Distance Selling Regulations - having your car delivered through Richard Sanders Ltd
Where choosing to order your vehicle remotely and having your vehicle delivered, the terms and conditions of your sale change a little bit. To ensure you fully understand how this effects your purchase please carefully read the points below;
What is the ordering process?
You can reserve your car online or over the phone with a refundable reservation payment of £99. The Richard Sanders Sales Team will then help to arrange finance if needed. We’ll confirm the vehicle availability and ensure that the condition of the car meets our certified standard.
We’ll then send you a Vehicle Order outlining all the details of the order, for you to confirm your acceptance. At this point we will ask for a deposit upon your acceptance of the order.
Can I cancel after ordering?
If you change your mind, you can cancel at any time before you sign the Vehicle Order for a full refund of the reservation payment.
Once you sign the Vehicle Order, we will secure the car for you and preparation for delivery will begin. At this point, the reservation deposit will no longer be refundable under the conditions of our Reservation Service, should you need to cancel.
Delivery
For reasons of fraud prevention we are only able to deliver to your home address and, prior to arranging delivery, Will require your driver’s licence to be verified. We will not deliver the car to you if we have not received this.
Upon receipt of your vehicle it is imperative that you fully inspect its physical condition. Once you have signed to accept the vehicle we will, unfortunately, not accept liability for any damage which was not noted during your vehicles delivery.
