Our Terms and Conditions of sale with consumers are covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. All contracts are provided under English law. However, these do not cover Business to Business (B2B) sales which include eBikes provided under the Cycle2Work, Cyclescheme or Green Initiative Schemes.  Goods Purchased with finance are subject to any agreements with the Finance Provider and not Charged Electric Bike Store (Charged Direct Ebikes Ltd).

We have a legal obligation to supply goods in conformity with this agreement between ourselves and our consumers. Although we will under no terms accept liability for a product that has been used for anything other than its intended use. Therefore we will not falsely represent a product fit for any other purpose than in which the goods are usually supplied and as stated by the manufacturers. If you are unsure and would like the question and confirm if a product supplied is fit for any other purpose this must be in writing prior to purchase contract. 

Bicycles and Electric Bicycles alike are intricate moving objects that require a stage to bed-in and settle. In this initial period a new bike may experience the following (but not limited too) Rattles, Squeaks, Creaks, Gear Alignment Issues, Brakes Rubbing and bolts loosening. This is very normal for new bikes (eBikes) and should not alarm you. It is the consumer's responsibility to ensure regular maintenance checks to prevent these issues and we recommend this is done by a professional for safety. Although we also provide each new sale with a First Free Service (at 200miles - Free of Charge) to cover these initial bedding-in issues. It is the consumer's responsibility to deliver the bike back to our workshop for this service. If the consumer fails to return the Bike (eBike) at this time it will invalidate this contract and any warranty provided with the product.

Speed Pedelec and Electric Bikes supplied with Dongles (Tuning/Derestriction Devices) on the strict basis that the consumer has agreed that these devices and models are strictly for use on Private Land with the land owners permission (This does not include forestry commissionary land or any land that has access by the public whether that be road, Cycle paths, bridleways etc.) It is the consumer's responsibility to ensure they are using this product in the correct place. Charged Electric Bike Store will also not fit any devices to products for consumers. Devices are sold on the principle of working with the current software at the time of sale future updates could render the product incompatible and the consumer agrees that there is no warranty or guarantees that these will work in the future. 

As the consumer (B2B Excluded), you have the right to request a return of the product. This must be done formally in writing. All goods must be returned by the consumer to Charged Electric Bike Store for inspection. We are not liable for costs incurred for time or shipping etc when returning a product. In the event that you have chosen to return a product Charged Electric Bike Store will inspect the items and decide the necessary action to take whether it be a Repair, Replacement or Refund. This decision will be based on the Sales of Goods Act 1979. 

It is important to note that Bikes (eBikes) require regular cleaning, servicing and maintenance. To ensure they function and operate satisfactorily. We will not accept any liability for returns where it is visible/apparent that the appropriate servicing/maintenance has not been completed. We will also not accept liability for products that show signs of misuse or abuse (including the use of dongles). There are also many components that are considered consumables and cannot be replaced or considered unfit for purpose unless detected as defective at the time of delivery. A list of these consumables but not limited to is as followed: Bulbs, brake pads/blocks, bearings, tyres, tubes, chains, sprockets, hangers and cables.
