17.1 If by operation of law the Customer is deemed to be dealing as a “consumer” in entering into the Contract, (i) nothing in the Contract affects the Customer’s statutory rights as a “consumer” and (ii) any warranties or guarantees which the Supplier transfers to the Customer will be in addition to the Customer’s statutory rights as a consumer.
17.2 If, and only if the Customer has acted as a consumer, where the Contract has been completed away from the Supplier’s business premises, and/or without any face to face contact with the Customer or their appointed representative, and provided the Customer has not requested that the Goods be materially modified to comply with the Customer’s Vehicle Specification, the Customer may give notice to cancel the Contract within 14 days of delivery or collection of the Goods or the Parts (as applicable).
17.3 For these purposes delivery of the Goods or the Parts shall mean when the Customer takes delivery or collects the Goods or Parts or otherwise takes physical possession of the Goods or Parts.
