• return them to us as soon as possible. If this is the case, you must keep the goods in your possession, take reasonable care of them, and not use them before you return them to us.

7.6 If you do not return any goods when you should have done (e.g. you have not paid for them) we may collect the goods from you at your expense. We will try to contact you to let you know if we intend to do this.

7.7 Nothing in this clause affects your legal rights to cancel the contract during the ‘cooling off’ period under Clauses 4 and 5.

7.8 The price of the goods:

• U.S DOLLARS;
• includes VAT at the applicable rate;
• does not include the cost of delivering the goods to any address outside those listed on our website (please email us at info@exoticcarpartsus.com if you want your goods delivered outside of these countries); and
• does not include any applicable import, export or other duties. You will need to pay these in addition.

Your selection of goods

• It is your responsibility to ensure that the goods which you have chosen to order on our Website are of the correct specification (e.g. size, model) so that they are able to be fitted to the vehicle to which you want to fit them.
• It is your responsibility to ensure that the goods which you have chosen to order on our Website will not, when fitted to your vehicle, invalidate the terms of any applicable agreement, such as a vehicle lease, hire purchase agreement or manufacturer’s warranty.
• It is your responsibility to ensure that the goods are fitted to your vehicle in the correct way. We strongly recommend that you use a reputable vehicle garage business to fit the goods to your vehicle.

Faulty, incorrect, missing or damaged goods

• The goods usually come with a manufacturer’s warranty. The scope and duration of the warranty varies from product to product and will usually cover manufacturing defects but not damage caused by misuse, alteration, or general wear and tear. You should refer to the terms of the warranty supplied with the goods. You may contact us in the first instance and we may inspect the goods and/or may be able to deal with your query through a phone call or email.
• You should not make any further use of goods where you discover a defect as this may affect your rights under the manufacturer’s warranty. You should also complete any warranty card details to claim under a manufacturer’s warranty and provide a copy of your receipt together with a note detailing the problem and the reason for the return.
• You should inspect the goods when you receive them for defects or damage. Items delivered by courier which are clearly damaged on delivery must be signed for as such or refused and returned to us.
• Where goods have been damaged in transit, please let us know as soon as possible. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject the goods you must allow us to collect the goods from you. We will pay the cost of collection. Please contact our customer services team at info.exoticcarpartsus.com to arrange collection of the goods. All such damaged goods should be in their original packaging (even if damaged) and must not be used or fitted to any vehicle. We may ask you to take photographs of the damaged goods so that we can see the condition that the goods were in when they were delivered to you.
• If we have dispatched an incorrect item and you wish to exchange it, please let us know and we will exchange it for the correct item and pay agreed costs of returning the item.
• Non-delivery of an order should be reported to us as soon as possible so that we can try and remedy the situation without undue delay. Please let us know if you have not received your order within 7 working days of the date of dispatch so that we can start investigating as soon as possible. Dispatch is confirmed by e-mail. If an item is lost in transit, we may not dispatch a replacement immediately. Re-sent or replacement items will be dispatched at our discretion or subject to availability, once all tracking and investigative avenues have been exhausted.
• Any refund in respect of faulty goods will also include corresponding delivery charges. If we do not find any fault or defect then your cancellation and refund rights are limited to those set out also in Clauses and 5 above, though this does not affect your statutory rights.
• You must take good care of the goods while in your possession. If you fail to do so and the value of the goods reduces as a result of how you handle the goods before returning them to us and where you have caused the damage as opposed to that damage being caused in delivery, then we reserve our right to withhold that amount which may otherwise have been due to you.
