8. YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL
8.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract (under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000) during the period set out below in section 8.2. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep the Goods, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. This cancellation right does not apply in the case of any made-to-measure or custom-made products. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
8.2 You may cancel a Contract at any time from the date of the Confirmation until the earlier of: (1) the date which falls 7 (seven) working days after the day you collected the Goods (working days means that Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays are not included in this period); or (2) the date on which the tyres are fitted (if this is prior to the expiry of the aforementioned 7 day period). You should note that you are entitled to inspect the Goods prior to them being fitted, and may cancel the Contract at any time prior to them actually being fitted.
8.3 You may cancel the Contract by calling into one of our fitting centres or by writing to the address or email address provided above. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you sent us the e-mail or posted the letter to us. If you call into a fitting centre to notify us of your cancellation, then your cancellation is effective from the date you visit us.
8.4 We will process your refund within 5 business days. Refunds are made in the same form of payment originally used for purchase. When a refund is made to a credit or debit card it may not show up in your account straight away as the clearing banks take time to process the refund. Typically this can take up to 7 (seven) working days, but varies depending on your own bank. If you would like further clarification on the timescales involved, please contact your card issuer.
8.5 If you cancel a Contract under section 8.1 of these Terms and if the Goods have already been collected by you:
(a) you must return the Goods as soon as reasonably practicable. If the Goods require collection, we will collect the Goods from you and will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection;
(b) unless the Goods are faulty or not as described, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Goods to us or, where relevant, the cost of us collecting the Goods from you; and
(c) you have a legal obligation to keep the Goods in your possession and to take reasonable care of the Goods while they are in your possession.
9. CANCELLATION BY US
9.1 We may cancel any Contract (or any part of the Contract) if for any reason the Goods are withdrawn by the manufacturer or by order of any governmental authority, in which event we will notify you by email and refund any payments you have made in respect of the Goods.
10. DEFECTIVE GOODS
10.1 If we fit the Goods at our fitting centre, we warrant that the Goods will be fitted properly and in accordance with the applicable specification (if any) for such Goods. This warranty lasts for the period of 3 months from the date of fitting. If at any time during this 3 month period you consider that the Goods were not fitted properly or were not fitted in accordance with any such specification, you must notify us (by emailing info@dealsontyres.co.uk or calling one of our fitting centres) within 48 hours of first becoming aware of the issue. We will arrange for you to bring the vehicle to our fitting centres, where we will:-
10.1.1 investigate the issue; and
10.1.2 re-fit any Goods which we determine were not fitted properly and in accordance with any applicable specification.
10.2 The Goods which are supplied by us will generally be subject to a manufacturer’s warranty. If you suspect that the Goods have a manufacturing defect, you must notify us (by emailing info@dealsontyres.co.uk or calling our fitting centre) as soon as you become aware of the defect. Your remedies in respect of any such alleged defect will depend on the terms of the manufacturer’s warranty. These warranties often contain time limits, so it is important that you notify us as soon as possible. If the Goods are still within the manufacturer’s warranty period, we will arrange for you to bring the vehicle to our fitting centre, where we will remove the Goods and return them to the manufacturer for testing. We can provide and fit replacement Goods at that time, although you will have to pay for such replacement Goods at our then current prices. The manufacturer will determine if the Goods are defective and the extent of any refund to which you are entitled. You should note that, in the case of tyres, the manufacturer may take tread wear into account when calculating any such refund. We will notify you in writing of the manufacturer’s decision, the amount of any refund which is to be paid to you and when such payment will be made.
10.3 Except as expressly provided in this section 10, this website, the service, and the Goods are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. The express warranties stated above are in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied or statutory, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and any warranty of non-infringement.
11. OUR LIABILITY
11.1 If we fail to comply with these Terms, we may be responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our negligence. We will not however be responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into the Contract.
11.2 Nothing in these Terms shall limit any rights you might have as a consumer or other legal rights that may not be excluded by law. We do not in any way exclude or limit our liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
(c) any breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (title and quiet possession);
(d) any breach of the terms implied by section 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (description, satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose and samples); and
(e) defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

13. OTHER IMPORTANT LEGAL TERMS
13.1 We will not be responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a Contract which are caused by an Event Outside Our Control. If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects our Contract with you we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you. Please note our obligations under a Contract will be suspended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control.
13.2 Each section of these Terms operates separately. If any of these sections is found by any court or relevant authority to be unlawful or unenforceable, the other sections shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect. If any section of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable but would be lawful and enforceable if some part of the section were deleted, the section in question shall apply with such deletion as may be necessary to make it lawful and enforceable.
13.3 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will do so only in writing, but that will not mean that we automatically waive any later default by you.
13.4 We may perform any of our obligations or exercise any of our rights under the Contract ourselves or where applicable, through any other persons (legal or otherwise) or entities.
13.5 We may transfer our rights and obligation under a Contract to another organisation but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing.
13.6 These Terms are governed by law of England. This means that a Contract for the purchase of Goods through the Website and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be subject to the laws of England. You and we both agree that the courts of England will have non-exclusive jurisdiction.
