(b) LIMITED WARRANTY - Replacement Parts.
The obligations of the Company during the warranty term
are limited to the repair or, at its option, the replacement of
any genuine Lotus part determined to be defective in mate-
rial or workmanship during the warranty period expressed in
paragraph 1(b). All replaced parts shall become the property
of the Company.
(c) LIMITED WARRANTY - Corrosion Perforation.
The Company warrants to the original owner and each subse-
quent owner during the warranty period set forth in Paragraph
1(c), that if corrosion perforation occurs on the chassis or com-
posite body structure of a Lotus motor car, within the warranty
period expressed in Paragraph 1(c), the parts or components
affected by such perforation shall be repaired or replaced,
without charge for labour or parts. Provided, however, that:
a) the Lotus car must be brought to an authorised Lotus dealer
for inspection at least one time each year; and
b) the Lotus car has been used and maintained in a normal
and reasonable manner.
c) corrosion perforation is not due to any or all of the follow-
ing: an accident; abuse; damage; installation of an accessory;
chemical substance; an act of nature; fire; or salvaged car.
(d) OBTAINING REPAIRS.
All warranted repairs will be effected at Lotus Dealers upon
presentation of suitable evidence of eligibility. A reasonable
time must be allowed for the dealership to perform necessary
repairs, and customers are requested to allow such a reason-
able amount of time. It is not Lotus Cars USA’s responsibility to
provide the customer with a loan car during these repairs. The
provision of a loan car should be discussed with the dealer.
