The Product must be appropriately protected and packaged and sent to the following address: DirAuto S.r.l., Via Alessandro Manzoni 135, 25040, Berzo Inferiore, Brescia.

The Product must be returned intact and fully complete, in its original packaging, accompanied with all relative accessories still attached and devoid of all signs of usage or dirt. The return procedure is applicable to the Product as a whole. It cannot therefore be applied with regards to parts and/or accessories of the Product (which do not constitute autonomous Products).
In the case that the right of withdrawal has not been exercised in compliance with the previsions of the applicable regulations, this will not result in the termination of the contract and, therefore, the Customer will not have the right to any form of refund.

In the event that the Product has already been returned to Ebikeforlife, it will remain available for collection by the Customer, under the responsibility and at the expense of the same.
Customers are reminded that, pursuant to the Consumer Code, right of withdrawal is excluded in the case that the sale contract concerns:

- sealed products that are not suitable for return for reasons of hygiene or regarding the safeguarding of health, or that have been opened after delivery;
- products that risk deterioration or rapid expiry.
