Buy Online Terms and Conditions

Online Valuation

Any valuation generated by the Buy Online Tool (an "Online Valuation") is based on the information you tell us about your car (the "Car") and on the following general assumptions we make about your Car (the "Assumptions"):

• ALL questions answered accurately
• it is not an import, i.e. it is a right-hand drive vehicle with UK registration plates;
• it has not ever been subject to an insurance write off or used for private hire, rental, driving tuition or as a police vehicle;
• there are no major mechanical faults with the car;
• it does not have a personalised registration plate, or, if the vehicle has a personalised registration plate it will remain with the Car and no value is assigned to it;
• Any damage has been described accurately.
• it has an engine which starts and it can idle on its own, run and move freely through all gears.
• you have two sets of keys for the car.

You have the option at the Online Valuation page to amend any of the assumptions and provide us with some further detail about your car.

The minimum Online Valuation is £25.00.

An Online Valuation is not an offer by us to purchase the car. It is simply a tool to enable you/us to estimate the value of your car and the price which we may be willing to pay for it in exchange for your vehicle of interest.

We always carry out a physical inspection of the Car before we conclude the sale After you have received an Online Valuation and completed the online ‘’buy online process’’ we will call to arrange handover of your new car.

If, on inspection of the car at the appointment, we consider that the value of the Car is affected by any aspect of its history or condition, including any unusual feature or customisation or anything which affects or limits the assumptions we made about the Car, which was not apparent to us when we gave the Online Valuation, the price that we may be willing to pay for it following an inspection (the "Price") is likely to differ from the Online Valuation. This is rare, as long as all questions have been accurately answered.

We are not obliged to purchase any car brought to a handover. (in particular we reserve the right to turn you away from an appointment if you are selling the Car for commercial purposes, e.g. in the course of a motor trade business) and neither are you obliged to sell any car brought to an appointment.

Price Guarantee

Subject to our inspection of the Car (as explained further above), the Online Valuation is guaranteed until the 26th day of the month we are in. e.g 27th January, the vehicle would need to be reassessed, unless authorised by the Sales Manager.

If there is a significant price change within the 7 day guarantee period, we will use reasonable endeavours to contact you to let you know that the Online Valuation has changed.

Purchase Contract

A binding agreement to purchase the Car will only be made between us once you have signed our standard written order form. Your sales executive will conclude this with you.

Hand-over Requirements

At the time of making the Contract, we will expect you to provide us with:

• all copies of the Car's keys you have;
• the Car's registration document (together with appropriate proof of purchase if requested by us);
• the Car's service history (if any);
• the Car's MOT certificate (if any);
• the Car's user manuals (if any); and
• any accessories there may be such as a locking wheel nut, radio fascia or remote controls.

In the event that you fail to comply with these hand-over requirements, you agree that we have the right to withdraw any offer to buy the Car with immediate effect, to rescind or terminate any Contract with immediate effect, and/or to indicate a revised Price at which we will be prepared to purchase the Car. If we elect to rescind the Contract, we will return the Car to you, and you will refund the Price to us.

Collection/Delivery

Collection from one of our dealerships is totally free of charge. Your Sales Executive will confirm what times are available.

Delivery is charged at a minimum fee of £75 within a 40 mile radius of our Ripon dealership. Delivery is charged at £2 including VAT per mile thereafter.

Vehicle Pricing

Whilst we endeavour for all of our vehicle pricing to be up to date, sometimes technological defects do happen. Whilst payment is completed online, the purchase of the vehicle is not binding until a vehicle order form has been signed and sent by Batchelors Motor Group.

We hold no responsibility for errors with vehicle price and in particularly road tax. These figures will be confirmed by your sales executive.

Online balance payment/finance

We will confirm once funds have been cleared to our bank accounts if you choose to purchase the vehicle outright through WorldPay. With a finance deposit, this balance will not be taken until vehicle handover.

The Codeweavers platform – which provides our finance figures is designed to collect data sufficient for us to propose your details to our panel of lenders. This system conducts a ‘’soft search’’ on your data to ascertain how likely it is that you will be accepted for finance. In completing this form, you are offering us explicit consent to use your data for this purpose.

Cancellation/Returns policy

If you wish to withdraw from the sale before handover, you must contact us to arrange cancellation and return of funds at least 24 hours prior to collection. We must take this opportunity to remind you that completing a transaction online, is legally binding according to distance selling regulations.
