AUTO EDGE – GENERAL TERMS

Performance
Auto Edge will undertake the tasks necessary to provide the contracted Services to the Customer within the time specified in the Customer Instructions and agreed to in writing by Auto Edge or, failing that, within a reasonable time. Where the time for performance and/or delivery is agreed in writing, it is only an estimate and not a guarantee and Auto Edge shall not be liable for any delay in that respect. Auto Edge may by notice to the Customer or Owner, at its sole discretion and at any time, refuse to provide any Services in relation to any Vehicle and where it does so, shall not incur any liability to the Customer, Owner or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Auto Edge may refuse to provide any services where:

  • Customer Instructions are unclear or ambiguous.
  • the Customer Instructions conflict with the wishes of the Owner of the Vehicle.
  • Auto Edge considers it would be at risk, for whatever reason, should it perform the services. Where Auto Edge refuses to provide any services in accordance with sub-clause (b) the Customer shall be liable for all costs and outlays incurred by Auto Edge in relation to the Services provided up to the point of refusal.

Deviation from Customer’s Instructions
Subject to sub-clause (b) and (c), Auto Edge will take reasonable steps to perform the Customer’s Instructions. Auto Edge or third parties may, in their sole discretion, depart from the Customer’s Instructions in any way without prior notice to the Customer and without incurring any liability to the Customer, Owner or any other Person. Auto Edge or third parties may, in their sole discretion, depart from the usual or customary manner or method for providing any Service without prior notice to the Customer and without incurring any liability to the Customer, Owner or any other Person.

Services in Conjunction
The provision of Services may be undertaken in conjunction with the provision of Services to other Customers or third parties unless specifically agreed in writing prior to the commencement of the Service.

Special Service Offers (Packages) Terms and Conditions

From time to time Auto Edge will offer Service Packages to their clients and prospects. The prices offered are general in nature and subject to vehicle inspection and model confirmation. Should the make of the vehicle (or the vehicle condition) require additional servicing attention, parts or servicing labour, an additional fee<s> may be charged.

Auto Edge reserves the right to refuse acceptance of service package flyers entirely at their own discretion. Vehicle make, condition, time of attending the appointment or service timeframe required by the customer are all factors that may lead to service refusal.

The service package offers and savings expressed are indicative of savings that may be experienced by vehicle owners under standard conditions with standard vehicles. Pricing varies from time to time, season to season and between parts. *prices start from the advertised price and savings are up to the advertised price depending upon the make, model, and service required on the vehicle.

Insurance
No insurance will be affected, except upon express instructions given in writing by the Customer, and where insurance is effected, it will be at the Customer’s cost and subject to the usual exceptions and conditions of the policies of the insurance company or underwriters taking the risk. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Auto Edge is not under any obligation to effect separate insurance on any Vehicle but may declare it on any open or general policy held by Auto Edge. If Auto Edge agrees to arrange insurance, it will do so only as agent for the Customer.

Vehicle at Risk of Customer upon Delivery
Whether or not Auto Edge is required to deliver the Vehicle to the Customer or Owner, the Vehicle shall be at the risk of the Customer or Owner, from the time the Vehicle leaves the premises of Auto Edge, and thereafter Auto Edge shall be under no liability to the Customer or Owner in damages or otherwise for any loss, damage, delay or any cause whatsoever.

Special Delivery Arrangements
Except by prior written agreement or under the terms of a printed document signed by Auto Edge, any Customer Instructions relating to the delivery or release of Vehicles in specified circumstances are accepted by Auto Edge only as agent for the Customer if third Persons are engaged to effect compliance with the Customer Instructions.

Auto Edge accepts no liability arising from the types of arrangements referred to in sub-clause (a).

Auto Edge – Liberties
Unless specifically agreed in writing between the Customer and Auto Edge prior to the commencement of the Service, Auto Edge may provide the Service as a principal or procure it as an agent. If Auto Edge acts as a principal, it will perform, or in its own name procure the performance of the Services contracted, subject to the provisions of any specific contract for Services it may issue under Clause 2.1, failing which these Terms in general and this Clause, in particular, will apply:

  • Auto Edge shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever and however arising whether direct or indirect or consequential for Goods supplied, installed or fitted in the course of providing Services.
  • Auto Edge reserves to itself the liberties as to the means and procedures to be followed in the provision of Services.
  • Auto Edge will be deemed to have taken the Vehicle into its charge when the Vehicle has been received by Auto Edge or has been released or handed over by the Customer, or any Person acting on behalf of the Customer, to any Person acting on behalf of Auto Edge in accordance with any directions of Auto Edge for the performance of the Services.
  • Auto Edge will be deemed to have delivered the Vehicle, either when it has been placed at the disposal of the Customer (or its nominee) or Notice thereof has been given to the Customer (or its nominee) at the address provided by the Customer.

  • The Customer expressly authorises Auto Edge to enter into contracts with third parties on behalf of the Customer for the Services required, unless the Customer and Auto Edge have specifically agreed otherwise.
  • For the purposes of this Clause, third parties include; Auto Edge’ parent, subsidiary and/or associated companies (if any).

  • If there is a choice of prices according to the extent or degree of the liability assumed by third-party contractors, no declaration of value will be made, except under prior written Customer Instructions accepted by Auto Edge; nor will Auto Edge be liable to the Customer by reason of having entered into any contract on behalf of the Customer whereby the extent or degree of the liability assumed by a third party contractor is in any respect excluded or limited.
