LIMITATIONS UPON LIABILITY
11. Advice given by agents or servants of this company during telephone/email or Internet orders is based entirely upon information given by the purchaser with no inspection undertaken. No liability can therefore be accepted by the company for incorrect advice given and all such advice should be checked by the purchaser prior to order.

12. Where advice is given after visual inspection by agents or servants of this company, such advice shall amount to an opinion only and the company shall not accept liability for any inaccuracies. Additionally, goods supplied are supplied only to correspond to the purpose for which goods of that kind are commonly supplied and not alternative uses to which they may be put. No liability for failure can be accepted by this company for such alternative use, amendment or modification.

13. 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.

14. 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.

14 A. No liability is accepted by the company where parts do not fit on overseas cars, we can not be expected to know every overseas country's specifications! However we are happy to exchange goods as long as carriage fees / taxes are met by the customer.

15. Where goods purchased by the buyer are alleged to be defective, the purchaser agrees to return such goods 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 additional 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.

16. Competition goods are supplied for specialist use. Life expectancy and durability are greatly reduced and purchasers should note that any claim for failure/wear&tear 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. Engine upgrades which run at higher power levels such as forged pistons, rods, bearings, and engine builds by us carry no warranty.

17. Where goods are defective, incorrectly supplied, 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.
