3.3 You may make a change to the Order for Goods and/or Services at any time before We despatch the Goods or start date for the Services by contacting Us, except in the case of any made-to-requirements Goods. Where this means a change in the total price of the Goods and/or Services, We will notify you of the amended price. You can choose to cancel the Order in accordance with clause 13 in these circumstances.

3.4 If you wish to cancel an Order before it has been fulfilled, please see your right to do so in clause 13. In the case of made-to-requirements Goods, you will not be able to cancel an Order once it is made.

Advice about your legal rights is available at your local Citizen’s Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

5. Delivery of goods

5.6 If We are not able to deliver the whole of the Order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, We may deliver the Order in instalments. We will not charge you extra delivery costs for this. However, if you ask Us to deliver the Order in instalments, We may charge you extra delivery costs. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract governed by these Terms. If We are late delivering an instalment or one instalment is faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.

If you do not, after being asked by Us, provide Us with this information, or you provide Us with incomplete or incorrect information, We may make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to cover any extra work that is required, or We may suspend the Services by giving you written notice. We will not be liable for any delay or non-performance where you have not provided this information to Us after We have asked. If We suspend the Services under this clause 8.2, you do not have to pay for the Services while they are suspended, but this does not affect your obligation to pay for any invoices We have already sent you.

8.3 We may have to suspend the Services if We have to deal with technical or mechanical problems. We will contact you to let you know in advance where this occurs, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You do not have to pay for the Services while they are suspended under this clause 8.3 but this does not affect your obligation to pay for any invoices We have already sent you.

8.4 If you do not pay Us for the Services when you are supposed to as set out in clause 10.7, We may suspend the Services with imte effect until you have paid Us the outstanding amounts (except where you dispute an invoice under clause 10.9). We will contact you to tell you this. This does not affect Our right to charge you interest under clause 10.8.

8.5 Where in any case a driver who, so far as We are aware, has the authority to collect your vehicle, collects the same then We shall not be responsible to you for any loss or damage resulting on the grounds that such driver had in fact no such authority. We shall not be obliged to seek confirmation of the authority of any person reasonably believed to be then, or to have been at some time, connected with you.

8.9 You are strongly advised to remove all items of value not connected with your vehicle when leaving it on Our premises for Services to be performed since We cannot accept liability for any loss or damage to the same except where this is shown to have been caused by a lack of reasonable care on Our part.

8.10 You agree to indemnify Us for any fines and charges incurred by you or on your behalf relating to a part-ex and any vehicle supplied or lent by Us.

9. If there is a problem with the services

9.1 In the unlikely event that there is any defect with the Services:

(a) please contact Us and tell Us as soon as reasonably possible; and

(b) please give Us a reasonable opportunity to repair or fix any defect.

You will not have to pay for Us to repair or fix a defect with the Services under this clause 9.1.

9.2 As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Services not carried out with reasonable skill and care, or if the materials We use are faulty or not as described.

10. Price and payment

10.1 The price of the Goods and/or the Services will be set out in Our price list in force at the time We confirm your Order. Our prices may change at any time, but price changes will not affect Orders that We have confirmed with you.

10.2 These prices include VAT. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of the Order and the date of delivery or performance, We will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods and/or Services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

10.3 The prices for the Goods exclude delivery costs unless otherwise agreed, which will be added to the total amount due.

10.4 It is always possible that, despite Our best efforts, some of the Goods We sell or Services We provide may be incorrectly priced on Our website or elsewhere. We will normally check prices as part of Our despatch procedures so that, where the correct price is less than Our stated price, We will charge the lower amount. If the correct price is higher than the price stated on Our website or elsewhere, We will contact you to tell you and for your instructions. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, We do not have to provide the Goods or Services to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

10.5 Where We are providing Goods to you, you must, unless We agree otherwise, make payment for Goods in advance by credit or debit card. We will not charge your credit or debit card until We despatch the Goods to you. Where We do not take payment of Goods in advance We reserve the right to require a deposit including, without limitation, for made-to-requirements Goods. Your rights to a refund on cancellation are set out in clause 13.

10.6 Any valuation given by Us of any vehicle to be supplied to Us by you as part exchange or otherwise for Goods (the part-ex) is a guide only and no binding offer to purchase it can be made until it is presented to Us for examination. We reserve the right to revalue the part-ex at the time of acquisition to reflect current market values, mileage, condition, the passage of time and any other factor which We deem to be relevant. When We accept the part-ex as part-payment for Goods you agree and represent that you are the legal owner, no outstanding credit is owed on it and no obligations of any kind have been secured on or by reference to it. If there is an outstanding credit, the amount of money We give you will be reduced by the equivalent of the amount of the outstanding credit. You must deliver the part-ex to Us on or before the day of delivery or collection (as applicable) of the relevant Goods. From the day you deliver the part-ex to Us, as between Us and you, We are the legal owner. By delivering the part-ex to Us, you warrant that input tax deduction has not been and will not be claimed in respect of the part-ex. If you arrange for a finance company to purchase Goods from Us and We have accepted a part-ex as part-payment, We shall be entitled to inform the finance company how much was agreed by Us to be deducted from the price of the Goods for the part-ex and what deposit, if any, you have paid to Us.

10.13 Where We are providing Services to you, We may ask you to make an advance payment of the price of the Services. Your rights to a refund on cancellation are set out in clause 13. We will invoice you for the Services (and deduct any amount paid in advance) on or any time after We have performed the Services for satisfaction on presentation of the invoice. If no price is stated or agreed in the Order and if part only of the worked covered by an Order is carried out by Us then We shall be entitled to charge a reasonable and proper price for the work and services performed and for materials supplied. If, in Our opinion, it is impractical for any reason to carry out any of the Services We are instructed to perform We shall be entitled to refrain from carrying out or completing such Services (notwithstanding that they might be contained in the Order) and to carry out only such work and services as in Our opinion may be practical.

10.14 If you do not make any payment due to Us by the due date for payment, We may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% a year above the base rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay Us interest together with any overdue amount.

10.15 However, if you dispute an invoice in good faith and contact Us to let Us know promptly after you have received an invoice that you dispute it, clause 10.8 will not apply for the period of the dispute.

10.16 We shall have a general lien on your goods, including any vehicle and its contents, for all monies owed to Us by you.

10.17 If a vehicle if not collected or accepted for delivery within 24 hours of Us having notified you that it is ready for collection or delivery, then We may charge a reasonable storage rent in respect of it from the date is was ready for collection or delivery until collection or disposal by Us under these Terms.

10.18 If your indebtedness to Us, including accrued storage charges, is not satisfied within 3 months from the first account rendered to you We may, without notice, sell your vehicle and/or any contents thereof by public auction or private treaty. The net proceeds of the sale shall be applied towards satisfying monies due from you to Us and any balance shall be held on trust by Us for you.

11. Our liability to you

11.1 If We fail to comply with these Terms, We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of Our breach of the Terms or Our negligence, but We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if they were an obvious consequence of Our breach or if they were contemplated by you and Us at the time We entered into the contract.

11.2 If We are installing the Goods in, and/or providing Services in respect of, your vehicle, We will make good any damage to your vehicle caused by Us in the course of installation or performance. However, We are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your vehicle that We discover in the course of installation and/or performance by Us.

11.3 We only supply the Goods and/or Services for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Goods and/or Services for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose, and We have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

12.3 If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of Our obligations under these Terms:

(a) We will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and Our obligations under these Terms will be suspended and the time for performance of Our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control. Where the Event Outside Our Control affects Our delivery of Goods to you, We will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over. Where the Event Outside Our Control affects Our performance of Services to you, We will restart the Services as soon as reasonably possible after the Event Outside Our Control is over.

12.4 You may cancel the contract if an Event Outside Our Control takes place and you no longer wish Us to provide the Goods and/or Services. Please see your cancellation rights under clause 13. We will only cancel the contract if the Event Outside Our Control continues for longer than 6 weeks in accordance with Our cancellation rights in clause 13.

13. Your cancellation rights

13.1 Before We begin to provide the Services or the Goods are delivered, you have the following rights to cancel an Order for Goods (other than made-to-requirements Goods) and/or Services, including where you choose to cancel because We are affected by an Event Outside Our Control or We change these Terms under clause 3.1 to your material disadvantage:

(b) If you cancel an Order under clause 13.1(a) and you have made any payment in advance for Services that have not been provided to you, or Goods that have not been delivered to you, We will refund these amounts to you (without interest).

(c) However, if you cancel an Order for Services under clause 13.1(a) and We have already started work on your Order by that time, you will pay Us any costs We reasonably incurred in starting to fulfil the Order, and this charge will be deducted from any refund that is due to you or, if no refund is due to you, invoiced to you. We will tell you what these costs are when you contact Us. However, where you have cancelled an Order because of Our failure to comply with these Terms (except where We have been affected by an Event Outside Our Control), you do not have to make any payment to Us.

(d) Unfortunately, if you cancel an Order for Goods under clause 13.1(a) and We have already despatched your Goods to you, We will not be able to cancel your Order until it is delivered. In this case, if you return the Goods to Us, We will have to charge you the cost of collection or you will have to pay the cost of returning the Goods back to Us. This will not affect your refund for the Goods, but any charge for collection will be deducted from the refund that is due to you.

13.2 Unfortunately, as the made-to-requirements Goods are made to your requirements, you will not be able to cancel your Order once made (but this will not affect your legal rights as a consumer in relation to made-to-requirements Goods that are faulty or not as described).
