TopFit Towbars will send you an e-mail confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of it (the “Order Confirmation”). This constitutes the “acceptance”, irrespective of whether any payment that has been taken previously by TopFit Towbars.
In the event that TopFit Towbars does not accept your offer and/or does not issue an Order Confirmation to you, TopFit Towbars shall make a full refund of any payments made by you as part of the ordering process.

Mobile Bookings
TopFit Towbars provides a mobile fitting service for all products sold on our website. Order of any product is classed as a Mobile Booking contract.
The fitting of a towbar to your vehicle will be subject to a visual inspection of your vehicle prior to the work starting. This is to ensure you have selected the correct part specifications for your vehicle. If at any point during the fitting it becomes apparent that further parts, or work are required our fitters will advise you before proceeding further. At this point you are free to request that no further work is carried out. In this situation you would only be liable for our costs incurred by us, the remaining balance would be refunded to your card used for purchase.
Cancellation of Work
You have the right to cancel your order within 14 days from the point at which we accept your order. However, where you ask us to commence with fitting of your order within this period you agree to waive the right of cancellation.
There will be no charge provided no costs have been incurred. Where costs have been incurred you will only pay for the work completed or the cost incurred. Where you cancel your order within 7 days of your installation date the parts for your installation will have already been ordered from our suppliers, as such a 20% restocking fee would be discounted from any refund.
Payment for costs incurred will be required at the time of cancellation. Deposits will be refunded only if no costs have been incurred.
If you have paid by credit card, a 2% refund charge will be applied.
Refunds
