13. PERFORMANCE GOODS
13.1. Performance goods are supplied for specialist use and usually alter the vehicle from manufacturers’ specification. They can be subject to extreme use when compared to the usual goods that we supply ("Performance Goods"). The life expectancy and durability of Performance Goods can differ to standard goods depending on the item, and therefore you should note that a claim for failure or wear of the Performance Goods shall not be entertained by us. Any warranty claims sought in relation to Performance Goods shall be strictly subject to the manufacturers’ warranty terms for such items. It is also important that you know if an item falls into the category of Performance goods, for example uprated exhausts/suspension/air filters/performance brake parts. If you are unsure it is your responsibility to seek advice.
13.2. No liability shall be accepted by us where you attempt to modify or install Performance Goods where it is known or ought reasonably to be known by you that the Performance Goods have been incorrectly supplied or otherwise not in accordance with your order. Further, due to the stress that is placed on connected parts to which the Performance Goods are supplied, we strongly recommend that specialist advice from our experts is sought prior to purchase to ensure the Performance Goods are satisfactory for your vehicle. It is also recommended that you gain advice from a specialist garage to ensure the item purchased is suitable for your vehicle or planned use.
13.3. In the event that you purchase any Performance Goods, you must ensure that you are aware of the following:
13.3.1. Performance Goods and any modifications to your vehicle may render your motor vehicle insurance to be invalid and may also invalidate any vehicle warranty cover you may have. We bear no responsibility on any failure by you to advise your insurers or warranty providers, or for the invalidity of such policies;
13.3.2. Some Performance Goods are designed solely for track and race use, and it is your responsibility to ensure any alterations made to your vehicle are compliant and in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements in the IRISH or the country in which you use such vehicle;
13.3.3. Performance Goods and any modifications to your vehicle may adjust the emission output of your vehicle, and it is your responsibility to ensure that any alterations made to your vehicle are compliant with the legal and regulatory requirements for emission in Ireland or the country in which you use such vehicle; and
13.3.4. it is your responsibility to ensure that any Performance Goods applied to vehicles or any modified vehicles on public roads are legal, safe and compliant with Irish regulatory requirements for use on public roads.
13.3.5. As Performance Goods are not standard equipment, parts fitted, electrical parts or parts supplied specifically for a performance or modified vehicle cannot be returned unless deemed as faulty under the manufacturers’ warranty. Therefore, Performance Goods are exempt from the ‘No Quibble’ option as set out in clause 14.2.2 below; and shall only be subject to the warranty provisions as contained within clause 14.2.1 below.
14. WARRANTY
14.1. Subject to clause 13.1, each of the Goods (except lubricants which shall include liquids, oils and coolants etc.) are supplied with the benefit of a warranty given by the Goods’ manufacturers (details of which will be provided to you with the Goods or otherwise on request ("the Warranty")) provided that you comply with the conditions set out in clause 14.2 as well as any provided with the Warranty ("Warranty Conditions").
14.2. If Goods become faulty during the period of the Warranty for reasons unconnected with your acts, omissions or misuse of the Goods, you can (subject to clause 14.6) opt to use one of the following two options:
14.2.1. notify us in writing and by completing a warranty claim form (including a description of the fault) and return such Goods to us. Such Goods shall be returned to the manufacturer for review and testing which may take up to 8 weeks. Based on the manufacturers’ opinion and further subject to clause 14.5 and 14.6, we will repair, (or at our sole option) replace such Goods with the same or Goods which are like for like, without charge or not provide any of the aforementioned. The manufacturer’s opinion shall be final, and binding and we shall have no further liability to you. If Goods become faulty after expiry of the Warranty, we will not be held liable for any replacement or repairs that you request for such Goods.
14.2.2. certain Goods may qualify for our ‘No Quibble’ exchange policy (details of which Goods qualify can be found in-store or at request). Should the Goods you purchased qualify and comply with our Warranty Conditions, they can be exchanged for an immediate replacement of the same Goods purchased (for the avoidance of doubt, no other goods can be exchanged for the Goods purchased and only a like for like exchange will be accepted) and we shall waive our right to have the Goods previously purchased by you and returned for exchange, to be tested. You must note that should you opt for the No Quibble exchange, we will return the Goods purchased to the manufacturer and/or have them destroyed, and you will have no rights to make any further claims (such as those listed within clause 19.4) in relation to the Goods returned. You will need to complete a warranty claims form (which will be provided in-store) confirming your acceptance to our ‘No Quibble’ exchange policy.
14.3. Your sole remedy in respect of a failure of the Goods to comply with the Warranty is as set out in the Warranty Conditions.
14.4. We will be afforded reasonable opportunity and facilities to investigate any claims made under the Warranty and you will (if so, requested in writing by us), promptly return any Goods (the subject of any claim) and any packing materials, securely packed with carriage paid, to us for examination.
14.5. We will have no liability with regard to any claim in respect of which you have not complied with the warranty claim procedure in the Warranty Conditions.
14.6. The above warranty is given by us subject to us having no liability in respect of any defect arising from wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, tampering of the Goods, incorrect fitting of the Goods by you and/or a third party, abnormal working conditions, failure to follow our and/or the Goods’ manufacturers’ instructions (whether oral or in writing), misuse or alteration or repair of the Goods without our approval.
15. REFUNDS POLICY
15.1. When you return Goods to us:
15.1.1. which are incorrectly supplied and/or are returned as new in their original packaging (and as per 15.1.2), such Goods shall be refunded, exchanged or replaced if they are returned within 30 days of the date of purchase of the Goods and proof of purchase (in the form of our invoice for the original supply of the Goods) is supplied; and
15.1.2. for any other reason, we will examine the returned Goods and will notify you in writing or via e-mail within a reasonable time of the refund (if any at all) to which you are entitled. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible thereafter. For any entitlement of a refund to be due to you, the returned Goods must be in the same condition in which you received them with the original packaging and the product documentation. The Goods must not have been used (such as any smell of without limitation fuel, toxins or rubber shall invalidate any refund due to you) and, where applicable, must not have been removed from the sealed clear packaging. This includes electrical items, which are supplied in sealed clear packaging. Goods returned to us because they fail to comply with the Warranty shall be refunded in accordance with the provisions of the Warranty Conditions.
15.2. "Special Order" means any Goods that are not held in stock by us (a non-stock item which may include some WS Goods) and are therefore ordered and/or manufactured specifically as per your request. Payment in full is required for such Special Orders at the time the Special Order is placed with us. Special Orders are non-refundable except at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to apply a restocking fee of 25% of the price of the Special Order, which shall be deducted from any refund due to you."
15.3. We will normally refund any money due to you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. This may take your bank approximately 3-5 working days from the date the refund is processed by us.
15.4. Please Note: we will not accept responsibility for loss or damage of returning Goods during transit.
