18. 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.” BEB’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 BEB if it is in a written document signed by BEB. 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 BEB intend that the provisions of these Terms be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, you and BEB 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. BEB 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 BEB’s successors and assigns. BEB 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 BEB with respect to the Site. Both you and BEB warrant to each other that, in entering this agreement, neither BEB 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 BEB, or BEB’s successors and assigns, will have any right to enforce these Terms.
Refunds/ Reimbursements
All refunds/ reimbursements are at the sole discretion of BEB and to the original mode of payment only. In case the original payment mode has changed/ disabled it is the responsibility of the customer to inform BEB about the same as early as possible. Failure to do so may result in a ‘lost’ or suspended transaction and under no circumstances can BEB be held liable for the misplaced transaction or asked for a repeat of a refund to another payment mode. In such cases, the onus is on the customer to contact the relevant financial institution and secure the transaction.
While we take all measures to process the approved refunds as soon as possible, there are delays sometimes at the financial merchant’s interface, BEB cannot be held responsible for delays in the processing of refunds/ reimbursements and the inconvenience/ loss caused due to it.

19. R-E-S-P-E-C-T towards BEB staff
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 or sexual innuendos/ hints/ comments 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.
Abuse:
Biktrix Inc. considers all its customers and clients extremely valuable, but our employees are invaluable to us. We expect all our customers and clients to behave in a civilized manner with our employees, agents, support staff, showroom personnel, and dealers and treat them with RESPECT at all times. In case of a grievance, the respective issue must be brought to the attention of the support team in a respectful way while communicating on any channel. We understand that oftentimes certain situations can cause anger and frustration to get the better of a human being, however, we will not condone such behaviour irrespective of the circumstances.
Swearing or profanity is strictly prohibited on all forms of messaging and such clients would be blocked permanently if they fail to comply after a written warning has been issued to them. Biktrix Inc. adopts a ‘Zero-Tolerance’ policy against any form of verbal/ non-verbal/ physical/ mental/ emotional/ direct/ in-direct/ racial abuse/ harassment/ bullying or slandering towards any personnel of Biktrix Inc.

20. Local Bike Shop - Terms Of Service
In instances where the bike needs to be serviced at a Local Bike Shop, the customer must procure a pre-authorization from BEB to proceed ahead with the warranty claims. Failure to secure a pre-authorization may result in the rejection of the warranty claim made for such works.
Pre- Authorization: Before proceeding with service at a Local Bike Shop, BEB will issue a pre-authorization for an appropriate amount based on the nature of the work that needs to be carried out on the bike.
In cases where the customer receives an estimate from the Local Bike Shop that is more than the pre-authorized amount. It is the responsibility of the customer to secure a revised pre-authorization. Failure to do this excludes BEB from any liability to compensate for the invoice beyond the pre-authorization.
If the customer willfully proceeds with the repair work that costs more than the pre-authorized amount, BEB is liable to only compensate the customer for the amount that was pre-authorized and will not cover the entire amount on the Invoice of the Work.
Diagnostics: In certain cases, BEB will pre-authorize an amount for our customer to take their bike to a local bike shop for diagnostics of the issue. This is intended as a fault-finding process, to have an experienced bike mechanic look at the bike and provide insight into the issue and repair options and to provide a quote for the actual work to fix the problem.
If the bike shop proceeds with the actual work when we have only pre-authorized for diagnostics, then the customer should not assume that BEB will reimburse them for the warranty claim. In such cases, the reimbursement of the warranty claim and the amount of refund would be at the sole discretion of BEB .
Reimbursement for work: Once the job is completed the customer must send us a copy of the invoice and BEB will reimburse/ refund the customer via the original payment method that was used to purchase the bike.
In case the customer wants BEB to pay the bike shop directly, this would need an additional 5 business days to process the payment on BEB’s end. The payments can be made via electronic means only.
Coordination: If the local bike shop requires the customer to leave the bike at a local bike shop for a certain number of days it is the responsibility of the customer to coordinate with the bike shop and seek information regarding the progress of the work on the bike. BEB agents may communicate with the Bike Shop via Telephone and emails during regular BEB business hours, however, it is the owner’s responsibility to be part of all types of communication between the Bike Shop and BEB. Under no circumstances BEB or one of our agents can be held responsible for the job that is done at a Local Bike Shop. In the instance that the local bike shop needs parts that are specifically available from BEB, they need to send a request for these through the original owner of the bike. BEB will not accept parts requests received from the local bike shop directly.
It is the responsibility of the customer to be looped into the proceedings at the local bike shop and to ensure that any emails regarding the work must have relevant people CC'd for transparent communication. BEB cannot be held responsible for delays at the local bike shop for any reason whatsoever.
Storage Fees: Some bike shops may charge storage fees on bikes that are waiting for parts/ troubleshooting purposes or any similar reason thereof. In cases like these, the customer must pay for the storage fee or take the bike back until such time that the parts have been received and the local bike shop is able to commence work on the bike. BEB will not cover the Storage Fee at Bike Shops.
