Terms and conditions
1. Introduction
These Terms and Conditions govern all vehicle sales between the Seller and the Customer. By paying or signing the invoice, the Customer confirms acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. Customers are advised to read them carefully before making any payment or entering into a purchase agreement.
2. Deposits on Vehicles
To reserve a vehicle, the Customer may be required to pay a deposit of £200 unless otherwise agreed in writing. The deposit secures the vehicle for a period of seven (7) calendar days, during which the Seller will not sell the vehicle to another party. The deposit is deducted from the final purchase price of the vehicle.
For sales completed in person, after the Customer has inspected the vehicle, the deposit is non-refundable except where the Seller withdraws the vehicle from sale.
For distance sales, where the Customer has not inspected the vehicle in person prior to payment, the transaction is subject to the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. The Customer may cancel the purchase within fourteen (14) days of delivery. If cancellation is made within this period, the deposit and any other payments will be refunded within fourteen (14) days of the vehicle being returned, provided the vehicle is returned in the same condition as supplied. Reasonable deductions may be made for any loss in value resulting from use or damage while in the Customer’s possession.
3. Inspection and Vehicle Condition
Where possible, Customers are encouraged to inspect vehicles in person before completing the purchase. For distance sales, the Seller will provide accurate descriptions, photographs, and video walkarounds of the vehicle. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of these materials, minor variations may occur.
All vehicles are sold as seen unless stated otherwise. It is the Customer’s responsibility to satisfy themselves as to the vehicle’s condition, history, and suitability prior to purchase.
4. Payment and Ownership
The total purchase price must be paid in full before collection or delivery of the vehicle. Accepted payment methods include bank transfer, debit card, and credit card. Ownership of the vehicle transfers to the Customer only once full payment has cleared into the Seller’s account.
Where payment is made by card, it must be authorised by the cardholder, and the card must be registered in the Customer’s name. Fraud prevention checks may be carried out before accepting card payments.
5. Card Payments and Charges
In accordance with the Payment Services Regulations 2017, a 1% charge or administrative fee will be applied to payments made by debit or credit card from consumer customers. For business-to-business transactions, the Seller reserves the right to apply a reasonable processing fee for card payments, which will be disclosed prior to payment being made.
6. Delivery and Collection
Collection or delivery dates are estimates only and may vary due to circumstances beyond the Seller’s control. Delivery charges, where applicable, will be confirmed in advance. The Customer must ensure that someone is available to receive the vehicle at the agreed address and time. Risk in the vehicle passes to the Customer upon delivery or collection.
7. Cancellation and Returns for Distance Sales
If the Customer purchases a vehicle without seeing it in person, they may cancel within fourteen (14) days of receiving it. The Customer must notify the Seller in writing of their decision to cancel. The vehicle must be returned within fourteen (14) days of the cancellation notice, at the Customer’s expense unless otherwise agreed. Refunds will be processed within fourteen (14) days of the vehicle being returned, subject to inspection. The Seller may deduct an amount to cover any reduction in the vehicle’s value caused by handling beyond what is necessary to establish its nature, characteristics, and functioning.
8. Warranties
Any warranty offered by the Seller will be clearly stated in writing. Unless a warranty is expressly provided, vehicles are sold without any implied warranties other than those required by law. Statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 are not affected.
9. Limitation of Liability
The Seller shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage arising out of or in connection with the sale of any vehicle, except where such liability cannot be excluded under UK law. The Seller’s total liability shall not exceed the amount paid by the Customer for the vehicle.
10. Data Protection
The Seller will collect and process Customer data only for purposes related to the sale, financing, or delivery of the vehicle and in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Personal data will not be shared with third parties except where required to complete the transaction or as required by law.
11. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
DISTANCE SELLING ADDENDUM
(This section applies only to sales concluded at a distance where the customer has not inspected the vehicle in person.)
1. Introduction
This Distance Selling Addendum forms part of the Vehicle Sales Terms and Conditions. It applies where the Customer purchases a vehicle without viewing it in person before the contract is concluded. These terms are provided to comply with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
2. Right to Cancel
The Customer has the right to cancel the purchase within fourteen (14) days from the day after delivery of the vehicle, without giving any reason. To exercise this right, the Customer must inform the Seller in writing by email or post before the cancellation period expires.
3. How to Cancel
To cancel, the Customer may use the following wording or similar:
"I hereby give notice that I wish to cancel my vehicle purchase Registration____________, ordered on___________ and delivered on _________."
This notice should be sent by email to dave.ash@revellion.co.uk or by post to Unit 5, Marrtree Business Park, Cedar Rd, Thirsk YO7 3FF .
4. Return of Vehicle
If the Customer cancels the contract, the vehicle must be returned to the Seller within fourteen (14) days of the cancellation notice being given, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Customer is responsible for arranging and paying for the vehicle’s return, unless the Seller agrees to collect it. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as when delivered, with all keys, documents, and accessories.
5. Refunds
The Seller will refund all payments received from the Customer, including the deposit and any delivery costs charged for the original delivery (except any additional cost for express or non-standard delivery if chosen by the Customer). The refund will be processed within fourteen (14) days of the vehicle being returned or proof of return being provided, whichever is earlier.
The Seller may make a reasonable deduction from the refund if the vehicle has been handled in a way that has caused a reduction in its value, such as additional mileage, damage, or wear not necessary to establish its nature, characteristics, or functioning.
6. Exemptions
The right to cancel does not apply where the vehicle has been viewed and inspected in person prior to the sale being agreed, or where the Customer is acting in the course of a business.
7. Condition of Vehicle on Return
If the vehicle is damaged, altered, or has covered significant additional mileage beyond what is necessary for inspection, the Seller reserves the right to deduct an appropriate amount from the refund to reflect the reduction in value.
