We recommend that you carefully read these Terms that apply to our appointment by you and the services we will provide.
By asking us to quote for, arrange or handle the sourcing of a vehicle, the provision of leasing or finance, or for the provision of any other associated services, you are providing your informed agreement to these Terms of Business. We draw your particular attention to the section headed 'Data Protection Act' and how we may use your personal data.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We select personal and business leasing products from a range of leasing and finance providers having carried out a "fair analysis" of the market in order to identify a suitable product. This means that we have compared products from a sufficiently large range of leasing providers in terms of price, quality of service and suitability in relation to your circumstances.
We source finance and leasing products both directly with lessors, but also in some cases we may use a third party intermediary or manufacturer finance house in order to source the most suitable product for you. You can ask us at any time for details of the leasing providers or intermediaries we use.
Where you have asked us to process a vehicle order, related finance or other services we accept no responsibility for any loss incurred by you arising out of the contract between you and the underwriting finance provider and purported arrangements relating to the supply of any vehicle, save to the extent that such loss is caused by our negligent act or omission.
Our administration fee is shown on your order form and on the Information Notice sent with your order.
Our quotations are normally valid for a period of 14 days, however we reserve the right to vary any quotation subject to the following:
Errors and omissions made within any quotation document are specifically excluded, and we reserve the right to withdraw any quotation as a result.
Our quotations are subject to formal credit approval from our leasing providers, and the right to decline any application without providing a reason is reserved. Additionally, our lenders may impose varied terms on approval, including the provision of enhanced initial payments, or a request for a guarantee or indemnity.
Where an application for credit is declined, or where varied terms are requested by our provider, we will work to manage your expectations, and you shall be under no obligation to proceed with an order until such time as a New Vehicle Order form has been signed by you.
Where delivery of a vehicle exceeds a period of 90 days from the original date we obtained credit approval from our third party underwriting provider, it may be necessary for us to request re-approval. We do not accept any liability for losses incurred by you in the event that our underwriting provider decides to subsequently decline your application. In such circumstances, we will attempt to gain approval through an alternative provider, however, this may be at a different rate to the original signed order.
Our quotations include free delivery to any address within the UK mainland. However, we reserve the right to pass on to you any fees or costs we incur as a result of you amending delivery details or aborting a delivery once it has been booked with our supplier.
Estimated delivery dates are our best estimate and based on information provided to us, and you acknowledge that this could be subject to change. For the avoidance of doubt, we are unable to accept responsibility for manufacturer delays which are beyond our control, and in the event of cancellation of our service due to such a delay, a cancellation fee will be payable in accordance with our terms below marked Cancellation of Service.
Please note that not all of our finance partners allow connected services to be enabled on their leased vehicles.
The CO2 and P11D values are given as a guide only and are subject to change by the manufacturer. After you have signed and returned the customer new vehicle order form to us, the options and price can only be changed by signing an amended order form. Any changes are subject to approval by the supplying manufacturer and underwriting approval.
We do not accept responsibility for changes to the financial information section on the customer new vehicle order form in the event of manufacturer’s price changes or changes to government legislation or any other circumstances which are beyond our control.
We do not guarantee title, quality or performance of any vehicle. Whilst we bear no responsibility if you are not satisfied with the vehicle ordered, we will endeavour to liaise on your behalf with the finance provider and the supplier of the vehicle.
We normally receive commission when supplying vehicles. You are entitled, at any time prior to delivery of a vehicle, to request information regarding any commission which we may receive as a result of placing your business with us.
Whilst we will endeavour to place business with leasing companies and suppliers who are able to demonstrate an adequate level of financial solvency, we cannot guarantee the solvency of any provider, We will not in any circumstances act as the principal leasing company or provider nor guarantee or warrant the solvency of any leasing company or supplier.
We only accept monies which are due to our own business, and under no circumstances will we hold client monies which are due to be paid to any third party leasing company or provider.
We will process any personal information we obtain in the course of providing our services to you in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. In administering your business it will be necessary for us to pass such information to Credit Reference Agencies, leasing and finance companies, motor dealerships and other product or service providers which may also provide us with business and compliance support.
If you have asked us to submit an application for the provision of a leasing facility, both we and the lender may carry out a search with a credit reference agency who will record the search. On occasions we may have to try more than one lender from our panel to obtain a credit approval which may result in several searches being registered. Additional information may be required and lenders may on occasions contact employers as part of their checks. Alternative terms may be offered.
Non-payment of credit agreements and default will severely affect your credit rating and may result with the agreement vehicle being repossessed by the lender or action being taken via the County Courts. The way you conduct your agreement is registered with all the Credit Reference Agencies and therefore any default could severely affect your chances of being accepted for credit in the future.
We will never sell your data to a third party. We may also disclose details to relevant parties, as necessary to comply with regulatory or legal requirements. We may contact you or pass your details to other companies associated with us in order to promote products or services which may be of interest to you.

The cancellation fee will be no less than the deposit/initial rental quoted on the order form and no more than 10% of the vehicle cost. In addition there may be a fee payable to the supplying dealership for the vehicle on order for which you will also be liable in the event of cancellation.
In the event that you decide to cancel provision of our services, due to the delay of a vehicle beyond our original estimated delivery date, then you shall remain liable for a cancellation fee as described above, except where any delay is beyond 30 days from our estimated date.
Payment of a cancellation fee and any other amounts due to us can be made by Bank Transfer or by Credit or Debit Card. We do not charge a fee for processing by Debit Card, however a fee which reflects the amount we are charge by the merchant bank will be levied for payment by Credit Card.
