We will deliver only to the address stated on the purchase order and all deliveries will need to be signed for. If you elect another address or select a ‘safe place’ delivery directly with the Carrier we cannot be held responsible for any issues thereafter.

The provision of this clause applies in addition to your statutory consumer rights in relation to faulty or miss-described goods. These rights are not affected by the guarantee and for the purpose of this the Guarantor is Vroom By The Sea Limited t/a The Cafe Racer. Guarantees may not be transferred.

Any issues should be reported to info@the-cafe-racer.com and we will work with you on a resolution. Upon proof of fault we will endeavour to repair the goods free of charge. If a repair is not possible you will be offered a replacement to the same value and only if a suitable replacement is not available will you be offered a full or partial refund depending on the age of the goods.

Slight surface imperfections are typical to the natural leathers used in our products and should not be considered as defects.

All Parts supplied are done so with the understanding they will be fitted by a qualified experienced person equipped with relevant tools and test equipment to facilitate fitment and ensure correct operation. When making a claim for such items please provide an invoice from the fitter of the part in question. Please note that when fitting electrical parts these can be damaged by the same faulty electrical system that caused the initial failure and in such circumstances these parts cannot be returned for refund.

Due to the varying nature of motorcycles all descriptions given for parts are for reference only and are not a guarantee of their suitability for any specific motorbike.

These guarantees do not cover fair wear and tear, neglect, abuse or misuse of your goods, loss or damage (including rusting or corrosion) due to unreasonable exposure to water, heat or weather; loss or damage due to fire, smoke, explosion, lightning, sunlight, or theft, or accidental damage or loss caused by a third party.

We will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss of profits or other financial loss or damage arising out of defective, damaged or wrongly delivered goods over and above the value of the goods themselves. This does not affect your statutory rights.

We offer a 365 day returns policy (from the date of order) if you change your mind. If you wish to return the goods under this policy it is your responsibility to take good care of the products when trying them on and you are liable for any loss or damage. Failure to take reasonable care may result in a claim made against you and we reserve the right to deduct monies to cover any issues with returns. You should take specific care of helmets when trying them on. Do not attach goggles, remove visor film or labels until you are satisfied with the fit. Footwear should be tried indoors and on carpeted floors. Care should be taken when trying on clothing to avoid marking any products.

All items returned under this policy must be unworn, unused and still have all of the relevant original packaging such as boxes, protective film, tags and labels in place. Any and all free items, bags, armour, jacket covers etc. must also be returned. 

Please return to us using appropriate, robust outer packaging to protect the products. Do not (example) stick a returns label on a shoe or helmet box and ensure you complete the returns note. Failure to comply with these instructions will mean we are unable to refund and you will be responsible for the shipping cost of returning to you.

When goods are returned from outside of the UK the package and associated documentation must be clearly marked ‘British returned goods of outbound.. then add the original Carrier name and tracking number’. You can find this information on the original order information you would have received. This should ensure any original customs charges are taken into consideration. Failure to do so will result in our refusal to accept the return and in any event you are liable to pay all Customs charges. 

All items remain your responsibility until received safely by us regardless of the returns method used including the use of our free returns service (if applicable to your order) and you must use a ‘sign for’ service.

Upon receipt of your returned items we will review them to ensure it is in saleable condition (including all original packaging). During these times we hold returns for 48 hours before processing. If accepted by us we will process your refund as soon as possible, minus any pre-paid delivery charges and it will be credited by the same method of payment. In any event this will be no later than 14 days from receipt.
