Warranty during the sales process. The relevant warranty period will commence on the date the Home leaves the
factory.

Warranty as your agent. We must be notified by you in writing using our online form

respect of such Home.

Optional Extras
4.6 We offer no warranty, guarantee or cover in respect of any of the Optional Extras, including but not limited to in
respect of missing or damaged items during transit or subsequent breakdown of such items following purchase. We
recommend that all customers purchase such Optional Extras in order to obtain their own warranties.
General
4.7 Our Specifications for the Home are approximate and the information contained in them is intended as a guide only.
Any errors or omissions in the Specifications shall be subject to correction without any liability on our part. We reserve
the right to make changes to Specifications which do not materially affect the quality of the Home.

5. The Park
5.1 Your agreement in relation to the Park, including but not limited to in respect of siting and connection if this is to be
carried out by the Park, shall be with the Park (Park Contract).
5.2 Where the Park is responsible for installation of the Home, we shall not be responsible for any installation delays at the
Park and the Park shall be responsible for correcting any installation problems in accordance with the Park Contract.
5.3 We shall not be responsible for any changes made to any Park Rules by the Park Owners or for any changes in the laws
applicable to the region within which the Park is located.
5.4 We do not accept any responsibility, nor do we guarantee the upkeep of any aspects of the Park, including but not
limited to site facilities and the day to day running of the site. If you have any problems in relation to the Park, these
must be directed to the Park in accordance with the Park Contract.

6. Delivery, Siting and Connecting of the Home
6.1 All dates quoted for Delivery (including the Estimated Delivery Date) are approximate only, and the time of Delivery is
not of the essence. We shall not be liable for any delay or failure in Delivery of the Home that is caused by an event
outside our control or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions (or any other instructions that are
relevant to the supply of the Home) or your failure to provide us with (or procure the provision to us of) adequate
access to the Delivery Site for the purposes of delivering the Home.
6.2 We shall confirm to you when the Home is ready for Delivery or, as the case may be, collection. If we are not able to
deliver the Home to the Delivery Site within 28 days of such confirmation and this is as a result of your failure to
provide us with adequate delivery instructions (or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Home) or
your failure to provide us with (or procure the provision to us of) adequate access to the Delivery Site for the purposes
of delivering the Home:
(a) Delivery of the Home shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the 28 th day following the day on
which we confirmed to you that the Home is ready; and
(b) we may store the Home until Delivery takes place, and charge you for all related costs and expenses (includinginsurance); and/or
(c) we may resell or otherwise dispose of the Home and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, charge you for any shortfall below the price of the Home.
6.3 Please note that if the siting of the Home is not to be undertaken by us it is your responsibility to make adequate
arrangements to have the Home sited appropriately (i.e., straight and level). This is to ensure that the Home is

positioned correctly to avoid any damage being caused internally and externally. Failure to do this may result in doors
and windows not operating correctly and potentially internal components being damaged. We cannot be held
responsible for any issues occurring as a result of poor and inadequate siting arrangements to the extent not carried
out by us.
6.4 You must also arrange for a qualified and registered gas safe engineer to complete a gas safety check and a qualified
electrical engineer to connect the mains electricity as soon as your Home has been sited. The reason for this is that
movement during transit can put stress on the connections and safety cannot be guaranteed without the qualified
engineers’ commissioning and certification checks.
6.5 We will only bear the risk of loss or damage to the Home in transit if we receive photographic evidence of such loss or
damage and such other information required by us within 24 hours of Delivery. In such cases, we will only bear the risk
of external loss or damage to the Home (and no internal contents) in transit up to the current trade list value of the
Home.

7. Services
7.1 We shall provide the Services using reasonable care and skill.
7.2 You shall:
(a) co-operate with us and our employees, agents and subcontractors in all matters relating to the Services;
(b) provide to us and our employees, agents and subcontractors such information and materials as we or they may
reasonably require in order to supply the Services, and ensure that such information is complete and accurate in
all material respects;
(c) provide to us and our employees, agents and subcontractors (or procure the provision of) access to all premises
and other facilities as reasonably required to provide the Services.

7.3 If you do not allow us access to all premises and other facilities in accordance with clause 7.2(c) (and you do not have a
good reason for this), we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result. If despite our reasonable efforts,
we are unable to contact you or rearrange access to your property, we may end the Contract pursuant to clause 12.1.

8. Risk and retention of title
8.1 Without prejudice to clause 6.5, the risk of loss or damage to the Home shall pass to you:
(a) where we are responsible for delivering the Home but not responsible siting the Home, upon completion of the
Delivery of the Home at the Delivery Site (or the date of deemed Delivery under clause 6.2(a) (if applicable));
(b) where we are responsible for delivering and siting the Home, upon completion of the siting of the Home at the
Delivery Site (or the date of deemed Delivery under clause 6.2(a) (if applicable));
(c) where we are not responsible for delivering the Home, when the Home is made available to you.
8.2 Notwithstanding the passing of risk, we retain the legal and equitable title in the Home, which shall not pass to you until
we have received payment of all sums due to us from you under the Contract.
8.3 Until title to the Home has passed to you, you shall hold the Home in a fiduciary capacity for us and in particular you
shall, subject to any applicable Credit Terms:
(a) not modify, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Home nor create any encumbrance over the Home;
(b) insure the Home against any loss or damage and note our interest on the policy;
(c) ensure that the Home is safe and secure;
(d) provide us with access to the Home promptly on demand; and

time but at a rate of 3% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis

must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

extent that it relates to such Services. However, once we have completed the Services you cannot cancel the
Services, even if such 14-day period is still running. If you cancel the Services after we have started providing the
Services, you must pay us for the Services we have provided up until the time you tell us that you wish to cancel
the Contract.

(or any other person with your permission to access the Home) have done anything which reduces the value of
the Home, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
(b) Where the product is a Service, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the Service for the
period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you wished to cancel. The amount will
be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the Contract;

14. Limitation of Liability
14.1 Subject to clause 15.3, if we fail to comply with our obligations under the Contract, we are responsible for loss or
damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of such non-compliance, but we are not responsible for any loss or
damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time
the Contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales
process.
14.2 Subject to clause 15.3 and as otherwise expressly stated in these Conditions, in no event shall we be liable to you in
contract, in tort or otherwise for any loss of goodwill or anticipated savings or any incidental, special or consequential
damage arising in any way out of or in connection with the Contract. We only supply the Home for domestic and private
use. If you use the Home for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of
profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
14.3 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for
death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for
fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Home and any Services including
the right to receive the Home and any Services which are: of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; supplied with reasonable skill and care and, where installed by us, correctly installed; and for defective
products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

However, we are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your property that we
discover while providing the Services. In the case of any damage caused to your property during the provision of any
Services, although care and attention is always maintained, occasional damage may occur and minor scratches and
dents are deemed acceptable, any extensive damage will be repaired on a like for like standard but full replacements
are not provided.

15. Force majeure
We shall not be liable for any delay in performing or failure to perform any of our obligations where such delay or
failure is due to industrial action (whether involving our employees or employees of a third party), acts, omissions or
delays of suppliers or sub-contractors, failure or breakdown of machinery or transport or any other cause beyond our
reasonable control (including but not limited to Covid-19 and/or Brexit).

16. Other important terms

rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the

operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs
will remain in full force and effect.
16.6 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do
anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking
this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against
you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the
Services or allow you access to the Home, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
