While Litchfield will make every effort to deliver the vehicle or parts ordered by the estimated delivery date, we will not be liable for any claim for compensation of any description that may result from delay due to reasons beyond our control. If delay arises in this way, we will contact you to agree an alternative delivery date.
If you, the purchaser, cannot pay for and/or take delivery of your vehicle or parts within 21 days of us notifying you that the vehicle is ready, we will treat the contract as cancelled. If this happens or you cancel the contact for any other reason, we will sell the vehicle or parts to another party.

If it is not sold within a reasonable time frame, we will sell the vehicle or parts at auction.

If the vehicle ordered is new Litchfield will undertake pre-delivery work specified by the manufacturer. All vehicles will be sold with the benefit of the manufacturer's warranty, a Litchfield supplied warranty or a third party warranty. Warranty applies to road use only, unless otherwise agreed.
If the manufacturers recommended price or Litchfield selling price is significantly increased we will liaise with you so that the necessary arrangements can be made.
If we are unable to deliver the specific model of vehicle ordered because the manufacturer ceases manufacturing whether before or after the estimated delivery date, we may cancel the contract and refund any deposit you have paid in full.
