5.4 It is possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the vehicles we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before providing you with the Order Form but if we accept and start to process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel your order and refund you any sums you may have paid.

We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the order was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
10.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Vehicle as summarised at clause 7.3.2.

You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Purchase Terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.. If you sell your vehicle within 12 months of acquiring it we may require the person to whom the warranty is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the Vehicle. For example we may ask them to provide a valid insurance policy and V5C showing that person as the registered keeper.

12.6 Even if we delay enforcing these Purchase Terms, we can still opt to enforce them at a later date. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Purchase Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breach of these Purchase Terms, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Vehicle, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
12.7 These Purchase Terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Vehicle in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Vehicle in either the Scottish or the English courts.
