  1. THESE TERMS

1.1 What these terms cover. These are the terms and conditions on which we supply goods to you.

1.2 Why you should read them. Please read these terms carefully before you submit your order to us. These terms tell you who we are, how we will provide goods to you, how you and we may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you think that there is a mistake in these terms, please contact us to discuss.

  1. INFORMATION ABOUT US AND HOW TO CONTACT US

2.1 Who we are. We are Mobility Machines Limited, who trade as Mobility Machines. Mobility Machines Limited is a company registered in England and Wales. Our company registration number is 12905639 and our registered office address is, 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom. Our registered VAT number is GB 367623375.

2.2 Contacting us. You can contact us at sales@mobilitymachines.co.uk

2.3 How we may contact you. If we must contact you, we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.

2.4 “Writing” includes emails. When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these terms, this includes emails.

  1. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

3.1 How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email to you or write to you sending the invoice which confirms that we have accepted your order. A contract will come into existence between you and us only when we send you this invoice by way of confirmation.

3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the goods. This might be because the goods you have ordered are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

3.3 Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

3.4 We only sell to the UK. Our website is solely for the promotion of our goods in the UK. Unfortunately, we do not accept orders from or deliver to addresses outside the UK.

  1. OUR GOODS

4.1 Goods may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the goods on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the goods. Your goods, especially refurbished items, may vary slightly from those images. Each refurbished item has been rigorously tested and inspected to ensure it meets high standards for quality and performance. We provide a detailed description of the item’s condition on our website, and by purchasing, the customer acknowledges acceptance of the item “as-is”.

4.2 The packaging of the goods, including refurbished items, may differ from that shown in images on our website.

4.3 All refurbished items come with a stated time-limited warranty, the duration of which is specified at the time of purchase. This warranty is designed to cover defects in materials and workmanship, applicable from the date of purchase and only to the original purchaser. The warranty does not cover damages resulting from accidents, misuse such as riding off kerbs, or improper handling. It also excludes normal wear and tear, unauthorised modifications, and damages caused by failure to follow operating instructions. Regular maintenance as recommended by the manufacturer is required to maintain this warranty. Failure to perform such maintenance will void this warranty.

4.4 It is your responsibility to service the goods regularly. Whether we are supplying you with a new or refurbished mobility scooter or power chair, you should ensure that these items are serviced regularly, usually at least once a year. Please refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines which accompany the goods for specific servicing recommendations. The cost of servicing is to be met by you. Regular servicing is crucial to maintain the item’s condition and operational functionality. For refurbished items, this regular servicing is equally important to uphold the warranty conditions specified at the time of purchase. Failure to service the goods as required may limit your ability to reject them or claim a replacement if the goods develop a fault subsequently.

4.5  To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the provided lithium-ion batteries it is essential to maintain them correctly. You must ensure that any or all lithium-ion batteries provided are kept topped up and charged monthly to ensure that they remain in optimal condition. . Always charge the battery fully after each use, and avoid letting it discharge below 20% to prevent critical battery issues. If the scooter will not be used for an extended period, store the battery at approximately 50% charge in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures. The ideal storage temperature range is between 0°C and 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Regularly charging the battery helps maintain its health, but avoid overcharging or exposing it to high temperatures during charging. It is also important to use the original charger provided by the manufacturer to ensure compatibility and safety.

  1. YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES

5.1 If you wish to make a change to the goods you have ordered, please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If the scooter has not been despatched and if it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the price of the goods, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.

  1. PROVIDING THE GOODS

6.1 Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website or other sales mediums and/or will be factored into the cost of the product where free delivery is included.

6.2 When we will provide the goods. We will deliver the goods to you as soon as reasonably possible and usually within 3 days of confirmation of your order. In any event, delivery will be within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order.

6.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the goods is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any goods you have paid for but not received.

6.4 If you are not at home when the goods are delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the goods cannot be posted through your letterbox, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the goods from a local depot.

6.5 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the goods from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 9.2 will apply.

6.6 Your legal rights if we deliver late. You have legal rights if we deliver any goods late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any goods, then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:

(a) We have refused to deliver the goods;

(b) Delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

(c) You told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

6.7 Setting a new deadline for delivery. If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under Clause 6.6, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be within a reasonable time period, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.

6.8 Ending the contract for late delivery. If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under Clause 6.6 or Clause 6.7, you can cancel your order for any of the goods or reject goods that have been delivered. If your order is for more than one item, if you wish you can reject or cancel the order for some of those goods (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled goods and their delivery. If the goods have been delivered to you, you must either post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection. Please contact us via email or through our website.

6.9 When you become responsible for the goods. The goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the goods to the address you gave us.

6.10 When you own goods. You own the goods once we have received payment in full.

6.11 What will happen if you do not give the required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the goods to you, for example, a VAT Relief form. If information is required from you this will be stated on our website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 9.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the goods late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

6.12 Reasons we may suspend the supply of goods to you. We may have to suspend the supply of goods to:

(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes; or

(b) update the goods to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.

6.13 Your rights if we suspend the supply of goods. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the goods unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the contract for any goods if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than twenty-one (21) days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the goods.

6.14 We may also suspend supply of the goods if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the goods when you are supposed to (see clause 11.4) and you still do not make payment within seven (7) days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the goods until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the goods. We will not suspend the goods where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 11.6). As well as suspending the goods we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 11.5).

(b)The goods are sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them;

Regardless of whether the goods are new or refurbished, if you are responsible for returning them yourself, you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.

8.6 Deductions from refunds. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

(b) The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

8.7 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then:

(a) If we have not offered to collect the goods, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the goods back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the goods back to us.

  1. PRICE AND PAYMENT

11.1 Where to find the price for the goods. The price of the goods (which includes VAT if VAT is chargeable on the goods) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We use our best efforts to ensure that the price of the goods advised to you is correct. However please see clause 11.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the goods you order.

11.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the goods, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the goods in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

11.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated in our price list, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

11.4 Payment for your purchase is required prior to dispatch. We gladly accept a variety of payment methods for your convenience. You can choose to pay using any major Credit or Debit card, including VISA, MasterCard, Maestro, Solo, and Switch.

Our total liability to you for all losses arising under or in connection with the contract, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall be limited to the total cost of the goods or services purchased. This does not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information we provided to you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

  1. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

14.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

14.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.

14.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

14.5 Even if we delay in enforcing the contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you do not make payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the goods, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

14.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts.
