Terms and Conditions

The Mybility Warranty

Updated  2023

The DL range of chairs has a 10 year frame warranty, 5 years for the driving controller system, drive motors, actuators and seat. These warranties are supplied and mai trained by Mybility. The batteries, tyres, charger, soft knee brace, chest harness and cushions are not covered in the warranty.

The warranty is assigned to the individual named in the Mybility invoice. The Warranty can only be transferred to a new owner after inspection of the wheelchair and approval from Mybility.

This warranty covers faults that occur in normal operation of the wheelchair. The warranty does not cover faults caused by normal wear and improper or lack of maintenance as indicated in the owner’s manual and the service instructions.

Furthermore, the warranty does not cover faults originating from overloading or incorrect programming. The warranty does not cover wear and tear or accessories.

Normal wear occurs in parts such as tyres, rubber mountings, leaf springs, joints and slide surfaces. Increased noise of the driving motors is also caused by normal wear.

Faults and issues must be reported immediately to Mybility UK Ltd in writing and immediate action taken to repair the issue by Mybility, or an authorised agent, to prevent any further damage. Failure to do so may void the warranty.

Indirect expenses or transportation costs incurred in dealing with faults are not included in the warranty.

The warranty is only valid if Mybility UK Ltd carries out a yearly service or a Mybility and Chasswheel joint authorised service engineer, and covers the chair under normal operating conditions. Repairs or alterations  by non authorised service or repair agent may lead to further damage and will void the warranty. The yearly service is timed from the manufacturing date of the wheelchair shown on the chassis plate.

Please see our book a service page at the top of the website for further details – https://www.mybility.co.uk/book-a-service/

Written permission must be sought for any work carried out to the wheelchair, other than that allowed in the manufacturers manual,  failure to do so will void the warranty.

During the service the wheelchair must be brought up to manufactures specifications. Any damaged parts or issues which are assessed to potentially cause problems will be dealt with during the service and charged.

Failure to keep the wheelchair up to manufacturers standard specifications will void the Mybility warranty.

We are always happy to advise if there are any questions regarding your wheelchair and the warranty.

A storage and maintenance charge of £25 per week will be levied if the wheelchair has to be kept in the workshop due to non payment of services, goods or repairs for over 2 weeks from invoice date. The storage charge will also be levied if the wheelchairs are left with us for another reason. We may use our discretion with this.

Failure to pay a service invoice will invalidate the warranty, once payment is made the warranty may be reinstated by arrangement.

Only use the wheelchair charger supplied with your wheelchair, the new Powercharge chargers have safety protocols  and advanced charging systems to protect and prolong your batteries. The charger should be brought in when the wheelchair is due for service, so it can be checked and the charging regime monitored.

Where applicable the manufacturers warranty terms and procedures take precedence over the Mybility warranty.

Charging Batteries important information

All wheelchair batteries need to be used (driven) and charged on a regular basis. The worst possible thing for wheelchair batteries is to be stood unused. Ideally the wheelchair should be driven twice a week for a minimum of one hour, preferably every day. The wheelchair should then be plugged in to charge.

Charging happens in two parts;

1) Bulk Charge. When you put the wheelchair on to charge it will after a time indicate it is fully charged usually indicated by a green light on the charger. This is the end of the bulk charge not the end of charging. Caution this does not mean the process is finished.

2)Trickle Charge. Continue allowing the batteries to charge do not disconnect from mains. What happens after bulk charge is finished is the trickle charge which is designed to balance out the batteries, this greatly extend their life span.

Failure to balance the batteries will degrade and shorten their lifespan conciderably. The batteries should last 3 years depending on charging and usage – please ask for more details as required.

Poor usage and charging regime will shorten the life of the batteries considerably. CAUTION do not charge more than 24 hours unless you are using the Powercharge Battery Charger, which has safety cutouts. Please read the Powercharge manual that came with your Aura charger. DO NOT LEAVE WHEELCHAIR PERMANENTLY ON CHARGE.

Wheelchair Storage

To protect the wheelchair and control systems it is advised that the wheelchair be stored at room temperature to prevent moisture and condensation from degrading the wheelchair. The wheelchair should be cleaned of debris, mud, sand etc on a regular basis to protective chassis and avoid rust, and sprayed with the maintenance spray provided. Poor storage conditions will advance wear and tear and degrade you wheelchair, which will not be covered under the warranty. Please contact Mybility for any advise and recommendations so that you store your wheelchair correctly.

Details from the charger manufacturers

Regular using and charging will definitely help to prolong the battery life time and to keep the best possible capacity, and when using a good battery charger with maintenance charging like the Powercharge Aura charger, it is recommendable to connect the batteries to the charger whenever they are not in use.

The Powercharge charger as supplied has a maintenance (trickle) charge facility as standard as supplied to the client. Leaving it on charge so that it triple charges will help maintain the batteries.
