RE: New statement from JC ENGINE power co.,ltd
Kevin
I sent you authority quite some time ago by e-mail (and I know you got the e-mail because you replied to it) to allow Steve Thomas at Bobs Hobbies to take care of the warranty on the YD-A line for the engines supplied by you and sold through RC aero / Henry.
Henry is not a contracted "business Partner" to me - he was authorised to use the YD-A name in the USA. You sold direct to him, you took the money direct from him and you supplied the product direct to him. I point this out because the term "business partner" has certian legal ramifications that you may not be aware of.
So - again - I authorise you to deal with Steve Thomas at Bobs hobbies for all warranty associated products for the YD-A 56cc and 112cc engine line as I have the brand name registered in the USA as well as a few other places. I retain the retraction of authority for you or any company associated with you to use my intellectual property or business assets to produce or sell any items associated with those assets except for the purposes of honoring your factory warranty for engines supplied to date.
So anyone with a warranty issue for a YD-A 56cc or 112cc in the USA or the UK - you can now see there is an authorised warranty centre. Whether or not the factory involved honors that warranty will remin to be seen.
YD-A Engines sold in Australia continue to be waranted directly by myself of course.
So Kevin - what about the JC 53cc (Area 51), the JC 106cc (Area 102), JC 26cc, JC 40cc and JC 28cc engines around the world that have been sold and have issues still. Will they be covered through the curent delaer network or will the end users remain stuck with them? Just because you have refused to supply the old dealers with warranty parts doesn't mean the engine problems are gone away.
This of course includes the engines in the many dealers hands that have been stripped for parts to cover warranty issues and that the dealers are still awaiting the proper parts to reassemble them - will you also honor those parts supplies or did the dealers lose their money?
