Your employer accepts your right to a bicycle benefit in our system.

BIKE ORDER, DELIVERY AND RECEIVING


Whether you do business with our physical- or online store -partner store, or through Vapaus Precycled.io online store, you must have a Vapaus user account created and you must have active approved bike benefit from your employer so the purchase of a bicycle is allowed.

When you have placed an order request from the purchase location of your choice (list above):

  1. You will receive a summary of your pre-order and order confirmation as well as instructions for accepting your bike order in the application to the e-mail address you provided.
  2. Log in to your Vapaus user account, check and accept the leasing agreement and the terms of use of the service and your employer's employee bicycle manual.
  3. By confirming the pre-order, you accept the terms of the service and commit to the bike contract, and no further changes can be made to the contract afterwards.
  4. Please note,
    • Our partner stores may have handling/delivery costs that are not dependent on Vapaus. Please confirm the total price of your bike with delivery directly from the partner. These costs are included directly in the tax value of the bike package.
    • Online store orders may include additional costs related to delivery, such as delivery fees and the bike installation fee, which will be notified to you separately in connection with the service. These costs are included directly in the tax value of the bike package.
  5. Bike delivery
    • If you order your bike from a partner store, the partner will inform you about the delivery schedule when ordering. In the best case, you can get your bike with you the same day ๐Ÿ˜‰
    • If you order your bike from the online store with the help of our customer service, you will receive a preliminary delivery estimate from us and we will provide you with an order tracking link when the bike has left for transport from the online store of your choice.
  6. Receiving the bike
    • When you receive the bike, always check that the bike and its equipment are as ordered and that the bike is properly assembled. All defects must be reported immediately, but within 3 days of receipt of the bike, to Vapaus Customer Service.
