You, the customer, are responsible for returning the bike in its original condition. The product must be correctly protected, in its original packaging, in perfect condition for resale.

In order to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods, you should only handle and inspect the product in the same manner as you would be allowed to do in a shop.
   8. Installing the pedals and/or adjusting the handlebars and/or adjusting the saddle is likely to create small claws which diminish value of the bike. To the extent that these actions are not necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the bike, you are liable towards Cowboy for any diminished value caused by these actions. Riding the bike is considered handling the goods beyond what is allowed in a shop. In case of a dispute, proof such as a photo taken at the time of shipping is required.
   9. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of incorrect handling of the goods.
   10. In case you send the goods back to Cowboy, Cowboy can refuse repayment as long as Cowboy has not received the returned goods or until you have proved you have returned the goods, depending on which event occurs first.
   11. Cowboy shall reimburse you not later than 14 days starting from the day we received your returned goods. If Cowboy offers to collect the goods itself, you will be reimbursed within 14 days starting from the day you informed Cowboy to withdraw from the purchase agreement.
   12. Cowboy shall use the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise and provided that you do not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

6. Price
   1. The applicable prices are those in force at the moment of the conclusion of the purchase agreement. During the period Cowboy mentions in its offer, Cowboy's prices do not change, except for price changes that may result from changes in tax rates.
   2. Unless provided otherwise, the prices mentioned in our offers include VAT and all other taxes but exclude the shipping costs. The shipping costs may vary depending on the delivery mode and country of delivery.

8. Warranty
   1. If you are a consumer you have a legal warranty of 2 years for the goods you purchased from Cowboy. This 2-year warranty still applies if the bike is transferred to another owner, and the warranty expires 2 years after the bike was originally (first) purchased.
   2. Bikes sold via the Cowboy Circular program come with a 1 year warranty.
   3. This warranty covers all original components against defects in workmanship and materials (e.g. in case the products do not correspond with the product description in the user manual or do not correspond with the advertisement of the product).
   4. During the first six months of your warranty, you do not have to prove the defect was already present when you bought the product.
   5. The warranty does not cover damages or defects due to accidents; an incorrect assembly or installation of the product by the user; an improper or negligent use; operation or transformation of the product; a maintenance contrary to the maintenance instructions of the product (eg. lack of maintenance of the brakes).
   6. The warranty does not extend to parts that naturally deteriorate and need to be replaced due to normal use. The anticipated lifetime of these parts is dependent on factors such as the extent of use, maintenance, and overall handling. It is the responsibility of the owner to regularly inspect and adequately maintain their bicycle, and replace parts when they have reached their wear threshold. These parts include but are not limited to; tires, tubes, brake discs, brake pads, cables, belts, sprockets, spokes, bearings, saddle damage.
   7. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the battery is charged at the appropriate intervals (6-8 weeks) if not using the bike. Failure to do so may cause the battery to go into deep discharge mode, which is a necessary safety feature and requires a replacement of the battery at cost to the customer.
   8. The warranty explicitly excludes coverage for any issues arising from the alteration or transformation of the product, including the use of third-party applications to modify or adjust motor controller settings. It is important to note that even a single modification can directly result in damages. Moreover, if such alterations lead to issues with other aspects of the bike, including its hardware, those specific issues will also not be covered under this warranty.
   9. Claims under the warranty must be made directly to Cowboy. Any repair under warranty needs to be executed by Cowboy or approved by Cowboy in advance. If not, Cowboy has the right to refuse the warranty claim.
   10. If a warranty claim is accepted, we will, in our sole discretion, provide a replacement (which is not necessarily identical) for any defective part or component(s), or we may make reasonable commercial efforts to fix the part or components. Cowboy will cover the expenses of the part, shipping, and any associated repair labor costs. Any additional transportation costs (such as those incurred if the customer requests an on-site technician to carry out the repair, or travel expenses to and from a service point) will be the responsibility of the customer.
   11. The customer must return the defective part under warranty (replaced during a repair) to Cowboy, unless specifically stated otherwise by Cowboy. Cowboy has the right to withhold further repairs or support until the defective part has been returned to Cowboy.
   12. Any replacement parts or components will be covered under warranty for the same length of time as the original product, and will expire at the same time as the original product's warranty.
   13. The warranty referred to in this article applies to products intended for use within Cowboy shipping countries: Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, France, UK, Luxembourg, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Austria, USA. Cowboy has no (warranty) obligations towards the consumer should the product be used outside those countries.
   14. Scratches and cosmetic damage (such as colour fading and paint chipping) are not covered by warranty.
9. Delivery and execution
   1. All products are delivered to the address you gave Cowboy as delivery address or address of execution of the service.
   2. The delivery period indicated by Cowboy shall be based on the circumstances applicable to Cowboy at the time the agreement was entered into.
   3. Unless the parties have agreed otherwise of the time of delivery, Cowboy shall deliver the goods by transferring the physical possession or control of the goods to the consumer without undue delay, and not later than 30 days from the conclusion of the contract.
   4. Where Cowboy has failed to fulfil its obligation to deliver the goods at the time or within the time limit agreed upon with you, you shall call upon Cowboy to make the delivery within an additional period of time appropriate to the circumstances. If Cowboy fails to deliver the goods within that additional period of time, you shall be entitled to terminate the contract.
   5. The delivery takes place via Mondial Relay. The process is as follows: (1) you make an appointment and (2) the bike is delivered to the place indicated by you.
   6. When Cowboy dispatches the goods to you, the risk of loss of or damage to the goods shall pass to you when you or a third party indicated by you and other than the carrier has acquired the physical possession of the goods. However, the risk shall pass to you upon delivery to the carrier if the carrier was commissioned by you to carry the goods and that choice was not offered by Cowboy, without prejudice to your rights against the carrier.
   7. Delivery charges apply for all bike purchases, including both new and Circular bikes. The delivery options and charges will be clearly stated at checkout.
10. Force majeure
    1. If Cowboy 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.
    2. Events of force majeure are all circumstances external to Cowboy's will and control that render the respect of our obligations completely or partly impossible.
