Given the right conditions, it is possible to get less than the expected minimum range or greater than the expected maximum range.

You acknowledge that if you do not provide BICI with current and accurate contact information, BICI may not be able to contact you.

GOVERNING LAW

 

These Terms and any disputes between you and BICI Italia will be governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia Canada, without regard to conflicts of laws.

 

1. GENERAL. Section titles are only for convenience and have no legal or contractual significance. Any list of examples following “including” or “e.g.,” is illustrative and not exhaustive, unless qualified by terms like “only” or “solely.” BICI’s failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive its rights to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. A waiver will only be binding on BICI Italia if it is in a written document signed by BICI. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining terms, covenants and restrictions will remain in full force and effect. You and BICI intend that the provisions of these Terms be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, you and RPB agree that if any provision is deemed unenforceable, where possible, it will be modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, which may include its deletion. BICI may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice to you, and these Terms will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of BICI Italia successors and assigns. BICI shall have the right to assign these Terms, at its sole discretion, without notice to you. You may not assign, transfer or sublicense your rights (if any). These Terms (including any incorporated terms) and any Additional Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and  BICI with respect to the Site. Both you and BICI warrant to each other that, in entering this agreement, neither RPB nor you have relied on nor will have any right or remedy based upon any statement, representation, warranty, or assurance other than those expressly stated in these Terms (including any incorporated terms) and any Additional Terms. The preceding sentence will not limit or exclude any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. No one other than you and BICI Italia , or BICI’s successors and assigns, will have any right to enforce these Terms.

2. WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE MEANS TO US. 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.

3. HOW TO CONTACT BICI Italia. If you have any questions or comments regarding these Terms, you may contact BICI Italia  by any of the methods available on our website at www.bicielectricbikes.com or by mail at the following address: # 4805-1480 Howe Street Vancouver, BC, V6Z 0G5, Canada .
