use of our products, at least until the expiry of the legal guaranty period. However, we reserve the right, in the event of unavailability during this period, to offer equivalent or superior spare parts.

Without affecting the rights of the customer arising from the legal warranty, the following additional terms apply to the commercial warranty we grant:
-The commercial warranty does not apply to defects caused by improper or inappropriate use by reference to the conditions of use presented on our website for the product concerned, such as: Product negligence (inadequate maintenance), Modifications of the frame or the fork (eg engravings or paintings), Addition or transformation of additional components not expressly approved by us, Replacement of the components assembled by us by components of different nature, Fall, Overload, Jumps, Other constraints excessive.
-Our commercial warranty applies only to the first purchaser of the product (“first-hand buyer”).
-In accordance with Article L. 211-16 of the Consumer Code, when the customer requests, during the course of the commercial guarantee, which has been granted to him, a restoration covered by the guarantee, a period of immobilization of at least 7 days is added to the duration of the guarantee that remained to run.

DISPUTE AND APPLICABLE LAW
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the transactions arising therefrom are governed by and subject to the French Law. If the present general conditions of sale are translated into one or more foreign languages, only the French text will prevail in the event of dispute. This provision shall not, however, preclude the application of the mandatory protective provisions of the consumer provided for by the French Law which cannot be derogated from by agreement. If the customer would have complaints concerning iweech’s products, he should not hesitate to contact Bellatrix/iweech as indicated under preamble section above.
In case of difficulties in the application of the GTC, the customer has the possibility, before any mediation and any legal action, to seek an amicable resolution with the help of a professional association, an association of the European Online Dispute Resolution Service (https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr) or any other organisation of his choice. In the absence of an amicable resolution, the Client can ask for free the help of the mediator Medicys (73 boulevard de Clichy, 75009 Paris, website https://www.medicys.fr/). It is recalled that as a general rule, and subject to the discretion of the Courts, compliance with the provisions of the GTC relating to the contractual guarantee assumes that the customer honors its financial commitments to Bellatrix. Any dispute that cannot be resolved amicably, will be handled by the courts of the place where Bellatrix SAS remained at the time of the conclusion of the contract.

If Bellatrix is unable to fulfil any of its obligations towards the Client due to force majeure, these obligations shall be suspended during the force majeure situation. Events of force majeure are all circumstances external to iweech’s will and control that render the respect of our obligations completely or partly impossible. Such events include amongst others: strikes, fire, disruption of energy supplies or telecommunication networks or communication systems and/or the temporary down-time of the web shop, late delivery or absence of delivery by suppliers or other third parties. Claims for damages from the customer due to apparent defects in the goods delivered are excluded if the latter does not notify us of the defect within two weeks after delivery.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any harm resulting from our products, unless in the case of intentional fault. Our liability is in any case excluded for indirect damages such as damages resulting from an accident, loss of income, loss of productivity and loss of data, or for moral damages such as reputational damage. The limitation of liability in the foregoing sections applies to the extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of the applicable liability regime, and even in case of serious fault.
