during telephone/Internet orders is based entirely upon information given by
you, the purchaser with no inspection of any vehicle or part undertaken. As
such, all advice given is indicative only and all such advice should be checked
by the purchaser prior to order. Where advice is given after visual inspection
by employee representatives of this company, such advice shall amount to an
opinion only. Additionally, goods supplied are supplied only to correspond to

any liability, howsoever arising, in respect of any express or implied
condition, warranty or term, statement, representation whether statutory or

defective, the purchaser agrees to return such goods to the seller for
inspection and report (without the seller replacing the said goods prior to
such inspection). The purchaser also accepts that it is reasonable to inform
the seller of any interruption, defect or other failure prior to contacting
independent third parties or incurring expense and, in addition, to allow the
seller to remedy the defect, failure or interruption. Parts modified or adapted
by the purchaser shall no longer be warranted by the manufacturer nor shall the
Company be liable for any failures resulting subsequent to modification as a
result of such modification.

relevant and important issue in any claim brought against the Company and the
Company shall, in turn, place importance upon this clause. In addition, parts
connected to parts supplied by this company may be placed under stress where
specialist/competition parts are used, and purchasers should take advice from
experts prior to purchase. Manufacturers may also limit guarantees when
components are installed for competition use.
21. Where goods are alleged to be either defective,
incorrectly supplied, delayed or otherwise in breach of the implied terms of
the buyers’ statutory rights, all losses which result from loss of competition

supplied or otherwise not in accordance with the order.

to supply or other interruptions caused by matters beyond the reasonable
control of the company, including but without limitation, strikes, lockouts,

25. Spoton Nuts and Bolts markets its products on the basis
that they will be used for domestic use
only, if you are planning to use them for business purposes please make sure

products in the course of a business, we exclude (to the fullest extent
permitted by law) those warranties and conditions relating to fitness for a
particular purpose. Our maximum liability to business users arising out of or
in connection with the products shall be limited to the replacement value of

cost of the item in the event of a claim for breach of warranty or condition.

or not in any way that varies or extinguishes rights or benefits in favour of
