  • Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on our site, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on our site is accurate, complete or up to date.
  • Any descriptions or illustrations on our site are for illustrative purposes only, and are published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the vehicles described in them.

Our site is only for users in the UK

Our site is directed to people residing in the United Kingdom. We do not represent that content available on or through our site is appropriate for use or available in other locations. You may use this site to reserve a vehicle or test drive from an address outside the United Kingdom, but we do not deliver vehicles outside the United Kingdom, and any test drives must take place at the address in the United Kingdom which we specify. Finance quotes are not applicable to persons residing outside the United Kingdom.

Reserving a vehicle or booking a test drive

Please follow the onscreen prompts to reserve your vehicle or book a test drive. You may do so only by using the method set out on the site. Each reservation or booking (Order) is an offer by you to pay our charges for reserving the vehicle until, or booking a test drive on, the agreed date, subject to these terms.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the terms of the Order are complete and accurate. Our reservation and booking process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting the Order to us. Please check it carefully before submission.

You must pay the reservation or booking fee quoted on our site at the time you submit the Order, by PayPal or by using any of the following debit or credit cards: Visa, Mastercard or American Express. We will take your payment upon acceptance of the Order, and send you an electronic invoice. An administration fee may be levied for any failed or cancelled payments.

You must co-operate with us in all matters relating to the Order, and provide us with such information as we may reasonably require in order to fulfil the Order, and ensure that such information is complete and accurate in all material respects, and you hold a full UK driving licence on the date booked for the test drive.

After you submit the Order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received it, but please note that this does not mean that it has been accepted. Our acceptance of the Order will take place when we send an email to you to accept it (Confirmation), at which point and on which date a contract between you and us will come into existence. The contract will relate only to the reservation or booking confirmed in the Confirmation.

If we are unable to reserve the vehicle or offer you a test drive on the specified date, we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your order.This might be because the vehicle has already been sold, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the vehicle or because we are unable to meet an agreed deadline.If you have already paid for the Order, we will refund you the full amount paid.

If, despite our best efforts, the fee quoted on our site for the Order on the date you place the Order is incorrect and the correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount. If the correct price for the Services is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of confirming the Order at the correct price or cancelling the Order. We will not process the Order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. However, if we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel the Order and refund you any sums you have paid.

We will use all reasonable endeavours to meet any dates specified in the Confirmation, but any such dates are not guaranteed and, whilst we will use all reasonable endeavours to notify you in advance if we are unable to ensure a vehicle is available for a test drive on the specified date and to agree a mutually convenient alternative date, you will have no rights or remedies against us if we fail to ensure a vehicle is so available.

If you fail to pay the amount due when placing the Order or to provide us with any required information, or if we are not satisfied you hold a full UK driving licence and are legally fit to drive the vehicle on the date booked for the test drive, we will be entitled to cancel the Order and require you to rearrange an alternative date for the test drive. In these circumstances, you will not be entitled to a refund of any reservation or booking fee paid, and may be required to reimburse us on written demand for any costs or losses we sustain or incur arising directly or indirectly from failure.

If you wish to make a change to a date you have booked for a test drive, please contact us as soon as possible to book an alternative date. We may not be able to guarantee that the vehicle will still be available.

The reservation/booking fee is only a good faith deposit, and placing an Order does not guarantee we will not sell the vehicle to another customer before the reservation period has expired or before the date booked for your test drive. However, if we do so, we will, of course, refund the reservation/booking fee in full.

If you subsequently agree to purchase the vehicle, we may agree to credit the reservation/booking fee against the purchase price.

Cancelling your reservation or booking and obtaining a refund

If you are a consumer and the reservation or booking date is at least 14 days after you received the Confirmation, you have a legal right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 to change your mind within 14 days of receiving the Confirmation and receive a refund. However, if you cancel a reservation after the date of the Confirmation, we will only refund that part of the reservation fee which the period between the date we receive your cancellation and the end of the reservation period bears to the total period between the date of the Confirmation and the end of the reservation period. Due to the work which will be require to prepare the vehicle for a test drive, there is no right to any refund if you cancel a test drive booking less than 14 days before the booking date. There is, of course, no right to cancel and receive any refund after you have inspected and/or test driven the vehicle, even if the 14-day period is still running.

To cancel the Order, please complete the Cancellation Form (Available on request) and send to BIGMOTO, Unit 17-18 Bessemer Way, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk NR31 0LX. We will email you to confirm we have received your cancellation.

Alternatively, you may telephone, email or write to us as described under "Who we are and how to contact us" above. If you are emailing us or writing to us, please include details of the Order to help us to identify it and your name and address. If you contact us to cancel by email or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send the email or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or email us before midnight on that day.

If you cancel the Order and are entitled to a refund of all or any part of the reservation fee you have paid, we will make the refund by the same method as you used for payment, as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.

Events outside our control

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under the Contract that is caused by any act or event beyond our reasonable control (Event Outside Our Control).

If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under the Contract, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. We will arrange a new date for the test drive after the Event Outside Our Control is over. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if the Event Outside Our Control has continued, or seems likely to continue, for more than 30 days, you may contact us to cancel the Order and receive a refund of any reservation or booking fee you have paid.

You may only assign or transfer your rights or your obligations under the Contract to another person if we agree in writing.

Waiver: If we do not insist that you perform any of your obligations under the Contract, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you or that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive any rights, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any right related to any later default by you.

Severance: Each paragraph of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them is unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

Third party rights: The Contract is between you and us. No other person has any rights to enforce any of its terms.

Complaints: If a problem arises or you are dissatisfied with the Services, we have a comprehensive complaints policy (available from Bigmoto).

You can submit a complaint to Trading Standards. You can find your local branch via theirwebsite. In addition, please note that disputes may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.
