Where the Buyer purchases in the course of a trade, profession, vocation, hobby or sport (where the buyer is a specialist or enthusiast), it is agreed that such a buyer shall mean a trade buyer.

Where the term buyer appears within these terms it shall mean both trade and consumer buyer/purchaser unless specified as relating to a trade buyer or consumer buyer individually.
Goods or equipment shall mean the items detailed in the appropriate section of the sales/order form and it shall be a core term of this agreement that all ancillary items are additional to this agreement unless specifically detailed within the sales invoice/order form.
Price shall mean the consideration due for purchase and shall exclude VAT unless otherwise stated. Purchasers should note that prices quoted may vary during the currency of brochures (upwards or downwards) and current prices are quoted at the time of order. In respect of orders placed via the Internet, these shall not be accepted by us until confirmed.

GENERAL
These conditions shall apply to all of the Company's quotations and contracts, orders (including telephone orders) for the sale or supply of goods accepted by the Company. For the trade buyer, any other terms or representations, whether implied by statute, made prior to, collateral with or subsequent to the contract or order are hereby excluded and shall not be binding upon the Company. For the consumer purchaser, representations shall only be binding upon the Company if confirmed in writing by the Company.
The Company reserves the right to amend technical or clerical errors in any order without notice. In addition, the buyer shall ensure that all details contained within the order are correct and no liability for any error or inaccuracy shall lie with the Company unless notified in writing to the Company at
Performance Centre, Austin House, Newland Street, Witham,
Essex, CM8 2BA, England of such error within seven days of receipt of any document containing the said error.
Brochure descriptions, Web Site information and samples on display are indicative only and any specifications, weights, measurements and technical data (whether relating to performance or otherwise) have been prepared by manufacturers and are for guidance only and shall not form a description within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act (as amended). Buyers are therefore required to check current specification,
colours, weights and measurements with manufacturers, prior to order, as no liability shall be accepted by this Company for any claim arising
therefrom. Manufacturers also reserve the right to amend specifications, without notice, in order to improve products or where amendment becomes necessary.
GUARANTEES
All guarantees for products are provided entirely by the manufacturers/UK importers and are subject to terms contained therein.
LIMITATIONS UPON LIABILITY
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.
Compatibility of goods is not guaranteed where modifications or alterations have been made to vehicles and the Company shall, in such circumstances, and entirely at its discretion, 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.
Where goods purchased by the buyer are alleged to be defective, the purchaser agrees to return such goods
at the purchaser's expense to the seller for inspection and report (without the seller replacing the said goods prior to such inspection). The purchaser further confirms that it shall be reasonable for the seller to inspect, repair or replace (at its option) such defective goods and allow manufacturers to undertake inspections so as to allow production methods to be modified. 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.
Competition goods are supplied for specialist use and are subject to extreme heat and 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 and it is agreed that such use shall be a relevant circumstance for the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended). 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.
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 its own negligence.
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 that the part supplied is incorrectly supplied, defective or otherwise not in accordance with the order.
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 strikes, lockouts, civil disputes, acts of God, war or actions by third parties.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall confer, nor is it intended to confer, a benefit on any third party (for the purposes of the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or for any other purpose).
PAYMENT TERMS
Goods purchased are subject to VAT at the UK rate of 17.5% within the European Union. Prices do not include any import tax or duty that may be liable in the recipient's country of residence.
Quotations are given on the assumption that no variation in the price will be made by the manufacturer/sole importer and that Government levies remain unaltered. In the event of such changes, the buyer shall be liable for the full cost thereof without notice from the Company. Buyers are hereby informed that calling down of smaller quantities of material than ordered may increase the overall price per unit, there being reduced economies of scale in order. The resultant additional cost shall be the buyers.
Unless otherwise stipulated within the sales invoice/order form, all accounts are strictly net and payable with order or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the trade buyer's credit account. Where default occurs in payment by the trade buyer, default interest shall become payable in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 at the maximum rate permissible thereunder or in accordance with the credit terms agreed or, where the buyer is a consumer, at 2% above the base rate of the Lloyds TSB Group
PLC.
