1.	GENERAL These conditions shall apply without any variation to every contract entered into by the Company for the sale of goods or services. These conditions shall prevail over any conditions that the purchaser's order may purport to impose and which are at variance with the same. No modification of these conditions shall be binding upon the Company unless specifically accepted in writing by the Company. "The Company" means Shop4Autoparts and "the Purchaser" means the purchaser of any goods from the Company.
2.	TERMS OF PAYMENT Payment is due prior to despatch via credit card or cheque drawn on a British Bank.
3.	PRICES The Company reserves the right to vary the quoted price and goods will be invoiced to the Purchaser at the prices ruling at the date of dispatch unless otherwise agreed by this Company in writing. Prices are quoted ex-works. All prices are quoted excluding taxes. All invoices must be paid in full without any deductions by way of set off, counterclaim or otherwise. Delivery and insurance, if requested, will be arranged at the Buyers' expense and risk to the nominated destination.
4.	GUARANTEE The Company will, at its option, replace or credit the Purchaser with the value of any defective goods supplied by the Company. The Company will only do this if it is satisfied such defects arose solely through faulty material or workmanship, and such goods are returned, in a manner agreed by the Company, immediately upon discovery of the defect. The Company will normally not consider any claims made after 6 months from date of dispatch. Where the goods are sold under a consumer transaction (as defined by the Consumer Transactions (Restrictions on Statements) Order 1976 (as amended) the statutory rights of the Purchaser are not affected by these conditions.
5.	EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY These conditions are in substitution for and exclude to the fullest extent permitted by Law all and any express and implied statutory or other warranties, guarantees, representations, conditions and liabilities. Furthermore the Purchaser is responsible for determining whether or not the goods will satisfy the Purchaser's requirements and no warranty is given by the Company in this regard. Any alterations or modifications made by the Customer shall be at the Customers risk and the Customer will ensure that the Goods are only used in a manner and purpose for which they are appropriate and were designed.
6.	ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS Quotations do not constitute an offer by the Company to supply the goods and no orders shall be binding unless accepted by the Company in writing.
7.	DELIVERY DATES Whilst the Company shall make every effort to adhere to any delivery date specified in the contract, dates or periods of delivery stated in the contract are approximate only and time shall not be of the essence of the contract.
8.	ACCEPTANCE OF THE GOODS The Purchaser must examine all deliveries of goods on receipt to check they conform with the relevant order. Any deficiencies must be reported within 24 hours of delivery (and if required by the Company the goods must be returned to the Company at the Purchaser's expense) failing which the goods are deemed to have been accepted by the Purchaser.
9.	CANCELLATION/RETURN OF GOODS Orders made specifically to the Purchaser's requirements cannot be cancelled. All other orders placed cannot be cancelled except with the Company's consent in writing upon terms that will indemnify the Company against all loss. Goods returned without the Company's consent in writing will not be accepted for credit and shall remain the sole risk and at the sole liability of the Purchaser. Any goods that are accepted by the Company for return may be subject to a 15% handling charge.
10.	DESCRIPTION Whilst every endeavor has been made to ensure that goods are accurately described and are believed to be fit for the purpose and vehicles as mentioned in our catalogues, no warranty to this effect is given and no responsibility will be accepted in the event of an error or misdescription in any catalogue or any damage resulting therefrom. Manufacturers part numbers are used for guidance and cross referencing purposes only. The use of a Manufacturers part number does not necessarily imply that the goods are from the same source. Goods may be supplied from either an Original Equipment (OE) source or an Aftermarket source. If goods are required from an OE manufacturing source then this must be stated on the Purchasers purchase order against any individual requirement. For the purposes of these conditions of sales the term "OE Manufacturer" shall apply to any company or organization who is a supplier to a recognized vehicle manufacturer or their Parts and Service Divisions.
11.	DAMAGE OR LOSS IN TRANSIT Claims for damage or loss in transit must be sent to the Company in writing in sufficient time for the shippers and insurers to be notified with any stipulated claim time. The Company's liability for loss or damage in transit shall be limited to the amounts (if any) recovered from the shippers and insurers less any costs of this Company in connection with a claim. The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage in transit where delivery takes place by post or by collection by the Customer or its carrier.
12.	PROPER LAW The contract between the Company and the Purchaser shall be deemed to have been made in England and shall be governed in all respects by English law and the Purchaser shall submit to the jurisdiction of the English courts.
13.	RISK AND TITLE 13.1 Risk shall pass to the Purchaser so that the purchaser is responsible for all loss, damage or deterioration of the goods. 13.2 Title in the goods or any relevant part thereof shall only pass to the Purchaser upon the happening of any one or the following events: 13.2.1 The Purchaser has paid to the Company all sums due from it to the Company under this contract and under all other contracts between the Company and the Purchaser including (for avoidance of doubt) any sums due under contracts made after the contract whether or not in the same are immediately payable. 13.2.2 When the Company serves on the Purchaser notice in writing specifying that title in the goods or such part thereof has passed. 13.3 The Company may recover goods in respect of which title has not passed to the Purchaser at any time and the Purchaser hereby licenses the Company , its officers, employees and agents to enter upon any premises of the Purchaser for the purpose either of satisfying itself that clause 13.4 below is being complied with by the Purchaser or of recovering any goods in respect of which property has not passed to the buyer. 13.4 Until title to the goods has passed to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof it shall possess the goods as a bailee of the Company on the terms of this contract. If the Company so requires the Purchaser shall store the goods separately from other goods and shall ensure that they are clearly identifiable as belonging to the company. 13.5 Without prejudice to the forgoing sub-conditions and in the event that the Purchaser shall in the course of its business dispose of the goods to a customer being a bona fide Purchaser without notice of the Company's rights then the Purchaser shall have a fiduciary duty to the Company to account to the Company for the proceeds (which shall be kept separate and identifiable from the Purchasers own monies) but may retain therefrom any excess of such proceeds over the amount outstanding under this or any other contract between them.
