5. Product Images and Descriptions
We aim to display product descriptions, photographs, colors, materials, stitching, specifications, and condition accurately.
However:
Screen settings may affect how colors appear.
Used products may show age-related wear, marks, creasing, fading, scratches, repairs, or other imperfections.

Product images may not show every minor imperfection.
Packaging may differ from images shown.
Components visible in photographs are not included unless stated in the product description.
You must read the complete product description before ordering.
Where a listing includes actual photographs of a used product, those photographs form part of the product description. Please contact us before ordering when you require additional photographs or condition details.
6. Vehicle Compatibility
Vehicle compatibility is the customer’s responsibility unless we expressly confirm compatibility in writing.
Compatibility may depend on factors including:
Vehicle model
Production year
Vehicle generation
Chassis or platform code
Body style
Trim level
Left-hand-drive or right-hand-drive configuration
Mounting points and seat rails
Electrical connectors
Airbag systems
Occupancy sensors
Seat-belt components
Heating, ventilation, memory, massage, or powered functions
Control modules and software coding
A product being described as suitable for a particular Volkswagen model does not guarantee that every component or function will work in every version of that model.
Information produced by automated vehicle-compatibility tools, search filters, product tags, or third-party databases is provided as a guide only.
Before ordering, you should compare:
The product description
Part numbers, where available
Mounting points
Electrical connections
Seat functions
Airbag and sensor configurations
Your vehicle’s model, generation, year, and trim
Contact us before ordering when compatibility is uncertain. Provide your vehicle model, production year, generation, current seat configuration, and the product you are considering.
Unless required by applicable law, we are not responsible for costs caused by a customer ordering an incompatible product where compatibility was not expressly confirmed by us in writing.

Installation may involve:
Airbags
Seat-belt pretensioners
Occupancy sensors
Electrical wiring
Control modules
Heated-seat systems
Powered-seat systems
Seat rails
Structural mounting points
Vehicle coding or calibration
Products must be installed by a suitably qualified automotive professional where specialist installation is required.
You must not install, modify, bypass, disable, or connect safety-related systems unless you are legally permitted and technically qualified to do so.
After installation, the installer should check:
That the seat and rails are securely mounted
That all safety systems function correctly
That warning lights are absent
That electrical connections are safe
That seat belts and pretensioners operate correctly
That airbags and occupancy sensors remain operational
That the installation complies with applicable vehicle and road-safety requirements
We are not responsible for damage, injury, faults, warning lights, failed inspections, coding issues, or other losses caused by incorrect installation, unauthorized modification, improper wiring, incompatible parts, misuse, or failure to obtain professional assistance.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
8. Orders
An order submitted through the website is an offer from you to purchase the selected products.
After you place an order, you may receive an automatic order confirmation. This confirms that we have received your order but does not necessarily mean that we have accepted it.
A binding contract is formed when we:
Send you a separate acceptance or dispatch confirmation; or
Dispatch the product,
whichever occurs first.
We may refuse or cancel an order before acceptance for reasons including:
The product is unavailable.
The listed price or description contains an error.
Payment cannot be authorized.
We cannot deliver to the supplied address.
The order appears fraudulent or unauthorized.
The order exceeds purchasing limits.
Shipping restrictions apply.
The product cannot legally be supplied to the destination.
When we cancel an order after payment has been taken, we will refund the amount paid for the cancelled product using the original payment method.
9. Prices

Unless otherwise stated:
Prices include or exclude applicable taxes as indicated at checkout.
Delivery charges are calculated separately.
Customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, storage charges, and local handling fees may not be included.
Prices may change without notice before an order is accepted.
The price charged is the price shown at checkout when you place your order, subject to correction of obvious errors.
If a product is listed at an incorrect price, we may contact you and offer the option to proceed at the correct price or cancel the affected item.
We are not required to supply a product at an obviously incorrect price where the pricing error could reasonably have been recognized.
10. Promotions and Discount Codes
Promotions and discount codes:
Apply only during the stated promotional period.
May be restricted to selected products or customers.
Cannot be exchanged for cash.
Cannot be combined unless expressly stated.
Must be entered correctly before checkout is completed.

Additional authentication requirements
We do not guarantee that every payment method will remain available.
You must not initiate an unjustified chargeback. Please contact us first when you believe a payment or order issue has occurred so that we can investigate it.

12. Shipping and Delivery
We deliver to the destinations listed in our Shipping Policy or made available at checkout.
Delivery dates and transit times are estimates unless we expressly guarantee a date in writing.
Large automotive seats and complete interior sets may require:
Pallet delivery
Freight delivery
Curbside delivery
Delivery by appointment
Assistance unloading the shipment
Access suitable for a commercial delivery vehicle
You are responsible for providing:
A complete and accurate delivery address
A working telephone number
Any access instructions
A person authorized to accept delivery
Suitable access for the carrier
Appropriate assistance or equipment for unloading, where stated
We are not responsible for delays caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including carrier disruption, severe weather, customs processing, strikes, accidents, border delays, natural disasters, government action, or incorrect address information.
Risk of loss or damage passes to you at the time required by applicable law. Ownership of products passes only after full cleared payment has been received, unless applicable law provides otherwise.
13. Inspection on Delivery
You should inspect the packaging and products promptly after delivery.
For pallet or freight deliveries:
Check the shipment before signing the delivery record.
Record visible damage on the carrier’s delivery document.
Take clear photographs of the packaging, pallet, labels, and damaged areas.
Do not sign the shipment as being received in good condition when visible damage is present.
Contact us as soon as reasonably possible.
You should report:
Transit damage
Missing products
Incorrect products
Missing components
Significant condition differences
within [number] days after delivery, or within any longer period required by applicable law.
Reporting a problem promptly helps us investigate it with the carrier. A short reporting period does not remove statutory rights that cannot legally be limited.
Keep all packaging until the issue has been resolved.
14. Cancellations
Contact us immediately when you want to cancel or change an order.
We cannot guarantee that an order can be changed or cancelled after it has been submitted.
An order may no longer be cancellable when it has:
Been processed
Been packed
Been collected by a carrier
Been dispatched
Been customized
Been specially sourced
Been prepared to your specification
Consumer cancellation rights, where applicable, remain subject to local law and the exclusions permitted under that law.
15. Returns
Returns are governed by our separate Returns and Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
Before returning any product, you must contact us and obtain return instructions or authorization.
Do not return products without authorization.
Unless the product is faulty, damaged, incorrectly supplied, or applicable law states otherwise:
You are responsible for return shipping costs.
Original shipping charges may not be refundable.
The product must be returned in the condition required by our Returns and Refund Policy.
Products must not have been installed, modified, wired, coded, damaged, or used.
All included components, accessories, packaging, labels, and documentation must be returned.
You are responsible for the shipment until it is delivered to the authorized return location.
Because automotive seats are large and heavy, return freight can be expensive. You should confirm compatibility before purchasing.
16. Non-Returnable Products

Custom-made products
Personalized products
Products modified at your request
Special-order products sourced specifically for you

Products damaged while in your possession
Products missing components
Products returned without authorization
Clearance products expressly marked as final sale
Products that cannot be resold for health, safety, or hygiene reasons after being unsealed, where legally applicable
This does not affect rights relating to faulty, damaged, misdescribed, or incorrectly supplied products.
17. Refunds
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method unless otherwise required by law.
Processing times may vary depending on the bank or payment provider.
We may deduct an amount reflecting any reduction in product value caused by handling beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect the product, where permitted by law.
We may also deduct unauthorized return expenses, missing components, customs charges, carrier fees, or damage attributable to the customer where legally permitted.
Shipping costs are refunded only where required by law or stated in our Returns and Refund Policy.

Another appropriate remedy
We will not treat damage caused by incorrect installation, misuse, modification, unsuitable storage, accidents, ordinary wear, or incompatible vehicle systems as a manufacturing or supply fault.

Used and reconditioned automotive products are not new.
Reasonable signs of previous use may include:
Light scratches
Creasing
Wear to bolsters
Minor discoloration
Surface marks
Previous mounting marks
Minor trim wear
Age-related changes
These characteristics are not defects when they have been disclosed, shown in photographs, or are reasonable for the product’s stated age and condition.

Where a listing states that a product is sold for parts, repair, refurbishment, display, or off-road use, you accept that the product may not be suitable for immediate installation or road use.
20. Warranties
Any product warranty offered by us will be described on the product page or in a separate written warranty document.
