Selecting a 'preferred' date/time does not guarantee or oblige the Seller to commit to this date/time

9.3 If your order is more urgent it is sometimes possible to arrange same day fitment of the Products and/or carry out fitting services.

Pricing for same day or urgent orders will be confirmed prior to the carrying out of the work. The Seller neither makes nor implies any guarantee or promise to provide or deliver a same day service but will endeavour to oblige where possible.

9.4 The fitting of the tyre/tyres to your vehicle will be subject to a visual inspection of your vehicle, wheels and tyres prior to commencement of the work. This is to ensure that you have selected the correct tyre specifications for your vehicle.

9.5 It is your responsibility to ensure that you have selected the correct tyre size and to check your current tyre specification currently fitted to your vehicle and to ensure that you have the locking wheel nut key. In the event that you
(a) order incorrect tyres through the Website, the Seller shall use its usual business processes to source the correct tyres and reschedule the fitting appointment;
(b) do not have the locking wheel nut key, you may opt for the Seller's locking nut removal service as set out below. Should you decide not to use the Seller's service you can either reschedule or cancel the fitting appointment.

9.6 We will use our reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Appointed Franchisee arrives with you for the agreed appointment time and we will inform you as soon as is reasonably possible of any delays or complications with the agreed time.

The Seller will always attempt to contact the Purchaser whenever possible to inform of projected delays or issues which may result in a delay or cancellation of an appointment.

9.9 'Work' is usually carried out (but not limited to) at the roadside on sealed public highways, within pre-determined car parking spaces and/or private driveways. Lifting equipment is used that enables the safe removal of wheels on your vehicle(s). The technician will determine whether the surface allows for safe working practices to be adhered to, but he/she does not have the means to test suitability of the surface for potential damage caused during the process of lifting etc. It remains your responsibility to consider the suitability of the surface (for example: recently laid block paving/tarmac driveways etc) and, if necessary, discuss moving the vehicle(s) to an alternative location.

In the event that, after work has been completed, a TPMS warning light remains illuminated, please, in the first instance, refer to your vehicles owner manual to carry out the recommended reset procedure. Where any time has elapsed since work had been carried out, please immediately check the air pressure within each tyre to identify any potential pressure loss.
