RIGHT TO RETRACT

In accordance with legal rights, as part of a purchase made from a Professional Seller, the Buyer has a period of fourteen (14) days from the receipt of the Item(s) to notify, to the Seller, his right to retract.

The withdrawal period runs from the delivery date of the Item(s) to the delivery address indicated by the Buyer, and in the absence of the receiver, from the date of first presentation of the package containing the Item(s). If a delivery to a Pickup point has been chosen, the withdrawal period runs from the day on which the Buyer is informed by e-mail and/or SMS of the delivery of his order in that Pickup point.

To exercise his right to retract, the Buyer must complete the form found in "My Account" section "My orders" click on "View order" on the line of the order concerned and then click on "Return request". By clicking on "Validate" the Buyer confirms his wish to exercise his right to retract on the ticked Item(s). When the Buyer clicks on "Validate" the Seller receives the request and will contact the Buyer to indicate the procedure to follow. The date on which the Buyer validates the return form will be the one chosen to respect the fourteen (14) day period of the right to retract.

The Buyer will have a period of fourteen (14) days following the confirmation of the Seller to return the Item(s). The Item(s) will be returned directly to the Seller whose contact details you can find in the "Contact" section or on the order form.

If the right to retract has been exercised within 14 days, only the price of the Item(s) purchased(s) and shipping costs will be refunded, the cost of return remaining the responsibility of the Buyer. In case of partial return of an order, the Seller will reimburse the Buyer for the amount of the shipping costs (one way) in proportion to the amount of shipping costs attributable to the relevant Item(s). The Seller is not obliged to refund the additional costs if the Buyer has expressly chosen a more expensive method of delivery than the standard delivery method proposed.

Attention, in the absence of parcel tracking and proof of delivery, if the returned parcel does not reach the Seller there will be no appeal. Also if no additional insurance is taken with the courier they will only compensate for the legal scale.

When returning, it is recommended to over-pack the original packaging of the Item(s), because only the Item(s) returned in their entirety (packaging, accessories, warranty coupons, manuals, covers, covers, protections, etc ...), with their original packaging, can be taken back. The return must be accompanied by a duplicate invoice. The refund or exchange assumes that the Item(s) has not been damaged or has not been returned incomplete. In the event that the Item(s) has arrived unpackaged or damaged to the Seller, he reserves the right to return it as it is.

A 25% restocking fee will apply to all returns on special order items, excluding errors on our part.

However, the cancelation right does not apply on electronic items which have been unsealed.

In accordance to legal rights, the Seller is obliged to refund at the latest within fourteen (14) days following the date on which this right was exercised, by the same payment method used for the order. This refund date may be deferred until the Item(s) is/are retrieved or until the Buyer has provided the Seller with proof of the return.

GUARANTEE

All the Items presented on www.bike-parts-ducati.com are covered by the legal guarantees of conformity and latent defects.

Where applicable, details of manufacturer’s guarantees or service arrangements will be provided with the Item(s). A manufacturer’s guarantee is in addition to, and does not affect, the legal rights in relation to Items that are faulty or not as described.

All guarantees are non-transferable and only apply for the original Buyer. Please note that, if the Item(s) is/are replaced during the guarantee period, the guarantee does not start again. The Item(s) will only benefit from the remaining period of the original guarantee. This does not affect the statutory rights if the Item(s) is/are faulty or not as described.

The Sellers are under a legal duty to supply goods that are in conformity with the contract.

If the guaranteed Item is already mounted on the vehicle and appears to have caused other malfunctions that have resulted in additional charges, the Buyer must contact the Seller and not disassemble the relevant Item.

The guarantee does not cover:

- Normal wear of the Item (variable depending on the nature of the Item)

- Defects and their consequences related to a Buyer error resulting from a use or installation not conforming to DUCATI specifications or from storage harmful to the good conservation of the Item

- Defects and their consequences related to the abnormal use of the vehicle on which the Item was mounted or not in accordance with the purpose for which it is intended (use of the vehicle on which the Item is mounted for the competition ...)

- Damage resulting from an external cause (accident, lightning, fluctuation of current ...)

In all these cases the Seller cannot be held responsible for the defect of the Item and any damage caused.

The guarantee is subject to expertise of the cause of non-compliance or defect invoked. Depending on the situation, this analysis will be carried out with DUCATI (disassembled and returned) or by an expert appointed by the Seller.

If all of the terms and conditions of the guarantee are met, the Seller will refund, replace or repair the Item without charge within a maximum of one month.

SHIPPING & DELIVERY

The Buyer can follow the progress of his order at any time in his account in the "My orders" section and will also receive an email at each stage.

Parcels are shipped with different carriers depending on the choice of the Seller, the size and weight of the package, the country of delivery, etc. The Buyer will receive an e-mail, on the day their order is dispatched, with the tracking number and the link to the carrier’s website so that they can track the parcel. This information will also appear in "My Account".

Shipping cost:

Shipping costs depend on the order, the size of the parcel, the weight, the carrier and the country where it is delivered. Shipping costs appear at any time in the basket and are automatically updated when an Item is added.

Additional shipping costs may be requested if the size or weight of the parcel exceeds the maximum limit. In this case, the Buyer will be informed by e-mail as soon as possible. The Buyer has the right to accept or refuse to pay these additional shipping costs. If the Buyer does not wish to pay additional shipping costs, the sales contract will be broken and the order will be canceled. The Buyer will therefore be reimbursed for the total amount of his order.

Delivery time:

Once the Buyer has completed and paid for his order on www.bike-parts-ducati.com, processing will take between 1 and 3 working days.

The delivery time in United Kingdom is, on average, 5 to 10 working days for the Item(s) ordered. Delivery to other countries depends on the couriers.

If an Item is not available from DUCATI, an estimate of the delivery date will be communicated to the Buyer by email as soon as the Seller has the information. The Seller is not responsible for the delay of the Item which is not in stock at DUCATI. The quantity indicated does not mean that the Item is available.

Please note that there are no deliveries on Sundays and public holidays.

If Items in the same order have different delivery times, they will be shipped together. The delivery time is determined by the ordered Item with the longest delivery time.

Choice of delivery:

The Buyer has the option of choosing delivery from a Pick-up point when placing the order if the Seller offers this option. The Buyer must have a valid identity document to be able to collect his parcel at the Pick-up point.

The Buyer has 10 working days to collect his parcel. After this period, in case of return of the parcel to the Seller, the Buyer will be reimbursed the amount of the order, minus the costs of processing and sending the parcel both ways.

Checking the package upon receipt:

The delivery of the parcel can be made in a Pickup point against signature, at home in person (with or without signature) or directly in the mailbox of the Buyer.

Whatever the method of delivery of the parcel, the Buyer is held to check the state of the packaging as well as the contents of the parcel (damaged parcel, missing items, broken part etc.).

When the parcel is delivered against signature, the Buyer must note his reservations on the delivery slip and have the carrier or the Pickup point sign also (keep a duplicate of the document), and/or, if necessary, refuse the package.

If the parcel is delivered without signature, the Buyer must send his reservations to the carrier by registered mail, at the latest within three (3) working days of receipt of the package. In addition to this step, the Buyer must inform the Seller of the problem encountered as soon as possible.

After this period, the delivery will be deemed complete and the Item(s) delivered will be deemed free from any apparent defect. Consequently, the Seller will no longer accept any complaints due to missing items, damaged packages, broken parts, etc.

Of course, the Buyer retains the guarantee of conformity and hidden defects for malfunctions that would appear in use and that the Buyer could not detect at the time of delivery.

SHIPPING TO COUNTRIES NOT SUBJECT TO VAT

Bike-parts-ducati.com has no influence on the amount of customs duties or taxes to be paid in the country of delivery. None of these taxes are included in the total amount of the order. These taxes will be invoiced to the Buyer only at the time of the importation of the goods in the country of delivery and the Buyer will have to pay them upon receipt of the parcel.
