Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery Autoparts24 ApS
1. In general
These Terms and conditions of Sale and Delivery (“Conditions”) apply for purchase of products on the website www.autoparts24.co.uk, owned by Autoparts24 ApS (“AP24”). Therefore, kindly read the Conditions thoroughly, before you place an order. Any derogation from these Conditions shall only be valid upon written consent with AP24.
2. Prices
All prices are informed both with and without VAT (Value Added Tax) if the country is in the EU. Time of delivery depends on which country the item is to be shipped to, and if delivery is to another destination outside EU, additional costs for this will be added. The final price is consequently only stated once the delivery country has been informed. For shipments outside the European Union, customs duties are imposed according to the specific country's rules, which rules is the customer's own responsibility to investigate. If you hold a commercial account with us, we reserve the right to claim 2% interest per month for amounts due if the payment deadline is exceeded. Furthermore, AP24 maintains ownership of the product until the total purchase amount incl. of interests and fees have been paid.
3. Ordering and contracting
Ordering is performed through the Web Shop. Compare the original item number or contact your local car dealer for extended advice prior to purchase, to avoid error orders. Should you need any assistance when purchasing, you may contact AP24’s client center. Opening hours available on our homepage.
Once you have ordered an item from AP24, you will initially receive an order confirmation and when the payment has been processed, you will receive an invoice. However, a binding purchase agreement is only entered into when you receive a Track & Trace mail confirming that the part has been shipped from that supplier. Since we do not have the goods in stock ourselves, the item may be sold out at the supplier in question. Therefore, a binding agreement with our supplier is only concluded once the goods have been confirmed in stock and shipped from there.
4. Payment
When paying by credit card, you are protected against unauthorized use. AP24 uses SSL (Secure Locket Layer) in the payment system. This means that the data sent in connection with credit card purchases is encrypted and thus only card acquirers (such as Bambora or PayPal) can read them. Neither AP24 nor our other partners can decipher the data.
The amount of your item will only be deducted at dispatch of the item. A higher amount than the one you have approved at the time of the purchase can never be deducted.AP24 accepts the following means of payment:
