A brief summary of the agreements

Aloha (future) kiter! Here you can find GoShaka's general terms and conditions. We understand that no one wants to go through all of these, but they are necessary.

That's why we have the most important points at a glance put in front of you. We advise you to read the full general terms and conditions, as they always take precedence over this summary.

The agreement between you and GoShaka

The agreement between you and GoShaka is concluded when you place an order via the online store (both via the configuration tool and the leasing of individual products or sets). The lease period then starts from the moment you receive the assembled equipment at home. You are a subscriber from that moment until your subscription expires. We will of course inform you in a timely manner and several times that the end of your contract is in sight.

All material remains the property of GoShaka as it is an operational lease agreement. Do you want to buy the material? That's possible! Even if your lease period has not yet expired, we will make you a suitable offer.

Our obligations 

Our greatest obligation is to supply well-functioning and safe kite and wing surfing equipment. This will be delivered to your home in accordance with your order.

If you use our subscription for a year or longer, we offer you the opportunity to have your equipment checked by our repair partner for free. This way you are always assured of material in the very best condition.

We also take care of repairs. You only pay a small deductible per claim.

Your obligations

The biggest obligation for you is paying the monthly installments. In addition, we assume that you will use the leased equipment properly, as if it were your own. If something unexpectedly breaks during your subscription, we will repair it. Report damage or an accident within 24 hours, unless this is really not possible. Together we will then look for a suitable solution. In the event of an accident, try to note the contact details of bystanders, this will help assess who can be held responsible for damages. If you experience theft, always report it. Without a declaration we cannot do anything and unfortunately we have to recover the costs from you. We want to prevent this!

 

If you have any questions regarding this summary or the general terms and conditions, you can always contact our customer service via one of the channels on the contact page, we will be happy to help you!
