The terms and conditions apply to all business transactions carried out by Registration World Limited, hereinafter referred to as the 'Company'.

The person applying for the rights to display a vehicle registration mark from the Company and/or the recipient of the registration mark is hereinafter referred to as the 'Purchaser'.

The registered keeper (that is the exact name of the person/organisation who does or will be showing on the V5 registration document) of the intended recipient vehicle for the registration mark you are purchasing is referred to as the "Nominee". (Nominee details if different to the ones given at the time of purchase can be added or changed at a later date for a further fee of £45.00)

It is the sole responsibility of the Purchaser to ensure that all the correct details are entered onto Company Internet forms and submitted or given to the Company's representative at the time of purchase. The Company's representative shall use standard phonetics to refer to combinations requested by the Purchaser.

Under the Distance Selling Regulations the Company must notify you that the service we provide begins as soon as the registration mark is reserved on your behalf, subsequently there is no 'cooling off period', the transaction cannot be reversed, cancelled or exchanged and no refund can be given.

Before a transfer application can be submitted to the Department of Transport, the Company must be in possession of all the correct recipient vehicle documentation from the Purchaser.

In no circumstances shall the Company be made responsible for any failed transfers or disappointments. In such cases any payment made shall be refunded in full, provided that the failure is through no fault of the Purchaser. The Company's liability is strictly limited to a full refund only and no claims for damages; interest on monies paid or any other expenses shall be entertained.

Whilst every attempt is made by the Company to complete the transfer as quickly as possible, the Company cannot guarantee any specific time period for the entire transfer process. The Company cannot accept responsibility for delays or errors caused by the postal system, electronic mail, the Department of Transport, the DVLA, any unforeseen circumstances or any failure or delay on the part of the donor or the recipient vehicles.

The recipient vehicle at the time of transfer must be licensed and of a testable type.

In addition to the terms and conditions set out by the Company, the purchaser also agrees to be bound by those set out by the DVLA and the Department of Transport .

Registration numbers cannot be used to make vehicles look younger than they actually are, for example, 'S' prefix marks can only be assigned to vehicles first registered as new on or after the 1st of August, 1998.

Registration numbers must be displayed correctly. To mis-space or mis-represent your letters and numbers in a way is an offence under the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 1971. Subsequently all registration marks sold by the Company are sold on the understanding that they will be displayed in accordance with Section 17 of the Road Vehicles Regulations Act 1971.

If acrylic number plates displaying the new registration mark are not ordered through the Companies website or telesales, then they are the Purchasers own responsibility to supply. In either case they should not be displayed on the vehicle until the Purchaser has received the new tax disc bearing the registration mark purchased.

The registration mark must be assigned within 12 months of purchase to a vehicle in the name specified as the "nominee". The Purchaser may apply for an extension of the entitlement period should they wish to keep the mark off a vehicle for a further 12 months, however the responsibility of extending the further 12 months and paying the fee of £45 to do so, is that of the Purchaser. If the registration mark is not assigned within this period or an application made through the Company to extend, then the rights to display the registration shall lapse. The purchase price shall not be refunded and no compensation or monies will be paid to you by the Company.

In the event that the Purchaser fails to extend the pending lapse of a V750 (retention certificate), the Company reserve the right to apply for an extension at our own cost, assume ownership of the registration mark and consider the purchase void. In such circumstances the failure to extend shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser and no refund shall be made. The Company is not obliged to remind the Purchaser of expiry date.

The issue of a new V5 bearing the new registration number shall be conclusive proof that a successful transfer has taken place for both Purchaser and the Company

We transfer all registrations in strict accordance with the Department of Transport rules governing cherished numbers.

Our database comprises of many millions of registration marks. We sell registrations from our own stock, client and also Government owned. Best efforts are given to indicate the correct prices alongside each and every registration displayed, however in the unlikely event of an incorrect price being shown on the website on a registration ordered through the internet, then no money would be deducted from your credit/debit card without prior consultation with you, the Purchaser.

If a registration mark is supplied as a certificate following the Purchasers request to mail out, it is the Purchasers responsibility to apply to have the certificate renewed or the registration assigned prior to the expiry date.

Any subsequent transfers with regard to the number purchased are the sole responsibility of the Purchaser, although the Company will be happy to handle the paperwork on subsequent transfers for a fee of £20.

The Company cannot hold a vehicle registration mark prior to receiving payment.
