4.7.6. either delivered to us, or available for us to collect, within seven days of the Quotation being accepted.

4.8. If, at any point, the conditions in 4.7 vary, then we may adjust the Quotation. If we need to adjust the Quotation, we will inform you of the adjusted amount and you will have a reasonable opportunity to cancel the Contract without penalty.

4.9. The Quotation will clearly state whether there is to be a payment made by us to you or a charge to be payable by you to us.

4.10. Any payments that are owed to you under the Contract will be made in euros (plus VAT if applicable). Payment may be made by cheque, electronic transfer or cash by us.

4.11. If there is a charge to be paid by you under the Contract, you shall make payment in euros (plus VAT if applicable) to be received by us on or prior to the date on which your car is accepted, unless we agree otherwise with you. If you pay by cheque and your bank refuses to honour it, then we may charge you for any costs that we incur directly as a result of such refusal (such as bank charges).

4.12. Where any terms contained in the Quotation are varied prior to your acceptance of the Quotation, then such variations will be confirmed to you along with all other relevant details, prior to us entering into the Contract with you.

4.13. Quotations are valid for seven days from the date on which the Quotation is issued by CarTakeBack to you. In the event that you do not accept the Quotation within this period, it will expire. If you still wish for us to provide the Services, you will need to make a new request.

5. Cancellation

5.1. Statutory Rights of Cancellation: In certain circumstances, you might have rights under the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2013 (the “2013 Regulations”). These 2013 Regulations apply only if you are a consumer entering into a sales contract or a services contract where you, as a consumer, pay or undertake to pay a price for the goods or services. Where you have rights under the 2013 Regulations, these rights are outlined below.

5.1.1. Generally the 2013 Regulations will not apply to the transactions envisaged by these Terms, but in the event that they do, a consumer will have the right to cancel orders for services during the period of fourteen calendar days after the day on which the consumer enters into an agreement for the provision of services with a supplier or, if later, the day on which a consumer receives notice of its right to cancel ("Cooling Off Period"). The Regulations contain several exceptions to the Cooling Off Period.

5.1.2. Once you have accepted the Quotation, you may cancel the Contract within 14 days as outlined at 5.1.1 above. However, if you want the Service to be performed before the end of the Cooling Off Period you must (i) provide prior express consent to the commencement of the performing of the Service (ii) acknowledge that you will lose the right to cancel the Contract once the Contract has been fully performed.

5.2. Other Cancellation: Other than the statutory right of cancellation in 5.1 above, you may not cancel the Contract without our consent. If you nevertheless cancel you shall be liable to us for the reasonable and foreseeable loss we suffer as a result of such cancellation (such as, without limit, travel and time costs incurred by us prior to cancellation) and such damages shall be paid by you upon such cancellation. We shall use our reasonable endeavours to reduce any such damages by an amount to reflect any replacement contract which we are able to carry out as a result of cancellation.
