INFORMATION ABOUT US AND HOW TO CONTACT US
- 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.
- Contacting us. You can contact us at sales@mobilitymachines.co.uk
- 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.
- “Writing” includes emails. When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these terms, this includes emails.
-
OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
- How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we send you an invoice confirming that we have accepted your order. This confirmation can occur through an automatic invoice generated by our website, an email or written communication, a verbal confirmation during a phone call, or a confirmation sent through any third-party e-commerce platform. A contract will come into existence between you and us only when we send you this invoice by way of confirmation, or when we verbally confirm your order during a phone call.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

OUR GOODS
- 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 the colours shown on your screen accurately reflect the colours of the goods. Your goods, whether new or refurbished, may vary slightly from those images.
- Packaging of the goods. The packaging of the goods, including refurbished items, may differ from that shown in images on our website.
- Warranty on refurbished items. 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.
- Responsibility for servicing. 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.
- Lithium-ion battery maintenance. 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 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.
-
REFURBISHED ITEMS
- Condition and acceptance of refurbished items. 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. By purchasing, the customer acknowledges the item’s described condition. This does not affect your statutory rights regarding items that are faulty or not as described.
- Warranty on refurbished items. 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.

YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES
- If you wish to make a change to the goods you have ordered, please contact us. This applies to orders made through our website, direct sales via phone, email, or messaging, and orders placed through other e-commerce platforms. We will let you know if the change is possible.

- We are not responsible for delays outside our control.

- 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 10.2 will apply.
- 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.
- Setting a new deadline for delivery.

- Ending the contract for late delivery. If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under Clause 7.6 or Clause 7.7, 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.

- When you own goods. You own the goods once we have received payment in full.
- 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 10.2 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.
- 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.
- 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.

- We may also suspend the 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 12.4) and you still do not make payment within seven (7) days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend the supply of the goods until you have paid us the outstanding amounts.
