SECTION 4 - LEGISLATION & LAWS REGARDING THE USE OF PERSONAL ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Personal Electric Vehicles (PEVs) are not to be used on footpaths, cycle lanes or roads in Australia. It is the complete responsibility of the Customer to ensure that any products purchased operate by all country, state, and local laws. The Customer assumes all liability and risk associated with the use of Personal Electric Vehicles and holds Scooter Hut, its owners, and its employees free from any liability caused by their use.

Scooter Hut advertises and sells its products for the sole purpose of recreational use on private property. Each state and territory in Australia maintains a different set of rules and regulations for the usage of PEVs and associated products, including the requirements for legal use and whether registration with the relevant local road traffic authority is necessary. It is the responsibility of Customers to ride with caution, wear a helmet and protective gear during use, and ensure compliance with local by-laws including requirements of use. Any information or representation provided by Scooter Hut is of a general nature and may vary between Users depending on individual circumstances. For more information, please check local laws before use.

Is the Customer responsible for knowing local laws relating to the use of Personal Electric Vehicles?

By purchasing any product on the Scooter Hut website, the Customer warrants & confirms that they, and they alone, are aware of their local legislation in relation to using the items included in their purchase(s). The consequences of a Customer’s decision to purchase a Personal Electric Vehicle that may contradict or break their local legislation shall apply only to the Customer. 

Scooter Hut may advise Customers of local legislations, but we do not dispense legal advice, nor do we endorse the breaking of any law, whether local, state, or federal in nature. 

I’m buying a product for someone else. Who is responsible for ensuring that person(s) knows their local laws regarding the use of PEVs?

The individual(s) who purchased the product from Scooter Hut are responsible for ensuring that the ultimate owner of the product(s) is aware of all their local laws & legislation regarding the use of PEVs. Scooter Hut shall not accept returns or offer refunds for PEVs purchased as gifts that do not meet the local laws of the ultimate product owner’s residence. 

I didn’t know PEVs were illegal in my state when I purchased from Scooter Hut. Can I return my purchase or get a refund? 

The Customer assumes all responsibility for knowing & understanding all laws, rules, & regulations relating to the use of Personal Electric Vehicles in their local government area or state. Scooter Hut will not offer any refunds or accept any product returns in the event the Customer purchased without being aware of local legislation in relation to use or ownership of a Personal Electric Vehicle unless that product is unopened, unused, in the same condition in which it left the Scooter Hut depot, and the product return occurs within 30 days of the product being purchased. 

For more information on product returns, read the Scooter Hut Return Policy here.

My local PEV laws have changed since I purchased from Scooter Hut. Can I return my purchase or get a refund? 

Scooter Hut does not accept return products or offer any refunds for products that have been outlawed by changing government regulations relating to use or ownership of a Personal Electric Vehicle unless that product is unopened, unused, in the same condition in which it left the Scooter Hut depot, and the product return occurs within 30 days of the product being purchased.

I have been fined for using a PEV that doesn’t meet my state’s local legislation. Am I entitled to compensation from Scooter Hut? 

The Customer assumes all responsibility for the consequences of using a Personal Electric Vehicle that breaks or contradicts legislation in their local government area or state. 

Scooter Hut does not and will not offer any form of compensation or offer a refund of any nature to Customers that have been issued fines, had their PEV confiscated, or any sort of legal proceeding taken against them as a result of using their products in contradiction of their local laws. 

I was given incorrect advice on PEV laws in my state by a member of the Scooter Hut team. Am I entitled to compensation? 

Scooter Hut are not experts in local laws & legislation, nor are Scooter Hut & its respective employees qualified to dispense legal advice of any nature to User, Customer, or Third Party. Thus, Scooter Hut does not accept responsibility for incorrect or out-of-date advice in relation to PEV legislation provided by any member of the Scooter Hut team. The Customer assumes all responsibility for understanding their local Personal Electric Vehicle regulations. 

Is it illegal to sell Personal Electric Vehicles in Australia?

It is not illegal to sell Personal Electric Vehicles in Australia, nor is it illegal to own a Personal Electric Vehicle in Australia. Scooter Hut is not in breach of any law by advertising & selling Personal Electric Vehicles, and Customers are not breaking any laws by owning a Personal Electric Vehicle.

Can Scooter Hut cancel my order before it is delivered?

Scooter Hut reserves the right to refuse to fulfil any order placed with us. Scooter Hut may, in its sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same Customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that Scooter Hut makes a change to or cancels an order, Scooter Hut may attempt to notify the Customer by contacting the e‑mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. Scooter Hut reserves the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in Scooter Hut’ sole judgement, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors.

Can Scooter Hut cancel my order if it cannot be shipped to my location?

Scooter Hut offers free shipping across Australia wherever possible. Unfortunately, some rural, remote, or island destinations lie beyond Scooter Hut’ free delivery network. In the event Scooter Hut cannot source a courier or delivery partner to deliver the Customer’s order to the nominated shipping address, Scooter Hut may cancel the order & offer a full refund. Alternatively, if a courier is available, but the cost of delivering the order is too high for Scooter Hut to reasonably cover as part of the purchase price, Scooter Hut may offer the Customer the opportunity to cover the cost of shipping themselves, or source their own courier service. Should the Customer not wish to source their own courier or cover the cost of the courier recommended by Scooter Hut, they shall be offered a full refund for the cost of their order. 

Can Scooter Hut cancel orders it believes to be fraudulent?

From time-to-time the Scooter Hut system will automatically identify a transaction as fraudulent. Regardless of whether this system is correct, Scooter Hut reserves the right to cancel any order it deems as suspicious or fraudulent in order to prevent credit card fraud. In the event this happens, Scooter Hut will make every attempt deemed necessary to confirm Customer details by requesting identity documents or evidence of payment method ownership. Should the Customer be uncontactable, or unable to verify their identity, Scooter Hut may cancel the Customer’s order. Should this happen, any payment made by the Customer to Scooter Hut will be refunded within 2-4 business days. 

Can Scooter Hut pursue legal action for fraudulent transactions?

In an effort to curb credit card fraud, Scooter Hut, may, at its sole discretion, pursue legal action against Customers who make a fraudulent transaction, or who conduct a Chargeback after receiving their order. This may include notifying and submitting Customer Details to the Police or local law enforcement. 

My credit card was flagged as fraudulent. Can I still use it to buy products from Scooter Hut?

If a Customer order is rejected, Scooter Hut will offer the option to pay via another method, including bank transfers, merchant payments (such as Afterpay), or by cash-on-pickup if the order is collected in person from our Vermont warehouse . Once an order is flagged in the Scooter Hut system as a "high risk of fraud", Scooter Hut is unable to accept payment via credit card. 

Can I cancel an order placed by someone else?

Scooter Hut does not offer refunds or accept product returns in the event that a purchase is made by an unauthorised Third Party. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Underage Customers, or;
  • Customers subject to the Power-of-Attorney by a Third Party, or;
