By means of cookies

The User is advised that this website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are installed in the browser of the User’s computer in order to record his/her activity.

They can be also used to measure audience, traffic and navigation parameters, session time and/or monitor progress and the number of entries.

Nevertheless, it has to be taken into account that in accordance with legislation, it shall be understood that (i) the User has given his/her consent if the configuration of the browser is changed and this disables the restrictions preventing the entry of cookies and (ii) that the referred consent is not needed to install those cookies which are strictly necessary to provide a service which has been expressly required by the User (by means of previous register).

NON-LIABILITY CLAUSE

SEAT Ireland takes great care in compiling the contents of these internet pages and makes sure that they are updated on a regular basis. They are nevertheless only meant to provide non-binding general information and cannot replace detailed individual advice to help the prospective buyer make his/her decision. The technical features and equipment of the vehicles described are only examples. Such features and equipments can vary. They are subject to alterations at any time. You will get binding up-to-date specifications on the features, equipments, characteristics and prices of our vehicles exclusively from your authorized dealer.

SEAT Ireland does not guarantee that the information on these pages is up-to-date, accurate and complete, or that they can be accessed without disturbance at any time.

When we refer to web pages of third parties (links), SEAT Ireland does not take any responsibility for the contents of the linked pages. In activating the reference, you leave the information service of SEAT Ireland. Diverging regulations can therefore be applicable to the services of third parties, in particular with regard to data protection.

SEAT Ireland further exempts itself from all liability for related services – in particular for the downloading of files provided by SEAT Ireland on the web pages of SEAT Ireland – in the event of slight neglect of duty, unless fundamental contractual obligations such as life, health or body are concerned, or claims based on the Product Liability Act are affected. The same applies to neglect of duty on the part of our vicarious agents. 

STOCK LOCATOR AND ONLINE ENQUIRY

i. This Site includes a tool that allows you to search for and locate selected new & used SEAT vehicles that are available for purchase from a SEAT Retailer based on your search criteria (the “Stock Locator Tool"). You can currently find this tool at: https://www.seat.ie/services/stock-locator

ii. The display of vehicles and search results through the Stock Locator Tool, and your use of this tool to select a vehicle and/or make an enquiry:

    1. does not create a contract or other binding obligation between you and us or a SEAT Retailer; and

    2. is not a vehicle order or an offer capable of acceptance. 

iii. The vehicles available on the Stock Locator Tool are not updated in real time so it is possible that you may enquire about a vehicle which may already be subject to other enquiries or may have already been sold by the SEAT Retailer or which is otherwise not available. In this instance, the SEAT Retailer will contact you by email or telephone to make you aware and offer alternative available vehicles.

iv. The sale agreement for any vehicle listed by the Stock Locator Tool is not concluded on the Site and you will need to visit the applicable SEAT Retailer to make your purchase. The purchase process will start when you visit the applicable SEAT Retailer the same way it would if purchasing a vehicle in person from a Retailer’s showroom. A SEAT Specialist will provide and discuss with you the terms and conditions relating to your purchase of the vehicle.

v. If you decide to purchase a SEAT vehicle, then the agreement for the purchase of the vehicle will be between you and the applicable SEAT Retailer. We (Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited) do not enter into these agreements and, as we are not a party to them, do not have any obligations under them.

vi. The vehicle will only be removed from the Stock Locator Tool when you have purchased it (i.e. when you have entered into an agreement for purchase of the vehicle).

viii. Any enquiry made through the Stock Locator Tool is not a vehicle order or reservation and does not guarantee the vehicle will be available for sale. The enquiry option provides you with an opportunity to discuss purchasing the vehicle with the SEAT Retailer. However, the SEAT Retailer may offer the vehicle to other customers during this period. 

ix. Once you have completed the enquiry process within the Stock Locator Tool, you will receive an email to confirm that your request has been passed to the relevant SEAT Retailer. The SEAT Retailer will contact you by email or telephone to confirm if the vehicle you requested is still available and to set up an appointment for ordering the vehicle.

x. Your enquiry is not a commitment to purchase.

xi. As part of the ordering process, it is exclusively up to the SEAT Retailer to provide you with all the pre-contractual information about the vehicle and then if applicable to agree, with you, all the terms and conditions of the vehicle order including the price, financing conditions and delivery date. Please address any queries or issues to your SEAT Retailer.

xii. If you are selecting a SEAT vehicle, prices shown are SEAT's recommended on the road prices (Recommended On The Road Price or ROTR). Actual prices are set by SEAT Retailers in their sole discretion – always obtain these prices from your chosen SEAT Retailer. The ROTR is RRP including delivery charges of €850 as recommended by SEAT Ireland.
