Once a sale transaction has been agreed and a deposit payment has been received by Litchfield the contract is effective. The necessary arrangements will be put into place. Therefore cancellation or withdrawal of an order will result in the deposit amount being held by Litchfield.
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. Litchfield will be entitled to recover additional costs we incur in reselling the vehicle plus any reduction in the sale price achieved. If it is not sold within a reasonable time frame, we will sell the vehicle or parts at auction.
The vehicle will belong to Litchfield until the total purchase price has been paid in full and cleared our bank account. A cheque or bankers draft will not be treated as payment until it has been cleared by the bank.
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.
Litchfield endeavours to correctly market each product/vehicle, however we cannot be held responsible for errors in published details.
Litchfield require the purchaser to collect their new vehicle in person from our premises.
Where you wish to sell us a vehicle in part exchange, the value as agreed by Litchfield will be reduced from the purchase price of the vehicle we agree to supply, provided that you own the vehicle to be taken in part exchange and its ownership can be transferred to Litchfield Imports.
Outstanding finance is declared and cleared prior to being transferred to Litchfield.
The part exchange vehicle should be delivered in the same condition as it was on inspection prior to the sales contract. Ownership of the part exchange vehicle will transfer to Litchfield on the day of handover.
If you fail to satisfy any of these conditions we will not be obliged to accept your vehicle in part exchange. If a compromise cannot be agreed, the purchaser maybe required to pay the whole purchase price for the vehicle supplied by Litchfield.
