Terms and Conditions

General Terms and conditions: 

(1) Introduction

Please read these terms of sale carefully.

You will be asked to expressly agree to these terms of sale before you place an order for products from our website.

(2) Interpretation

In these terms of sale, "we" means Select Car Superstore, a trading as Select Car Superstore Ltd (and "us" and "our" will be construed accordingly); and "you" means our customer or potential customer for products (and "your" will be construed accordingly).

(3) Order process

The advertising of products on our website constitutes an "invitation to treat"; and your order for products constitutes a contractual offer. No contract will come into force between you and us until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure detailed below.

In order to enter into a contract to purchase products from us, you will need to take the following steps:

(i) you must contact us either by telephone or, email or our online enquiry form with the details of the vehicle you wish to purchase; (ii) We will confirm the vehicle details with you and take a deposit by debit or credit card to reserve that vehicle; (iii) we will then send you an initial acknowledgement; and (iv) once we have checked whether we are able to meet your order, we will either send you an order confirmation (at which point your order will become a binding contract) or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order."

We will not file a copy of these terms of sale specifically in relation to your order. We may update the version of these terms of sale on the website from time to time, and we do not guarantee that the version you have agreed to will remain accessible. We therefore recommend that you download, print and retain a copy of these terms of sale for your records.

The only language in which we provide these terms of sale is English.

Before you place your order, you will have the opportunity of identifying whether you have made any input errors by discussing your order with one of our sales representatives. You will also have the opportunity to rectify any mistakes once you have received your order confirmation. You may correct those input errors before placing your order by emailing us to [email protected] or telephoning us on 01733 307070.

(4) The products

Used cars as advertised on our website.

(5) Price and payment

Prices for products are quoted on our website. The website contains a large number of products, and it is always possible that some of the prices on the website may be incorrect. We will verify prices as part of our sale procedures so that a product's correct price will be stated when you place an order for the product. Should we have advertised or quoted the wrong price we will check that you wish to proceed at the correct price. If you wish to proceed with the purchase at the correct price, we will refund or charge the difference between the quoted price and the correct price.

Should you no longer wish to continue with your purchase following a pricing error; we will refund any monies paid and complete a cancellation of the sales order.

In addition to the price of the products, you may have to pay a delivery charge, which will be confirmed when you order the product.

Payment must be made prior to the release of the product to you. We may withhold the products and/or cancel the contract between us if the payment is not received from you in full in cleared funds.

The prices on the website include all value added taxes (where applicable).

Payment for all products must be made by cleared funds such as a bank transfer, debit card or by using our approved finance providers. Payments taken by credit card are limited transaction.

Prices for products are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect contracts which have come into force.

If you dispute any payment made to us you must contact us immediately and provide full details of your claim. If you submit an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back then you will be liable to pay us, within 7 days following the date of the charge-back: (i) an amount equal to the amount of the charge-back; (ii) all third party expenses incurred by us in relation to the charge-back (include charges made by our or your bank or payment processor or card issuer); (iii) an administration fee of GBP 50 (including VAT); and (iv) all our reasonable costs, losses and expenses incurred in recovering the amounts referred to in this paragraph (including without limitation the cost of legal fees and debt collection fees).Without prejudice to our other rights, if you submit an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back, then we may terminate any contracts between you and us under these terms of sale by giving you written notice of termination.

For the avoidance of doubt, if you fail to recognise or fail to remember the source of an entry on your card statement or other financial statement, and make a charge-back as a result, this will constitute an unjustified charge-back. 

(6) Your warranties

You warrant to us that:

(a) you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts, and you have full authority, power and capacity to agree to these terms of sale;(b) the information provided in your order is accurate and complete;(c) you will be able to accept delivery of the products;(d) you are resident in the United Kingdom; and(e) you are at least 18 years of age.

(7) Delivery policy

We will arrange for the products to be delivered to the address for delivery indicated in your order.

We will use reasonable endeavours to deliver products on or before the date for delivery set out in our order confirmation or, if no date is set out in our order confirmation, within 14 days of the date of our order confirmation. However, we cannot guarantee delivery by the relevant date. We do however guarantee that unless there are exceptional circumstances all deliveries of products will be dispatched within 30 days of the later of receipt of payment and the date of our order confirmation.

Distance and Off-Premises Sales:

a. If you are a consumer and this Agreement has been concluded (a) without any face to face contact between us or anyone acting on our respective behalves, or (b) in the simultaneous physical presence of you and us but in a place which is not the business premises of us, you may give notice cancelling this Agreement within 14 days of taking delivery of the Vehicle/Goods. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us in writing of your decision to cancel the Agreement (e.g. letter sent by post or e-mail to [email protected]).

b. In the event of a cancellation, it is your responsibility to return the Vehicle to us in the same condition and specification as it was delivered. You will be responsible for the direct cost of returning the Vehicle but, in any event, such cost shall not exceed the sum of £500.00 (Five Hundred Pounds). You must ensure that the Vehicle is returned with the same items with which it was sold. This includes (but is not restricted to): service packs, manuals, handbooks, locking wheel nuts, entertainment systems, tools & keys. If you have altered, modified, personalised, or adapted the Vehicle in any way you will have no right of cancellation.

c. We will make a deduction from the reimbursement if the Vehicle has suffered any diminished value due to you handling or using it beyond what is necessary to establish its nature, characteristics and function; i.e. handling or use beyond what a customer would reasonably undertake when appraising and test-driving a vehicle at a dealership prior to purchase.

d. The V5C registration document must be returned to us as soon as you receive it from DVLA. This forms part of the goods and no reimbursement will be made until this is received.

e. Providing the vehicle is returned to us in line with the conditions stated, we will process any reimbursement due within fourteen days of the date the Vehicle or V5C registration document (whichever is the later) is received by us. The reimbursement will be executed in the same way that payment was originally made, less any deduction for diminished value.

f. If the cancelled Agreement involved a part-exchange vehicle, we will return the part-exchange or pay the agreed part-exchange value to you at our discretion.

g. If you have committed to a finance agreement, you must inform the finance company immediately of the cancellation in writing. You will be liable for any early termination fees. We do our best to avoid such fees, and only apply them if the finance provider charges such a fee.

(8) Risk and ownership

The products will be at your risk from the time of delivery. Ownership of the products will only pass to you upon the later of:

(a) delivery of the products; and(b) receipt by us of full payment of all sums due in respect of the products (including delivery charges). We will be entitled to recover payment for the products even where ownership has not passed to you.

(9) "Cooling off" period

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, you may cancel a distance contract to purchase a product or products from us at any time within 7 days after the day you received the relevant products or products (subject to the limitations set out below).

In order to cancel a contract in this way, you must give to us written notice of cancellation.

If you cancel a contract on this basis, you must promptly return the products to us, in the same condition in which you received them.

If you cancel a contract on this basis, you will be refunded in full. However, you will be responsible for paying the cost of returning the product to us.

If you cancel a contract on this basis and you do not return the products to us, we may recover the products and charge you for the costs we incur in doing so. Similarly, if you return the products at our expense, we may pass that expense on to you.

(10) 7-Day Money Back Guarantee

Select Car Superstore are happy to provide you with a 7-day money back guarantee. This period begins from the day you collect or receive delivery of your vehicle. This is in addition to your statutory cancellation rights or your right to withdrawal.

Within the 7-Day Money Back Guarantee Period, if you request to cancel your order and return the vehicle to us your vehicle will be appraised by an employee of Select Car Superstore for any damage or mileage changes (calculated against the vehicle's mileage noted on your delivery or collection invoice). 

You will be liable for any damage present which was not noted when you accepted the vehicle. Any cost will be deducted from your final refund amount or charged to you; we will require these funds prior to a refund being processed. 

The 7-Day Money Back Guarantee will give all customers an additional mileage allowance of 50 miles for usage above the original recorded delivery or collection mileage. All mileage over and above the allowance will be charged at £1.00 per mile. This will be deducted from your final refund amount or charged to you, and we will require these funds prior to a refund being processed.

You will be responsible for the return of the vehicle back to Select Car Superstore. If you are unable to organise the return of the vehicle, we can make the arrangements, a charge of £2 per mile will be applied, you will be advised of the cost, and this will need to be paid before the agreed date of collection. For customers who purchase a vehicle who are located outside of the UK Mainland it is the responsibility of the customer to return the car to the place that the vehicle was collected from for collection. An example of this could be vehicle delivered to Liverpool docks for collection for a customer who lives on the Isle of Man. If the customer chooses to return the car within 7 days they must arrange for the car - at their own cost - to be returned to where they collected it from.

Your vehicle must be returned to us within 48 hours of your cancellation being accepted by us. This period will begin from the day we acknowledge your cancelation request, unless agreed otherwise with Select Car Superstore.

Your refund will be made within 5-7 days of the vehicle being returned to us. This period will begin from the day you return the vehicle to one of our dealerships.

If your agreed order included a part-exchange, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to return this. If your part exchange included negative equity from a previous agreement, you will be liable to pay this difference, and this amount will be deducted from your final refund amount or charged to you. We will require these funds to be paid prior to the vehicle being returned. 

No refund will be made until the vehicle has been appraised by a Select Car Superstore employee. If we intend to make any further deductions from your final refund amount, then you will be made aware of this amount prior to the refund.

(11) Statutory rights

Nothing in these terms of sale affects your statutory rights (including your right to receive a refund in respect of any defective product we sell to you).

(12) Refunds

If you cancel a contract and are entitled to a refund, we will usually refund any money received from you by cheque. We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days of the day we received your valid notice of cancellation.

(13) Limitations and exclusions of liability

Nothing in the terms of sale will: (a) limit or exclude the liability of a party for death or personal injury resulting from negligence; (b) limit or exclude the liability of a party for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by that party; (c) limit or exclude any liability of a party under Section 12, 13, 14 or 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or Part I of the Consumer Protection Act 1987; (d) limit any liability of a party in any way that is not permitted under applicable law; or (e) exclude any liability of a party that may not be excluded under applicable law. Any statutory rights which you have as a consumer, which cannot be excluded or limited, will not be affected by the terms of sale.

The limitations and exclusions of liability set out in this Section [and elsewhere in the terms of sale]: (a) are subject to the preceding paragraph; and (b) govern all liabilities arising under the terms of sale or in relation to the subject matter of the terms of sale, including liabilities arising in contract, in tort (including negligence) and for breach of statutory duty.

We will not be liable to you in respect of any losses arising out of any event or series of events beyond our reasonable control.

The payment we receive may vary between finance providers and product types. The payment received does not impact the finance rate offered.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18's or over, Guarantees may be required.

(15) Additional Information

Terms and conditions may vary slightly from lender to lender and will be explained in full upon approval.

Please note that the lender will remain the owner of the vehicle throughout the agreement and may become entitled to recover it if you fail to maintain your repayments.

Throughout the agreement you will hold responsibility for the vehicle's maintenance and upkeep. This is of significant importance if you chose to finance your vehicle using our personal contract plan or contract hire agreements as you could incur financial penalties for failing to correctly maintain the vehicle.

Representative finance examples are for illustration purposes only and the exact terms of your agreement, such as excess mileage charges, may vary slightly from lender to lender.

(16) Home Delivery

For reasons of fraud prevention, we are only able to deliver to your home address and prior to arranging delivery we will require a proof of your current address to be sent to us. This proof can be any of the following (driving licence / bank statement / utility bill - this must be dated within the last 90 days)

Delivery of your vehicle will take place at an agreed time to your home address. Should you, for any reason, be unable to sign/accept this delivery on the agreed day then you will be liable for the cost of this and any subsequent charges to return it.

Upon receipt of your vehicle, it is imperative that you fully inspect its physical condition. Once you have signed to accept the vehicle, we unfortunately cannot accept liability for any damage which was not noted when the vehicle is signed and agreed for by yourself at delivery.

We can only deliver to your home address, and you must be present at time of delivery as no other person can sign for the vehicle on your behalf. The delivery driver will need you to provide your driving licence as proof of ID.

If you decide not to complete your vehicle purchase with more than 48 hours' notice from a booked delivery slot, we will refund you the Deposit in the same way that it was paid. Should you fail to notify us of a cancellation within 24 hours of a scheduled delivery slot, you will be charged a “Cancellation Fee” of £199, and this will be deducted from the initial Deposit taken.
