These Consumer Purchase Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Oh Wow Cyles a California corporation (“Oh Wow Bikes”, “us” or “we”), and apply to all consumer purchases by you of any model of Oh Wow Bikes’s electric bikes (“ebike (s)”) and/or related accessories or other products offered by Oh Wow Bikes (collectively with ebikes, the “Products”) in the United States only. Purchases in Canada and the European Union must be made through their respective websites and are subject to the applicable Terms and Conditions contained on their website. By purchasing any Products from Oh Wow Bikes, whether online or at our showroom, or by using the Products you thereby agree to these Terms in their entirety. Please read these Terms carefully as they list your obligations and rights and include a requirement that all disputes that you may have under these Terms be taken to arbitration, instead of a jury trial or class action.
1. Application
These Terms apply to your purchase of the Products and use of the ebikes. Other interactions that you have with Oh Wow Bikes are subject to other agreements, including the:
Limited Warranty Terms
Terms of Use
Privacy Notice
Owner’s Manual
A copy of these Terms and all other documents which apply to your purchase of Products are available for you to read on our website.
2. Ebike Online Or In-Store Orders
In the event you are purchasing an ebike by ordering online or in an Oh Wow Bikes retail store (as opposed to a direct purchase in store of in-stock item) your order of an ebike is an offer to buy. Oh Wow Bikes will send you an email confirming our receipt of your order. Oh Wow Bikes has accepted your order upon shipment of the ebike. We reserve the right at any time, even after we send you a confirmation email, to decline or cancel your order or to limit order quantities for any reason, including errors or suspected fraud.
From time to time, in its sole discretion, Oh Wow Bikes may promote special offers, codes or referral programs for certain sales or product launches.

7. Ebike Performance
Please note that information regarding the expected range on a single charge on one of our ebikes is an estimate, not a guarantee. There are many factors that contribute to actual, real-world range for an ebike battery such as age of the battery, temperature, level of assist, speed, payload, and terrain. Given the right conditions, it is possible to get less than the expected minimum range or greater than the expected maximum range.
Alteration. Any alterations, modifications, or other changes made by you to an ebike following your purchase which affect the safety, operation, or mechanics of the ebike shall void the Limited Warranty and shall be at your sole risk of harm.
8. Payments
Our website is powered by WooCommerce made by you to Oh Wow Bikes are processed through Authorize.net’s payment portal. Payments may be declined or returned to you, in Oh Wow Bikes’s sole discretion, for any reason or no reason at all. If we accept a pre-order of any Product, your account, credit card, or other payment mechanism will be charged upon approval by Oh Wow Bikes, regardless of when your purchase is expected to ship. If any credit card chargeback of any amount is issued on an order, the Limited Warranty for that order will be paused until the chargeback has been resolved.
Tax. All applicable taxes (including sales tax) will be collected on all orders where such taxes are required to be collected.
Financing. For qualified purchasers, ebikes may be financed through Oh Wow Bikes’s consumer financing partners. The necessary qualifications for financing an ebike purchase, and your rights and obligations associated with such purchase, are solely determined by the consumer financing partner. It is your responsibility to review and understand all terms and conditions associated with financing an ebike purchase, and you hereby acknowledge that Oh Wow Bikes is no way responsible for any such financing.
9. Liability
WE ARE ONLY LIABLE TO YOU FOR LOSSES WHICH YOU SUFFER AS A DIRECT RESULT OF OUR BREACH OF THESE TERMS AND WHICH ARE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE. OUR LIABILITY FOR SUCH LOSSES SHALL BE NO MORE THAN THE AMOUNT OF PURCHASE OF OUR PRODUCTS GIVING RISE TO SUCH LOSSES. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY OTHER LOSSES. THESE TERMS DO NOT EXCLUDE OR LIMIT OUR LIABILITY (IF ANY) FOR: (i) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE; (ii) FRAUD; (iii) FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION; OR (iv) ANY MATTER WHICH IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR US TO EXCLUDE OR ATTEMPT TO EXCLUDE OUR LIABILITY. YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS GRANTED BY LAW AND THESE TERMS DO NOT AFFECT SUCH RIGHTS.

This arbitration requirement applies to any claim or dispute of any kind (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, whether pre-existing, present, or future, and including statutory, common law, or equitable) between you and Oh Wow Bikes, its affiliates, agents, employees, successors, assigns, direct and indirect subsidiaries, and any third party providing any products or services to you in connection with your purchase that relates in any way to your purchase of the Products, these Terms, or Oh Wow Bikes’s marketing or advertising (“Claims”).

The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court. Any award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. You and Oh Wow Bikes agree to arbitration only on an individual basis. Neither you nor Oh Wow Bikes may join or consolidate claims of others or participate in any claim as a class representative or a class member.

15. Governing Law
These Terms and any disputes between you and OWB will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflicts of laws.
16. 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.” Oh Wow Bikes’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 Oh Wow Bikes if it is in a written document signed by Oh Wow Bikes. 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 Oh Wow Bikes intend that the provisions of these Terms be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, you and Oh Wow Bikes 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. Oh Wow Bikes 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 Oh Wow Bikes’s successors and assigns. Oh Wow Bikes 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 Oh Wow Bikes with respect to the Site. Both you and Oh Wow Bikes warrant to each other that, in entering this agreement, neither Oh Wow Bikes 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 Oh Wow Bikes, or Oh Wow Bikes’s successors and assigns, will have any right to enforce these Terms.
17. R-E-S-P-E-C-T Find Out What It Means To Us (hint: a lot!)
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 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.
