It is at this stage that we will start to perform the services.

6.6 Once the vehicle has been sourced, the details of your order will be communicated to our panel of finance providers and you will need to enter into a separate Finance Agreement with them or enter into your own finance arrangement to lease, hire, or otherwise financed the Vehicle from the relevant dealer supplying the Vehicle.

6.9 If you are a consumer and you cancel the contract for these Services within the 14 day Cancellation Period, you may still be liable to pay the Arrangement Fee and/or Deposit (or a reasonable proportion). We refer you to clause 9.4 and 9.6(a) for further details. 

6.10 In the event that We are unable to locate any Vehicles stated on the Order Confirmation at the price stated, or after We have started to perform the Services, We will inform you of this by e-mail and will not proceed any further.

If you opt to cancel the Contract, you may be liable to pay for the Services in full or in part, and your attention is drawn to clause 9. 

9. Your consumer right of cancellation and refund 

This clause 9 only applies if you are a consumer.

9.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel the contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the Cancellation Period as set out in clause 9.2, where you are a consumer within the definition of those Regulations. This means that during the Cancellation Period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive the Services, you can notify Us of your decision to cancel the contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

9.2 Your legal right to cancel a contract starts from the date you receive the Order Confirmation (which is the date when the Contract between Us is formed). Your deadline for cancelling the contract is the end of 14 days after the day you received the Order Confirmation (Cancellation Period). For example: if you place your Order on 1 January and We send you and Order Confirmation on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.

9.3 To cancel a contract, you just need to let Us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to email info@spc-cars.co.uk

9.4 If you cancel your contract we will refund the Arrangement Fee, Deposit, Initial Payment or any other monies received from you. However, please note that We are permitted by law to charge a reasonable fee for the Services in circumstances where you have requested the Services to be performed in accordance with clause 9.6(a) or 9.6(b) during the cancellation period and deduct such reasonable fee from the monies held which could be up to the full amount of the arrangement fee, deposit, initial payment or any other monies received from you. Such fee shall be:

  • (i) in proportion to what Services have been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of our contract.
  • (ii) calculated on the basis of the total price agreed in the contract for our Services or, if the total price is excessive, on the basis of the market value of the service that has been supplied, calculated by comparing prices for equivalent services supplied by other suppliers. We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.

9.5 Because you are a consumer, We are under a legal duty to supply the Services in conformity with these Terms. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Services that are provided not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

9.6 However, this cancellation right does not apply where you have:

  • (a) requested the Services to be performed during the Cancellation Period and you have acknowledged that you will be responsible to pay the Arrangement Fee and/or Deposit (or a reasonable proportion) for the Services during the Cancellation Period; or
  • (b) placed an Order for Vehicles which are made to your individual specifications and are clearly personalised in circumstances where this has been communicated to you in advance of Us performing the Services.

10. Our rights to cancel

10.1 If we have to cancel before the Services start:

  • (a) we may have to cancel the contract before performing the Services, due to an Event Outside Our Control or the unavailability of key personnel and/or any of the Vehicles without which We cannot provide the Services. We will promptly contact you if this happens.
  • (b) If we have to cancel the contract under clause 10.1(a) and you have paid an Arrangement Fee and Deposit for the Services which have not been provided to you, We will refund these amounts to you. We will also return the Initial Payment to you (where applicable).

 10.2 Once We have begun to provide the Services to you, We may cancel the contract for the Services at any time and for any reason, by providing you with notice in writing. If you have already paid the Arrangement Fee, Deposit and/or Initial Payment, We will refund these amounts to you.

10.3 We may cancel the contract to perform the Services at any time with immediate effect by giving you written notice if:

  • (a) you fail to pay the Arrangement Fee, Deposit and/or Initial Payment following Our requests to you as communicated from time to time; or
  • (b) you break these Terms in any other material way and you do not correct or fix the situation within 7 days of Us asking you to in writing.

11. Delivery

11.1 We will provide you with an estimated delivery date of the Vehicles once this has been received from the relevant dealer supplying the Vehicles or the estimated date provided by the Manufacturer. Please note that time shall not be of the essence and this clause does not constitute any obligation to arrange delivery of any Vehicle by a specified date. Occasionally Our ability to perform the Services may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 18 for Our responsibilities when this happens

12. International orders 

12.1 Unfortunately, you will not be able to place an Order from outside the UK. 

13. Price of vehicles and delivery charges 

13.1 The prices of the Vehicles will be as quoted on Our Site at the time you submit your Order.

However please see clause 13.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of any Vehicle ordered.

13.2 Prices for the Vehicles may change from time to time, and any changes that affect the price of an Order that you have already placed will be communicated to you. In these circumstances, you will be able to cancel your Order if such changes are not acceptable to you.

  • (a) the cost of delivery by the relevant dealer to your chosen UK mainland destination;
  • (b) the cost of number plates;
  • (c) the cost of any road fund licence for the term of the Finance Agreement (if applicable); and
  • (d) the cost of any vehicle registration charge. 

13.5 Our Site contains a large number of Vehicles. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Vehicles listed on Our Site may be incorrectly priced. If We discover an error in the price of any Vehicle, We will contact you to inform you of this error and We will give you the option of continuing with the Order at the correct price or you may cancel. We will not process your Order until We have your instructions. If We are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided, We will treat the Order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

13.6 Whilst We endeavour to always display the correct rate on Our Site at the time of Order, rates fluctuate due to manufacturers pricing, adjustments in finance companies residual values and dealer or manufacturer discount levels. This does not mean that the price for your Order is incorrect, should be changed or you have a right to cancel pursuant to clause 13.5 but that the price for the same or similar vehicle as contained in your Order has been amended on our Site after placing your Order.

13.7 Whilst every effort is made to state or provide quotations, manufactures standard and optional equipment details accurately, no responsibility can be accepted for fluctuations in interest rates, manufacturer’s prices and specification changes or otherwise.
