Orders for goods, and offers of part exchange allowances for any used motor vehicle, must be confirmed in writing by the seller and accepted by the purchaser, subject in either case to these conditions which shall govern the contract. The seller intends to rely upon the written terms set out here and on the Vehicle Order Form. If you require any changes to be made to the conditions, that would otherwise be binding, please make sure you ask for these to be put in writing. In that way, we can avoid any problems surrounding what the seller and you the purchaser are expected to do.
