- Changes
- 6.1 Your rights to make changes to your Order – If you wish to make a change to the Products you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the price of the Products, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the Contract (see Clause 9 – Your rights to end the Contract).
- 6.2 Our rights to make changes – We may change Products:
- 6.2.1 to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and/or

- Price and payment
- 7.1 Where to find the price for the Product and Services – The price of a Product and Services (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your Order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Product advised to you is correct. The prices listed on our Site are inclusive of fitting the Products to your vehicle at your chosen Quattro-Tech site. However please see Clause 7.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of a Product you have ordered.
- 7.2 If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your Order and the date we take payment for the Product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay to account for such changes.
- 7.3 Incorrect pricing – It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your Order so that, where the Product’s correct price at your Order date is less than our stated price at your Order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Product’s correct price at your Order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your Order. If we accept and process your Order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any Products provided to you.
- 7.4 We accept payment by most major credit or debit cards and Klarna (your Payment Method).
- 7.5 Unless your chosen Payment Method collects payment from you immediately upon placing your Order, you must pay for the Products before they are dispatched by our suppliers.

This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
- 7.7 If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
- Delivery of the Products
- 8.1 The costs of delivery are included within the total fitted price displayed on our Site.
- 8.2 We will deliver or facilitate the delivery of the Products to your chosen site as reasonably possible and in any event within 60 days after the day on which we provide our Order Confirmation.

Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the Contract and receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not had fitted to your vehicle.
- 8.4 If you do not attend your chosen site on the date agreed, we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further costs.

- 8.5 When you own the products – You will own the Products once we have received payment in full.
