  Your Vehicle is priced and configured based on options and features available at the Order Date. Options and/or features released after the Order Date may not be included in your Vehicle.
Purchase price, taxes and official or government fees, and payment terms

  You agree that all the Personal Data provided by you to us and all information relating to your access to, and use of, the Website may be used and retained by us for the following purposes (the “Purposes”):
2. 3.2
  You shall pay:
  - the First Payment on the Order Date;
  - the Second Payment two (2) months after the Order Date, as stated on the Vehicle Configuration; and
  - the Third Payment on the Actual Delivery Date.
3. 3.3
  
  The Initial Purchase Price does not include taxes and official or government fees. As these taxes and fees are constantly changing and will depend on other factors, such as where you register the Vehicle and, or whether the Vehicle will be registered or not, they will be calculated closer to the time of delivery and indicated on your Final Price Sheet. You will be responsible for paying these additional taxes and fees (if any) [on the Actual Delivery Date].
4. 3.4
  
  You acknowledge that title of the Vehicle does not pass to you until we receive full and final payment of the Initial Purchase Price from you, and our receipt of written confirmation of your full and final payment of any additional taxes and fees to the relevant authorities.
5. 3.5
  
  As your Vehicle is custom ordered, we incur significant costs in starting production of your Vehicle. We also incur significant costs for re-marketing and re-selling the Vehicle if you cancel your order for your Vehicle or default/breach these Terms. As a result, the First Payment is non-refundable once your order is placed with Apex (except as provided in Paragraph 4.1), and the Second Payment is non-refundable once paid to Apex. You acknowledge that the First Payment and the Second Payment amounts are fair and reasonable estimates of the actual damages that we have incurred or may incur. We will credit your First Payment and Second Payment payments toward the Final Purchase Price of the Vehicle [when you are required to pay the Third Payment and any additional taxes and fees on the Actual Delivery Date]. You acknowledge that your payment of the First Payment and Second Payment, and these Terms, are not made or entered into in anticipation of, or pending, any conditional sale contract.
6. 3.6
  
  All payments to be made under these Terms shall be made in cleared funds, without any deduction or set-off, and free and clear of, and without deduction for, or on account of, any taxes, levies, imports, duties, charges, fees and withholdings of any nature now or hereafter imposed by any governmental, fiscal or other authority save as required by law. If you are compelled to make any such deduction, you shall pay us such additional amounts as are necessary to ensure receipt by us of the full amount which we would have received but for the deduction. You shall not be entitled by reason of any set-off, counter-claim, abatement, or other similar deduction to withhold payment of any amount due to us, unless we have otherwise agreed in advance in writing.
Manufacturing process
1. 4.1
  We will submit your order for your Vehicle to our factory for production one (1) week after the Order Date. During this one (1) week period, you may:
  - cancel your order and obtain a refund of the First Payment; or
  - make any changes to your Vehicle Configuration without incurring any [administrative or manufacturing] costs, provided that the cost of any additional options and/or features shall be added to the Initial Purchase Price and payable upon ordering such changes.
2. 4.2
  
  After we submit your order for your Vehicle to our factory for production, the First Payment becomes earned and non-refundable pursuant to Paragraph 3.5. As production of your Vehicle is already underway, changes to your Vehicle Configuration during this time will be difficult, if not impossible, for us to accommodate. If you want to make changes to your Vehicle Configuration, we will try to accommodate your request. If we accept your request, you will be subject to potential price increases for any pricing adjustments made since your original order date. Any changes made to your Vehicle Configuration, including changes to the Initial Purchase Price, will be reflected in a subsequent Vehicle Configuration that will form part of this Agreement.
3. 4.3
  
  Inventory Vehicle. This Paragraph is applicable if you are purchasing the Vehicle from our inventory (i.e., the Vehicle has already been manufactured, as indicated by an existing vehicle identification number). As we incur significant costs in preparing and coordinating the delivery of your Vehicle, including shipping logistics, the First Payment and Second Payment are non-refundable. You acknowledge that the First Payment and Second Payment amounts are fair and reasonable estimates of the actual damages that we have incurred or may incur in transporting, re-marketing, and re-selling the Vehicle. We will credit your First Payment and Second Payment against the Final Purchase Price of the Vehicle when you are required to pay the Third Payment and any additional taxes and fees on the Actual Delivery Date. You acknowledge that your payment of the First Payment and Second Payment, and these Terms, are not made or entered into in anticipation of, or pending, any conditional sale contract.

  We will notify you of when we expect your Actual Delivery Date, which such delivery will be at your local Retailer, or such other location as we may agree to. You agree to schedule and take delivery of your Vehicle within two (2) months of the Estimated Delivery Date, or the Actual Delivery Date if this is different. If you are unable to take delivery within the specified period, your Vehicle may be made available for sale to other customer
3. 5.3
  
  If, on your behalf, we are coordinating the shipping of the Vehicle to you via a third party common carrier, you agree that delivery of the Vehicle, including the transfer of title and risk of loss, will occur at the time your Vehicle is loaded onto the common carrier’s transport (i.e., FOB shipping point). The carrier will insure your Vehicle while in transit and you will be the beneficiary of any claims for damage to the Vehicle or losses occurring while the Vehicle is in the possession of a common carrier. To secure your final payment and performance under the terms of this Agreement, we will retain a security interest in the Vehicle and all proceeds therefrom until your obligations have been fulfilled.
