1. PREVAILING CONDITIONS
The Contract between CEH and the Buyer constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. The Buyer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by or on behalf of the Seller which is not set out in the Contract.

2. ACCEPTANCE
No Contract will be created between CEH and the Buyer until CEH has dispatched written confirmation of its acceptance of the Buyer’s order. Quotations issued by CEH are not offers capable of acceptance so as to make a binding Contract.

3.2 CEH reserves the right to amend the specification of the Goods if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

4. DELIVERY
4.1 Delivery of the Goods shall be made by the Buyer collecting the Goods from CEH’s premises within 14 days of CEH notifying the Buyer that the Goods are ready for collection. The Goods will be delivered to the Customer only where agreed by CEH and at the Buyer’s cost.
4.2 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. CEH shall not be liable for any delay caused by an event outside of its control. In the event of such a delay, CEH shall notify the Buyer and agree an alternative date.
4.3 If 14 days after the day on which CEH notified the Buyer that the Goods were ready for delivery the Buyer has not accepted delivery of them, CEH may give notice cancelling the Contract and any sums paid by the Buyer shall be returned less a sum equivalent to a reasonable administration fee, any damages, loss or expenses which CEH may have suffered or incurred by reason of the Buyer’s default.

5. WARRANTY
5.1 CEH shall, where possible, ensure that the unexpired portion of the manufacturer’s warranty (if any) is transferred to the Buyer.
5.2 CEH will, subject to the terms of this clause, repair, free of charge as to parts and labour, any major defect in the Goods which becomes apparent within 3 months of delivery, providing the Goods are returned to CEH’s premises (or a workshop approved by CEH) within that period of time and the Goods have not been used for purposes.
5.3 The Buyer shall give written notice to CEH of any defect in the Goods within a reasonable time of discovery (and in any event within 3 months of delivery). CEH shall, subject to its own inspection, and at its sole option and discretion, repair any defective Goods (or the part in question). The Buyer acknowledges that CEH acts as an agent and is not in a position to issue a refund.
5.4 The Buyer acknowledges that the Goods are sold subject to such wear and tear as is reasonable for a vehicle of its age, type, usage and mileage.
5.5 This warranty given by CEH shall not be extended under any circumstances.

6. LIABILITY
6.1 Nothing in these conditions shall limit or exclude CEH’s liability for (a) death or personal injury arising from its negligence or the negligence of its employees, agent or sub-contractors; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other liability which cannot be restricted, excluded or limited by law.
6.2. Subject to condition 6.1: (a) CEH does not sell the Goods subject to any implied warranty or condition or any duty at common law, statute or otherwise, and all such warranties and conditions are hereby expressly excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law, save that CEH warrants that the goods shall conform with their description on the Order; (b) CEH does not sell the goods subject to any warranty or condition concerning the fitness of the Goods for a particular purpose; (c) CEH shall under no circumstances whatever be liable to the Buyer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with the Contract; and (d) CEH’s total liability to the Buyer in respect of all other losses arising under or in connection with any this Contract, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall in no circumstances exceed the purchase price of the Goods.
6.3 In particular, CEH shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered whatsoever as a result of (a) any inaccuracies shown in vehicle odometers; (b) animals that panic or misbehave or jump breast bars during transit or whilst inside the Goods; (c) any design or manufacturing faults in the Goods; (d) driver errors; (e) recovery costs; (f) Goods that are loaded over the maximum permitted gross vehicle weight; (g) the driver’s failure to hold the correct licence for the Goods; (h) the driver’s failure to check oil, water, vehicle lights and air lines prior to commencing any journey; (i) deterioration, manufacture faults, or any other failure following expiry of the 3 month warranty period; (j) any person standing behind the Goods’ ramp whilst in operation; (k) any inaccuracies published on CEH’s website; or (l) any person’s failure to ensure they fully understand the Goods’ equipment and functions.
