BUY & TEST OFFER

At PRIDEON, we do things differently. That’s why we don’t have a “Test & Buy” offer, but instead a “Buy & Test” offer.

What is the Buy & Test offer?

It’s simple: with Buy & Test, you buy the ski first and then test it. If you don’t like it, you can return it to us and get your money back, minus a test fee.

Why Buy & Test instead of Test & Buy?

As a small manufacturer with limited-edition skis, we can’t operate multiple test centers near you. Buy & Test is our online version of a test center. The best part? You can test the skis where you feel most comfortable!

How does the Buy & Test offer work?

  1. Before you buy: Select the “Buy & Test offer” checkbox on the product page. This automatically adds you to the program.
  2. Before testing: Once the skis arrive, take them to a trusted ski shop to have the bindings adjusted. We can’t do this for you, as the binding needs to be set using your specific ski boot.
  3. Testing: Enjoy a great ski day and test the skis thoroughly. Note: You can only test the skis for up to 2 days.
  4. Decision time: If you love the skis, keep them! If you want to return them, contact us to arrange the return. After inspection, we’ll refund your payment minus a €100 test fee and any charges for damage.

Costs and Conditions

Costs

  • Test fee: If you return the skis, €100 will be deducted from your refund.
  • Damage fees: You’ll be charged for any damages you cause. Here’s an overview:
    • Base: Surface scratches are fine and won’t be charged. Damage that exposes the core will render the ski unusable. In the worst case, the full ski price may be charged.
    • Edges: Normal wear is fine. Edge damage from stones can make the ski unusable, potentially leading to full ski replacement costs.
    • Top sheet: Minor cosmetic scratches are fine. Major scratches or gouges may reduce the refund by €50–€300.
    • Binding: Rarely damaged. If irreparable, the binding replacement cost is €350.

Optional Damage Waiver

We recommend adding the optional damage waiver for extra peace of mind.

Additional Conditions

  • No Ski Service: If the skis are serviced by someone else, the Buy & Test offer becomes void. We can tell if the skis have been serviced externally.
  • Fair Use: The offer covers 2 ski days only. Using the skis longer than 2 days voids the return policy. Extensive use is easy to spot.
  • Return Shipping: Return shipping with DPD from Germany or Austria is included in the test fee. You can arrange your own return at your expense. For returns from other countries, we’ll cover €25 of the return shipping cost. You’ll be informed of any extra fees deducted from your refund.
  • EU Only: The Buy & Test offer is valid within the EU only.
  • Review Program: By choosing Buy & Test, you agree to be contacted for a review or testimonial.

Final Thoughts

The conditions may seem strict, but don’t worry. We handle ski tests frequently at our rental shop, “Sport Nenner,” in Hintertux. If you treat the skis like your own, there’s rarely any problem. We strongly recommend the optional damage waiver if you don’t have ski insurance. Accidents can happen, and it’s better to be safe!
