5.2. If You choose to lease/finance the Vehicle from the Leasing/Finance Partner, smart won't be a party to the leasing/financing agreement between You and the Leasing/Financing Partner and therefore We will not be accepting Your order.

6.2. Buying Additional Products through the Marketplace is covered by the same terms indicated in clause 5 except for when You pay using cash for Additional Products from a Marketplace Seller as the contract is between You and the Marketplace Seller only.

Pre-order Vouchers and their Order Process
Payment, Subsequent Price Change, Delays and Offsetting
8.1. If You choose to buy the Vehicle on a cash basis, We will request payment of the purchase price as set out in clause 4.6 via bank transfer before the Vehicle is delivered. If You choose to lease/finance the Vehicle from the Leasing/Financing Partner, the conditions agreed to in Your leasing/financing agreement shall apply.
8.2. To ensure that Your Vehicle is ready for collection on the agreed date, We need to commence the delivery process in advance. The total purchase price as referred to in clause 4.6 is payable a week before the scheduled delivery or collection of the Vehicle as specified in clause 10.1. You must transfer the total amount to Our bank-account as stated in the order confirmation at least a week before the agreed collection date so We receive the total purchase price before the agreed collection date. If We don't confirm receipt of Your payment by the agreed delivery or collection date, the Vehicle and any Additional Products won't be handed over and the delivery or collection date for the Vehicle and any Additional Products will be delayed.
8.3. If delivery occurs within 4 months of completing the Purchase Agreement, the total agreed purchase price in the Purchase Agreement is the price You shall pay to Us. However, if the delivery is after 4 months of completing the Purchase Agreement than that, the agreed total purchase price may change at Our reasonable discretion until the actual delivery date. Factors that may cause any price adjustments are external factors, including but not limited to, increase(s) in Our supply costs for materials and/or for services provided by suppliers.
You can withdraw from the Purchase Agreement if the agreed total purchase price for the Vehicle, the Additional Products and/or the transfer fee has increased more than 3% compared to the agreed total purchase price indicated in the Purchase Agreement.
If You wish to exercise You right to withdraw, You must contact us in writing within 2 weeks of Us notifying You of the change to the agreed total purchase price.
Delivery and Force Majeure
9.1. The estimated delivery date for Your Vehicle and any Additional Products to Your smart Agent is indicated in the shopping cart, Your order summary and/or email confirmation. The delivery date is estimated on conclusion of the Purchase Agreement. During the ordering process, You can choose a preferred delivery date for the Vehicle. However, We cannot guarantee the delivery date is always specified. If no delivery date is specified, the Vehicle and any Additional Products shall be delivered within a reasonable period of time, normally 12 weeks for new Vehicles in stock.
9.2. All delivery dates indicated in clause 9.1 are not be binding on Us.
9.3. Six weeks after any estimated delivery date, You can ask Us to deliver the Vehicle within a reasonable period, which decreases to 10 days for any Vehicles that are in stock. If We receive Your request after 6 weeks after the estimate delivery date, We will be in breach of the Purchasing Agreement. If You are entitled to compensation for damages caused by Our delay, Your claim shall be limited to a maximum of 5% of the agreed purchase price if We have been negligent.
9.4. If You wish to withdraw from the Purchasing Agreement and/or claim damages instead of performance, You must give Us a reasonable deadline for delivery. If You have a claim for damages instead of performance, Your claim shall be limited to a maximum of 25% of the agreed purchase price if We have been negligent. If You are a Business Customer, claims for damages instead of performance for Our negligence are excluded. If whilst We are in breach of the Purchasing Agreement delivery becomes unintentionally impossible, Our liability shall be limited as stated above. If the damage occurred even though We delivered on time, We won't be liable.
9.5. If there is a delivery delay, We will inform You promptly.
9.6. Whenever smart is temporarily prevented from delivering the Vehicle due to force majeure events, smart will be released from its obligation to do so for the duration and to the extent non-performance is caused by force majeure events. The dates and periods specified in clauses 9.1 to 9.6 shall be extended for a period of time corresponding to the delay resulting from any force majeure events.
For purpose of this clause 9.6, force majeure events shall mean: any extraordinary event beyond smart's unforeseeable and uncontrollable control that cannot be prevented by smart even by exercising the highest degree of care and that prevents smart from complying with its obligations, including but not limited to: natural disasters, fire damage, floods, strikes, wars and military-conflicts, trade embargos, pandemics or epidemics (including the Covid-19 pandemic), as well as operational disruptions or official decrees for which smart isn't responsible. Supply difficulties and other disruptions of performance by smart's suppliers shall only be considered force majeure events if the supplier is prevented from performing its obligations due to a force majeure event.
We'll let You know as soon as the force majeure event happens and We'll do everything We can to limit its effects. If the disruption lasts for more than 4 months, both Parties can terminate the Purchase Agreement. If We terminate the Purchase Agreement, We'll immediately refund any money You have already paid.
This clause won't affect any rights to terminate the Purchase Agreement for any other reason.
9.7. The limitations and exclusions of liability in this clause 9 won't apply to any loss or damage caused by smart, its legal representatives' or its agents' negligence or wilful misconduct or in the event of death or personal injury.

Delivery and Changes to Order before Delivery, Non-Acceptance
10.1. If You agree on a home delivery of Your Vehicle with a smart Agent as specified in clause 4.5, We'll let You know when Your Vehicle is ready for collection at a smart Agent’s location or when it is ready to be delivered.
10.2. Rescheduling or cancelling a booked collection or delivery appointment slot can only be done via the smart Agent. If You want to reschedule or cancel a booked collection or delivery, please contact Your smart Agent. Rescheduling or cancelling a booked collection or delivery does not release You from Your obligation to pay the agreed total purchase price as set out in clause 8.2 a week before the agreed hand-over date.
10.3. However, if You don't postpone or cancel the booked collection or delivery slot before the agreed collection or delivery date, We will charge You for the costs incurred due to the missed collection or delivery slot for Your failure to postpone or cancel it by giving advance notice. You must contact Your smart Agent to postpone or cancel Your collection or delivery slot.
10.4. If Your booked collection or delivery needs to be re-arranged, You will be contacted as soon as possible to arrange a new collection or delivery appointment.
10.5. You must accept any Vehicle purchased within 14 days from being notified Your Vehicle is ready. If You don't accept it, We may exercise Our statutory rights. If We claim for Our losses, these will be based on Our actual costs incurred.
10.6.

This information below sets out Your right to cancel the Purchase Agreement:
15.1. Cancellation right
You have the right to cancel the Purchase Agreement within 14 days without giving Us any reason.
This cancellation period expires 14 days after the day on which You acquire or an authorised third party acquires physical possession of the Product.
To exercise Your right to cancel, You must notify Us (smart UK Automotive Limited) by phoning +44 1908 086062, e-mailing hello@support.smart.com or writing to us at the abovementioned address in section 1 of Your decision to cancel the Purchase Agreement with a clear statement (e.g. either a letter sent by post or by e-mail). You can use the attached standard cancellation form but this is not obligatory.
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for You to notify Us that You wish to cancel the Purchase Agreement before the cancellation period has expired.
15.2. Effects of cancellation
If You cancel the Purchase Agreement, We'll refund You for all payments You made to Us, including the delivery costs (except for any additional costs resulting from Your delivery choice other than the least expensive standard delivery We offer), without and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which You informed Us of Your decision to cancel the Purchase Agreement. We'll refund You using the same payment method You used for the initial transaction, unless You expressly have agreed otherwise; in any event, You won't incur any fees as a result of such refund. We may withhold refunding You until We have received the Product back or You have supplied evidence of having sent back the Product, whichever is earlier.
