2. About these terms
2.1. These Terms apply to all sales of goods (“Parts”) supplied by us, whether purchased in person, online, or by phone/email.
2.2. By ordering from us you agree to be bound by these Terms.
2.3. We sell to both trade and retail customers. We apply the same commercial terms to all customers, but nothing in these terms limits or removes any rights you have under applicable consumer law (where you are entitled to them).
3. Used parts, condition and fitment responsibility
3.1. Many parts we supply are used and may show signs of wear consistent with age and previous use.
3.2. Any descriptions, photos and vehicle/part references are provided to help identification. Minor cosmetic differences may occur.
3.3. It is your responsibility to ensure the part is correct and suitable for your vehicle before purchase and before fitting. If you are unsure, contact us with your registration/VIN and (where possible) the part number.
3.4. We may apply security markings (e.g., stamps/initials/labels). Removing or altering these markings will void any warranty/guarantee and may prevent a return.
3.5. Where a vehicle registration number or VIN is not supplied prior to purchase, we accept no liability for incorrect supply due to compatibility issues. Where a registration number or VIN is supplied, we will use reasonable care to verify compatibility based on the information reasonably available to us.

4.2. All parts must be paid in full before they are removed from the vehicle or released/collected/dispatched.
4.3. If we discover an obvious pricing/description error, we may cancel the order and refund you.
5. Ownership (title) and risk
5.1. Title to the parts remains with us until paid in full with cleared funds.
5.2. Risk of loss/damage passes to you on collection or delivery, subject always to any rights you may have under consumer law.
Delivery & Collection
6. Delivery method and access
6.1. Delivery is normally kerbside / to the first accessible point suitable for the vehicle and safe unloading.
6.2. You must ensure suitable access, and someone is present to receive the delivery. If delivery cannot be completed due to access issues or no-one being available, re-delivery fees may apply.
7. Inspection on delivery, shortages and transit damage
7.1. You must check goods thoroughly before signing for them, where reasonably possible.
7.2. If there is visible damage, you should refuse delivery or clearly note damage on the carrier paperwork. The wording “unchecked” or “unexamined” is not acceptable.
7.3. If there is damage or shortage you must notify us within 24 hours of delivery (or next working day) and provide:
· Clear photos of the part(s),
· Photos of external packaging/pallet and labels,
· A brief written description of the issue.
7.4. Where goods are signed for as received in good condition despite visible damage, this can limit courier claims and may affect what remedy is available (but does not remove statutory rights where applicable).
Returns, Cancellation & Refunds
8. Statutory consumer cancellation (distance sales)
8.1. If you are a consumer and you bought online/at a distance, you may have a legal right to cancel within 14 days of receiving the goods (subject to any legal exceptions).
8.2. If you cancel under your statutory right:
· You must return the goods to us within 14 days of telling us you wish to cancel; and
· You are usually responsible for return costs unless the law requires otherwise.
8.3. We may reduce your refund if the goods have been handled beyond what is necessary to inspect them. For example, if goods have been installed/fitted and this goes beyond what is necessary to inspect them, a deduction may be made for any diminished value (where permitted by law).
8.4. Where required by law, we will refund the cost of standard outbound delivery. Any enhanced delivery service selected (e.g. timed/express) is not refundable to the extent permitted by law.
8.5. We will issue your refund without undue delay and no later than 14 days after we receive the goods back, or (if earlier) 14 days after you provide evidence you have sent them back. If we have offered to collect the goods, we will refund within 14 days of you telling us you wish to cancel.

10. Electrical items and fitted parts (returns restriction)
