​

Vehicle ordering Disclaimer

In the current situation around the work with supply issues of raw materials and also manufacturing there have been some delays in regard to vehicle deliveries not only in commercial sector but the industry itself.

All our dates we give for our customers are based upon information we receive from the dealer network but also directly from the manufacturer themselves. These dates are an indication, and, in some instances, vehicles are delayed beyond the expected time frame. This is not uncommon right now and is why we try and be as honest as possible with delivery dates.

We, AMS, are not directly responsible for these delays whatsoever. We do our utmost to chase manufacturers to make sure our vehicles are being built on time, but we cannot and will not guarantee any delivery dates to you until the vehicle is physically on site. All dates given are an estimate.

​

• We are not responsible for loss of business due to any delays of new vehicles.

• All dates given are an estimate based off live information we are receiving from manufacturers and our dealer network

• Once vehicles are on site, we can then start giving indication on a completed delivery date.

• We do not control the supply of new vehicles. This is something totally out of control of AMS and also the dealer network.

​

Deposits are not refunded in the case of a delayed vehicle. We plan our business off the dates we are given and order material etc to meet these dates well in advance. These delays not only cause our customers inconvenience but also a large cost to us regarding materials as we order these to land when vehicles are expected to land. To help in these situations we are allowing our customers to swap vehicles if wanted to something which is already on site at AMS or landing earlier. This is not an issue whatsoever and is aiming at reducing the impact of delays on our customers. Deposits with no charge can be transferred between vehicles to make sure you are satisfied. You have every right to transfer to another vehicle if it lands earlier.

If a vehicle is cancelled by manufacturer you have every right to a refund in this instance.
