2.2 Website information and samples on display are indicative only. Additionally, parts or components pictured or described within the website are for illustration purposes only and may vary in size, specification, colour and fitment, dependent upon the make and model of your vehicle. Buyers are therefore required to check current specification, colours, weights and measurements with the Company prior to order.

3. Limitations upon Liability
3.1 Advice given by agents or servants of this Company during telephone/internet orders or enquiries 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, amendment or modification.
3.2 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 the 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.
3.3 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, adaptation or alteration, the Company may accept such goods back into stock entirely at its own 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.
3.4 Where goods purchased by the buyer are alleged to be defective, the purchaser agrees to notify the seller within 28 days of receipt and return such goods to the seller for inspection and report (without the seller replacing the said goods prior to inspection) at the buyers expense. The purchaser also accepts that it is reasonable to inform the seller if 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 Company, nor shall we be liable for any failures resulting subsequent to modification as a result of such modification.
3.5 Goods supplied by the Company and used by the purchaser for completion purposes are subject to extreme stress whilst in use. Life expectancy and durability are greatly reduced and purchasers should note that any claim for failure/wear, shall not be entertained by the Company. It is acknowledged by the buyer of such goods that the foregoing statement shall be a relevant and important issue in any claim brought against the Company and the Company shall, in turn, place importance upon this clause. 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.
3.6 Where goods are defective, incorrectly supplied, delayed or otherwise in breach of the implied terms of the buyers statutory 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.
3.7 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.
3.8 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 other actions by third parties.
