TERMS & CONDITIONS

Aki Motors Ltd – Trade Sale Terms & Conditions
1. Application and Definitions

These Terms & Conditions apply to all vehicle sales made by Aki Motors Ltd (“the Seller”) to business customers (“the Buyer”).
By purchasing a vehicle, the Buyer confirms they are acting in the course of a business (sole trader, partnership, or company) and not as a consumer.


2. Trade Sale Basis

All vehicles are sold strictly on a trade sale basis. Vehicles are without warranty, and no guarantees are given unless expressly stated in writing.
Aki Motors Ltd carries out a basic visual safety check to confirm roadworthiness at the time of sale, but this does not constitute a mechanical inspection.
Buyers are strongly advised to conduct their own inspection prior to purchase.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, all statutory implied terms under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 are excluded.

3. Inspection and Acceptance

The Buyer acknowledges they have had the opportunity to inspect and test the vehicle before purchase.
Completion of the purchase constitutes acceptance of the vehicle’s condition and agreement to these Terms & Conditions.
No further claims for faults, defects, or misdescription will be accepted once the sale is completed.

4. Price and Payment

All prices are quoted in pounds sterling (£) and are exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise.
Full payment must be received and cleared before the vehicle is released.
Ownership and title shall not pass to the Buyer until full payment has been received.

5. Deposits

A deposit may be required to reserve a vehicle.
All deposits are non-refundable, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Aki Motors Ltd.
If the Buyer fails to complete the purchase within the agreed time, Aki Motors Ltd reserves the right to retain the deposit and resell the vehicle.

6. Distance Sales

Where vehicles are sold remotely (by telephone, email, or online), the sale remains a business-to-business transaction.
The Buyer does not have a statutory right to cancel or return under consumer law.
Once a vehicle is collected by or delivered to a third-party transport company, risk transfers to the Buyer.

Any returns or cancellations must be agreed in writing and are entirely at the discretion of Aki Motors Ltd.

7. Refunds and Returns

Refunds, returns, or cancellations are not offered as standard.
If Aki Motors Ltd agrees in writing to accept a return, the vehicle must be returned:

In the same condition as at sale, and

At the Buyer’s cost unless otherwise agreed.

Any refund amount will be determined at the discretion of Aki Motors Ltd, taking into account usage and resale value.

8. Warranty Options

Vehicles are sold without warranty unless the Buyer purchases an optional warranty plan.
Optional warranties may be available through approved providers such as Momentum Care Warranty or WarrantyWise and are subject to those providers’ terms.
Aki Motors Ltd may offer a goodwill warranty at its discretion, but this is voluntary and not a statutory entitlement.

9. Liability and Indemnity

Aki Motors Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, or incidental loss arising from the purchase, resale, or use of any vehicle.
Nothing in these Terms shall exclude liability for:

Death or personal injury caused by negligence,

Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or

Any liability that cannot be excluded by law.

The Buyer agrees to indemnify Aki Motors Ltd against any claims, costs, or liabilities resulting from their use, resale, or export of the vehicle, except where caused by the Seller’s negligence.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms & Conditions and all transactions between the Buyer and Seller are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
Both parties agree that any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

11. Variation of Terms

Aki Motors Ltd reserves the right to update or modify these Terms & Conditions at any time.
The version in effect at the time of sale shall apply to that transaction.
