(a)the used vehicle is your absolute property. No one else has any rights over the vehicle, and it is free from all encumbrances or charges; or

6.3.You will arrange for the used vehicle to be delivered to Us on or before the Goods are delivered to You (subject to anything different you may agree with Us). The property in the used motor vehicle shall pass to Us immediately upon such delivery. The actual time of delivery will be the time the keys to the vehicle are passed to Us or our agent.

7.3.If You request, We will provide a written explanation as to why there is a delay in delivery. We will always, where possible, take steps to prevent or minimise any delay.

If You're financing the vehicle

8.2.To exercise this right to cancel, You must contact Us either by email to internet.enquiries@lshauto.co.uk or in writing to LSH Auto UK, Lawley Middleway, Birmingham, West Midlands, B4 7XH, giving Us a clear statement that shows You want to cancel this agreement. You can use the model cancellation form attached at Schedule 1 to these terms if you want, but You don't have to.

8.3.If You cancel this agreement, We will refund any payments we have received from You. This will include any deposit You have paid and any costs of delivery (except for any extra fees You paid because You chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery We offer).

If there has been any damage to or loss of value in the Goods whilst in Your possession, We can reduce any repayment We make to You to take this into account. In calculating any deduction, We will apply our standard mileage policy as the basis for assessing the reduction in value, but You acknowledge that We are ultimately entitled to apply a deduction that reflects the reduction in market value caused by Your use of the Goods.

8.5.We will make the repayment using the same method of payment You used when paying for the Goods. We will repay You without any undue delay, and not later than 14 days after you return the Goods to Us or prove to us that You have returned them.

8.6.For the avoidance of doubt, you are responsible for the cost of returning the Goods to Us if you cancel the Order in accordance with this clause 8. However, the return delivery must be booked and agreed with Us first in order to ensure the safe return of the Goods.

If You're a consumer and You're financing the vehicle

Our right to cancel

8.9.If We're selling the vehicle to You, and You fail to take and pay for the Goods, in pounds sterling, within 14 days of being notified by Us that they are ready for delivery, We will be entitled to treat the Order as cancelled.

8.10.We can then sell the Goods for the best price reasonably obtainable and You will be liable for any loss, cost and expense incurred by Us. If You fail to collect the Goods having paid in full, and title having passed to You, then We may store the Goods at your expense for a period of no longer than 90 days.
