GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
of ReNewBike GmbH
for Business Transactions with Entrepreneurs
(as of 22 May 2025)

1. General Applicability
1.1. These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) apply to all business relationships between ReNewBike GmbH, Rohrbacher Straße 33, 4184 Helfenberg (hereinafter “RENEWBIKE”) and its customers for whom the transaction is part of the operation of a business (hereinafter “CUSTOMER”). The GTC regulate the mutual rights and obligations of the contracting parties. RENEWBIKE prepares offers and provides services and deliveries exclusively on the basis of these GTC. This applies to existing and future contractual relationships, even if no explicit reference is made to them. In any case, by accepting a delivery, the CUSTOMER acknowledges the GTC of RENEWBIKE.
1.2. Oral agreements between the contracting parties are replaced by the written contract.
1.3. Deviating, opposing, or supplementary terms and conditions of the CUSTOMER shall not become part of the contract, even if known, unless RENEWBIKE explicitly agrees to their validity in writing. Written form is preserved by sending a fax or an email.

2. Offers and Conclusion of Contract
2.1. Orders by the CUSTOMER are only considered accepted once confirmed in writing by RENEWBIKE, including by email. Until then, statements and offers made by RENEWBIKE are non-binding and constitute an invitation to submit an offer by the CUSTOMER.
2.2. Offers from RENEWBIKE are non-binding. Technical descriptions and other details in offers, brochures, or other information are initially non-binding.
2.3. Offers and cost estimates are only made in writing. Verbal cost estimates have no legal significance.
2.4. Unless otherwise agreed, offers and cost estimates are subject to a fee.
2.5. Offers and cost estimates are prepared based on the information provided by the CUSTOMER, without guarantee for completeness or accuracy.
2.6. RENEWBIKE reserves ownership and intellectual property rights to illustrations, drawings, calculations, and other documents. These may not be made accessible to third parties.
2.7. RENEWBIKE reserves the right to sell goods offered to the CUSTOMER to third parties during the validity period of the offer (intermediate sale). The CUSTOMER shall have no claims arising from this.
2.8. If details in written order confirmations issued by RENEWBIKE differ from information in catalogs, brochures, or other RENEWBIKE documentation, the details in the order confirmation shall be binding.

3. Prices
3.1. Unless fixed prices or delivery-date-specific price commitments have been explicitly confirmed, RENEWBIKE reserves the right to adjust prices due to changes in exchange rates, fiscal charges, customs duties, freight, raw materials, manufacturing, and labor costs that occur between the date of the order confirmation and the date of delivery.
3.2. VAT for domestic deliveries is not included in the prices and must be paid by the CUSTOMER. Prices are stated in euros.

4. Deliveries
4.1. Deliveries are generally made ex works.
4.2. Delivery is deemed made upon handover to the transport company. Risk passes to the CUSTOMER at that point.
4.3. Delivery periods and dates are initially non-binding. A binding delivery date requires explicit written confirmation (including email) from RENEWBIKE.
4.4. To meet a delivery date per 4.2., RENEWBIKE must notify the CUSTOMER of readiness for dispatch or hand over the goods to a transport company within the agreed period.
4.5. Delivery periods begin only after all execution details have been fully clarified. Compliance with delivery deadlines requires fulfillment of the CUSTOMER’s contractual obligations.
4.6. The scope of RENEWBIKE’s delivery obligation is determined exclusively by the contract. RENEWBIKE reserves the right to make design, shape, and color changes based on technical improvements or legal requirements, provided they are not significant or unreasonable for the CUSTOMER.
4.7. RENEWBIKE is entitled to make partial deliveries.
4.8. Packaging and transport costs are borne by the CUSTOMER.
4.9. Packaging materials will not be taken back by RENEWBIKE.

5. Delivery Periods / Delivery Hindrances
5.1. Any agreed delivery periods or dates are subject to force majeure, e.g., strikes, lockouts, fire, natural disasters, transport disruptions, shortages of raw materials or energy, supplier delays, or other unforeseen operational disruptions at RENEWBIKE or its suppliers.
5.2. Delays caused by the above circumstances release RENEWBIKE from its delivery obligations. The CUSTOMER has no right to cancel the order or reject the delivery. The CUSTOMER shall not be entitled to any claims for damages.
5.3. If delivery deadlines are not met and no force majeure applies, the CUSTOMER must set a grace period of at least 21 days in writing. After this period, the CUSTOMER may withdraw from the contract, except in the case of custom orders requiring investments from RENEWBIKE, in which case the CUSTOMER must reimburse the full investment costs.
5.4. In the event of delayed acceptance of the delivery, the CUSTOMER must pay any storage or standstill costs to RENEWBIKE. The delivery will be invoiced and is payable as agreed. Risk transfers to the CUSTOMER upon notification of readiness for dispatch.
5.5. RENEWBIKE is not obliged to deliver if the CUSTOMER is in default of payment from other deliveries.
