17. SECURITY AND PRIVACY

Rene Herse Group values its customers and respects their privacy. We collect customer information in an effort to improve your shopping experience and to communicate with you about our products, services, contests, and promotions. Rene Herse Group recognizes that it must maintain and use customer information responsibly. We do not sell or rent the information you provide to us online to third parties. However, we may share your information with third parties under certain circumstances.

This policy describes the personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it and when we share it with third parties. Our policy also describes the choices you can make about how we collect and use your information. If you have any questions about our privacy policy, write us at Rene Herse Cycles Ltd, 2442 NW Market St. #426, Seattle, WA, 98107, USA.

WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION DOES RENE HERSE GROUP COLLECT?

We collect information (such as your name, email address, mailing address, and phone and credit card numbers) that you provide when you place an order, save your information with us, or participate in a contest, promotion or survey. We also maintain a record of your product interests and your purchases online and in our stores. We may acquire customer names, email addresses and mailing addresses for select mailings from third parties. We do not, however, retain your credit card information once the purchase transaction is completed.

HOW DOES RENE HERSE GROUP USE MY INFORMATION?

When you make an online purchase from Rene Herse Group, we use your information to process your order. We may also send you email to confirm your order, and we may need to contact you via phone, postal mail or email if we require additional information to process your order. We may also pass your information on to the shipping company that delivers your order. In addition, upon making an online purchase, you may be given the option to elect to receive email updates about our products, services, contests, and promotions. If you make a purchase online or over the phone, we may also send you notices about our products, services, contests and promotions through postal mail.

When you provide your information to Rene Herse Group, and do not elect otherwise, you may be automatically signed up to receive email updates. If you participate in a contest or promotion (online or over the phone, or at one of our distributor’s retail stores), you may choose to receive email updates about our products, services, contests, and promotions.

From time to time, we may send you email to help us learn more about your shopping preferences. In addition, we may use information about your product interests and purchases to help us improve our Site design and your shopping experience.

To serve you better, we may combine information you give us online and in our stores as well as information about your product interests and purchases. In addition, we may combine information you provide with demographic information that is publicly available. We use this combined information to enhance and personalize your shopping experience with us, and to communicate with you by email or postal mail about our products, services, contests, and promotions that may be of interest to you.

DOES RENE HERSE GROUP SHARE MY INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES?

We may contract with third parties to assist us in maintaining and managing our customer information to fulfill promotions and to communicate with our customers. We do not authorize any of those third parties to make any other use of your information.

In addition, when we team up with another company to offer or provide products, services, contests or promotions, we and the other company may cross-reference our customer databases to identify common customers. We and the other company may use that existing information to identify future promotional opportunities and to fulfill promotional or contractual obligations.

When we offer contests and promotions, or join with other companies to do so, customers who choose to participate in those contests and promotions may be asked to provide personal information to participate. That information may then be used by us and any company offering the contest or promotion to notify winners or to fulfill promotional obligations. If you choose to participate in a contest or promotion, you may receive information from or about Rene Herse Group in connection with that contest or promotion, even if you had previously opted not to receive information from Rene Herse Group. You may opt not to participate in these contests or promotions if you do not want to receive information about Rene Herse Group or share your information with us and the other companies sponsoring those contests or promotions.

We also may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information about you (such as age, gender, and types of products purchased) with our business partners to fulfill our contractual obligations. Except as described above, we do not share, rent or sell any information we collect online to any unaffiliated third party. In other words, we do not sell or rent out our mailing lists.

HOW DO I CHANGE OR REMOVE MY INFORMATION FROM EMAIL, PHONE, AND POSTAL MAILING LISTS?

We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. If you prefer not to receive information from us, either through email, postal mail or by phone, or if you do not want us to use your information to enhance your shopping experience, please let us know by contacting Rene Herse Group customer service. Please be sure to include your email address, full name and password, if any in your request. Please note that such requests may take up to eight weeks to become effective.

If you ask us to remove your name and address from our email or postal mailing lists, we will maintain your name in a “do not mail” file to ensure that we can honor your request. If you have previously asked to be removed from our email list, we will not sign you up for email updates using that specific email address if you place an order over the Internet. Please note that when you make a purchase, we will send you email to confirm your order and may also need to contact you via phone, postal mail or email if we have other questions regarding your order.

HOW DOES RENE HERSE GROUP PROTECT CHILDREN’S PRIVACY?

Like you, we at Rene Herse Group are concerned about the safety of children using the Internet. Consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that a subscriber is under the age of 13 and has signed up without prior verifiable parental consent, we will remove his or her personally identifiable information from our files.

WHAT ARE COOKIES? HOW DOES RENE HERSE GROUP USE COOKIES ON ITS SITE?

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes and to help “personalize” your visit to the Site. Cookies make web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you’re at our Site. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard – you’ll find them at most websites.

By showing how and when guests use the Site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the Site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our users’ needs.

Rene Herse Group has two primary uses for its cookies. We use them to specify unique preferences. For example, users can specify keywords across several categories. This way you don’t have to tell us more than once about the kinds of information you want to see. We also use cookies to track user trends and patterns. This helps us better understand and improve areas of the Rene Herse Group network service that our users find valuable. Information from cookies is sometimes attached to messages sent to our Customer Service department.

Visitors to the Site always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of the Site will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized news preferences or you may have difficulty completing shopping transactions, entering contests, or playing games. If you turn off cookies, we will not be able to track your order or enable you to make a purchase from our Site. Nor will we be able to recognize you as a registered user to allow you access to your account information.

WHAT ABOUT LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES AND SERVICES?

This Site may contain links to other sites that are not under our control. These websites have their own policies regarding privacy, which you should review before visiting them. We have no responsibility for linked websites and provide these links solely for the convenience and information of our visitors.

TERMS OF SALE

Last Modified: May 2023

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASING FROM THIS SITE.

1. PRICING

All prices are shown in U.S. dollars (USD). Taxes, shipping and handling charges are additional. All items are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order, to reject all or part of an order, and to discontinue products or services without notice, even if you have already placed your order. All prices are subject to change without notice and you agree that taxes may be adjusted from the amount shown on the billing screens. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates.

2. PRODUCT AVAILABILITY

Items shown as available are in stock and will usually ship within 72 hours. In some cases, it can take longer until your item is shipped. We appreciate your understanding. Items shown as out of stock may be backordered in some instances.

3. ERRORS

We attempt to be as accurate as possible and eliminate errors on the Site; however, we do not warrant that any product, service, description, photograph, pricing or other information is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. In the event of an error, whether on the Site, in an order confirmation, in processing an order, delivering a product or service, or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly if necessary (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged. Your sole remedy in the event of such error is to cancel your order and obtain a refund.

4. AGREEMENT TO CONDUCT TRANSACTIONS ELECTRONICALLY; RECORDING; COPIES

You agree that all of your transactions with or through the Site may, at our option, be conducted electronically from start to finish, and that any oral conversations may be recorded. If we decide to proceed non-electronically, those transactions will still be governed by the remainder of these terms unless you enter into different terms provided by us. You are responsible to print or make an electronic a copy of these terms and any other contract or disclosure that we are required to provide to you.

5. PAYMENT AND ORDER ACCEPTANCE

We accept the following payment types on our Site: Visa, Mastercard, Paypal and check.

Payments for all orders are taken on ordering of the goods, and are subject to checks for fraud and other issues by the card issuer. By submitting your order on our Site, you are confirming that the credit/debit card is yours or that you have authority from the cardholder to make the payment. We reserve the right to refuse payments and orders for customers who are not 18 years of age or older. Your payment will be securely processed by our third-party payment system, which will store any credit card information on its secure servers. (For your security, Rene Herse Group does not retain complete credit card data.)

Your payment and order will be deemed final only when final payment is taken on dispatch of your goods. We reserve the right to refuse any payments or cancel orders at our own discretion.

6. GIFT VOUCHERS AND E-VOUCHERS

Rene Herse Group may issue gift certificates, vouchers and e-vouchers (“Vouchers”). Vouchers must be redeemed within the time period set forth on the Voucher or, if no time period is set, within a maximum of twelve months from purchase or issuance of the Voucher, and any unused balance will not be refunded or credited after such time. Please look after your Vouchers, as we are unable to replace them if they are lost, stolen or damaged.

7. CREDIT CARD PURCHASES

At Rene Herse Group we do our best to provide a safe and convenient online shopping experience. Upon completion of a purchase on this Site using a credit card, Rene Herse Group does not retain your credit card information for future use. If unauthorized use of your credit or debit card does occur, you must first notify your card provider, in accordance with the agreement you have with the card provider company.

8. SHIPPING AND HANDLING; TRACKING; NO EXPORT BY YOU

When we ship to you per your directions, you agree to pay the shipping and any handling charges shown on the Site when your order is placed. We reserve the right to increase, decrease and add or eliminate charges from time to time and without prior notice, so you agree to check all charges before placing an order. We attempt to charge only actual costs for shipping, but due to many factors, any shipping or handling charges may or may not reflect actual costs. All orders are shipment contracts, not destination contracts. If you choose expedited shipping for your order, we will try to prioritize packing and shipping your order, but we cannot guarantee this. You are paying for expedited shipping, not expedited packing. Any shipping times shown on the Site are estimates only – actual delivery dates may vary.

Products are deemed delivered, and you are deemed to take possession, when tracking information shows them as delivered for U.S. addresses. At this point, the responsibility of Rene Herse Group for your shipment ends. Please use a delivery location that is secure. If you are concerned about the security of your order, please select a shipping method that requires a signature. If your order is lost while in transit to a U.S. address, Rene Herse Group will replace or refund it at our discretion. If your order is lost or stolen after you are deemed to have taken possession, please contact your local post office and/or police department to report the theft from your premises. 

For international orders sent via the U.S. Postal Service, the responsibility of Rene Herse Group ends when tracking shows that the order is in the hands of the shipping company. For international orders, it is your responsibility to select a shipping method that is reliable to and in your country. We are sorry, but we cannot take responsibility for the mail services of foreign countries.

Rene Herse Group is not responsible for import fees, taxes, VAT, custom’s duties, tariffs or any other fees charged in association with importing international shipments. These fees are not in our control, and they can be significant – please inform yourself about the charges in your country before placing an order.

Claims for shipping damage must be filed within 3 (three) days of receipt of the package, as shown by the tracking information.

You agree that you will not obtain or direct any shipment of product for export (except to your country of residence).

9. CANCELING AN ORDER

If you have any concerns about an order you have already placed, please contact Rene Herse Group via the Support menu on our web site. If your order hasn’t shipped yet, we can cancel it. However, we cannot guarantee that we’ll see your message before your order is shipped, even if you submit the form immediately. There is a 5% fee to cover the credit card/Paypal fees, which are not refunded by the credit card companies/Paypal. If your order cannot be canceled, you may return the items for an exchange or refund in accordance with our return policy set forth below.

10. RETURNS AND EXCHANGES

If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase made on this Site, you may return it for an exchange or refund in accordance with our return policy. In order to initiate a return, you must contact Rene Herse Group within thirty (30) days of receipt of your order and obtain a return authorization number (RA). No RA will be issued after such 30 day period and no returns will be accepted without a RA. You must ship the item to Rene Herse Group within thirty (30) days of receipt of the RA. You are responsible for all shipping costs and are encouraged to insure your package. There is a 5% restock fee to cover the credit card/Paypal fees, which are not refunded by the credit card companies/Paypal.

All items being returned must be in new condition, never assembled, installed, or used, and in the original packaging with all manufacturer packaging. Items with sealed packaging that has been opened cannot be returned. We reserve the right to refuse refunds for returned items which are not in saleable condition or, at our discretion, to charge a 25% re-stocking fee. The same applies to items that are returned without a Return Authorization. Returns are only accepted for items purchased directly from this Site. If you have purchased your item from a Rene Herse Group dealer, you should return the item directly to the dealer where the item was purchased.

After we have received your valid return, we will provide one of the following within a reasonable time, at our discretion: an exchange of merchandise for the item returned; a non-transferable merchandise credit; a non-transferable gift certificate or gift card; a credit to the payment card used to pay for the product; a check; or another remedy that we determine in good faith is appropriate in the circumstances. If you do not comply with any of the above conditions, we reserve the right to refuse the return or exchange, or to impose different or additional conditions, including (without limitation) basing our response on the current sales price. Products purchased as gifts can be refunded in full to the original purchaser. Gift exchanges will show on the order history of the original purchaser. Return shipping charges are the responsibility of the customer, and Rene Herse Group is unable to refund postage on returned items.

If you file a complaint with your credit card company or Paypal (chargeback), we cannot process your return until that complaint is resolved. To ensure a timely credit to your account, please contact us first to resolve any concerns.

Refusing packages will cause a delay in processing your return. Returns without Return Authorization Numbers may not be refunded, or will incur a 25% re-stocking fee due to the extra work required.

Products that don’t meet the return policy outlined above (used, damaged, no Return Authorization Number, etc.) will be shipped back to the customer at customer’s expense, if they choose.

11. COMPLAINTS AND LEGAL NOTICES

All complaints and legal notices should be mailed to Rene Herse Cycles Ltd., 2442 NW Market St. #426, Seattle, WA, 98107, USA. If a law requires us to accept legal notices via email, contact us via our warranty form to ask for the address intended for receipt of such notices.
