LIMITATIONS UPON LIABILITY

10. Advice given by agents or servants of this Company is based entirely upon information given by the Purchaser with no inspection undertaken. As such, all advice given is indicative only and all such advice should be checked by the Purchaser prior to order. Where advice is given after visual inspection by agents or servants of this Company, such advice shall amount to an opinion only.  Additionally, goods supplied are supplied only to correspond to the purpose for which goods of that kind are commonly supplied and not alternative uses to which they may be put. No liability for failure can be accepted by this Company for such alternative use, amendments or modification.

11. For trade Buyers, the Company is hereby excluded from any liability, howsoever arising, in respect of any express or implied condition, warranty or term, statement, representation whether statutory or otherwise, relating to the goods supplied. The Trade Buyer accepts that he is best placed to insure against losses which arise by virtue of any breach of this agreement and warrants that he carries adequate insurance in this respect.

Goods ordered by the Buyer may not be compatible with vehicles which have been modified, adapted or altered.  Where goods ordered by the Purchaser are not compatible by reason of modification, adaptations or alteration, the Company may accept such goods back into stock entirely at its discretion, and shall either issue a refund or credit to the purchaser, except where goods are specifically ordered for the purchaser where no such refund or credit will operate.

13. Where goods purchased by the Buyer are alleged to be defective, the Purchaser agrees to return such goods to the Seller for inspection and report (without the Seller replacing the said goods prior to such inspection). The Purchaser also accepts that it is reasonable to inform the Seller of any interruption, defect or other failure prior to contacting independent third parties or incurring expense and, in addition, to allow the Seller to remedy the defect, failure or interruption.  Parts modified or adapted by the purchaser shall no longer be warranted by the manufacturer nor shall the Company be liable for any failures resulting subsequent to modification as a result of such modification.

In addition, parts connected to parts supplied by this Company may be placed under stress where specialist/competition parts are used, and purchasers should take advice from experts prior to purchase.  Manufacturers may also limit guarantees when components are installed for competition use.

15. Where goods are defective, incorrectly supplied, delayed or otherwise in breach of the implied terms of the Buyer’sstatutory rights, all losses which result from loss of competition points, awards, loss of entry fees or other similar losses are excluded and shall not be reclaimable from the Company. In addition, the Company shall accept no liability for death or personal injury unless caused directly by the Company’s own negligence.

16. No liability is accepted by the Company where purchasers attempt to modify or install components supplied where it is known or ought reasonably to be known to the Purchaser that the part supplied is incorrectly supplied or otherwise not in accordance with the order.

17. The Company accepts no liability in respect of failure to supply or other interruptions caused by matters beyond the reasonable control of the Company, including but without limitation, strikes, lockouts, civil disputes, acts of god, war or actions by third party.

The resultant additional cost shall be borne by the Buyer.

Delivery times will be quoted at time of order and all times given for despatch or delivery are approximate and time shall not be of the essence.  The Buyer agrees to give 20 days in any written notice making time of the essence, such notice to commence subsequent to the last time for delivery quoted by the Company.  The Buyer further agrees to accept full liability in respect of delayed or late delivery or dispatch prior to the expiry of any such notice.
