Purely out of boredom idle curiosity, this is text from a car dealer's website:

"XXXXXX does not operate an organised distance selling regime, as all cars are available for test drive and viewing at our purpose built showroom in Bawtry. In exceptional circumstances a customer can arrange to have a car delivered without visiting us, but this would not be our normal terms of business and distance selling regulations would not apply."

Can distance selling regulations be nullified like this?

What I find most odd about this, is that in every other way the dealer's website appears extremely professional, high quality, excellent information and images for the cars. Exactly the kind of setup I would normally feel completely confident in using.
