RESERVATION PROCESS ON THE WEBSITE
- The Website is available in France and in French. By changing the language, You will be redirected to another site of the Zapp Group subject to other T&Cs.
- The presentation of Products by Zapp on the Website does not constitute an offer in the legal sense of the term, but a simple invitation to make an offer to purchase a Vehicle or an Accessory.
- You can select a Vehicle model and configure it, following the different steps and/or select Accessories. By clicking on the "Add to Basket" button, You can place the Vehicle and Accessories in Your shopping basket.
- An order summary allows You to obtain (i) a visual overview of the selected and configured Vehicle, (ii) a list of equipment, options, and accessories, (iii) technical information and details, (iv) availability and (v) price details and reservation fees. You can also choose your financing solution:
- If you choose to apply for a credit, you are then redirected to Our Credit Partner's page. Zapp is not a party to the credit contract between You and the Credit Partner.
- If you choose to pay cash, You are invited to enter Your personal data: first name, last name, email address, mobile phone number.
- In the delivery section, You can enter the place of delivery of the Products. You are also invited to provide the data relating to invoicing, and in particular the postal address that will appear on the invoice, if this is different from the delivery address.
- You must then select Your payment methods among those provided by our payment provider. This reservation does not constitute a deposit.
-
By clicking on "Order with payment obligation", You validate Your reservation. If the reservation is successful, You will be redirected to the confirmation page.
After making the reservation, We will email You an automatic summary which does not constitute a legally binding acceptance of Your booking.
-
You will be contacted to confirm the order which also depends on the acceptance of the payment made.
If You confirm Your order, the reservation fees will be deducted from the final price due for the Vehicle. A confirmation will be sent to You by email and the Contract of Sale will be deemed to be concluded. The order confirmation also includes the T&Cs applicable at the time of the final conclusion of the Contract.
When the Products become ready, You will be contacted to book a delivery date.
- You can consult all Your orders placed in Your Zapp Account. You can cancel your reservation or Pre-order Voucher at any time until the order confirmation.

PURCHASING PRODUCTS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A ZAPP AGENT
- To purchase Products, You can also go to one of the Zapp Showrooms where You will be welcomed by a Zapp Agent who, equipped with a tablet, will assist You in placing Your order, choosing the Vehicle and/or its Accessories via the Website. No purchase can be made directly on site.
- If Your order is placed with the help of a Zapp Agent, the contractual offer for the Vehicle and, if applicable, the Accessories is made by signing the order on the Zapp Agent's tablet.
PAYMENT
- In accordance with point IV, in case of cash payment, the full payment of the total purchase price is due one (1) week before the agreed delivery date of the Vehicle. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the bank transfer has been received within this period. Failure to do so will result in the Vehicle not being delivered on the agreed date and the delivery of the Accessories being delayed accordingly.
- In accordance with Point IV, in case of a payment accepted and granted by Our Credit Partner, the full payment will be cashed out before the agreed delivery date of the Vehicle. The payment due to the Credit Partner will however be cashed out from the Consumer on the sole basis agreed between the Credit Partner and the Consumer.
DELIVERY TIME – LATE DELIVERY – FORCE MAJEURE
- We will provide You with an estimated delivery time and a maximum delivery date for Your Vehicle. These dates are set out on Our Website, in the shopping basket, in the summary of Your booking and/or in the email confirmation. The delivery time is estimated at the time the Contract is concluded. You will be contacted closing to the delivery period to schedule delivery of the Vehicle.
- However, if no estimated delivery time has been specified, the Vehicle will be delivered within a reasonable period of time which, under normal circumstances, is twelve (12) weeks for new Vehicles in stock and up to 16 weeks for customized Vehicles.
- In the event of a delay in delivery, We will inform You as soon as possible.
-
In the event of difficulties arising from the occurrence of an event of force majeure as defined by the case law of the French courts, Zapp is released from its obligation to deliver for the duration and to the extent that the non-performance is caused by the occurrence of the said event. The dates and deadlines indicated in this point are extended by a period corresponding to the time during which the said event prevents delivery.
We shall inform You without delay of the occurrence and end of an event of force majeure, and We shall make Our best efforts to limit its effects. If such disruption results in a suspension of performance for four (4) months or more, both Parties shall have the right to terminate the Contract. Payments made will be refunded.
DELIVERY AND CHANGES TO THE ORDER BEFORE DELIVERY, NON-ACCEPTANCE
- In the case of home delivery of Your Vehicle, We will inform You when Your Vehicle is ready for delivery.
- Rescheduling or cancelling a reserved Vehicle delivery appointment does not relieve You of Your obligation to pay the agreed price in accordance with point VI.
- In the event of an error in contact details or in the event of absence or of unjustified refusal to accept the Product which results in the return of the Vehicle and/or Accessories, storage costs and all related costs as well as the cost of re-shipment will be at Your sole expense. In the event of any rearrangement of the delivery, Your Zapper will contact You to determine a new delivery date.
- You must check the condition of the Products on delivery and make any useful reservations on the delivery note, at Your Zapper. In particular, You should check the general condition of the Vehicle: the bodywork, upholstery, front and rear lights, indicators, mirrors and that all the Accessories are present.
LEGAL GUARANTEES
-
You benefit from legal guarantees, namely the legal guarantee of conformity (art. L. 217-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the legal guarantee against hidden defects (art. 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), in the event of a defect in the Product purchased.
Legal guarantee of conformity
The rights mentioned below result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code. A non-conforming Product is a Product that You cannot use normally, whose functions or qualities do not correspond to Our description or to what has been announced, the Product does not have the characteristics that You have agreed with Us or does not correspond to the specific use that You are looking for and that You have communicated to Us.
You have two years from the date of delivery to make a claim. During this period, You are only required to establish the existence of a defect and not the date of its appearance.
The Legal Warranty of Conformity gives You the right to have the Product repaired within thirty (30) days of Your request, free of charge and without major inconvenience to You. If the Product is repaired under this Warranty, You will receive a six (6) months extension to the original warranty. If You request the repair of the Product, but We can only replace it, the Legal Warranty of Conformity is renewed for a further two (2) years from the date of replacement of the Product.
You may also obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the Product or terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund in exchange for the Product, if:
-
We cannot repair the defect or replace the product;
-
The repair or replacement of the Product takes place after a period of thirty (30) days;
-
The repair or replacement of the Product causes You significant inconvenience, including where You permanently bear the cost of taking back or removing the non-conforming Product, or if You bear the cost of installing the repaired or replaced Product;
-
The non-conformity of the Product persists despite Our unsuccessful attempt to make it conform.
The Consumer is also entitled to a price reduction or termination of the contract where the defect is so serious as to justify an immediate price reduction or termination of the contract. In such cases, you are not obliged to request repair or replacement of the product beforehand.
You do not have the right to terminate the contract if We have proved that the defect is minor.
Any period during which the Product is out of service while it is being repaired will suspend the remaining warranty until the repaired Product is delivered.
Legal Guarantee against Hidden Defects
In application of articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, Consumers and professional customers also benefit from the Guarantee against hidden defects which manifests itself when the Product is unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which diminishes this use so much that You would not have acquired it or would have given only a lower price for it, if You had known about them.
A defect is said to be hidden when You do not detect it during a simple examination. You have two (2) years from the date of its discovery to act against it. In any case, you must provide proof of the hidden defect (i.e., an expert opinion). In this situation, You have the choice between keeping the Product and obtaining a partial refund of the purchase price or returning it to us and obtaining a full refund of the purchase price.
-
If a lack of conformity or a defect affecting one or more Products is found within the above-mentioned period, and as soon as the defect or defect is found, the Customer shall notify Zapp :
- By post: Zapp Electric Vehicles (Ireland) Limited - First Floor, Penrose 2, Penrose Dock, Cork, T23 YY09, Ireland

- If parts are replaced on the Vehicle, they become the property of Zapp. You may assert claims for material defects based on the Replacement Parts Agreement until the expiry of the limitation period of the purchased Vehicle.
- Repair claims are not affected by the change of ownership of the Vehicle.
COMMERCIAL WARRANTY - WEAR AND TEAR
- In addition to Your statutory warranty rights, Our Vehicles are covered by an additional new vehicle warranty provided by Zapp. The terms of the warranty will be delivered to You at the latest with the Vehicle.
- Our Vehicles may also be covered by additional warranties or extended service warranties, or any other services you may subscribe to, subject to the terms of such additional warranties or services which are available to you at the time of purchase and will be delivered to You at the latest with the Vehicle.
RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
- As long as You are a Consumer and You have concluded the Contract via the Website, You have a legal right of withdrawal.
- You have a period of fourteen (14) days to exercise Your right of withdrawal, without any reason. This period starts from the date of delivery of the Product, i.e., the day on which You or the third party that You have designated takes physical possession of the Product.

If the value of the Products returned by You is diminished by any amount as a result of the handling of those Products by You beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Products, we may recover that amount from You up to the contract price. We may recover that amount by deducting it from any refund due to You or require You to pay that amount direct to Us.
RETENTION OF OWNERSHIP
