Your Rights as a Consumer – Delivery in the UK and Inside the European Union
In accordance with the UK Law and EU Consumer Rights Directive, if delivery is within the European Union you have a 14 calendar day “Cooling off period” from receiving your items in which you have the right to cancel your purchase and receive a refund. You do not need to give a reason for cancelling your purchase. We are obliged to refund your payment within 10 days of receiving the goods back in a saleable condition. Refunds are strictly subject to the following conditions, please read carefully:

How to Cancel Within the 14 day Cooling Off Period – Delivery in the UK and Inside the European Union
Should you ‘change your mind’ and wish to cancel your purchase within the 14 day “cooling off period”, all returns must be pre-authorised by completing the masai4x4 product returns form. Masai can arrange a collection of the unused goods via courier at your convenience, and at your own cost, or you can opt to arrange the return yourself. We recommend post for smaller low value items or via courier for larger items (for example with www.parcel2go.com). Please include a copy of your invoice inside the box when you return the items. If we arranged collection for you, the cost to us will be deducted from your final refund.

Refunds for Unwanted Goods – Delivery in the UK and Inside the European Union
Providing that the unwanted goods are received back by us in an unused (i.e not fitted), and a resale-able condition we will refund your payment for the goods including initial sending out shipping fees. Cancellations occurring after the 14 day “cooling off period” will not include a refund for initial sending out shipping fees.

All returns are subject to a physical inspection. Returns are not permitted for products that we have custom made for you which includes for example painting or adaption. Orders placed by credit or debit card on our website will be refunded via PayPal or directly onto your credit / debit card. For phone orders we will require your card details again to issue a refund with our card machine. These refunds will be made within 5 working days on return of the goods.

Legal Compliance – Delivery in the UK and Inside the European Union
This returns policy is in accordance with the EU Consumer Rights Directive which came into force in June 2014 and is part of EU law. This law applies to all transactions within the EU where a consumer does not meet the vendor.

Consequential Loss

Masai/Omega Automotive will not be responsible for (i) losses that were not caused by any breach on our part, or (ii) any business loss (including loss of profits, revenue, contracts, anticipated savings, data, goodwill or wasted expenditure), or (iii) any indirect or consequential losses that were not foreseeable to both you and us when the contract for the sale of products by us to you was formed.

The laws of some countries do not allow some or all of the limitations described above. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above limitations may not apply to you and you might have additional rights.

Nothing in these conditions limits or excludes our responsibility for fraudulent representations made by us or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or wilful misconduct.

We will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to comply with our obligations under these conditions if the delay or failure arises from any cause which is beyond our reasonable control. This condition does not affect your right to have the products sent to you within a reasonable time.

Masai/Omega Automotive cannot accept any liability regarding the supply or fitting of its products in respect of vehicle modifications. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to ensure that fitting of any products supplied by Masai/Omega Automotive does not (i)invalidate any vehicle manufacturer’s warranty that may be in force, (ii) complies with local laws and (iii) any required declarations regarding modification are made to your motor insurer.

In the event parts/ products are damaged during any fitting or installation not undertaken by Masai/Omega Automotive by no refund will be given.


2. DELIVERY OUTSIDE THE UK (INCLUDING THE EUROPEAN UNION)

VAT / Sales Tax

If delivery is to a country outside the UK the VAT / Sales Tax will NOT be charged on the final page of the checkout. Prices will be shown without VAT, as our website detects the country you are shopping from. However, you may be charged import customs duties in your own country.

Customs Duties

If delivery is outside the UK,  the receiver of the goods is liable for import duties, if any; not all countries will charge this. It is payable to the courier company or customs office in the receiver’s country. We have no way of knowing what the duty amount will be. You need to check with our country’s customs authority.

You need to pay the customs duties, if any, before you can receive your package. If you DO NOT pay the duties, the package may be returned to us and we will have to charge you for shipping once again, plus a repackaging fee. Items held by customs are at your risk. Refunds will only be provided for items returned in condition suitable for resale.

Cancellations, Order Changes and Refunds – Outside the European Union

IMPORTANT: If delivery is to a country outside the EU you cannot have a refund if you change your mind AFTER we have shipped your items.

Therefore, do not purchase from us if in any doubt about usage, sizes, colours, suitability – call us to discuss first. Even after being advised by us, AFTER we have shipped you are NOT entitled to cancel or claim a refund should you change your mind.

SECURITY STATEMENT

We take security very seriously, which is why we have chosen to use online credit and debit card processing facilities provided by secure gateway payment service providers. It is now known that Internet transactions through systems such as PayPal are inherently more secure than other methods of making purchases in “card holder not present” situations such as telesales, or when giving a card to a waiter in a restaurant. Your online purchase from us will take place in real time, and we will never see your credit card details. You can have confidence that our online purchasing facilities are secure and safe to use.
