Where these Terms refer to “us”, “we” or “our” they are referring to The Supplier and where these Terms refer to “you” or “your” they are referring to the customer who buys a vehicle from us.

Goods and Services
3. In return for payment in full The Supplier will source a motor vehicle and sell the vehicle to you to the specification agreed between us in writing.

4. The Supplier is not obliged to sell to you any motor vehicle or other goods or services not agreed between us in writing.

Purchasing a motor vehicle from The Supplier
5. The Supplier will provide a written quotation for the price of your motor vehicle together with an order form. You must sign both copies of the order form and return them both to The Supplier. If The Supplier accepts your order The Supplier will then sign the order form and return one copy to you as confirmation of your order.

6. You will be required to pay a deposit before your order can be accepted. The Supplier will provide details of the required deposit on the vehicle order form and your deposit must be received before The Supplier can confirm your order.

7. The balance of the purchase price must be paid to The Supplier in cleared funds;

7.1. 14 days before delivery for vehicles ordered specially for you; or

7.2. 7 days before delivery for vehicles from The Supplier’s stock; or

7.3. by any other date agreed between us in writing.

Cancellation
8. Once we have issued the written confirmation of your order, you will not be entitled to cancel the agreement thereafter unless covered by circumstances described in these terms and conditions, or unless we agree otherwise (in which case we reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee).

9. If delivery of the vehicle is delayed for an unreasonable time, and the cause is not industrial action, strike, dispute affecting any stage of the supply chain or factory shutdown you have the right to cancel the order by advising us in writing within 7 days of receiving notice of the delay from us and to receive a refund in full of any monies you have paid to us.

10. If the manufacturer makes a material change to the specification, you have the right to cancel the order by advising us in writing within 7 days of receiving notice of the change from us and to receive a refund in full of any monies you have paid to us.

11. Minor changes to specification made by the manufacturer in the course of product development, including (but not restricted to) specification, standard equipment, optional extras and colour shades, do not give you the right to cancel the order. You should satisfy yourself that no changes are being introduced by the manufacturer before entering into the order.

12. If the vehicle does not correspond with the order in all material respects you may reject it during delivery and the purchase contract between us will be cancelled. You will then receive a full refund of the purchase price that has been paid.

13. Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 you may also cancel the order by writing to us at the address shown above within 7 working days after the day we deliver the vehicle to you.

14.1 You must, at your own expense, return the vehicle (including its keys, registration documents and anything else supplied with the vehicle) to us at the address above. If you request us to collect the vehicle, or where we do so because you have failed to return the vehicle to us within 10 working days after you notified us of your cancellation then you will be liable to pay a collection charge of £300 plus VAT. Where this charge is incurred we reserve the right to withhold the sum equal to that charge from any refund that you may be entitled to.

14.2 You have a duty to take reasonable care of the vehicle from the time of delivery until it is restored to us.
