Aloha (future) kiter! Here you can find GoShaka’s terms and conditions. We understand that no one feels like going through these in their entirety, but they are important.
Therefore, we have listed the most important points for you. We do advise you to read the full terms and conditions, as they always take precedence over this summary.
The agreement between you and GoShaka
The agreement between you and GoShaka comes about the moment you have placed an order through the web store (both through the configuration tool and leasing individual products or sets). The lease period then starts from the moment you receive the gear at home. You are a subscriber from that moment until your subscription is cancelled. Of course, we will notify you timely and several times that the end of your contract is in sight.
All equipment remains the property of GoShaka as it is an operational lease agreement. Want to buy over the equipment? That’s possible! Even if your lease period has not yet expired, we will make you a suitable offer.
Our commitments
Our biggest commitment is to provide proper working and above all, safe kitesurfing equipment. This will be delivered to your home in accordance with your order.
If you use our subscription for more than a year (12 months), we offer you the opportunity to have your equipment checked by our repair partner free of charge. This was, you are always assured of material in the very best condition.
Repairs we also take care of. You only pay a small deductible per claim.
Your obligations
The biggest obligation for you is to pay the monthly installments. In addition, we assume that you use the leased equipment properly, as if it were your own. In the unlikely event that something breaks during your subscription, we will repair it. In case of damage or an accident, report within 24 hours, unless this is really not possible. Together we will then look for an appropriate solution. In case of an accident, try to write down the contact details of bystanders, this helps with the assessment on whom the damage can be recovered. If you encounter theft, always report it. Without a police report we cannot do anything and unfortunately we have to recover the costs from you. We want to prevent this!

2.2 Any agreements between you and GoShaka which deviate from, or supplement, these General Terms and Conditions shall only be valid if expressly confirmed in writing by GoShaka.

3 OFFER, and conclusion of Lease Agreement
3.1 Our offers and also our quotations are always provided with all the necessary (detailed) information, so that you know exactly what you are choosing and what you are paying for (periodically).
Although we take great care in compiling all information in the broadest sense of the word, this does not automatically mean that all information is always complete and / or correct. If there is an obvious error and a manifest mistake GoShaka is not bound by it.
Our offers and quotations are non-binding, indicative and without actual conclusion of an agreement you can not derive any rights from any offer or quotation.
3.2 You can create a personalized contract from the entire range of (kitesurfing) products in our online store. After completion of the entire ordering process you will immediately receive a receipt of the accepted offer/quotation. This confirmation of receipt (the order confirmation) is automatically sent to you by e-mail and therefore in no way qualifies as acceptance of the offer.
The Lease Agreement is established when you accept the offer in our web store, accepting the payment obligation and also agreeing to our T&Cs unless GoShaka revokes the offer within 5 days of your acceptance.
3.3 GoShaka reserves the right, after you have accepted our offer and terms and conditions, to conduct a credit check. Subject to other grounds for rejection, GoShaka is entitled not to accept your acceptance if the results of the credit check prove negative.
3.4 You guarantee the correctness of all data necessary for the ordering process, such as in any case, but not exclusively, your name, (home and delivery) address, e-mail address and bank details. You also guarantee that you have not used any data from third parties.
3.5 GoShaka reserves the right to reject your application without giving reasons, or to accept it only under additional conditions, including but not limited to the charging of (increased) One-time fees.
4 EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT, DURATION
4.1 GoShaka performs the agreement according to the requirements of good craftsmanship. We may use (the services of) third parties in the performance of the agreement.
GoShaka performs the agreement for your benefit only. Third parties cannot derive any rights from (the contents of) the agreement, under any name or title whatsoever.
Execution and delivery deadlines are always indicative. Should GoShaka not meet a certain deadline, this does not entitle you to any kind of compensation.
4.2 GoShaka reserves the right, if the Products selected by you are not available for any reason, to supply other Products of the same kind and similar quality. You have the right to refuse these in writing within a period of 14 days after receipt of the Equipment.
4.3 The Lease Agreement is always entered into for a definite period. The specific Lease Period is always agreed upon individually in the Lease Agreement and may vary from 6 to 24 months.

4.5 During the term of the Lease, you are required to promptly inform GoShaka of any changes of address.
4.6 During the Lease Period, you cannot terminate the Lease Agreement prematurely. At least one (1) month before the end of the Lease Agreement term, you will receive an email from us whether or not you wish to extend your agreement. In case of renewal, your agreement will be converted to an indefinite term agreement with a notice period of one (1) month. If there is no response from you, we will assume that you wish to renew.
4.7 Termination of agreements of indefinite duration as described in the previous paragraph (paragraph 6) must be done in writing by sending an e-mail to info@goshaka.nl and before the first day of a new month. You will also owe the monthly fee for this last month.

In addition, you are required to pay an early termination fee in the amount of 70% of the remaining payments that would result from the remaining term, which will be collected once with the next (collection) payment. This will be determined at the time of written agreement by both parties regarding this interim termination.
5 DELIVERY, SHIPMENT, AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS
5.1 GoShaka delivers exclusively within residential addresses in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and any other countries to which GoShaka offers its services. Requests for deliveries outside this delivery area will not be accepted and will not be processed.
5.2 All products ordered will be shipped to the delivery address you provide, unless expressly agreed otherwise with GoShaka.
5.3 All information on shipments and delivery times as displayed on GoShaka’s website are approximate and are considered indicative. No rights can be derived from this information. GoShaka depends on external suppliers and carriers for the delivery of products.
5.4 If the products selected by you turn out not to be available in the relevant configuration, version or equipment at the time of the Request, GoShaka will notify you in the order confirmation. If the selected products are definitively unavailable, and there is also no suitable alternative available, GoShaka will refrain from accepting the offer. Consequently, no Lease Agreement will be concluded. Any Lease amounts already paid shall be promptly reversed. The above shall not constitute a defect in the agreement on the part of GoShaka.
5.5 GoShaka shall bear the cost of shipping a standard delivery offered by us in our delivery area as referred to in clause 5.1 of these General Terms and Conditions.
5.6 If products sent to you are returned to GoShaka because delivery to you was not possible, the cost of the unsuccessful receipt will be charged to you. This does not apply if you have explicitly exercised your right of withdrawal as referred to in Article 6:230o BW (Dutch Law) or if you are not responsible for the circumstance that led to the impossibility of delivery, unless we have given you reasonable advance notice of the delivery.
5.7 Self collection of the leased products is only possible if this has been explicitly agreed in writing with GoShaka.
5.8 GoShaka reserves the right to verify the identity of the recipient upon delivery of the leased products.

It is possible to give someone as a representative the right of collection. This must be indicated in writing prior to delivery.
6 PRICES
6.1 All prices listed in the web store are in euros (€) and include the applicable statutory value-added tax. The amount of the monthly lease price depends on the chosen term and product composition and is displayed in the ordering process in our web store. This price includes GoShaka’s services, namely the use of the equipment during the validity of the Lease Agreement, shipping and repair costs (minus the deductible described in article 20) and advice.
6.2 GoShaka reserves the right to adjust prices and rates. Without the formation of an agreement, you cannot derive any rights from an offer in the broadest sense of the word.
Adjusting our prices and rates does not affect the prices and rates of existing leases. You are also not entitled to damages or compensation if we adjust our prices or rates downward.
7 PAYMENT, PAYMENT TERMS AND CONSEQUENCES OF LATE PAYMENT
7.1 You owe the lease price over the entire term of the lease agreement. You pay the first, full monthly lease amount at the time you complete the ordering process in the online store and make payment through one of the payment options offered.
7.2 By choosing the SEPA direct debit procedure, you authorize GoShaka to collect payments from your bank account via direct debit.
7.3 In case of a SEPA Direct Debit Order, GoShaka will initiate the debiting of your account at the earliest on the date mentioned in paragraph 1 and then debit the Lease Amount monthly. Your Lease Period may thus commence later than the date on which the payment was made.
7.4 If a direct debit/domiciliation order cannot be executed due to lack of funds or other reasons for which you are responsible, or if the direct debit/domiciliation order is revoked by you, GoShaka will point this out to you. Thereafter, the procedure described in paragraph 5 will take effect.
7.5 The amount due to GoShaka under the lease agreement shall be paid monthly by continuous SEPA direct debit, Paypal or credit card payment. Payment by other means is excluded. In the event of a reversal of the SEPA direct debit, a repeated direct debit order will first be issued after fourteen (14) days. If this repeated direct debit order is also not fulfilled the next phase will take effect. In that case GoShaka will send you a payment reminder giving you the opportunity within fourteen days after receipt of the official payment reminder (14) to still comply properly by paying the amount due in full. If the amount due is not paid within that period, GoShaka reserves the right to engage a collection agency for the outstanding amount on which also legal interest will be calculated from the time you are in default. All additional administrative costs and (extrajudicial) collection costs are for your account, each time with a minimum of €40,00.
7.6 If more than twice within a year a SEPA direct debit is reversed or fails without prior written notice to us by you, you will owe us compensation for the associated administrative costs of €5.00 per reversal, without prejudice to our right to payment of the lease price due and compensation for damages suffered.
7.7 Failure to use the leased products shall not constitute grounds for suspension of the payment obligation.
8 PROPERTY RETENTION
The Equipment remains the full property of GoShaka throughout the Lease Period. Any transfer of ownership of the Leased Products can only take place if you and GoShaka explicitly agree in writing at the end of the Lease Period as referred to in Article 9 of these General Terms and Conditions.
As long as ownership of the Equipment has not passed to you, you are not permitted to pledge this Equipment to third parties or encumber it for the benefit of others.
You give us your unconditional and irrevocable permission, in cases where we wish to exercise our property rights, to enter all those places where our property is then located. We also have the right to take away all our property (Equipment) in that case.
9 OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE
9.1 You will have the opportunity to purchase the leased Equipment or other products after the Lease Agreement expires.
9.2 If you wish to take advantage of this purchase opportunity, you must notify GoShaka no later than seven (7) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Period. You may suffice in this obligation by sending GoShaka’s customer service an email notification of your interest in the purchase. GoShaka will then contact you without delay. The amount for which the products can be taken over should be agreed upon. The (contractual) arrangements for a possible purchase will then be laid down in an exceptional purchase agreement.
9.3 You can also take over the leased Equipment or individual goods thereof before the end of the term if GoShaka agrees to its purchase. The residual amount for the remaining term will thereby lapse.
9.4 GoShaka reserves the right to decline the opportunity to purchase without giving reasons. This applies both during the contract and after the contract expires.
There is no transfer of ownership until you have fulfilled all obligations arising from both the contract and the first right of purchase.

22 CHANGES
We may make amendments to these GTC at any time, provided that the amendments do not affect this Article or any of the principal obligations or charges arising under the Lease Agreement, or the amendments amount to the creation of a new Lease Agreement or a change in charges in excess of the agreed price under the Lease Agreement. The amended terms will be communicated in text form at least six weeks prior to their coming into effect. The changes will be deemed approved if you do not object to them within six weeks of receiving the notification. We will inform you separately about the possibility of objecting and the observance of the deadline.
