2. Acceptance of Terms
By browsing our website, creating an account, or placing an order, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
3. Account Registration
You may browse our catalogue without an account. To place an order you must provide accurate contact and shipping information. B2B accounts require a separate application and approval process — see our B2B Portal. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.
4. Pricing & Currency
Prices are displayed in EUR, GBP, USD, AUD, or RUB depending on your detected region. All prices are indicative and confirmed at quote — they account for regional import duties, high-voltage shipping surcharges, and applicable bulk discounts. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors before an order is confirmed.
VAT and import duties: EU orders include VAT where applicable; orders to the UK may include UK VAT for consignments under £135. Orders to other territories may be subject to local customs duties payable by the recipient upon delivery.
5. Order Acceptance
Your order constitutes an offer to purchase. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order — for example, if the part is out of stock, if we suspect fraud, or if a pricing error has occurred. We will notify you promptly and issue a full refund for any cancelled orders that have already been paid.
6. Payment
- Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Google Pay) — for standard retail orders.
- Bank transfer (TT) — available for orders over €500 and all B2B accounts.
- B2B credit terms (Net-15, Net-30) — available to approved B2B accounts only; subject to credit limits set at account approval.
- All payment data is handled by our PCI-DSS compliant payment processors; we do not store full card numbers.
7. Shipping & Delivery
We ship to 35+ countries. Lead times vary: most in-stock parts dispatch within 1–3 business days and arrive within 5–10 business days to most destinations. High-voltage / UN3480/UN3481 dangerous-goods components ship by approved sea freight with a 30–45 day lead time. Full details in our Shipping Policy. Risk of loss passes to you upon delivery.
8. OEM vs. Aftermarket Disclaimer
We clearly indicate on each product listing whether a part is: OEM-boxed (genuine manufacturer packaging), OE-supplier plain-box (made by the OEM-approved Tier-1 supplier, supplied without branded packaging), or aftermarket Tier-1 (equivalent quality from an independent manufacturer). It is your responsibility to verify that any part is suitable for your specific vehicle. We provide VIN fitment assistance — use our VIN decoder to confirm compatibility.
9. Fitment Responsibility
You are responsible for confirming that the ordered part is compatible with your specific vehicle, including year, trim, and variant. Our VIN decoder and fitment guides are provided as a convenience only and do not constitute a guarantee of fit. If in doubt, contact us before ordering. We accept no liability for parts ordered for the wrong vehicle.
10. Returns & Warranty
Returns are governed by our Refund & Returns Policy. Warranty terms are set out in our Warranty Policy. These do not affect your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection law.
11. Limitation of Liability
We are not responsible for any damage arising from incorrect installation, modification, or misuse of parts. We are not liable for any consequential, indirect, or incidental loss. Our maximum aggregate liability to you for any claim arising from an order is limited to the total value of that order.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
12. Intellectual Property
All content on evcrate.com — including product images, descriptions, and data — is proprietary to Global TradeHub Limited or licensed from our suppliers. You may not reproduce, redistribute, or use it for commercial purposes without written consent.
13. Force Majeure
We are not liable for delays or failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, shipping carrier disruptions, customs delays, trade sanctions, or acts of government.
14. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Any dispute shall first be referred to good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) in accordance with its administered arbitration rules.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified by email or by a prominent notice on the website. Continued use of our services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
