Servicing and warranty

•

The QT has been designed primarily as a fun vehicle to travel relatively
short distances on or off road.  No warranty or representation is made
by  QMC  as  to  the  fitness  for  any  specific  use  of  any  v            unless
expressly set out in writing and signed by a director.  Whilst members
of  staff  will  answer  any  questions  in  good  faith,  if  it  is  a  customer’s
intention to rely on any statements given by staff in deciding to buy a
vehicle, then it is incumbent on the customer to obtain such statement
in writing from QMC, signed by a director.  QMC will not normally be in
a  position  to  form  a  view  on  whether  a  vehicle  is  suitable  for  a
particular  use  linked  to  the  specific  and  particular  needs  of  an
individual  customer,  but  will  only  be  able  to  answer  questions  about
the features of the vehicles.

The warranty is only valid with proof of first service at an authorised
service point giving the details of the owner, mileage, registration and
chassis number of the vehicle on the First Service Return Form and
returned to QMC.

The  basic  warranty  covers  parts  and  labour  for  a  period  of  2  years
from  the  date  of  production.  However,  if  a  vehicle  is  used  for
commercial  purposes,  (e.g.  self  drive  hire,  advertising/promotions
vehicle  or  as  a  taxi)  the  warranty  covers  parts  only,    nd  only  for  6
months from registration.

The warranty does not include breakdown recovery, collection or
delivery, only parts and labour whilst the vehicle is at an authorised
service workshop.

We reserve the right to replace or repair defective parts at our
discretion and to require that defective parts that are replaced are
returned to us.

The Warranty is invalidated if:

The vehicle is worked on by any workshop not previously approved
in writing by Secma or QMC.
If the original specifications of the vehicle are modified in any way.
If non-genuine spare parts are used.
If the vehicle is subject to negligent or unreasonable use or is
overloaded in any way.
If the damage is due to the inexperience or carelessness of the
driver or incorrect or inappropriate maintenance.
If the vehicle is used for competition, self drive hire or as a taxi.

The Warranty does not extend to normal wear and tear, cables, tyres,
batteries, bulbs, etc towing costs or costs consequent upon the
breakdown of the vehicle.
