We promote several of our products via crowdfunding platforms such as Indiegogo. When you choose to back any one of our campaigns on a crowdfunding platform, you also accept the platform’s terms and conditions, including the terms of payment and cancellation.

When you support one of our crowdfunding campaigns by paying a certain amount, the crowdfunding platform charges a transaction fee, which will be non-refundable. Such a fee is regarded as a third-party payment fee. At present the transaction fee at the Indiegogo platform is 8%* of the total amount.

If you choose to back any of our crowdfunding campaigns, the payment terms are regulated by the relevant crowdfunding platform.

*The amount of the refund fee can be changed without notice.

You agree that the purchase performed is a pre-order and could be subject to a delivery lead-time of 90-120 days or possibly substantially more depending on market conditions and uncertainties in today’s supply chain that are out of MATE.BIKE’s control.

MATE.BIKE will do its best to keep you informed of the probable delivery of your order as information becomes available. It is our goal to deliver quality bikes as quickly as possible, and we constantly work with our suppliers, factories, and shipping companies to improve delivery time.

If you choose to purchase a product or service, you must designate and provide information about preferred payment methods (e.g., credit card, online payment service or any other payment method made available by MATE.BIKE).

Items exempted from the right of withdrawal:

• Special orders : any product subject to individual modifications that gives the item a unique unrepeatable character.
• Gift cards

You are allowed to test the item in the same way they would in a store (to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods)  but you are not entitled to put the product in real use.

Upon receipt of returned goods, MATE.BIKE will inspect the condition of the returned item based on its possible resale value and will calculate any loss of value to the returned item.

If the product’s value is diminished  by the wrongful or excessive testing you can only get part of, or none of, the price reimbursed, depending on the commercial value of the product.

We recommend returning the item in the original packaging. If the original packaging is missing, it may result in a depreciation of the item value. Specifically, when returning bicycles and batteries in non-original packaging, there is a greater risk that the bicycle parts will be damaged and/or impaired.

MATE.BIKE does not receive packages that are not delivered to our premises (i.e. shipments to central postal offices are not accepted) or packages sent per cash on delivery or similar.

If you cancel your purchase, you will get your money back. In the event of a diminished value for which you are responsible, this amount will be deducted.

If you are using your right of cancellation, we will refund your money within 14 days from the date on which we have received the returned goods.

We will make the reimbursement to the same means of payment, which you used for the original transaction, unless we have agreed otherwise.

If the complaint is justified, this means that you can get either the product repaired, exchanged, money back, or have a reduction of the price, depending on the specific situation.

You must notify MATE.BIKE within “reasonable time” after the discovery of the defect. If we receive a notification within two months after the defect has been found, the complaint is regarded to be timely.

If the complaint is justified, and MATE.BIKE accepts the product for return, we will refund you (reasonable) delivery costs. The goods must always be returned in proper packaging. Before a refund is made MATE.BIKE will require you a receipt for shipping costs before issuing a refund.
