If you have made a mistake in your order and cannot correct it in the shopping cart; please contact us as soon as possible and we will correct the mistake.

When confirmation of your order is received; this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order (and hence a contract between us) when we send you an order acknowledgement. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing; such as inadvertently under-pricing goods or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price; we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

We want you to be happy with your purchase and to have full confidence that we are here to look after you should anything go wrong. We understand that you are trusting us with your purchase and we thank you for that. For our part, we intend to ensure you are completely satisfied with the products and services we supply. International customers will receive the same warranties and service and please be assured; we make every effort to ensure that your purchasing experience with us will be easy and trouble-free. The world is a very small place today and deliveries to most international destinations are as quick and easy as local ones.

All of our products are continually tried and tested. We employ the latest technology in our production and it would be very rare if our products were too big or too small for the intended application. This is particularly relevant with car hoods. Under normal circumstances; every hood will fit precisely but not everyone can fit a hood precisely. Claims for poor fit are almost always installation issues. If you have a problem; we ask that you don't automatically assume the hood is at fault. We sell and fit 1000's and we see and know most of the installation problems. If you have a installation problem; we are only to happy to help. Digital photographs can be e-mailed to us to help us assist you.

Mistakes sometimes happen and warranty claims are rare but nevertheless can happen. We will gladly correct our mistakes and deal with your warranty claims but please understand that we are responsible for our product only and not the installation or removal.

All of our products are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Damage resulting from incorrect installation, car manufacturers design problems, pinching or wear and tear during lowering and raising of the hood frame, normal wear and tear, incorrect cleaning materials, improper cleaning methods or atmospheric conditions are the responsibility of the buyer.

No warranty is offered or implied on plastic windows after installation. Plastic windows need special care and attention. They can last 10 years or 10 minutes. For instance: They can crack in cold conditions and they are easily damaged if the hood is incorrectly lowered. On some cars the car hood folds into such a small space that creasing is inevitable.

We recognise that occasionally extraordinary situations arise. This warranty / returns policy is extended to cover the majority of transactions. Special situations will be handled on an individual basis.

Warranty for our products is one year from date of purchase.

Warranty claims and refunds are prorated from the purchase date; based on the estimated normal product service life.

Under no circumstances shall we be responsible for any other form of consequential damage including installation costs, removal costs, damage to associated products, vehicle hire costs or loss of profit arising out of the use or inability to use the products supplied.

No claim for any breach of warranty herein shall be valid unless delivered in writing to the company within the warranty period.

Buyer submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of English Law and English courts.

We offer a 14 day money back guarantee should you not be entirely happy with your purchase. (Excludes shipping costs). This only applies to items made in the original quality materials and colours. I.E. items made in non-standard colours and materials for your vehicle are considered "Made To Order" and can only be returned if defective.
