Where the Goods have a personalised or cherished number plate, unless stated on the face of the order, the Customer shall not be entitled to assume that such number plate is available with the Goods. The Customer and Select Vehicle Solutions LTD will provide all reasonable assistance to each other to facilitate transfer of the registration.
7. Warranty
(a) Select Vehicle Solutions LTD shall use all reasonable endeavours to pass the benefit of any manufacturer’s warranty on to the Customer. In the case of a new vehicle, the Goods shall be warranted by the manufacturer to be free from defects in materials and workmanship on manufacture and Select Vehicle Solutions LTD shall repair any faults which arise in accordance with such warranty for at least one year from the date of first registration with no mileage limitation. Any parts which require replacement during the period of the manufacturer’s warranty as a result of wear and tear (for example but without limitation, the brake pads) are excluded from the warranty. The manufacturer’s warranty is not affected by any change of ownership of the Goods. Remedial work under such warranty may be carried out by any dealer approved by the relevant manufacturer (“a Dealer”) at whose sole option any defective parts will be repaired or replaced. Any part replaced under the manufacturer’s warranty is warranted to be free from defects in parts and materials until expiry of the original vehicle warranty. The manufacturer’s warranty does not apply if and to the extent that the defect is caused or worsened by one of the following circumstances:
(i) after discovering the defect the Customer has failed either to inform Select Vehicle Solutions LTD or to have the defect examined by a Dealer without reasonable delay;
(ii) has failed to give a Dealer the option to repair the Goods without reasonable delay;
(iii) the Goods or any part thereof have been subject to misuse, negligence, or accident or use for racing or similar sports;
(iv) if the Goods have been repaired or maintained and that repair or maintenance has not been carried out by or through a Dealer and/or to the manufacturer’s recommendations;
(v) parts have been installed into the Goods the use of which have not been approved by the manufacturer or if the Goods have been altered or modified in a manner not approved by the manufacturer;
(vi) instructions concerning the treatment, maintenance and care of the Goods have not been adhered to.
(b) In the case of the Goods being a second-hand vehicle, Select Vehicle Solutions LTD shall transfer to the Customer the unexpired portion of the manufacturer’s warranty (if any) together with any used car warranty made available with respect to the Goods as stated on the front of the order.
8. Examination of Goods and Reliance
(a) Prior to signing the order form the Customer should examine the Goods to be purchased (if they are available for inspection) and the Customer is reminded that the condition of satisfactory quality required by law does not operate in relation to defects which such an examination ought to reveal. If the Goods are sold subject to defects that have been notified by Select Vehicle Solutions LTD to the Customer before the signing of the contract, the condition of satisfactory quality referred to above does not operate in relation to those defects.
(b) The Customer should satisfy itself as to the suitability of the Goods for its requirements and not rely upon Select Vehicle Solutions LTD’s skill or knowledge regarding the Goods’ fitness for any particular purpose or use.
9. Sale to Intermediaries and Third Parties
The Customer confirms that it is not purchasing the Goods as an intermediary or reseller. Select Vehicle Solutions LTD may, at its discretion refuse to change the Customer’s details or identity on the order or register the Goods to anybody other than the Customer or (where Select Vehicle Solutions LTD reasonably believes the Customer to be a reseller) to cancel the contract. In the event of cancellation by Select Vehicle Solutions LTD clause 12(b) will apply.
10. Retention of Title
(a)Notwithstanding delivery, collection and/or the passing of insurance risk for the Goods, or any other provision of these terms and conditions, ownership of the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Total Retail Price has been paid in full in cleared funds.
(b)Until such time as ownership of the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer shall keep the Goods properly stored, protected and insured and identified as Select Vehicle Solutions LTD’s property. Further, Select Vehicle Solutions LTD shall be entitled at any time to require the Customer to return the Goods to Select Vehicle Solutions LTD and if the Customer fails to do so promptly, to enter upon any premises of the Customer or any third party where the Goods are stored and repossess the Goods.
(c)Until the Customer owns the Goods the Customer shall not be entitled to sell the Goods or use them as security for any indebtedness. If the Customer does so all money owing by the Customer to Select Vehicle Solutions LTD shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Select Vehicle Solutions LTD) immediately, become due and payable.
11. Liability
Select Vehicle Solutions LTD will not be liable to the Customer for (a) losses that were not in the reasonable contemplation of both parties when the contract was formed; (b) losses that were not caused by any breach on the part of Select Vehicle Solutions LTD; and (c) business losses, and/or losses to non-consumers.
Nothing in this clause shall operate to restrict or exclude Select Vehicle Solutions LTD’s liability or limit the Customer’s rights in any way that cannot be restricted, excluded or limited by law.
12. Data
Select Vehicle Solutions LTD shall keep and use any data relating to the Customer in accordance with the provisions of all relevant data protection legislation to process the Customer’s order and payment and (unless the Customer requests Select Vehicle Solutions LTD does not do so), to inform the Customer about similar products that Select Vehicle Solutions LTD provides.
