Lay-by Terms and Conditions

Our Lay-by Policy sets out the terms and conditions under which Ivanhoe Cycles offers lay-by services to its customers.

A lay-by arrangement allows customers to reserve and purchase products by making a series of installment payments, with the product(s) being delivered or collected upon completion of all payments. The maximum lay-by period is 12 weeks from first installment date or deposit date.

1. Customer Eligibility:

1.1. Lay-by services are available to customers who meet the following criteria:
a) Must be at least 18 years old or have the consent of a legal guardian.
b) Must provide valid identification and contact details.
c) Must agree to comply with the terms and conditions of the lay-by agreement.

2. Product Eligibility:

2.1. Not all products are eligible for lay-by. The availability of lay-by services is at the sole discretion of Ivanhoe Cycles.

3. Lay-by Process:

3.1. Selection of Product: Customers may select eligible products for lay-by in-store. The customer shall receive an invoice specifying the product details, total purchase price, and any applicable fees.

3.2. Deposit: A minimum deposit of 10% of the total invoice amount is required to start the lay-by.

3.3. Installment Payments: Customers must make regular installment payments every 2 weeks. Installment payments can be made via phone, in-store or bank deposit.

3.4. Final Payment and Collection: The customer must complete all payments by the 12 week period. Upon receipt of the final payment, the product(s) will be made available for collection or delivery.

4. Cancellation and Refunds:

4.1. Customer Cancellation:
Customers have the right to cancel their lay-by at any time before the final payment is made. In the event of cancellation, the Ivanhoe Cycles will refund the amount paid by the customer, less a cancellation fee.

The cancellation fee is 10% of the total invoice price. The refund will be provided within 7 business days from the date of cancellation.

4.2. Company Cancellation:
Ivanhoe Cycles reserves the right to cancel the lay-by agreement in the event of non-compliance with the agreed-upon terms and conditions.

If the customer fails to make more than 1 installment payment within the 12-week period, the lay-by may be considered void, and the Ivanhoe Cycles will retain 10% of the invoice total as a restocking fee.

5. Changes to Lay-by Agreement:

5.1. Any changes or amendments to the lay-by agreement must be made to the store where the lay-by initiated.
