TERMS & CONDITIONS
www.alpine-cars.co.uk (the "Site") is a website provided by Renault S.A and Renault UK Limited trading as Alpine (“Alpine”). The Site offers customers ("Customers", “You”, “you”, “Your, “your”) the possibility to make an online reservation ("Reservation"), check your likelihood of being accepted for finance (“Finance Eligibility Check”) make a provisional application for finance (“Finance Application”) and sign your contract for finance for a new Alpine vehicle from an Alpine Store (“Vehicle(s)”). The Vehicle can be collected at an approved participating Alpine Store in the UK (excluding Channel Islands and Isle of Man) ("Alpine Retailer"). These terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) describe the rights and responsibilities of you and your chosen Alpine Retailer in relation to your Reservation made through the Site. Please read them carefully.
Before you can reserve a Vehicle, you will need to sign up for a My Alpine account on the alpinecars.co.uk website or the My Alpine app. Your use of My Alpine will be subject to the My Alpine terms and conditions.

Payment of the Reservation Amount for either a Vehicle from Alpine Retailer stock or a Vehicle built via our online configurator does not constitute a contract for sale and does not mean your Reservation has been accepted. Reservations are subject to acceptance by your Alpine Retailer. An Alpine customer services representative (“Alpine Guide”) will confirm your Reservation with the Alpine Retailer and will contact you to confirm acceptance of your Reservation. Acceptance of your Reservation does not constitute a binding contract or any offer to enter into a binding contract for the sale of the Vehicle. Prices and offers shown on the Site are correct at the time of publication and may vary at the point you place your actual order for the Vehicle. Finance offers are subject to offer end dates. Neither Alpine or its Alpine Retailers can be held responsible for the expiry of offers or a change in the price of Vehicle between Reservation being made on the Site and the placing of your actual order. Only the signing of an order form with your Alpine Retailer to purchase the Vehicle or the signing of a finance agreement with Mobilize Financial Services (or any other financial provider you are introduced to by your Alpine Retailer) by you, will constitute a contractual commitment to purchase the Vehicle.
If you decide not to purchase the vehicle, you can request a refund of the Reservation Amount at any time by contacting your Alpine Guide. Your payment will be refunded in full, usually within 10 working days.
Alpine and/or the Alpine Retailer reserves the right to cancel your Reservation.

Alpine and/or the Alpine Retailer reserve the right to slightly change the specification of your Vehicle provided that the change is insignificant.
