RockAuto, AutoZone, Advance Auto - selling car parts carries unique liability. Generic e-commerce terms don't address fitment guarantees, core return policies, warranty limitations for safety-critical parts, or installer liability.
These clauses separate adequate terms from liability protection
What happens when a part doesn't fit despite matching the listing? VIN lookup accuracy, year/make/model disclaimers, and buyer verification responsibilities must be defined.
Remanufactured parts require core returns. What's the deposit? Timeline for returns? Condition requirements? Core charge disputes are common - terms should address them.
Brakes, steering, airbags - safety parts carry enhanced liability. Terms should include appropriate warnings, installation requirements, and liability limitations for these items.
Parts warranties vary wildly. What's covered? What voids the warranty? Professional installation requirements? Mileage or time limits? These need to be crystal clear.
Who's responsible when a correctly-shipped part is installed incorrectly? Seller vs. buyer vs. installer liability allocation is critical for auto parts retailers.
A failed part can cause engine damage, accidents, or lost income. Terms must address whether you're liable for downstream damages beyond the part itself.
