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.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

day you receive your product, provided the item is in 100% new

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.

are wheeled vehicles. Riding a wheeled vehicle contains certain
inherent risks. Riding a bike, skates or a skateboard can have similar
risks as riding an gas/electric scooter. Riding a gas or electric
scooter can be dangerous and possible injury or even death.

gas/electric scooter. Be sure to always wear the chinstrap securely
buckled. Failure to wear an approved helmet may result in serious
injury or death. Riding at dusk, after dark, or at times of poor
visibility is dangerous
and can result in serious injury or death since cars and other vehicles
may not see an gas/electric scooter rider. An gas/electric scooter
rider may not be able to see obstacles in the path after dark. These
gas/electric scooters are to be used properly by the scooter
rider. We are not responsible for any injury or possible related issues.
