- If you are a Consumer or a Business with consumer rights, we are liable for any lack of conformity of the Goods with the Agreement in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, in particular the Act of May 30, 2014, on Consumer Rights.
- The goods are in conformity with the Agreement if, in particular:
- complies with the description, type, quantity, quality, completeness, and functionality;
- has the characteristics you could reasonably expect, given the nature of the Goods, including durability and safety, as well as our public representations, those of the manufacturer, or those of others acting on our behalf, particularly in advertising or on the label;
- is fit for the purposes for which goods of this type are normally used, taking into account applicable laws, technical standards, or best practices;
- suitability for the specific purpose for which it is intended, provided that you informed Us of that purpose no later than at the time the Sales Agreement was concluded, and We accepted that purpose;
- conforms to the model or sample, if such a model or sample was provided prior to the conclusion of the Sales Agreement;
- It comes with the packaging, accessories, and instructions that you, as a Consumer or a Business with consumer rights, can reasonably expect.

- by email to: sklep@helriders.com
- by calling the following phone number: +48 690 216 264
- We recommend that, whenever possible, a complaint include:
- Your information;
- Order number or other proof of purchase;
- a description of the nonconformity of the Goods with the Contract;
- the date it was determined;
- Your request to bring the Goods into compliance with the Sales Agreement, i.e., repair or replacement, or—if the statutory conditions are met—a request for a price reduction or to withdraw from the Sales Agreement.
- The absence of a proof of purchase—provided you can demonstrate that the Sales Agreement was concluded in another manner—or the absence of any of the recommended details listed in paragraph 4 above does not deprive you of your right to file a complaint. If resolving the complaint requires the return of the Goods, we will coordinate with you on how to return them.
- If the Goods do not conform to the Sales Agreement, you may request that they be repaired or replaced. The choice between repair and replacement is yours, unless the method you choose to bring the Goods into conformity with the Sales Agreement is impossible or would impose excessive costs on Us. In such a case, we may, in accordance with applicable law, repair the Goods instead of replacing them, or replace them instead of repairing them. If both repair and replacement are impossible or would impose excessive costs on us, we may refuse to bring the Goods into conformity with the Sales Agreement. When assessing whether the costs are excessive, we take into account all the circumstances of the case, in particular the significance of the Goods’ non-conformity with the Sales Agreement, the value of Goods that conform to the Sales Agreement, and the undue inconvenience to you resulting from a change in the method of bringing the Goods into conformity with the Sales Agreement.
- The repair or replacement of the Goods shall take place within a reasonable time from the moment we are notified by you of the Goods’ nonconformity with the Sales Agreement, and without undue inconvenience to you, taking into account the specific nature of the Goods and the purpose for which you purchased them.
- We will bear the costs of repairing or replacing the Goods, including, in particular, shipping, transportation, labor, and material costs. If the Goods subject to repair or replacement have been delivered to you, you will make them available to Us, and We will pick them up from you at Our expense.
- If the Goods do not conform to the Sales Agreement, you may request a price reduction or withdraw from the Sales Agreement if the conditions set forth in applicable law are met, in particular when:
- (a) we refuse to bring the Goods into conformity with the Sales Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth in paragraph 6 above;
- (b) we have not brought the Goods into compliance with the Sales Agreement within a reasonable time or without undue inconvenience to you;
- (c) the Goods remain non-conforming to the Sales Agreement, even though we have attempted to bring the Goods into conformity with the Sales Agreement;
- (d) the nonconformity of the Goods with the Sales Agreement is so significant that it justifies a price reduction or a refund due to withdrawal from the Sales Agreement without first exercising the rights to repair or replacement;
- (e) it is clear from Our statement or the circumstances that We will not bring the Goods into conformity with the Sales Agreement within a reasonable time or without undue inconvenience to You.
- The reduced price shall be in the same proportion to the price of the Goods as the value of the Goods that do not conform to the Sales Agreement is to the value of the Goods that do conform to the Sales Agreement. We will refund the reduced price to you immediately, no later than 14 days after receiving your request for a price reduction.
- You may not withdraw from the Sales Agreement on the grounds that the Goods do not conform to the Sales Agreement if the nonconformity is minor; however, it is presumed that the Goods’ nonconformity with the Sales Agreement is material. If you withdraw from the Sales Agreement for this reason, you must return the Goods at Our expense. We will also refund you the price of the Goods, including delivery costs, immediately, no later than 14 days after receiving the Goods or proof of their return. If the non-conformity of the Goods with the Sales Agreement applies only to certain Goods delivered under the Order, you may withdraw from the Sales Agreement only with respect to those Goods. An exception to this is a situation in which you may withdraw from the Sales Agreement for all Goods in a given Order if the circumstances indicate that you cannot reasonably be expected to agree to keep only the Goods that comply with the Sales Agreement.
- We will refund the price and any other amounts owed to you using the same payment method you used when placing your Order, unless you expressly agree to a different refund method that does not incur any costs on your part.
- We are liable, in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, for any lack of conformity of the Goods with the Sales Agreement that existed at the time of delivery of the Goods and became apparent within two years from the date of delivery of the Goods, unless the law provides for a longer period of liability. If the lack of conformity of the Goods with the Sales Agreement became apparent before the expiration of two years from the date of delivery of the Goods, it is presumed that the lack of conformity existed at the time of delivery of the Goods, unless proven otherwise or unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the Goods or the nature of the lack of conformity of the Goods with the Sales Contract.
- We will respond to your complaint promptly, no later than 14 days from the date of receipt. If we do not respond to your complaint within 14 days of receipt, the complaint will be deemed accepted. If we decide not to accept the complaint, we will inform you of the reason for the denial.
- If the Goods were sent to us in connection with the processing of your complaint, and if the complaint is denied, we will return the Goods to the address and in the manner agreed upon with you. We will contact you using the contact information provided in the Order (via email and/or by phone), unless you explicitly provide different contact information in the complaint. Contact will be limited solely to matters related to the complaint.
- The provisions of these Terms and Conditions do not preclude your right to pursue claims before a competent court. You may also use out-of-court methods of resolving consumer disputes in accordance with the rules set forth in applicable law. The use of out-of-court methods for handling complaints and pursuing claims is voluntary.
- Information regarding your options for using out-of-court complaint resolution and claim enforcement procedures, as well as the rules for accessing these procedures, is available at the offices and on the websites of county (municipal) consumer ombudsmen, civil society organizations whose statutory tasks include consumer protection, the Provincial Inspectorates of Trade Inspection, and on the website of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection at https://uokik.gov.pl/pomoc-dla-konsumentow
- The provisions of this paragraph do not exclude or limit your rights under generally applicable laws.
- Sales Agreements entered into with Customers who do not benefit from the protections afforded to Consumers or Business Entities with consumer rights are governed by the laws applicable to such agreements, including, first and foremost, the Act of April 23, 1964—the Civil Code.
