– Use reasonable care and skill when providing the bicycle Inspection service.
– Carry out the Inspection within a reasonable time of receiving your booking and payment. Any dates discussed with You for the carrying out of the bicycle Inspection and production of our Report will be estimated dates only and not a guarantee of such dates.
– Provide You with the Report by email. On rare occasions an email can get delayed, missed or sent to a junk folder, therefore You are responsible for taking any steps necessary to ensure the receipt of Our email and checking your junk folder. On request, we will provide You with a hard copy of the Report by first class post. We shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Report resulting from matters beyond our control, including postal strike, delays or loss of the Report by third parties. In the event that You have not received your Report You must notify Us as soon as possible in order that we can resend this to You.
Co-operate fully with Us and provide all information reasonably required.
Present the bicycle in an un-laden, reasonably clean, roadworthy and rideable condition at the address provided at the time of the booking.
Ensure that there is made available to Us all facilities reasonably required by us to perform the Inspection, in particular that the bicycle is located on a hard level surface (not on a public highway) so that We can walk around the bicycle.
Obtain all necessary permissions, licenses and consents (such as notifying and agreeing with the vendor the date and location of Our visit) that may be required to enable Us to perform the Inspection, the cost of which (if any) shall be your sole responsibility.
Failure to meet these obligations may mean that the Inspection cannot be carried out in full or in part on the date booked and We reserve the right to charge the full fee.
We do not analyse, dismantle or remove any part or component or mechanism from the bicycle when carrying out the Inspection and therefore We do not accept liability for defects which arise in any part of the bicycle which is not included in the Inspection, or not reasonably apparent or capable of identification at the time of Inspection, nor for latent defects which are later discovered, nor for defects which arise after the Inspection if they were not reasonably detectable at the time the Inspection was carried out.
A lack of defect in any part of the bicycle at the time of the Inspection does not constitute a warranty or guarantee of durability in any part of the bicycle, nor is it a guarantee against defects arising in the future.
We cannot accept liability for defects not reasonably apparent in bicycles which are over 4 years old or have been subject to abnormal use which is not apparent during Our Inspection and is not drawn to Our attention. You accept that such bicycles are more prone than usual to latent defects.
The Inspection is not a substitute for regular maintenance.
We are unable to provide any diagnostics of onboard electrical equipment.
An Inspection can only be provided during daylight hours in good weather conditions. Poor weather conditions or visibility may mean the Inspection is restricted. The quality of image of any photos may be limited by inspection conditions or the environment. Images will only be captured where this adds value to the Report and shall be at the discretion of the Inspector.
Due to the visual nature of Our Inspection, it may not be possible to carry out all checks in all cases. Items which are not reasonably accessible will not be inspected. In such circumstances We will be under no obligation to inspect and/or report on the part/item in question and will mark the relevant section of the Report accordingly.
In the event that We are unable to carry out any element of the Inspection due to circumstances beyond Our reasonable control or because You have not carried out your obligations above, We will not refund any part of the Inspection fee.
