Tip by parents for parents
- Do not spray the tricycle with a high-pressure sprayer. A too strong water jet can damage the electronics in the electrical parts. In addition, you spray the grease out of the bearings and moisture enters the frame. The warranty expires in such cases.
- Protect the Babboe cargo bike against the frost. Do not use the parking brake if the cargo bike is outside for a longer period of time, there is a risk that it will freeze.
Article 5 Submitting a warranty claim
- Warranty claims must be submitted to Babboe by email. The email should include the order number, frame number and a picture of the relevant part. Babboe will then be able to assess whether it is covered by the warranty.
- Babboe will either accept or reject the claim within a reasonable time frame. Should it not be reasonably possible for Babboe to assess the defect without having seen the cargo bike in person, an appropriate solution will be found in consultation with the owner.
- Before sending a replacement item, Babboe may request the item in question to be sent to Babboe for assessment. Based on that assessment, Babboe may decide that the item is not covered by the warranty and may not send a replacement item.
- Transport costs for the Babboe cargo bike and/or parts to and from Babboe shall be borne by the owner, unless the relevant part is covered by the warranty.
- If a certain part is covered by the warranty and the original is no longer available, Babboe will suggest an alternative that is at least equivalent.
Article 6 Liability
- A warranty claim honoured by Babboe does not automatically mean that Babboe also accepts liability for any loss or damage sustained. Babboe’s liability will never extend beyond what is defined in these warranty conditions and/or Babboe's applicable general terms and conditions.
