RESERVE CITROËN TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. CITROËN UK WEBSITE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The website www.reserve.citroën.co.uk (“Citroën UK Website”) is the website of Citroën UK Limited (“Citroën UK”), which is operated by it on its own behalf and on behalf of Citroën UK’s Dealers (each a “Dealer”).  You may use the Citroën UK Website to configure, tailor your finance package (as described in Section 8, below), receive a quotation and/or reserve a new vehicle. You are able to save any quotation provided to you through the Citroën UK Website as you go along. The Citroën UK Website, vehicle configuration tool and representative example is provided by Citroën UK, but should you decide to save or progress any representative example/quotation, consider finance options and/or reserve a new vehicle you will have the ability to choose which Dealer you would like to deal with.

Citroën UK’s  role is to take you through the vehicle configuration, finance configuration and assist you in building a quotation for a new vehicle, which is the stage before the online reservation process.   Citroën UK is acting as a credit broker and will introduce you to Stellantis Financial Services UK Limited (“Stellantis Financial Services”). Stellantis Financial Services is the lender. Using the Citroën UK Website, you can choose a Dealer (“your Dealer”). We will make the full list of eligible Citroën UK Dealers available for you to select from however, so you can easily find the Dealers near you, if that is convenient for you, and we will highlight those Dealers nearest in location to your home address/postcode.

Your Dealer’s role is also to enable you to make a reservation for a new vehicle if you wish.  Your reservation will include a finance configuration, based on one of your Dealer’s finance packages (as detailed in section 8, below). Your Dealer acts as the credit broker in respect of the finance agreement, and Stellantis Financial Services is the lender.

The online reservation process is the only way by which you can reserve, configure and/or finance any new vehicle identified in section 2, below. If you do not wish to continue using the online process at any time, please speak to one of the advisors at your Dealer who may help you through the online reservation process.

2. CITROËN UK VEHICLES
The vehicles available to reserve through the Citroën UK Website are those specific models of vehicles in respect of which a reservation facility is provided on the Citroën UK Website whether from Citroën UK’s current manufacturable range or as identified as a vehicle to be added to the Citroën UK’s manufacturable range, and may be built to order according to your configuration.

The images of the vehicles and the size and dimension icons and indicators on the Citroën UK Website are for illustrative purposes only. Although Citroën UK has made every effort to display the sizes and colours of Citroën UK vehicles, accessories and trim accurately, Citroën UK cannot guarantee that any PC, laptop, tablet or phone will display the sizes or colours accurately to reflect the actual size or colour of the vehicles. Your new vehicle may vary slightly from those images.
 
However,  Citroën UK reserves the right, whilst preserving the essential characteristics of the models described, to introduce at any time modifications, changes of details, equipment or accessories.

The images of the vehicles may not include all the exterior options made available to you via the vehicle configurator for your new vehicle. If you require further information in respect of such exterior options, please contact Citroën UK.

If your configured vehicle includes ConnectedCAM (being Citroën UK’s on-board webcam technology) terms and conditions will apply. Please contact your Dealer for further details or to discuss this functionality.

3. RESERVATION PROCESS
You may reserve your configured vehicle by clicking “Reserve your Citroën” button, after payment of a reservation fee – see section 4 below. If you reserve a vehicle on the Citroën UK Website you are not making an offer to purchase a vehicle.

Your Dealer’s acceptance of your vehicle reservation will take place once they have confirmed it when meeting with you at your appointment with them (as referred to in Section 4, below). If your Dealer is unable to accept your reservation, they will inform you, and facilitate the refund of your reservation fee. This might be because the vehicle is out of stock, Citroën UK or your Dealer has identified an error in the price or description of the vehicle or for any other reason.

We will assign a personal reference to your reservation which will be included in the email sent to you confirming that your Dealer accepts your reservation. It will help if you can tell your Dealer, as applicable, your reservation number whenever you contact your Dealer about your reservation.

Please note by submitting a reservation on the Citroën UK Website you are not submitting an order for or offering to purchase a vehicle from your Dealer, and your Dealer’s acceptance of your reservation does not form a contract for the sale and purchase of a vehicle between you and your Dealer. If you wish to order your reserved vehicle you will need to book an appointment to visit your Dealer, where your Dealer will be happy to progress your reservation (as described in Sections 4 and 5, below).

4. RESERVATION FEE
Where you reserve a vehicle through the Citroën UK Website your Dealer will ask you to pay a refundable reservation fee of £99 in full and cleared funds. This will be returned to you in full, whether you decide to order the reserved vehicle or not.

Any card payment that your Dealer takes from you via the Citroën UK Website will be directed through a secure portal and your card details will not be stored by your Dealer or Citroën UK. Any refund (of the reservation fee or that you may otherwise be owed) will be made via the same secure payment portal and to the same card that you used to pay with. If your card has been cancelled, expired or has otherwise changed, please inform us immediately. If you fail to do this and a refund is made to your original card, you may need to coordinate with your bank or your payment services provider to obtain your refund.

Any refund (of the reservation fee or that you may otherwise be owed) will be made to the same card that you used to pay with. Your refund of your reservation fee will be made within 28 days of the date you order your new vehicle or cancel your reservation.

Please note that the Dealer will only accept payment via UK credit or debit card. Your Dealer will not accept payment via pre-paid cards or any other payment methods including but not limited to Apple Pay and/or PayPal. You confirm that you are authorised to use the payment method that you provide to make payment. Citroën UK, and/or your card issuer, may carry out security checking to confirm that this is the case. Citroën UK will not pay interest on your reservation fee, in any circumstances.

Subject to the exact configuration of your new vehicle, if you go on to successfully order your new vehicle, the timing for delivery of your new vehicle will be allocated chronologically, based on the date you reserved your vehicle. The date you reserve your new vehicle will be used to progress any subsequent order for that vehicle submitted by you to your chosen Dealer, following the process set out in Sections 5 and 6, below.


5. AFTER YOU HAVE MADE A RESERVATION
If you successfully reserve a vehicle on the Citroën UK Website, you will receive an email confirming receipt of your reservation and you will be contacted to book an appointment at your Dealer to discuss next steps including vehicle purchase.

Appointments are subject to availability at your Dealer.  If you are unable to attend your appointment, please let your Dealer know.  Appointments can be cancelled either in person at your Dealer or by calling 0800 023 4000.

If you have reserved a vehicle or saved a quotation on the Citroën UK Website please bring your personal reference with you to your appointment. You must keep your personal reference secure and must not share it with any other person.
 
 
 6. ORDERING A NEW CITROËN
At your appointment with your Dealer, you may order your reserved vehicle by submitting an order form to your Dealer. By ordering a vehicle, you are making an offer to enter into your chosen finance package, subject to the finance terms and conditions set out in Section 8 below, the terms of your finance agreement, as updated from time to time subject to these terms and conditions, your Dealer’s new vehicle order form and associated documentation, as updated from time to time.

Your ability to submit an order for your new vehicle is subject to status, eligibility and credit checks, which will be discussed with you at your Dealer appointment.

Please note that any vehicles ordered from your Dealer are for delivery in the UK only.


7. CITROËN UK WEBSITE PRICING
When you configure a vehicle through the Citroën UK Website, you will be provided with information about the price of your vehicle at different stages of your online journey.  We will not be responsible for pricing, typographical, or other errors if such error is obvious, unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing.

At the start of your journey, the price displayed against your selected vehicle will always be based on the Manufacturer’s Recommended Retail Price. We refer to this as the “OTR price”.

Your Dealer may offer a further contribution or discount to the OTR price, so the price presented to you by your Dealer may be different from the price set out in your reservation summary and/or the price displayed at the start of or throughout your online journey.

In addition, Citroën UK may also offer you a manufacturer’s contribution to your deposit for a vehicle (as may appear in your quotation).

The price that you actually pay for your new vehicle will only ever be the lower of the OTR price  or less or the quoted price or less.
