Gocycle Premium Service Plan Overview

Within two years of the original purchase of a new Gocycle, you may purchase and subscribe to a Gocycle Service Plan, which covers Servicing of your Gocycle for the purpose of preventative maintenance caused by normal usage of your bike as described in more detail below. A Gocycle Service Plan does not cover damage to your Gocycle related to crashes or theft, misuse, vandalism, or any other damage to your bike caused by you or others. By subscribing to this service, you may book service appointments, aligned to the Service Intervals described below, within the period in which the Subscription is live, as long as the Service Interval milestones have been reached. These Terms and Conditions apply to Gocycle Service Plan purchasers, and do not supersede or take the place of any of the General Terms & Conditions.

What is Included in the Plan

Fast-Lane Servicing with a Service Turnaround from point of Arrival at one of our Gocycle Servicing Hubs to time of Shipping from one of our hubs of 7 Calendar days (Public Holidays not included) – If you would like to collect from us then that can also be arranged
- If we fail to meet the servicing turnaround time for any reason we will refund 1 month of value of the Servicing plan: 30(£/€/$)
A full external and internal visual inspection of the Gocycle, with a thorough diagnostic review inside-and-out, including the Clean Drive
A Scaling in-depth Servicing process which matches usage and timeline of the Gocycle being owned, becoming more detailed and reflective of the needs of you and your Gocycle as you add Miles and Time goes by
Firmware Updates and System Updates are included as standard
Replacement of all effected Warranty parts as would be expected
A 5% discount on any parts needing to be replaced that are outside of Warranty – or that are not included in Warranty as standard
Valet Cleaning at each Service, maintaining a high quality look and feel
Free of Charge Replacement of minor wear parts such as Brake Pads, plus a Brake Diagnosis and Brake-Line fluid replacement to maintain that highest standard of responsiveness at every service, Suspension Elastomer checks and replacements from Service 2 Onwards, and Kickstand Ball Replacements from Service 3 Onwards (For all of these free of charge replacements – only applicable if deemed as required by our Expert Servicing Technicians)

Who can Take Advantage of this Plan

A Gocycle Service Plan is available to anyone buying a Gocycle new from our web store, and any existing customer who has purchased a Gocycle as New within the last 2 years, whether it be direct from Gocycle or from an Approved 3rd Party Supplier. The plan will be available to purchase at point of Sale of a new Gocycle through our web store, or it is able to be added from our Servicing Plan web page.

The plan sign-up is for a minimum 12 month period. Any future exclusive offers or opportunities that apply to multiple years of holding a Servicing Plan will only be applicable based on a plan being held continuously for the period specified. Any stoppage of the plan after a year resets the next time a plan is set-up to Year 1.

If you are purchasing a used Gocycle, and that Gocycle has been under a Gocycle Service Plan, you may contact Gocycle to determine if the Gocycle is still eligible for a Gocycle Service Plan with a new owner. If the Gocycle has been well-maintained from the perspective of our service records, Gocycle will permit the continuation of a Gocycle Service Plan with a new owner . If eligible, You must purchase a service plan within 30 days of registering your ownership on the Gocycle Connect App.

Not Included in the Plan

Routine servicing or repairs by anyone not authorized by Gocycle

Costs suffered by You as a result of not being able to use the bicycle, or any costs other than the replacement of the bicycle.

Gocycle Engineering Service Technicians reserve the right to define what work and parts need replacing during Servicing.

Gocycle reserves the right to define which maintenance checks which can be conducted by the Customer themselves outside of this plan. In the event of any self-maintenance, the Customer agrees to use original Gocycle parts during any maintenance completed as to avoid not being entitled to the benefits of the Gocycle Service. If the Customer is not able to prove the maintenance has been performed or any damage is incurred due to the use of non-approved Gocycle parts or accessories, Gocycle reserves the right to refuse to honour the plan, and invoice the Customer for the costs incurred by Gocycle as a result of the incorrect maintenance.

Fair-use of the Product is detailed in the General Terms & Conditions.

Priority Servicing & Repair

Whilst a Gocycle Service Plan is live Gocycle endeavours to complete the Servicing of your Gocycle, at the Service Intervals described, within 7 Calendar Days of the Gocycle Arriving at the Gocycle Servicing Hub. The day of Arrival is classified as Day 0, and then the Gocycle must be shipped, or Ready for Collection, on or before Day 7 from the day of Arrival. Should Gocycle fail to meet this timeline, due to reasons internal to Gocycle and outside of the control of the customer, Gocycle will refund 1 months value of the Gocycle Service Plan back to the Customer at the retail Subscription value of 1 month. This is not applicable if the ability to complete the Servicing within this timeline is impacted by activities within the Customers control, for example, including but not limited to, not responding to, or delaying via not directly answering queries from the Gocycle team, not responding to or delaying the arrangements for the approval of non-Warranty repairs, or shipping or collection of the Gocycle, not responding to or delaying payment of approved repairs due to Gocycle in order to complete any required repairs on the Gocycle.

If your Gocycle needs to return to a Gocycle Service Hub for any repairs outside of the standard Service Intervals detailed, then Gocycle will also endeavour to prioritize any Customers Gocycle who is on the Gocycle Service Plan, meaning that the Gocycle will jump the queue into a Priority Queue with other Plan users, and Gocycle will apply the 7 day timeline to these repairs also. In these instances Gocycle will inform the customer if it is not possible to meet the 7 Calendar Day timeline due to the level of repair being outside of the possibility of meeting this timeline for any reason, and therefore will not then refund a month of subscription costs if the timeline is not met. If Gocycle fails to inform the Customer of it not being possible for the timeline to be met, and the repair then takes longer than 7 days, Gocycle will refund 1 months value of the Gocycle Service Plan back to the Customer at the retail Subscription value of 1 month.

Booking An Appointment

You book a Service Interval appointment via the Gocycle Support pages accessed via the Gocycle Website Support pages (https://gocycle.zendesk.com/hc/), by contacting Gocycle’s Customer Service Team and requesting the desired date of the Servicing appointment. Once the time and date is agreed, the Customer will then be responsible for shipping the Gocycle to, and from, the nearest Gocycle location for the Service to be completed.

Assignment & Use of the Plan

The Gocycle Service Plan is linked to the Frame Number (Serial Number) of your Gocycle product, and cannot be used for any other Gocycle than the one the Gocycle Service Plan you have purchased is linked to. You may not use any other Gocycle Service Plan, permit anyone else to use Your Gocycle Service Plan, or assign or otherwise transfer any right You have under Your Gocycle Service Plan to any other person or entity.

Gocycle may permanently or temporarily terminate, suspend, or otherwise refuse to provide Gocycle Service Plan services to you for good cause, including if Gocycle determines that you violated any provision of these Terms and Conditions or if you misuse the services, the Gocycle, or any other product. In such case, Gocycle will promptly provide notice of suspension or termination to you.
