You are responsible for ensuring that the Order and any Specification submitted by you are complete and accurate.

1.2 For the avoidance of doubt, only trade customers can purchase Goods via email or telephone. All customers purchasing Goods for personal use must submit their Order via the Website. Orders submitted by customers for Goods for personal use will be rejected if attempted to be placed via email or telephone.

1.3 Your Order shall only be deemed accepted by Exotic Auto Parts when you have paid for the Goods and your payment has been received by Exotic Auto Parts. Any e-mail or other electronic acknowledgement by us of receipt of an order prior to receiving payment in full from you does not constitute legal acceptance by Exotic Auto Parts of your Order.

1.4 All Orders placed via this website are subject to stock availability. In the unlikely event that you are able to place an order for an item that is not in stock, we will contact you as soon as possible. You will have the option to wait until the items are available or to cancel your order. If you elect to cancel your order, you will be refunded in full.

1.5 Exotic Auto Parts will retain details of your order in our database, and these details can be made available to you on request. Please contact our Customer Service team. 

1.6 Where you have been directed to this website from a third party site, these sites are independent of Exotic Auto Parts, and Exotic Auto Parts is not responsible or liable for the content of these sites. Customers should consult the terms and conditions of the particular third party site for more information.

2.1. Products are described on the website or in the Specification. 

2.2 Exotic Auto Parts reserves the right to amend product descriptions on the website if required and as necessary.

2.3 Representations of colour online are as accurate as our photographic and electronic processes will allow. Please note that colour online can also be affected by the calibrations of different output devices, and you should not rely on these when making your purchasing decisions. 

2.4. All weights and sizes are supplied as a guide only and are approximate.

2.5 Guided Sales, Buyers Guides and all other advice articles have been produced by Exotic Auto Parts to help you in your purchasing decisions and to give guidance. 

These articles are provided for general information, but if you are in any doubt, you should seek help from an appropriate professional. Exotic Auto Parts accepts no liability for any loss, damage or injury arising as a result of the advice contained on our website.

2.6 In the event that there are any errors regarding price or description that affect your order, we reserve the right to correct that price or description and notify you accordingly. 

In the unlikely event that this occurs, you will not be bound to continue with your order. You may proceed with your order, as revised with the correct price or description, or you may cancel your order. Upon cancellation, you will be refunded in full. 

The repayment by us to you of all amounts paid to us will be the extent of our liability to you as a result of these errors.

Upon receipt of your payment, your order is final and cannot be cancelled or returned due to ordering the incorrect items, misdiagnosis, or change of mind.

In the event that we deliver incorrect goods (i.e., those not specified in your order), we will assume responsibility for all costs related to the return of the incorrect items to us, as well as the shipping of the correct goods back to you.

Any incorrect goods must be reported within 48 hours from the date of receiving.

Delivery charges calculated by the website during the checkout process are an estimate.

An accurate shipping price will be calculated once your goods have been packaged up and are ready for dispatch.

In the event that the original estimate does not cover the shipping costs, then you will be contacted with the option to select an alternative delivery option or pay any additional fees as required.

Unfortunately, penalties will be imposed by all shipping companies if a parcel is particularly large in size compared to its weight, this is commonly known as “voluming out” or dangerous goods items such as batteries, seat belts, or airbags. This means that sometimes we are unable to accurately quote shipping for orders until we have packed the parcel and confirmed the shipping cost.

We have accounts with most major international couriers, including DHL, UPS, FedEx, and TNT. We will select the most cost-effective shipping option; however, please inform us if you have a preferred courier.

We generally utilise UPS or DHL for our parcel deliveries; however, we also use various freight forwarders that specialise in larger shipments.

Our company policy is to pass on the shipping and insurance costs directly to the client without any additional markup.

We are unable to accept the cancellation of your order due to the shipping invoice that is provided to you.

We provide global shipping using packaging supplied by the manufacturers and factories listed above, including Aston Martin, Bentley, Land Rover, Lotus and Porsche.

Kindly be informed that all manufacturers and factories, including McLaren, Aston Martin, Bentley, Lotus, Land Rover, Jaguar, Volvo, and Porsche, provide glass items to us in a cardboard box. We recommend that you encourage the manufacturing of a wooden box (at your expense) for the shipment of your order.

This will guarantee that glass items remain intact and undamaged during transportation. We take no responsibility for glass goods shipped in cardboard boxes that are damaged or broken in transit.

10.2. We aim to assist you by advising you when your order is likely to be dispatched, but we cannot issue written or verbal guarantees about dispatch dates.

You must take out and maintain insurance for your order for its full insurable or replacement value before we will ship your order to you. We are not liable for any damage sustained to your order after it has been dispatched by us to you.  

All genuine parts are covered by the manufacturer warranty according to their terms and conditions; these are usually only covered if:

Unfortunately, Exotic Auto Parts cannot make warranty applications on your behalf as all warranty claims must have the parts inspected while on the vehicle and diagnostic reports completed.

We will of course help out in any way we can and provide documentation or paperwork we are able to supply to aid your claim however we cannot submit or manage a manufacturer warranty claim on your behalf.
