Of course, none of this will be done without contacting you, the customer first.

In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

All orders must be paid for in full before goods are despatched. We do not offer either credit or extended payment terms. There are no other hidden charges.

Please note that the Title of Goods does not transfer to you until an invoice has been paid and that the property, goods and title remain that of GoKarts4u until paid in full.
