WARRANTY
• The caravan must have an annual
service and damp check carried out by
an Approved Elddis Retailer or Service
Centre. Original invoices and damp
reports must be retained as proof that the
annual services have been carried out in
accordance with our warranty terms.
• Service intervals:
a) In years 1, 2, and 4 through to 9 the
service must be completed no more
than 60 days either side of the
anniversary of the date of purchase.
b) In Years 3 and 10 the service must
be completed no more than 60 days
before the anniversary of the date of
purchase.
c) For second owners the service in
years 3 and 6 must be completed no
more than 60 days on or before the
anniversary of the original date of
purchase.
d) No service interval should exceed 14
months.
e) Failure to service the vehicle
within the specified time limits will
invalidate your warranty.
• Where an annual service identifies that
repairs are necessary the caravan must
be made available for repair within six
weeks of the date of inspection for the
purpose of carrying out the repair work.
Elddis reserves the right to inspect the
vehicle before work commences.
• Work may only be undertaken by an
Approved Elddis Retailer or Service
Centre and only after approval by Elddis
(depending upon individual
circumstances).
• Elddis will pay the costs of remedial work
to the repairer, only after approved work
has been carried out. The cost of
transporting, towing or moving the
caravan by any means to or from the
place of repair is the responsibility of the
owner.
• The Policy is not retrospective and is
applicable to 2012 model year caravans
onwards.
• No liability will be accepted for any
consequential loss, damage, costs,
expenses or other claims for
compensation arising which were not
reasonably foreseeable by both parties
when the caravan was originally
purchased.
• No liability will be accepted for damage
caused by fair wear and tear, rodent
damage, willful damage, negligence or
abnormal working conditions.
• No alteration may be made to the original
construction.
• In the case of a dispute Elddis will
appoint an independent arbitrator. Elddis
will pay for the costs of arbitration,
subject to the owner paying a £250
deposit.
• If the arbitrator finds in favour of the
customer, then the deposit will be
returned. If the arbitrator finds in favour of
Elddis, the customer will lose their
deposit.
• Where the arbitrator awards a sum of
money less than an offer made by Elddis
which has already been rejected by the
customer, then their deposit is forfeited.
• In all cases the arbitrator’s decision is
final and both parties must agree to abide
by the decision.
Elddis reserve the right to inspect the
caravan at any time.
