MINSTER CAR CO LTD
(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 Minster Car Co Limited (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 cash 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 01482 870055.
(4) The products
MINSTER CAR CO LTD
Used and New vehicles as advertised on our website. Our suppliers include, but are not limited to, ex fleet or company vehicles, personal contract hire returns, part exchanges, daily rental, Motability returns, driving school and direct purchases from members of the public. Due to the high volumes of vehicles we buy and the vast number of suppliers we deal with it is not possible to display the exact prior use of every vehicle we purchase, but if you do require more detailed information about any of our vehicles then please discuss this with a member of our team.
(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.
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 or credit card OR by using our approved finance providers.
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.
MINSTER CAR CO LTD
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.
