without prejudice
The company does insist that its dealer shall
cooperate with the end user and whilst some items that may genuinely not be
warranty for whatever reason both the company and its dealers should err more
generously but not exclusively to the customers benefit. Users who obviously abuse this generosity
may be excluded from this policy. Accident damage or reckless tampering is of
course excluded. Goodwill and cooperation between the company and user is desirable. At all
times the company is aware that disabled and elderly users do rely heavily on
this product and the company will endeavor to make prompt and timely repairs
The user should understand that due to the ever rising costs of
suitably qualified tradesmen and running costs of vehicles along with the obvious financial constraints of the
majority of users it is not commercially viable to have excess mechanics and vehicles
ready and waiting whilst maintaining relatively ongoing low service charges
The company appreciates the frustrations
experienced in life as a whole by some of our users and with many years of
experience we can easily help you cope. However we suggest that cooperation and
understanding will achieve more than a cranky outburst against the very people
that are employed to assist you
The warranty is a return to base warranty and a
call out fee can be charged for on site service or collection. In many instances
a person may be confused about the operation of the scooter or its systems. This
callout might be considered an education of the user rather than a warranty
fault. In some cases and at the companies discretion the user may receive a
waiver on the callout fee on up to two occasions during the
warranty term. This applies to only users in the dealers local service area who
purchased the scooter new. Users
who obviously abuse this policy may be excluded
The company will cooperate with remote area and
regional users on the following basis
The user could at all times after receiving a
warranty return advice transport the scooter at the users cost to the dealer for
service or repair
The user with the assistance of a local competent
mechanical person or auto electrician could cooperate with the dealer in
resolving most issue locally. Data suggests that almost all issues are usually
of a minor nature. The company will provide parts and expert advice and may
provide the postage on those parts. The company or its dealers are not liable
for the users local costs

3 Year Warranty.
It has come to our attention that some customers
believe a particular make of scooter has a 3 year warranty only to find out
later it doesn't or the terms and conditions are so complex as to make the
warranty worthless. Many companies actively promote that this product has a 3
year warranty at the point of sale as the reason to prefer this brand. I know of many instances where the customers were sure that
a common failure (say electronic controller) is covered because they have a 3 year warranty. We certainly
take no pleasure in pointing out why it is that there is no warranty on say that
part. Usually these warranties are provided in several
parts. The 3 year part applies only to the actual steel chassis. Might as well
give a 10 year warranty. Its doesn't fail on any scooter. Meanwhile other parts are
covered for far less time with ambiguous claims procedures or not at all. Particularly batteries, chargers,
motors and
electronics. The expensive bits that are more likely to fail. Whilst this is not
illegal it certainly might be considered low on ethics at best.
Long ago we chose to cease dealing in products
that are warranted this way. We take pride in our reputation as a reliable and
honest business operating for the past 23 years and it just isn't worth the consumer complaints. You
can be certain that the Quality Care warranty we offer will be genuine and
worthwhile on products that stand the test of true quality and durability.

What happens if my dealer will no longer honour the warranty or provide
service and parts.
This has become a major concern in our industry as dealers and dealer
networks fail or face closure. So many operators entered our industry on
the back of cheap imitation or copy product and very few have survived
or can cope with the amount of issues these cheaper products have.
Factories have closed and so no parts or technical support may be
available. Of course this is why we say deal with us. Experts
in quality products since 1990. But if you didn't. No problem. Our
workshops can do more than 90% of repairs or maintenance on most brands
and even no name scooters. Of course there is a fee for this service but
so many people tell us we are such good value.
