- The Home

- If the Home or any Optional Extras have the benefit of a Manufacturer’s Warranty, we shall pass on the benefit of the Manufacturer’s Warranty to you at the same time as title to the Home passes to you in accordance with these terms. In these circumstances we shall have no liability where any defect or grievance raised by you is within the scope of the Manufacturer’s Warranty. We will provide you with a copy of/information relating to any applicable Manufacturer’s Warranty during the sales process.

Any such notification following this period will not be acted upon.
- A Manufacturer’s Warranty may be voided in the event of an Off-site Purchase where the installation is not completed by a qualified installer with certification to validate this.

- We offer no warranty in respect of any Pre-owned Homes or any fixtures or fittings contained in it. This is reflected in the Charges payable in respect of such Home. We do not inspect the condition of appliances and shall not be responsible for their condition. We advise you to have any appliances tested prior to purchase.

- 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
- 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.
- The Park
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Delivery, Siting and Connecting of the Home
- 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.
- 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:
- Delivery of the Home shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the 28th day following the day on which we confirmed to you that the Home is ready; and
- we may store the Home until Delivery takes place, and charge you for all related costs and expenses (including insurance); and/or
- 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.

- where we are not responsible for delivering the Home, when the Home is made available to you.
- 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.
