Delivery & Returns Terms

Fitted Orders

Additional delivery days may be required for fitted orders in these areas too. RAC Tyres will endeavour to avoid these delays where possible. We will be in touch to advise of any potential delays. If any additional delivery fee is required this will be clearly listed against your chosen garage.

1. Delivery

   1. Where a Customer has booked the Fully Fitted Service, delivery of the Goods shall be made by RAC Tyres when the Goods are to be fitted to the Customer's vehicle by the fitting centre specified in the Order Confirmation, or such other address as shall be approved of in advance by RAC Tyres.
   
   

2. Returns

   1. In the case of the Mail Order and Fully Fitted Services and subject to Clause 3.2, within 7 days of the day after the day of delivery of the Goods to the Customer, or before the arranged fitting date, the Customer shall be entitled to cancel the Contract, return the Goods and receive a full refund (or where the goods have not been paid for, full credit), provided that the Goods have not been used in any way, are in the same good condition in which they were received by the Customer and are returned to RAC Tyres.  In such event the Customer shall be responsible for the costs of returning the Goods and shall indemnify RAC Tyres or demand against all and any such costs. If RAC Tyres collects the goods, RAC Tyres retains the right to charge the customer for any direct costs associated with the return of the goods. No additional restocking charge or administrational charge will be added in accordance with Distance Selling Regulations. RAC Tyres can be contacted for an accurate cost on returning goods as costs may vary depending on tyre specification and location For more information on your right to withdraw from your purchase within the seven working day cooling-off period, visit the Department of Trade and Industry's website at: http://www.dti.gov.uk/consumers/buying-selling/distance-selling/index.html
   
   
   2. Subject to Clause 3.1, refunds to the Customer are entirely at the discretion of RAC Tyres.  In the event that RAC Tyres, in their sole discretion, grant a refund to a Customer, any costs incurred by RAC Tyres in procuring that refund shall be borne by the Customer.
   
   

3. Liability

   1. RAC Tyres shall be under no liability in respect of any defect in the Goods arising from any inaccuracy in the Customer's Order.  RAC Tyres shall have no liability for errors in any Customer's Order and any loss (or otherwise) that may arise therefrom.
