Your order constitutes an offer by you to us to buy a Product.

The contract (“Contract”) between us will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation and will only relate to those Products for which dispatch has been confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

The cancellation period (“Cancellation Period”) will expire 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the goods.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us (VeloKicks) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail). This letter should be sent to us either by email to admin@velokicks.cc or by post to PO Box 169, Leopold, Victoria, 3224, for the attention of Online Customer Service team. To meet the cancellation deadline it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of your right of cancellation before the Cancellation Period has expired.

Once one of our customer service team members receives your email they will contact you with the relevant information on where to send your Products.

You must send back the Products to us in their original condition with the appropriate purchasing documentation, without undue delay, and in any event not later than 21 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this Contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the Products before the period of 21 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the Products and/or losses/restocking fees incurred by VeloKicks (for example, costs associated with the commencement of a custom project).

6. Returns policy

In addition to your right to cancel, you can return unwashed and unworn Products bought on this Website by mail within 21 days of your order date. All exchanges will need an email to us to confirm returns address.

Please send back your Products to us in their original condition and unworn condition, in the original packaging with all tags still attached with the appropriate purchasing documentation. Failure to do this may result in delays in processing any exchange or refund.

All costs associated with the return of goods are the sole responsibility of the customer except in the case that the Product is defective. Defects will be assessed on a per case basis but will not apply to situations where damage relates to fair and reasonable use or wear and tear on the Product.

We will withhold reimbursement/exchange/replacement until we have received the return goods. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to ensure the returned goods arrive back with VeloKicks. Any returned goods, even if lost by the return shipping party, remain the responsibility of the customer. VeloKicks bears no obligation should returning goods not make it to us.

Custom Products will have every effort made to ensure the ideal fit. Should an issue arise and the custom Product deemed unsuitable by the customer a re-stocking fee of 50% will apply in the event a return is requested. The cost of a replacement pair to then be negotiated between the Customer and VeloKicks.

Sale (read: discounted) Product purchases are final. Only store credit or exchange is available on these purchases - with any cost difference (and postage costs) to be paid by the customer.

7. Refunds policy

If you cancel this Contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, excluding excluding a 15% re-stocking fee. All refunds will need an email to us to confirm returns address.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in the value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary and inappropriate handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay and in any event not later than 30 days from the day on which we have received and assessed the returned good.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

If you return a Product for any other reason, we shall examine the Product and notify you of your refund via email or exchange within a reasonable period.

Products returned as a result of a defect with be either replaced or refunded in full, including delivery charges for sending them to you and the cost incurred by you in returning them to us.

We will refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

It is the customers responsibility to pay all local duties and taxes. You may be contacted by the courier to settle any amounts. Refusal to do so, and the resulting return to sender of goods will result in a deduction of the refund amount to the value of the freight and handling costs in addition to the standard re-stocking fee of 15% of the cost of goods (ex any additional shipping that was purchased).

Warranty on the Product is for a period of 12 months from date of delivery. Warranty on dials for a manufacturer defect is 12 months from date of delivery. Reasonable 'wear and tear' is factored in for warranty assessment. A failure when evidence of a crash or subject to conditions outside of a reasonable range will not be considered grounds for immediate warranty replacement.

Custom Products will have every effort made to ensure the ideal fit. Should an issue arise and the Product deemed unsuitable by the customer we will be unable to issue a refund given the very personalised nature of each custom project (read: will be next to impossible for VeloKicks to re-sell).

Sale (read: discounted) Product purchases are final. Only store credit or exchange is available on these purchases - with any cost difference (and postage costs) to be paid by the customer.

For orders of multiple sizes (for the purpose of "trying them on") there is a 15% restock fee in order to cover merchant fees and the processing/re-stocking of the items. Our online sizing chart - and associated email support - is what we recommend to utilise instead of ordering a run of sizes.

All orders refunded due to improper use of private (read: app scraped) discount codes will be less our merchant and processing fees. All exchanges that are requested in the event that an improper code discount makes it through will be entirely at the cost of the buyer.

8. Availability and delivery

Delivery times may vary. However, we aim to deliver your Products within 5 to 15 business days to any given location. We will be open with our communication where these timelines cannot be met. All deliveries can be tracked online and this tracking information will be sent to you once your Products have left our warehouse.

If you require your items to ensure a signature is provided at delivery then it is the responsibility of the purchaser to select express delivery to ensure this requirement is met by the postal service. Due to the varying shipping terms on regular delivery, we cannot ensure a signature will be required with a standard delivery. VeloKicks bears no responsibility for packages once delivered.

If you order multiple items, these may be dispatched in separate packages and may arrive at different times. If this occurs, please wait an extra day for the remaining Products to arrive before contacting Customer Service with a delivery enquiry.

It is your responsibility to ensure correct delivery details are provided. We are not responsible for reshipping orders at our expense if incorrect details are provided (this includes to countries that having shipping restrictions placed on them). Delivery shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address that you gave us and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.

Local duties and taxes are the responsibility of the customer.

If the Product(s) are not delivered within 30 days of the Dispatch Acknowledgement, then you may cancel your order straight away if any of the following apply:

(a) we have refused to deliver the Products;

(b) delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

9. Risk and title

The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery. Ownership of the Products will only pass to you from the time of payment.

Risk in relation to Products being returned to us passes from you to us once we have received the returned Products.

If you do not pay for any Products on the due date, VeloKicks is irrevocably authorised by you to enter your premises (or any premises under your control or as your agent if the Products are stored at other premises) and use reasonable force to take possession of the Products without liability for the tort of trespass, negligence or payment of any compensation to you or anyone claiming through you whatsoever.

If any of the Products are not paid for in full by the due date, you must not allow any person to create, have or acquire any security interest in the Products.

10. Price and payment

The price of any Products will be as quoted on our website in Australian dollars from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

These prices include GST where the sale is made to an Australian based customer, shipping charges attract additional charges as will be disclosed at the checkout. Local duties and taxes for shipments outside Australia are the responsibility of the customer.

Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent a dispatch confirmation.

It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products that we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where the products correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the products to you. If the Products correct price is higher than the price stated on our website, we will either contact you for your instructions before shipping the product or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable, the result of a 'double discount being incorrectly applied or through the use of an app scraped private discount code - and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing - we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

In order to process your order, we will need to share your payment details with third party service providers. This will be done in accordance with our privacy policy. By providing us with this information, you specifically authorise us to do this.

You must make payment for Products in advance by credit or debit card, PayPal or a form of secure payment we recognise. We will not dispatch the Products to you until your payment for the Products purchased is approved.

Dispatch of products are also subject to our discretion and that of our carrying partners. If they are unable to dispatch good to your location then you will be notified and a full refund will be provided.

The only discounts on sale items will be those provided exclusively by VeloKicks - otherwise no further discounts will apply. Retrospective discounts (in the event of an item coming on sale after a full price purchase) is also not provided for.

Only one promotional discount - when on offer - is permitted to be applied per transaction. In there event two are running, application of discount/promotion will be determined by whatever is inputted by the customer at time of purchase.
