Tips for Trouble-Free Motoring

ValueGuard Warranty is here if you need it to protect you against the cost of repairing covered mechanical or electrical breakdown, but there are a few things you can do to enjoy miles of trouble-free motoring.

• Check your tyre pressures every week – a 2-minute job that can save you money on tyre & suspension wear and can make your car more fuel efficient

• Top up your screen wash every week – a clean windscreen is a safe windscreen

• Check your oil every fortnight – top up with the right grade if necessary to help prevent early wear of key engine components. Your vehicle owner’s handbook will tell you which grade to use

• Check your lights weekly – blown bulbs are usually simple and cheap to replace and will help you see and be seen

What’s Covered? Plan AValueGuard Plan A Warranty covers almost all mechanical and electrical components on your vehicle against mechanical and electrical breakdown, subject to the conditions detailed below and the maximum claim limit. There are some components, such as service items, which are not covered.

Mechanical and electrical breakdown is the failure of a component, causing a sudden stoppage of its function, for a reason other than wear and tear, normal deterioration or negligence. Damage caused by the effect of overheating is not regarded as a mechanical breakdown under the terms of the warranty.

ValueGuard Plan A provides cover for wear and tear other than:1 Repairs to brake and clutch systems where these are necessitated by worn or

burnt out friction materials.2 Repairs carried out to improve engine oil consumption where there has been

no mechanical failure.

We know that policy terms and conditions aren’t the most riveting read but please take a moment to check the following pages to make sure that ValueGuard Warranty is right for your vehicle and for your circumstances.

value on the date of claim.• There is no limit to the number of claims you can make but

Policy Premium Payments and Policy DurationsCover is available on a monthly renewing basis with ten monthly payments or as an annual policy with a single upfront payment.

Your monthly policy has a minimum term of 12 months and we reserve the right to vary your monthly premium at any time by providing you 30 days’ notice in writing to the last address you provided us with. We will not automatically renew your cover after the initial 12 month period, however we will write to you at the

Page 10: It’s easier to protect your vehicle with ... - Car Care Plan

Warranty Conditions The conditions of this warranty are set out below. Warranty repairs will only be carried out if you agree to these conditions. Please take time to read them.1. It is your responsibility to decide whether to authorise the

dismantling of your vehicle or any covered component. The administrator will only accept the cost of dismantling if it is part of an authorised warranty repair.

2. The administrator is not liable for any statement or representation which contradicts the conditions of this warranty unless the statement or representation is supported in writing by the administrator.

3. If the warranty repair is carried out by a VAT-registered repairer the warranty repair cost will not be more than the manufacturer’s list prices for parts. Parts which can only be sourced from outside the UK will be reimbursed at the UK price of an equivalent part. Labour costs that are necessary to repair those parts will be reimbursed as per the repairer’s warranty labour rate and actual repair times will be limited to those in the latest Glass’s Guide ICME manual or the manufacturer’s recommended repair times. With every claim you make, you must provide a VAT receipt from the repairer authorised to carry out the repair.

4. If you don’t follow the manufacturer’s service schedules or maintain the vehicle as recommended by the manufacturer, this warranty will not apply to the extent that the fault was the result of failure to comply with either the service or maintenance recommendations. When you have your vehicle serviced, you

are allowed 500 miles either side of the service mileage or four weeks either side of the time period given, whichever comes first. It is important that you retain your service receipts as they may be required to validate any repair request you make.

5. Geographical Territories - this warranty is valid for breakdown in the United Kingdom (which includes Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man). The warranty is also valid whilst your vehicle is outside the United Kingdom but within the European Union or EFTA for up to 60 days per annum.

6. The administrator reserves the right to provide replacement parts and to carry out repairs under this warranty or to arrange for their provision by other persons.

7. This warranty does not cover the following:a. Any vehicle where the speedometer or odometer has been

interfered with, altered or disconnected.b. Repairs, replacements or alterations not authorised by the

administrator.c. Routine servicing or maintenance of a vehicle.d. Repairs to vehicles which have been modified after the sale of the

warranty and that modification has contributed to the failure or has failed itself.

e. Any vehicle used for hire or reward such as taxis, courier, delivery or driving school vehicles, or any commercial vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight of more than 3.5 tonnes or a vehicle used in any sort of competition, including track days, rally or racing.

f. Vehicles that are used in a public service capacity (e.g. police vehicles or ambulances).

g. The gradual reduction in operating performance of any part (fair wear and tear) due to the age of the vehicle and/ or the number of miles it has covered.

ValueGuard Warranty

Page 11: It’s easier to protect your vehicle with ... - Car Care Plan

h. Any liability for death, bodily injury, or damage to other property or any loss caused directly or indirectly by the claim or event giving rise to a claim under this warranty provided that this exclusion shall not apply to any death or bodily injury caused by negligence of the Dealer or its agents.

i. Any damage which is due to any type of accident.j. Any damage which is a direct result of negligence or of any wilful act

by you or any third party other than the Dealer or its agents.k. Any parts which are replaced as part of normal servicing

requirements.l. Any damage to parts which are being recalled by the vehicle’s

manufacturer or which have design faults.m. Any failure caused by faults which a qualified engineer thinks could

have existed before the warranty began.n. Any damage to components due to the use of contaminated or

incorrect fuel.o. Components/repairs covered by any other existing warranties or

insurances.8. This contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance

with the laws of England and Wales. Any and all disputes arising in relation to this contract shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

9. Nothing in these conditions will reduce your statutory rights relating to faulty or mis-described goods. For further information about your statutory rights contact your local Trading Standards Department or Citizens Advice Bureau.

10. Warranty Period – the warranty period appears on the Registration Confirmation Letter that we will send when your warranty purchase is complete. The warranty will expire on the date or mileage shown in this letter, whichever occurs first.

Where a monthly renewing policy has been selected, the policy will automatically renew each month when your premium is paid. Please see the section Policy Premium Payments and Policy Durations. It should be noted that in the absence, for whatever reason, of the standard manufacturer’s warranty period, the start date and expiry date of this warranty will remain unchanged from that detailed in the Registration Confirmation Letter. Additionally, if the warranty starts earlier than the date detailed in the Confirmation Letter, because of the manufacturer’s warranty has expired earlier on mileage, then the expiry date of this warranty shall be earlier and reflect the period of warranty purchased/provided.

11. Maximum Claim Limit - There is no restriction to the number of claims you can make, up to the value in aggregate of the vehicle market value. Please refer to your Validation Certificate for details of your maximum single claim limit.
