Ordering online from The GO! Store: is it safe? In a word: Yes.

As a member of the Yahoo! Shopping network, we (and you) are protected by Yahoo's secure server:Yahoo! Shopping uses secure servers to protect your personal information, including your name, address, and credit card information. Yahoo uses the Stronghold secure server, currently the second-best selling secure server software and, in our opinion, the best product technically. It supports industry-standard 128-bit SSL encryption. When you enter your credit card number into the order form, it is transmitted across the Internet in an encrypted (scrambled) form and not decoded until we receive it. For added security, Yahoo also encrypts the credit card number when it is sent it to the merchant. As the merchant, we do not store your credit card information at all (after your card is charged, the information is deleted from our system.) Shopping online is considered low-risk. According to CNN, "The prevalent opinion... is that online credit card use is actually no riskier for consumers than traditional 'low-tech' transactions." You should feel as safe as you would using a credit card in a store or restaurant, if not more so.

STATE LAWS/LEGAL STATUS


It is the customer's responsibility to determine the laws concerning scooters in their county/state. We make no claims as to the legality of owning and operating any scooter. Please check your state and local scooter laws and insurance requirements before purchasing your scooter (See links below.) We will not accept any scooter returns based on unsatisfactory legal status. To check the legal status of scooters in your area, we recommend that you contact your state legislature, local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or insurance agent. YOUR INSURANCE POLICIES MAY NOT PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THE USE OF THIS SCOOTER. TO DETERMINE IF COVERAGE IS PROVIDED, YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY OR AGENT. For items not street legal (pocket bikes, gas scooters in some states, two-stroke engines in some states, etc.): By purchasing one you are agreeing to use it only as legally allowed: for closed track (private property) and/or formal competition use. Those items are not for sale, resale, or use within the State of California other than for closed course (private property) competition purposes.

What if I find out after I purchase my item that it is not legal in my area or has other restrictions at my location?

We will not accept any returns based on unsatisfactory legal status. It is your responsibility to check the legal status of motorized scooters in your area. You should contact your state and local legislature and local Department of Motor Vehicles for current laws.

SHIPPING:

Orders are processed daily with daily outgoing freight shipments. Depending on stock, backlog and your location, freight shipment may take between 3-14 days after your payment has cleared. The warehouse will email us tracking information as soon as your order ships. As soon as we receieve it, we will email you with this tracking information and instructions on how to use it to track your order all the way to its delivery to your home or business. We ship within the continental USA only. S/H fees are part of the final purchasing agreement, are non-refundable and are not negotiable.

SHIPPING DAMAGE: What do I do if my purchase arrives damaged?  

The GO! Store is not responsible for shipping damages and we do not accept returns or provide refunds due to freight damaged goods. You should inspect your item for damages when it arrives. If your item is damaged during shipping, it is your responsibility to file a claim with the freight company. The GO! Store will assist and cooperate with you during the claim process, but it is your responsibility to file the claim, submit the requirements for the claim, and follow the claim through to its resolution.

WARRANTY:
 
All of our products ship with the warranty from the manufacturer of the scooter: this is a 30 days parts warranty on all scooters (as long as the scooter has been operated and maintained according to the recommendations of the manufacturer.) This means replacement parts are shipped without charge, but it is customer's responsibility to physically install the replacement parts or bring your vehicle in for service. Warranty period starts from the date you receive your vehicle. Warranty covers factory defects and defaults only. We do not cover misuse or broken parts caused by the user or by any other event. All scooters come with a manufacturer warranty. This warranty covers parts only, there is no labor coverage whatsoever even if it's a problem out of the box. Loose parts that fall off are not covered under warranty. Please insure that all the nuts and bolts, locks, fuse covers and other parts and properly fastened prior to usage.  This is a part only warranty; we do not pay for labor.

Shipping damages are not covered by our warranty. If shipping damage occurs, you will have to file a claim with the shipping company. They will reimburse The GO! Store of the estimated damage amount, and we will use that to send you replacement parts at no cost to you. Please inspect your package as soon as it arrives before the driver leaves. Note that if the box or scooter appears damaged upon arrival you have the right to refuse to accept the package, and we recommend you do so in such a case; make sure to note the damage in the Bill of Lading and hand it back to the driver.

We guarantee our products from manufacture defects within the first 30 days of placing your order. This warranty covers factory defects and defaults only. We do not cover misuse or broken parts caused by the user or by any other event. The GO! Store will be responsible for the shipping costs on the first warranty shipment only. Any additional warranty parts that are needed will require the customer to pay all shipping and handling costs. We may require the original part be returned to us with a copy of the invoice and a brief statement indicating the defective nature of the merchandise. Upon arrival, we will verify the defect. Please note, items are covered for regular use, if we find the cause to be from misuse or abuse the item(s) may be outside the warranty and the customer may incurr repair charges. Replacement parts are shipped without charge, but it is customer's responsibility to physically install the replacement parts. If it is necessary for the full product to be returned for repair or replacement, customers are responsible for the shipping cost to and from

This warrantee covers any failures due to manufacturer's defects. It does not cover abuse or misuse of the scooter (for example, damages incurred while jumping or incorrect gas/oil mixture.) The warranty covers against all defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 30 days from the date of purchase or 1000 Km, whichever occurs first, subject only to the following conditions and exclusions:
a) To present a claim, customer shall deliver the defective part for exchange to the GO! Store.
b) This limited warranty is applicable only to the customer as an original purchaser of the "product" from The GO! Store and shall not apply to any subsequent purchaser, assignee or other recipient of the scooter from customer. 
c) All transportation costs and shipping damage incurred while submitting parts for repair or replacement are the responsibility of the original purchaser. Any damage during shipping of scooter to customer on initial purchase must be claimed by the customer through the freight delivery company and is not the responsibility of The GO! Store.

The following wear and tear parts are not covered under the warranty: Tires, flats, bulbs, brakes, chain and seat. Damage due to mishandling, misassembly, misuse, abuse, accident, collision or any other cause with the exception of manufacturer defect is not covered by the warranty. Do not attempt to fix, modify or disassemble any part on your own as this will void your warranty.

(3) The product receives all necessary maintenance and adjustments.

  2. Pull starters are not covered. This item is expected to break after several uses. Owners should keep this spare part on hand.

WRONG ITEM RECEIVED: If we shipped you the wrong merchandise (to the exception of wrong color) we will pay for the return shipping and ship you the correct item at no additional charge.  In this case, you will not be held responsible for any shipping damage during the return trip.  If you receive the wrong scooter, please do not assemble it or put gas as you will not be able to return it. If we shipped you the wrong color, we will make it up to you with a $20 refund, no return or exchange. Our color shipping accuracy is around 95%.

REFUSED SHIPMENT POLICY: If you refuse your shipment, upon reception of the refused merchandise, we will issue a credit for the purchase price less the shipping and handling cost. The minimum shipping and handling cost is $50 even on scooters that are sold with free shipping. We may apply a 15% restocking fee on refused orders if we determine the refused scooter was not functionally damaged (i.e, minor cosmetic damage does not count as "damamged during shipping".)

SPECIFICATIONS: All scooters specifications are based on the information given by the manufacturer and the manual provided with the scooter. We do not make any claim as to the accuracy of the specifications listed on this site. We do our best to give the most accurate information possible. We are not responsible for any errors regardless of the source, including but not limited to typing errors, misprint, omissions. We do guarantee that you will receive a scooter that is the same as the picture shown to the exception of the color and a few details as manufacturers may change specifications from one shipment to the next.

Refunds/Return Policy/Exchanges:

Refunds:  As per the sales policies of most cycle and ATV shops in the country, once a vehicle has shipped, there are no refunds.  The cost associated with shipping an ATV or Scooter back and forth across the country and the low sales price makes this policy necessary. No returns are accepted. If the scooter is damaged in shipping, you must make a claim with the shipping company. Manufactures defects will only be covered by warranty. There are absolutely no refunds for any fueled items or used items regardless of damage or performance, all sales are FINAL.  We do not accept returns, exchanges, or trade-ins. All items come with the warranty from the Manufacturer or Importer  (one month parts, returns accepted only in the case of provable manufacturer's defect.) There are no cash refunds; orders can be exchanged for the same items only, and only if they cannot be fixed by newly sent parts. In the rare case a scooter is so provably defective that new parts will not get it to working order, shipped merchandise must be shipped back to the manufacturer. If a refund is requested instead of a replacement we will charge a 25% restocking fee. If we determine the returned item is NOT defective, no refund will be issued. Any refund made will be minus shipping and handling costs. Shipping and handling costs are non-refundable.  Vehicles that are assembled, fueled or used cannot be returned. We will not accept any items returns based on unsatisfactory legal status. Please check the legal status of scooters in your area, and you may contact your state legislature and local Department of Motor Vehicles. HR 727, The Federal Electric Bicycle Law (which may supercedes any State law or requirement with respect to low-speed electric bicycles) states that electric scooters (covered in the law) are considered bicycles and are allowed anywhere a bicycle is allowed.

Can I return or trade-in my scooter?
All sales are final. We do not accept returns, exchanges, or trade-ins.

What if my item has a manufacturer defect?
We accept returns in the case of provable manufacturer's defects, within seven days of the day you receive your product. In the event of manufacturer's defects, the item will be replaced with a working item of the same model.

What if I want a refund instead of a replacement due to a manufacturer defect?
If a refund is requested instead of a replacement we will charge a 25% restocking fee plus return shipping charges.

We can accept returns on manufacturer defects ONLY, within 7 days of the day you receive your product, provided the item is in 100% new condition. All items must be returned in their original packaging. You must include with your return all original equipment, components, manuals, cables, documents, packaging, and accessories. You will be charged for the replacement cost of any missing items.

Who pays for shipping to replace a defective item or return product?
The buyer is solely responsible for all return shipping and handling costs on any defective item or returned product. Shipping and handling costs are non-refundable. All returns are subject to a 25% re-stocking fee. Items with free shipping are also subject to a 25% restocking fee.

Since The GO! Store is not the manufacturer, we share the shipping cost with the buyer. The buyer pays for shipping the defective item to The GO! Store and The GO! Store pays to ship the replacement back to the buyer. The GO! Store is a store, and similar to stores like Wal-Mart, we do not send a driver to your home to pick up defective items and we do not reimburse you for the time, effort, and money you spent to get your replacement or refund. The GO! Store's professional customer service department will utilize its best effort to replace your item in a timely and efficient manner.
