Consumer Purchase Terms and Conditions
Rad Power Bikes Inc.
Last updated March 23, 2023
These Consumer Purchase Terms and Conditions (the ”Terms”) apply to all consumer purchases of any model of Rad Power Bikes (“RPB”, “us” or “we”) electric bikes, electric tricycles and other electric transport offered by RPB in the European Union and the United Kingdom (collectively “ebike(s)”) and/or related accessories or other products offered by RPB (collectively with ebikes, the “Products”) in the Netherlands. By purchasing any Products from Rad Power Bikes, whether online or at our showroom, you agree to these Terms in their entirety.
1. Application
These Terms apply to your purchase of the Products and use of the ebikes. Other interactions that you have with Rad Power Bikes are subject to other agreements, including the following:
- Limited Warranty Terms (https://radpowerbikes.eu/pages/warranty)
- Terms of Use (https://radpowerbikes.eu/pages/terms-of-use)
- Privacy Policy (https://radpowerbikes.eu/pages/privacy-policy)
- Owner’s Manual (https://radpowerbikes.eu/pages/owner-tools)
2. Ebike Online, In-Store and Mobile Demo Orders
In the event you are purchasing an ebike (i) by ordering online, (ii) in an RPB retail store (as opposed to a direct purchase in store of in-stock item), or (iii) through our “RPB Mobile demo program”, your order of an ebike is an offer to buy. RPB will send you an email confirming our receipt of your order. RPB has accepted your order upon shipment of the ebike. We reserve the right at any time, even after we send you a confirmation email, to decline or cancel your order or to limit order quantities for any reason, including errors or suspected fraud. We will provide a full refund of any advance payments that we may have received from you.
Special Offers, Discount Codes, and Promotions
RPB reserves the right to put limitations on the combining, stacking, and use of any and all RPB promotions done via the website, email, social media, or any other channels where RPB promotions are detailed and/or distributed. RPB reserves the right to pause all promotions, codes, and referral programs for sales and for all new Product launches. Any and all promo codes (i) must be used at time of purchase, (ii) cannot be used retroactively, (iii) cannot be stacked, (iv) cannot be used in tandem, etc. Any Product returned with an order that used a promo code, will have the discount code value subtracted from the refund value.
3. REFER A FRIEND PROGRAM TERMS/LIMITATIONS
To qualify for a gift card, the referred person must (i) be a new customer, (ii) provide the name of the referring individual at time of purchase, (iii) make a purchase on www.radpowerbikes.eu in an amount greater than the minimum amount specified in the referral offer, and (iv) not use any other active promotion or discount on their purchase. Referring customers will receive a referral gift card after the referral is confirmed and the referral credit is approved by a customer service member. Customers are limited to referring two (2) people per household. Referring customers may only earn one (1) referral credit per referred person. In the event a referred person returns a purchased Product and their lifetime order value decreases below the minimum purchase amount, the referral credit awarded to the referring customer will be rescinded. Customers may not refer anyone who has an existing www.radpowerbikes.eu account under an alternate email address.
Any abuse of this offer, as determined by us in our sole discretion, may result in the rescission of (i) the referring customer's referral credit, (ii) the referred person's promo code; and (iii) both parties' ability to participate in this or future promotions. Referral credit cannot be applied to previous purchases and is not redeemable for cash. This referral program is subject to modification or termination at any time without notice in our sole discretion.

7. Ebike Performance
Please note that information regarding the expected range on a single charge on one of our ebikes is an estimate, not a guarantee. There are many factors that contribute to actual, real-world range for an ebike battery such as age of the battery, temperature, level of assist, speed, payload, and terrain. Given the right conditions, it is possible to get less than the expected minimum range or greater than the expected maximum range. Any alterations, modifications, or other changes made by you to an ebike following your purchase which affect the safety, operation, or mechanics of the ebike shall void the Limited Warranty and shall be at your sole risk of harm.
RPB warrants that the Products shall:
- conform to the description of the Products given on its website (RPB reserves the right to use substitute parts, material, or equipment of equivalent quality and value that meet RPB’s strict standards); and
- be of satisfactory quality, free from defects in materials and workmanship and fit for its intended purpose.
8. Price
The price of the Products:
- is the price indicated on the order pages when you submitted your order;
- is in EURO (€) (EUR);
- includes VAT at the applicable rate for Products shipped within the European Union;
- does not include VAT and Duties for Products shipped to Norway, Iceland, and Switzerland; and
- does not include the cost of delivering the Products (if you want delivery options and costs, visit the "Shipping” page on the website).
9. Payments
In accordance with the Orders section above, payments may be declined or returned to you, in RPB’s sole discretion for any reason or no reason at all. If we accept a pre-order of a Product, your account, credit card, or other payment mechanism will be charged upon approval by RPB, regardless of when your purchase is expected to ship. If any credit card chargeback of any amount is issued on an order, the applicable Limited Warranty for that order will be paused until the chargeback has been resolved.
- Financing. For qualified purchasers, ebikes may be financed through RPB’s consumer financing partners. The necessary qualifications for financing an ebike purchase, and your rights and obligations associated with such purchase, are solely determined by the consumer financing partner. It is your responsibility to review and understand all terms and conditions associated with financing an ebike purchase, and you hereby acknowledge that RPB is no way responsible for any such financing

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold RPB and its directors, officers, employees, agents, members, partners, suppliers, and licensors harmless and will keep them indemnified from any third-party claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, relating to or arising from: (a) your purchase or use of any Products; (b) any violation by you of these Terms; or (c) your violation of another party’s rights or applicable law.

RPB shall have the right to assign these Terms, at its sole discretion, without notice to you, as long as the performance of the Agreement by us is not affected.
13. Amendments
We may need to amend these Terms from time to time for example, because of an update to the law. A copy of the latest version of the Terms can be found on our website.
14. Survival and Severability
If any part or provision of these Terms is held to be void, unenforceable or in conflict with applicable law, such part or provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any terms which by their nature are intended to survive the Term shall be deemed to survive any termination or expiration.

- These Terms and any disputes between you and RPB shall be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands, excluding its rules on conflicts of laws, unless, if you reside in the EU or the UK, statutory consumer protection regulations in your country of residence contain provisions that may not be derogated from and that are more beneficial for you, in which case those provisions may apply. The Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods of 1980 (CISG) shall not apply.
- Disputes may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/odr/
- You may bring judicial proceedings relating to these Terms before a competent Dutch court. If you are a consumer and reside in the European Union, you may also bring judicial proceedings relating to the Terms before the competent court of your country of residence. If you reside in the European Union, we may only bring judicial proceedings against you in your country of residence, unless you are acting as a business in which case you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Dutch courts.
18. R-E-S-P-E-C-T Find Out What It Means To Us (hint: a lot!)
We pride ourselves in being nothing but respectful, kind, patient, friendly, and all other pleasant terms that could fit in the mix, and it is critical that those things are returned to our team by customers. We understand that oftentimes when you call/email customer support, it is because something has gone wrong or there is an issue with your purchase (which is the worst!). We also understand that these potential issues cause frustration and sometimes anger; however, we will NOT tolerate rude/vulgar language towards our staff. We will offer a warning if this occurs, after which we do reserve the right to refuse service, terminate your account, issue refunds, void warranties, or cancel orders, each at our sole discretion. If this decision is made it is final and cannot be undone.
