2. What's the process?

a) Quote

After a discussion with your Account Manager, they will send you a quote. Please review to ensure all details are as discussed. If you find any error, please notify your account manager so they can amend and resend. Please note that we aim to honour all quotes for a minimum of 7days, however prices may change due to circumstances beyond our control. Should any changes happen your Account Manager will notify you and we will require written acceptance of changes. Alternatively, a new quote can be issued, please discuss with your Account Manager.

b) Finance Application & Credit Checking

Once you select a quote, you will need to complete a Finance Application online via the link sent by your Account Manager. Once completed this is sent to the funder for approval. Should you gain acceptance the funder will request additional information in line with FCA Rules and Regulations. This includes but is not limited to Photo ID such as Valid Driver's Licence or Passport, Bank Statement or access to view your bank via Open Banking, Utility Bills and any other proofs they see fit. For Business Contract Hire additional information may include but is not limited to the above plus Company Accounts and additional information on all company directors or Ultimate Beneficial Owners.

By completing the Finance Application, you are granting permission for us to submit your details to the funder who will conduct a Hard Search. Your Credit File may be locked which will inhibit the Hard Search. It is the customers responsibility to ensure that their Credit File is accessible. Delays in the finance application process may result in us having to send an updated quote due to price changes.

Once approved the funder may put a timeline on the credit to ensure they are following FCA regulations on affordability. Should this happen, the funder will complete another search for credit. Please be advised they may not seek secondary approval to run another credit search. If declined your Account Manager will contact you to discuss the available options. Unfortunately, some dealers may cancel the order immediately upon failed credit due to not having approved finance attached to the vehicle. This is out of our control. Failure to obtain/maintain credit, which results in the order being cancelled will result cancellation fee's as per section 4b.

c) Order Form

Once we receive confirmation that your Finance Application has been accepted, we will issue an order form. This will include the following information:
Contract Type - B*/P* - CH, FL, HP Vehicle & Extra Monthly Rentals Initial Rental Maintenance End of Contract fees (Balloon) Processing Fee payable to V4B Ltd at point of order Information Notice (which requires signing) Commission Disclosure (which requires signing) Terms and Conditions.

This order form serves a dual purpose and holds dual contract obligations: -

Upon signing you are hereby entering into a contract with V4B Ltd to act as your agent and intermediary with a Funder/Contract Hire Company to supply the funding for the goods detailed in the order form.

You are responsible for ensuring all the information is correct on the order form. We are not liable for any signed order forms which are found to have incorrect information on them. The vehicles specifications are supplied by the vehicle manufacturer to CAP/Clear Vehicle Data and formatted for our use. Whilst we make every effort to assist in identifying vehicle options and standard specifications, the information should only be used as a guide, and no decision should be made without verification of the latest data from the manufacturer. Please check your order carefully to ensure it suits your exact requirements. If you are unsure, please check the manufacturer's website and discuss with your Account Manager. We will not be liable for any missing options or features unless specified on the order form.

The Processing Fee is non-refundable. Upon receipt of the processing fee, we will then confirm the order with the dealer and send you an OCS. The dealer may request payment upfront for optional extras; the Customer Support Team will contact you to advise if necessary. V4B and the Customer Support Team will keep you informed as and when we get updates from the dealer. If you are placing a Factory Order you may be able to make changes, however this may result in us having to obtain new credit on the new vehicle price. We will charge an Order Amendment fee of £100 + VAT to facilitate this. If you are ordering a Stock vehicle you will not be able to make any changes to the order once it has been placed.

Road Fund Licences
As you do not have access to the V5 for the vehicle, the leasing company will be responsible for taxing the vehicle. The initial cost will be covered by your monthly payments. However, you may get adjustment invoices each year should there be an increase in the Road Fund Licence as per His Majesties Government. For further information please contact your Funder.

Maintenance
Maintenance can be added to your order up to 3 months past delivery. For further details please contact your Account Manager.
