You have rights under The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 which state that up to 14 days after receiving your goods, in most cases, you can change your mind and get a full refund. You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days from delivery without giving any reason. This right does not apply to any customised or personalised goods bought through our website. To exercise this right please contact us prior to the expiry of the cancellation rights period.
If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

Cigala Cycling is a retailer, not a wholesaler. Our aim is to inspire everybody, every day and everywhere to experience the joy of sport, not to act as a wholesaler supporting B2B sales. As such, we reserve the right to cancel excessive orders of individual products without notice. Please contact customer service for further information on this matter.
Pre-order policy
When you place a pre-order with us, we contact the appropriate distributor and place the order. If the item is available, we will then get order confirmation which we then confirm with you, along with the ETA. At this point, we have committed to the pre-order and can no longer cancel the item without penalty. Therefore, please be very sure when placing your pre-order as there are cancellation fees incurred if you change your mind. The cancellation fee for a pre-order is equal to 30% of the total amount, which for some orders of large amounts such as bikes, that is the non-refundable deposit that is required when placing the pre-order.
Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)
ETA's can vary and are not guaranteed arrival date. We list the date given by manufacturer, but delays can and do happen. We cannot cancel your pre-order, even if delays are substantial, so please take this into account when ordering. We regularly update the product listing with the latest ETA. Keep an eye on the listings after you order to see when your product is due to arrive.
Settling a Pre-Order When It Arrives
When your item arrives we will contact you to settle any balance due and arrange shipping.
Orders must be settled within 7 days of the product coming into stock. Failure to settle within this period may mean you lose your pre-ordered item.
Prices quoted can be subject to change as items are only billed by manufacturers when they ship to us. We do everything we can to give you an accurate buy price, but pre-orders that are far away can vary in price if exchange rate varies from now until then.
Postage fees can also vary depending on the size of the product, type of shipping and number of boxes required. We suggest you pre-order each item individually as that way each pre-order's postage is paid separately and can ship as it comes into stock.

Because of the size and weight of the KICKR BIKE, when returning KICKR BIKE (New, inactivated) due to changing your mind, you will be charged a restocking fee of €225. This fee is inclusive of the costs associated with any packing material to secure the KICKR BIKE for return shipment.
