Deposits
5.1 All deposits paid are non-refundable
When you pay a deposit you are paying in part for a product (or service). Paying a deposit shows that you intend to buy the item and it means you are entering into a contract with Advanced In-Car Technologies Ltd. There may or may not be a contract in writing, but doing it verbally still means a contract is in place, meaning there are obligations on both yourself and Advanced In-Car Technologies Ltd.
When you pay a deposit, you and Advanced In-Car Technologies Ltd agree:
- the product or service that you are buying
- the amount of deposit you pay
- when the balance has to be paid
- when the product or service will be provided
As the majority of our equipment is vehicle specific we have to order the equipment in based on Chassis / VIN Number. This could for example also include spraying of sensors. This means it would not be possible to install this into another vehicle.
Please do get in touch with us directly if you need more information or clarification. We’re happy to help where we can.
