These general terms and conditions of sale (hereinafter referred to as the "GTCS") regulate the terms and conditions of sale of all products by DOLPHIN France (hereinafter referred to as "PROBIKESHOP") on its website www.probikeshop.com (hereinafter referred to as the "Site"), to any adult consumer, as defined by the introductory article of the Consumer Code, as well as any legal capacity and also residing in the following geographical territories: Metropolitan France, Corsica, French overseas departments and territories, Member States of the European Union (hereinafter referred to as the "BUYER").

PROBIKESHOP reserves the right to modify the GTCS at any time. These modifications are immediately enforceable as soon as they have been put online and cannot apply to previously concluded contracts. A copy of the GTCS applicable on the date of the order is available upon request of the Buyer.

Any order of a Product on sale on the Site implies full and complete acceptance of the GTCS. The Buyer confirms that they have read the GTCS prior to making their order, by ticking the corresponding check box when placing the order.

Prior to any purchase on the Site, the Buyer must create an account by completing the account creation form with the following information (mandatory information is indicated with an asterisk): title*, first name*, last name*, date of birth*, email address*, password*, type, delivery address*, telephone number*.

The Buyer can also order Products using a Paypal account. Paypal account registration conditions are available at the following link www.paypal.com

4.1 Product Characteristics - Availability

In accordance with Article L. 111-1 of the Consumer Code, the Buyer may, prior to placing an order, consult the essential characteristics of the Product(s) that they wish to order on the Site.

Finalising the order guarantees the immediate availability of the Product for delivery under the conditions of article 7 of the GTCS.

In the event that a Product is unavailable, the Buyer will be informed before their order is shipped.

4.2. Product selection

The Buyer must be aware of the Products and their characteristics. The Buyer is solely responsible for the products that they choose to match their needs.

In particular, PROBIKESHOP cannot be held liable in the event of incompatibility across the Products ordered and the products used by the Buyer, the latter being the only incidence in which one could judge the compatibility of the Products ordered with those already used.

4.3. Information on the availability of spare parts as defined in Article L. 111-3 of the Consumer Code

Given that, PROBIKESHOP is a reseller of spare parts, it is not required to indicate the duration of availability of these parts, which do not fall within the scope of Article L. 111-3 of the Consumer Code.

For other Products that themselves contain spare parts (i.e. cycles) (the "Complex Products"), unless otherwise indicated in the product description, no spare parts essential for their use are made available by the manufacturers.

However, PROBIKESHOP guarantees that spare parts compatible with the Complex Products are available on the Site for a period of two (2) years from the date the product is put online.

To place an order on the Site, the Buyer must follow these steps:

1. Product Selection: among the different categories of Products offered on the Site (frames, wheels, derailleurs, etc.), the Buyer selects one or several Products that they intend to order by clicking on the "ADD TO BASKET" icon.
2. Validation of the basket: the Buyer then clicks on "VIEW MY BASKET". They must then check that the prices, sizes and quantities of the Products appearing in the summary of the order, the "BASKET", correspond to what they wish to order.
3. Buyer identification: to identify themself, the Buyer must enter their account identifier and password, create a customer account on the Site in accordance with Article 3 of the GTCS or enter their Paypal account details.
4. Choice of delivery method: the Buyer selects the delivery method proposed by PROBIKESHOP.
5. Finalising the order: the Buyer clicks on the "FINALISE MY ORDER” button and then on the "VALIDATE AND PAY FOR MY ORDER" button. By clicking on this button, the Buyer is reminded of the price to be paid.
6. Accepting the GTCS: the Buyer reads the GTCS and accepts them by ticking the corresponding check box to proceed to payment.
7. Payment: The Buyer then chooses the currency (euros or Swiss francs), the method of payment and then proceeds to the payment of the order under the conditions defined in Article 6.2 of the GTCS. The order is placed as soon as the Buyer has confirmed the payment. When paying by credit card, bank details are not collected by PROBIKESHOP but by the financial institution Ingenico.
8. Order confirmation: PROBIKESHOP confirms the Buyer's order by sending an e-mail of the order summary.

This document is proof of the order. The Buyer must keep this order as proof of purchase.

The invoice is also made available to the Buyer on their customer account once their order has been shipped.

6.1. Applicable price

The sale price of the Products applicable on the Site is the price in force on the day the Buyer finalises their order. It is indicated in euros or Swiss francs, all taxes included. Any change in the applicable tax rate will automatically be reflected in the price of the Products sold by PROBIKESHOP.

By exception, the sale of the Products to the French overseas departments and territories excludes taxes. VAT and other applicable taxes in these departments will be charged by the carrier upon delivery of the ordered goods to the Buyer.

The sale price of the Products may be modified by PROBIKESHOP at any time and will be made applicable to any order placed after these modifications, meaning that the previous price cannot be claimed by the Buyer.

6.2 Methods of Payment

All orders are payable in euros or Swiss francs.

The price is payable in full on the day that the Buyer places the order. Any incomplete payment not corresponding to the amount of the purchase will result in the cancellation of the order.

You can consult the available payment methods by clicking on the following link www.probikeshop.com/static/payment.html

The collection of the total amount of the order will be carried out by PROBIKESHOP once the order is shipped, with the exception of orders placed "against refund", namely by direct payment to the carrier on the delivery date of the Products.

For orders paid by bank transfer, the order will be automatically cancelled if the payment is not received within four (4) days of the order placement.

When paying by card, the Buyer's account is debited on the day the order is shipped.

The Buyer guarantees to PROBIKESHOP that they are authorised to use the chosen payment method, upon placing the order.

PROBIKESHOP undertakes to respect the indicated delivery times, in accordance with Article L. 216-1 of the Consumer Code.

Under Article L. 216-2 of the Consumer Code, in the event of Probikeshop's failure to fulfil its obligation to deliver the goods on the date or at the end of the period provided for in the first paragraph of Article L. 216-1 or, failing that, no later than thirty days after the conclusion of the contract. The consumer may terminate the contract by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or in writing on another durable medium if, after having instructed Probikeshop, under the same conditions, to make the delivery within a reasonable additional period, the order has not been delivered within that period.

The contract will be considered terminated upon Probikeshop's receipt of the letter or written notice of such termination, unless Probikeshop has made this delivery before then.

The consumer may immediately terminate the contract when Probikeshop refuses to deliver the goods or when it fails to fulfil its obligation to deliver the goods on the date or at the end of the period provided for in the first paragraph of Article L. 216-1 and when that date or period is an essential condition of the contract for the consumer.

This essential condition results from the circumstances surrounding the conclusion of the contract or from an express request made by the consumer before the conclusion of the contract.

7.3. Receipt

If the package arrives damaged, opened or dirty, it is advisable to not accept it and to indicate the reasons why on the delivery note. The incident must also be reported to PROBIKESHOP as soon as possible by contacting Customer Services.

The Products are covered by:

• the legal warranty of conformity,
• the legal warranty against hidden defects resulting from a defect in material, design or manufacturing affecting the delivered Products and rendering them unfit for use,
• the Manufacturer's warranty, depending on the Products and brands concerned.

9.1 Legal warranties

In accordance with Articles L. 217-4 to L. 217-14 of the Consumer Code, PROBIKESHOP ensures the conformity of the Products sold on the Site.

When implementing the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:

• has a period of two (2) years to act from the delivery of the product;
• may choose between repairing or replacing the goods, provided that this choice does not require a cost that is manifestly disproportionate to the other method for PROBIKESHOP, taking into account the value of the product or the significance of the defect. In this case, PROBIKESHOP will be required to proceed, unless impossible, according to the method not chosen by the Buyer.
• the legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any granted commercial warranty.
• the Buyer may decide to implement the warranty against hidden defects of the sold product under Article 1641 of the Civil Code. In this case, they may choose between cancelling the sale or reducing the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.
• Any warranty is excluded in the event of the Buyer's misuse, negligence or lack of maintenance of the product, such as normal wear and tear of the goods, accidents or force majeure. PROBIKESHOP's warranty is limited to the replacement or refund of non-conforming products or damaged products.

In any case, the legal guarantees do not cover:

• the replacement of consumables,
• abnormal and non-conforming use of the Products,
• defects and their consequences due to abnormal intervention by the Buyer or modification of the product by a third party (such as repair),
• defects and their consequences related to the use of product when the use does not conform to the intended use of the Product (professional, collective use, etc.).

The mandatory legal provisions are set out in Appendix 1.

9.2 Manufacturer warranties

The scope of the manufacturer's warranties varies according to the Products and brands concerned and they are available on the product data sheets on the Site.

Any warranty therefore excludes cases of misuse, negligence or poor maintenance by the Purchaser, such as normal wear and tear, an accident as well as cases of force majeure.

In the event that the instructions are not delivered with the Product, at the Buyer's simple request, PROBIKESHOP will either send the instructions directly to the Buyer or provide them with a link where they can be accessed.

The Product under warranty will be either exchanged or repaired depending on what the manufacturer sees fit.

9.3 Implementing warranties

In the event of delivery of a Product that does not correspond to the order (damaged or non-compliant), complaints must be sent as soon as possible to PROBIKESHOP's Customer Services (hereinafter referred to as "Customer Services"), under the methods defined in Article 13 of the GTCS.

For any complaint, the Buyer must send PROBIKESHOP their contact details, the Product details and any information justifying the subject of their complaint. In doing so, PROBIKESHOP may also ask the Buyer to send through any necessary photographs and explanations to speed up the processing of their complaint.

To help with the speed and efficiency of complaint processing, the Buyer will be assigned a return number.

In the event that a Product is returned without prior allocation of a return number, PROBIKESHOP cannot guarantee rapid processing of the claim.

The Product must be returned in its original condition and, if possible, in its original packaging, even if partially altered, with all its accessories, if any. Any additional elements allowing the complaint to be processed quickly must also be attached in the return parcel. In the event of Product depreciation resulting from any inappropriate handling of the product for its purpose, characteristics and proper functioning, PROBIKESHOP reserves the right to make any reservations on the claim.

PROBIKESHOP is responsible for the costs of returning the non-conforming Product, except in the case where the returned or exchanged Product does not correspond to the original declaration made by the Buyer.

The Products offered by PROBIKESHOP comply with current French legislation.

In accordance with Article L. 221-15 of the Consumer Code, PROBIKESHOP cannot be held liable for the non-performance of the contract when it is due to the Buyer's actions, fortuitous reasons or in the event of force majeure as defined in Article 1218 of the Civil Code.
