Registration

Every new customer must log-in to the website and apply for registration and approval by Vincent Spares (see Privacy Policy below). This enables us to apply the discount to those eligible customers and to register the customer’s details for future orders.

Discount: Individual Shareholders of Vincent Spares and current members of The Vincent HRD Owners Club (VOC) (Note : Membership number must be given and details will be checked against a current list of names supplied by the VOC) are granted a 10% discount on most parts for personal use only. This is for personal, non-commercial use only. Any suspected breach of this condition (e g re-sale of part to another party) will result in the benefit being withdrawn. There are also discounts available for approved trade customers who can qualify for an agreed discount; Non-members of the VOC are welcome use the website.

Shipping/Postage Charges

All Customers: The basic charges are included in the purchase price of the goods. This is done by collecting the total postage and packing charges for all our goods over a period and then apportioning that out as a small percentage addition to our price. This method enables us to give you the full price at the point of order, saves us time in assembling the order, and importantly if a few items are missing from your order, we can ship them later without obtaining extra funds or incurring delays. A few excessively bulky or heavy items sent abroad may incur extra charges and also an individual order with a value below £20 will also incur an appropriate carriage charge. When these charges are applied, they are shown on the invoice. Our aim is to get your order to you as soon as possible. We automatically use the most cost-effective shipping method available. Should you require special courier service a charge may be levied. Collection in person: VAT at the current UK rate of 20% will be charged on all collections.

Backorders:

 If one or more of your items are not in stock, we will backorder the item(s). We will contact you with the anticipated delivery time with the option to part ship, hold the order or cancel those item(s). Should the item(s) come into stock relatively quickly we ship, if items remain on backorder for an extended period, we will contact you to confirm the item(s) are still required.

Incorrect parts:

We endeavour to supply customers’ orders correctly every time. If, however we have supplied the incorrect part or the quality of a part is not to your satisfaction, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can arrange to have the part returned for a full refund or replacement. See item 6 Returns, below.

  1. Payment

 Your credit/debit card will be billed in the name of Vincent Spares. You can pay by any, Visa, MasterCard, Delta, Switch, Solo card. To ensure that shopping on-line is secure, your credit/debit details will be handled by Opayo and Elevon.  Vincent Spares does not store any payment information on its servers.

  1. Cancellations

We can cancel any order up to the point of despatch provided there are no special ordered parts within your order. Please note we cannot offer a cancellation or refund on non-stock items specially ordered for you.

  1. Warranty

All items supplied carry a 12-month warranty. Items not used for the purpose intended, incorrectly fitted, misuse or fair wear and tear is excluded. Only the part itself is covered by the warranty we cannot cover consequential loss. If you are not happy with a part sent, for any reason, it can be returned and either replaced or refunded. See item 6. Returns below. Goods correctly supplied may be subject to a handling charge if returned. You should check all goods upon receipt. Return postage may be refundable. Vincent Spares hold worldwide product liability insurance cover. Please note this very important issue: as was the case when the high-performance Vincent motorcycles were originally assembled, many components require highly skilled fitting skills that take years of training and experience to acquire. Whilst every effort is made to supply the correct components to drawing, the final onus on fitting is with the fitter. If you do not own the correct tools and have the necessary detailed skills and experience for assembly of complex classic high-performance motorcycles, then entrust the job to someone who is suitably qualified.   This is both a safety and potential serious machine damage issue.   We assume no liability for parts incorrectly fitted without sufficient and highly skilled fitting experience together with suitable training on maintaining high performance classic motorcycles.
