These Terms are divided into “Section A” and “Section B”. “Section A” terms apply specifically to those making purchases on this Website, and “Section b” Terms apply to all users of this Website (BOTH USERS THAT MAKE PURCHASES AND USERS WHO DO NOT). 
IF YOU USE THIS WEBSITE BUT DO NOT MAKE ANY PURCHASE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE “SECTION B” TERMS (AND ANY TERMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE); AND, IF YOU MAKE A PURCHASE YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE “SECTION B” TERMS AND THE “SECTION A” TERMS (AND ANY TERMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE). 
DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE, ONLINE SERVICES, OR MOBILE APPLICATION IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS.

1. Section A – Terms applicable to users making website purchases.

“SECTION A” Terms apply specifically to all users making purchases on this Website. If you are using this Website, but not making a purchase, please refer to “SECTION B” for Terms applicable to you.

1. TERMS GOVERNING ALL ORDERS. These Terms apply to any and all purchases made by you from Giant via this Website. If you place an order with Giant it means you have read and expressly agree, consent to, and accept these Terms. You must be 18 years or older to make a purchase on this Website. These Terms apply to all sales of bicycles, clothing, and any and all other goods and products offered on this Website (collectively, “Products”). These Terms cannot be altered, other than in writing and signed by an Officer of Giant. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between these Terms and any provision in any Customer-submitted order or writing, in any other document writing, or any oral arrangement in connection with an order of any Product, these Terms shall govern and control (and any inconsistent provisions shall be void). Giant reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time in its sole discretion. Notice of any such changes to these Terms will be provided by Giant by posting a notification on this Website or updating the date referenced at the top of the revised Terms or as otherwise deemed appropriate by Giant. Giant’s right to require strict observance and performance of each of these Terms shall not be reduced, vitiated, or otherwise affected by any current or past waiver of any of these Terms (or by any previous course of dealing).
2. ORDERS AND ACCEPTANCE. When a Customer places an order on this Website, such order will not be deemed accepted by Giant unless and until an order acknowledgment is sent to the Customer via email by Giant (“Order Confirmation”). Orders accepted by Giant may not be cancelled by Customer without Giant’s express written consent, which Giant may withhold in its sole discretion. All orders are subject to the availability of the ordered Product. Giant reserves the right to impose quantity limits on any order, to reject all or part of an order, and to discontinue products or services without notice, even if you have already placed your order. Also, even if an order has been accepted, Giant may subsequently cancel such order in whole or in part due to Product availability (including without limitation, any discontinuation of the Product), price change, if the incorrect Product price was displayed on this Website, or as otherwise determined by Giant in its sole discretion. Customer will be notified of any order cancellation and any amounts Customer has paid to Giant in respect of such order shall be refunded to Customer as set forth in the “Payment” paragraph of these Terms.
3. PRICES AND TAXES. All prices on this Website are shown in United States dollars. All prices are subject to change without notice, and exclude Taxes (as defined below), shipping and handling charges, and destination fees. The prices quoted for the Products sold via this Website do not include any federal, state or local sales, use, value-added, excise, gross receipts or any similar transaction or consumption taxes, tariffs, duties or other charges imposed on or measured by the use or sale of Products (collectively, “Taxes”). You shall be responsible and pay for, and reimburse Giant if it pays, any such Taxes (except for income Taxes imposed on Giant). If Giant is required by any governmental authority or agency to collect and pay any Taxes on Customer’s behalf, Giant may invoice Customer for such amounts including any interest or penalty assessed thereon. Products displayed on this Website may be also available at a Giant authorized retailer in our dealership network (each an “Authorized Giant Dealer”); however, prices displayed for such Products on this Website may vary from advertised promotional prices available at an Authorized Giant Dealer.
4. Payment. All orders must be paid in full prior to shipment. Giant accepts all major credit cards, such as MasterCard, Visa, and American Express, and debit cards. Payment information is submitted by Customer upon the placement of any order, and acceptance, fulfillment and shipping of the order by Giant is subject to verification of payment information and availability of funds. Only valid credit or debit cards acceptable to us may be used and all refunds will be credited to the same card used in the purchase. By submitting your order, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated credit or debit card and authorize us to charge your order (including Taxes, shipping, handling, destination fees and any other amounts described on this Website) to that credit or debit card. If the credit or debit card cannot be verified, is invalid, or is not otherwise acceptable, your order may be suspended or cancelled automatically.
5. Website Errors. We do not warrant that any Product, description, photograph, pricing or other information on this Website is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. In the event of an error, whether on this Website, in an Order Confirmation, in processing an order, delivering a Product or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly if necessary (including charging the correct Product purchase price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged. Your sole remedy in the event of such error is to cancel your order and obtain a refund.
6. Agreement to Conduct Transactions Electronically; Recording; Copies. You agree that all of your transactions with or through this Website may, at our option, be conducted electronically from start to finish, and that any oral conversations may be recorded. If we decide to proceed non-electronically, those transactions will still be governed by the remainder of these Terms unless you enter into different written terms provided by us. You are responsible to print or make an electronic a copy of these Terms and any other contract or disclosure that we are required to provide to you.
7. Shipping & Handling and/or Destination Fees; Delivery; and Risk of Loss. All Products purchased on this Website can only be shipped to a valid street address (i.e., we do not deliver to P.O. Boxes, Army Post Office (APO) and Fleet Post Office (FPO)) within the contiguous 48 states of the United States (which excludes Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and all other foreign countries) to (a) you directly (to the domestic/deliver-to address indicated in your order) or (b) an Authorized Giant Dealer of your choosing. Please note that for any transaction that includes a bicycle, such bicycle (and any accompanying merchandise purchased in such transaction) will not be shipped to you directly but will instead be delivered only to an Authorized Giant Dealer, from whom you will pick it up and take delivery. Although Giant is authorized to make shipping arrangements on Customer’s behalf, Customer is solely responsible for all shipping and handling, or destination fee charges which are displayed on this Website when an order is placed. All Products are shipped via standard ground delivery (i.e., no provisions for expedited freight on bicycles or other Products). Title and risk of loss or damage to the ordered Product shall pass to Customer at the time the Product is delivered to Customer (whether shipped directly to Customer or whether shipped to an Authorized Giant Dealer). Shipping times shown on this Website are good faith estimates only, and actual delivery dates may vary. Giant will use commercially reasonable efforts to fill Customer’s orders within the timeframe stated on this Website but in no event shall Giant be liable for any damages associated with Giant’s inability to meet any such timeframes.
8. Pick-Up at Authorized Giant Dealer. If any of the Product is shipped to an Authorized Giant Dealer for Customer to pick-up, Giant will notify Customer via email when the Product is available for pick-up at the Authorized Giant Dealer. Customer agrees to pick-up the Product at the Authorized Giant Dealer within 7 calendar days following receipt of the email notice, and if Customer is unable to pick-up the Product purchased within such 7 calendar days, Customer will contact the Authorized Giant Dealer using the details in the Order Confirmation. At the time of Product pick-up, Customer agrees to present to the Authorized Giant Dealer, the Order Confirmation and a government issued identification card (such a valid driver’s license or passport). Customer’s failure to pick-up the Product or contact the Authorized Giant Dealer within 14 calendar days of Giant’s initial delivery notification may result in Giant charging Customer a $50 fee for collection, storage, and/or restocking. If Customer fails to pick-up the Product after 14 calendar days, the order shall be cancelled and Giant will refund any amounts Customer has paid in respect of such Product (less the any applicable shipping, handling and restocking charges).
9. Returns. Unless otherwise indicated on this Website as a “non-returnable” item, within 14 days following delivery, a Customer may return a Product for a full refund of the purchase price (not including initial shipping and handling or destination fee charges) plus any applicable Tax, so long as any such Product is in new, unused and undamaged condition, with original packaging, and the original price and information tag(s) have not been removed, and subject to the following:
   1. Products (Other Than Bicycles): Please call (800) US-Giant or email GiantWebLink@GiantBicycle.com to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) and return label. Please include the Return Form with your returned product. A $10 flat restock fee will be deducted from your refund when your return is received unless the return is due to Giant’s error.
   2. Bicycles Only: Bring your order, with proof of purchase, to the local Authorized Giant retailer who assembled your bike. You may be eligible for a full refund of the purchase price (not including initial shipping and handling or destination fee charges) plus any applicable Tax, so long as any such bicycle is like-new and undamaged.
10. Product Changes. From time to time and without notice, Giant reserves the right to make any changes it deems necessary or desirable, including but not limited to changes related to design, specifications, manufacturing or production of its Products. Giant may furnish suitable substitute Products or components for Products or components which are unobtainable by Giant because of any priorities, rules, regulations or the like established by governmental authorities or agencies, or due to price changes or the non-availability of materials or components from suppliers. Customer may not make any changes in the designs or specifications for Products purchased on this Website.
11. Not for Resale. Customer agrees and represents that Customer is buying the Product(s) for Customer’s own use and not for resale.
12. Reservation. Giant reserves the right to refuse to sell Products to anyone for any reason, in its sole discretion.

          4. Limited Remedy. Unless otherwise provided, the sole remedy under the above warranty, or any implied warranty, is limited to the replacement of defective parts with those of equal or greater value at the sole discretion of Giant. Unless within the free 60-day repair labor period, you will be responsible for labor costs associated with warranty replacements. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL GIANT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR ECO­NOMIC LOSSES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY.

Any repaired or replaced Product will remain subject to the warranty for the remaining portion of the original warranty term, but will have no warranty coverage whatsoever beyond expiration of such original warranty term.  This limited warranty shall automatically expire on the one (1) year anniversary of the date of purchase.
