5.2 We need certain information from you, which is necessary for us to provide Services. Examples include the vehicle registration number, make, model and engine capacity of your vehicle.

Prior to carrying out any software tuning to a vehicle, we will carry out a basic inspection. We do not make any representations or warranties that this inspection will identify all underlying defects of your vehicle which may cause your vehicle to fail after software tuning has been carried out. In circumstances where the condition of your vehicle is such that we advise you, that the carrying out of Our Services may cause damage to your vehicle over time, and you chose to proceed with Our Services, you do so at your own risk. We may advise that you do not proceed if your vehicle has a high mileage or has been poorly maintained. Where an advisory notice is documented on this invoice, we accept no liability for any damage caused, directly or indirectly, to your vehicle, or any financial loss or expenses incurred by or imposed on or in connection with your use of Our Services.

Any such refunds will be issued without undue delay (and in any event within 14 calendar days starting on the date on which We agree that you are entitled to the refund) and made via the same payment method originally used by you unless you request an alternative method.
