FINANCING METHODOLOGY AND DISCLAIMER
All Prices displayed on the website are inclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT).
We advertise that motor vehicles may be purchased through us and paid for in instalments. Our suggested vehicle finance agreement consists of a loan for the purchase of the vehicle, to be repaid over an agreed number of months, subject to existing market related interest rate per annum and an agreed balloon / residual % which payment is due in full at the end of the finance period. Keeping it generic as we have different calculations per car. Our suggested calculation / method of vehicle finance calculation is subject to change, without notice to you, and approval by the financial services provider (“FSP”). Please be aware that, in consideration of an application by you for vehicle finance, the FSP will consider your realistic ability to pay, creditworthiness and history and monthly payment obligations. The FSP’s assessment methods fall outside the scope of our business and we specifically deny having any influence or control over their decision, which, once approved or declined, will be considered final by us.
The FSP may approve your application for finance, subject to an alternative structuring, for example a loan period of 60 (sixty) months at their chosen interest rate. We will present the FSP’s suggested loan offering to you for consideration but deny any liability, damages or loss incurred by you in choosing to accept a vehicle financing arrangement or any structuring.
We strictly accept no liability for losses or damages incurred by you or any third-party in the event that the FSP declines to provide financing in the purchasing of a motor vehicle from us. We further deny the ability to provide or assist you with any recourse against the relevant FSP, should you dispute their decision or methodology. All ‘cash-back’ promotions shall only be effective, if you successfully qualify for and fully finance the selling price of the vehicle on promotion. We accept no liability for any misunderstandings, inconveniences, damages or losses incurred in this regard.
CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT
If these Terms (or any contract governed by these Terms) or the Services provided and/or made available on the Website are regulated by or subject to the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, as may be amended from time to time (the “Consumer Protection Act”), it is not intended that any provision of these Terms contravene any provision of the Consumer Protection Act. Therefore, all provisions of these Terms must be treated as being qualified, to the extent necessary, to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act.
No provision of these Terms (or any contract governed by these Terms):
does, or purports to, limit or exempt us from any liability (including, without limitation, for any loss directly or indirectly attributable to our gross negligence or wilful default or that of any other person acting for or controlled by us) to the extent that the law does not allow such a limitation or exemption;
requires you to assume risk or liability for the kind of liability or loss, to the extent that the law does not allow such an assumption of risk or liability; or
limits or excludes any warranties or obligations which are implied into these Terms (or any contract governed by these Terms) by the Consumer Protection Act (to the extent applicable) or which we give under the Consumer Protection Act (to the extent applicable), to the extent that the law does not allow them to be limited or excluded.

Any disputes arising in connection with these Terms and our Services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in South Africa.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid (including, without limitation, because such provision is inconsistent with the laws of another jurisdiction) or inapplicable, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavour to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision.
The termination of any contract created by these Terms will be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that you or we may be entitled to under the agreement or at law, and will not affect any of our or your accrued rights or liabilities nor the coming into or continuance in force of any provision of these Terms which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after such termination.
