Trading Terms

TRADING TERMS FOR THE SALE MOTOR SALVAGE AND USED PARTS

 1:    Vehicles and parts of vehicles sold by ourselves are auto-salvage and are sold as such.  Whilst we wish to make every effort to give good value to our customers, we cannot guarantee each part to be absolutely perfect and this is reflected in our prices when they are compared to the price of new items and parts.

2:    We will always try to supply the exact part that our customers require, but due to the variations in make, model, design and year of manufacture, we cannot give any guarantee that any parts are correct or fit for the purpose required.   It will help if customers can bring a sample part for comparison, but all sales are made on the strict understanding that the customer is responsible for making sure that all parts bought are correct or fit for the purpose required.  In the event that a part purchased is not correct for the particular vehicle, we will attempt to replace the part with the correct one, provided that within 24 hours, the part is returned or we are notified of the customers intention to return the part.   Please note that we shall not be under any obligation to replace any part returned to us under these circumstances or to give any refund in respect thereof.

3:    Any part which is found to be faulty or unserviceable (unless the fault was declared on purchase) will be repaired, exchanged, refunded or a credit note issued according to the circumstances, provided that we are notified in writing within the period specified in the guarantee clause under which the goods were sold.

Goods or parts sold by ourselves are guaranteed or warranted for the time specified in the following clauses:-

  1. The article offered for sale has been removed from the donor vehicle, tested and inspected and found to be of such quality as to carry an unconditional fourteen days guarantee of straight exchange or money back should a replacement unit not be available, if the article should be found to be faulty or unserviceable.
  2. Becauseofthe age and/or condition of the donor vehicle, testing or inspection of the article offered for sale has not been practicable.  However, should the article be found to be unsatisfactory, a refund or credit note will be issued at our discretion provided that the article is returned within seven days in the same condition as supplied.
  3. The Trading Terms of the sale of the article or articles offered for sale under this category and the terms of any guarantee agreed are subject to negotiation between the buyer and the seller at the time and point of sale.   All Trading Terms of the guarantee must be stated on the invoice or receipt relating to the sale and signed by both the buyer and seller at the time of sale.

NOTE:-

Any item(s) being returned must be accompanied by the receipt or invoice which was issued at the time of sale.   All parts must be returned in the condition in which they were supplied.  Delivery charges are non-refundable in all cases. Correctly supplied items(s) which are returned will be subject to 50% handling/restocking fee.  Partial dismantling or stripping of the part or parts will invalidate the guarantee.  

4:    We shall not be liable or responsible for:-

  1. any fault or defect in parts arising from wilful damage, negligence, failure to follow our instructions (whether written or oral), misuse or alteration to parts, carried out otherwise than by us;
  1. any fault or damage caused by the fitting of parts otherwise than by us;
  1. Refund of any postage & packing or delivery charges;
  1. any consequential or indirect loss claimed under any circumstances.

5:    Bearing in mind that all parts are auto-salvage and the price is substantially less than new, we do not hold ourselves responsible if any vehicle is off the road whilst a part is being brought back for exchange.

6:    We understand and will exercise our statutory right to claim interest and compensation for debt recovery costs under the late payment legislation if we are not paid in full/immediately upon receipt of goods and according to our trading terms, unless extended credit facilities have been previously agreed with ourselves in writing.    

7:    These terms of business are not intended to restrict or exclude any legal rights bestowed or implied by law.   These terms of trading are primarily designed to apply to transactions entered into with consumers.  Where transactions are entered into with other businesses, certain provisions implied by law may be excluded, subject to tests of reasonableness, as prescribed by the Unfair Contract Terms Act, 1977.
